Title: Thou Shalt Not!

Fandom: Harry Potter

Notes: Post-Battle of Hogwarts fic in part. Non-Epilogue compliant. AR/AU. Evil Dumbledore.

Summery: Severus Snape survives the war, only to realize he has nothing left to live for. While musing what he might have done differently, he is interrupted by the arrival of Dumbledore who is doing some 'housekeeping'. A duel begins and in an attempt to save himself, Severus does the unthinkable and breaks one of the greatest tenants of Magic!

What has he done and where has he gone?

The Past- Ch 5

"Master Aurelius? Breakfast be ready. Owl be here for you."

Aurelius woke at once. "I'll be done in a few." He shooed the house elf and dressed. Then he turned his attention to the impatiently waiting owl.

He tapped his shoulder, "come with me to breakfast and you can have a treat that will make up for my tardiness."

The owl haughtily landed on his shoulder.

Aurelius followed his nose to a breakfast parlour; he sat and held out a sausage to the owl, "Might I have my letter now?"

The owl dropped the letter in his lap.

Aurelius snatched it up reading it.

"'Aurelius' Prince,

You are expected to meet with me no later then ten o'clock at Gringotts London. Do not be late.

Griphook

Custodian of Prince assets

Aurelius checked the pocket watch that had belonged to his grandfather, "ten past eight." He had time t have a leisurely breakfast.

XoooooX

At half past nine Aurelius presented himself at Gringotts London.

Griphook escorted him to a private room.

Aurelius sat, "Let's dispense with pleasantries. To you this is our first meeting, to me it is but one of many. It is best to deal with each other honestly. I shall allow Gringotts to verify my identity by blood. I was born in your reckoning over eleven years ago to one Eileen Prince who foolish choose to join her blood and magic to a drunken Muggle. By some quirk of Fate I have been thrown back into what would be my past. However, it would be far too complicated to explain why there are two Severus Snapes. Thus I would prefer to go about under the name of a missing relation Aurelius Prince."

"Quite the story." Griphook snapped.

"I'll submit to veritaserum."

"Pah! You're a prince, you'll have taken the counter potion."

"Test my blood I have not."

"Look me in a room with no food or drink to see it I've taken Polyjuice."

Griphook snorted, "Why? Severus Snape is eleven years old what purpose would that serve?"

Aurelius sighed, "How shall I prove how I am?"

Griphook smirked, "Tell me things an adult Prince would know."

This Aurelius could do, "The Princes' primary residence is Merrivale. I have managed to awaken it. I also obtained the loyalty of what was left of the Prince elves, of which there are six." He proceeded to name the more valuable properties and heirlooms from memory, thank Salazar he possessed an eidetic memory.

Griphook's eyes widened, "You say you learned this how?"

"On my seventeenth birthday you sent a letter with particulars of my inheritance to me. As I was raised Muggle much of what you had sent was explained to me by Lucius Malfoy. My Lucius Malfoy is dead, Kissed actually. I wish to live a more peaceful life, however if I am claimed by Gringotts to be Aurelius Prince a Pureblood, then I can remove my younger self from the custody of his mother and have him raised properly as an heir to a pureblood line."

"This pureblood nonsense I never understood." Griphook shrugged.

"I think we will become compatriots Griphook. I'm going to be wielding my way into pureblood circles. I plan on bringing back some forgotten rituals and ceremonies. Might I count on your assistance?"

Griphook was thoughtful, "just what did you have in mind?"

They proceeded to talk at length about ideas Aurelius had to establish himself.

XoooooX

It was nearly one o'clock when Aurelius emerged from his interview with Griphook, he spotted a long braid of ice blonde hair. For a moment he thought it was Lucius and then he realised it was his father. He steeled himself, "Lord Malfoy?"

Lucius' father turned around, "You are?"

"Aurelius Prince, I've been away a long time. I've just returned to find my House nearly extinct. I've just finished with the executor of old Lord Prince's estate. I have convinced them that I am the proper heir to hold the title and seat. Perhaps, we could discuss what has happened while I've been away. Princes and Malfoys have been friends time out mind; both having been sorted into Slytherin for eons." Aurelius bowed a little, he needed to get the Prince family wand from the vault…

"You are the new Lord Prince? Didn't you disappear about fifty years back? I believe you went to school with my father."

Aurelius searched his brain, "You're Ajax Malfoy's son? I can see the resemblance." Ajax had predated the Dark Lord at Hogwarts.

"Ajax is my father. You don't look like you could be the same age."

Aurelius nodded, "A bit of a potions experiment gone wrong. I found myself decades from where I had been and at the edge of the wards to my family home." A slight twist of the truth…

"Come Aurelius, we have much to discuss. I know a fine Italian restaurant that just opened, Antonio's. You must join me for luncheon."

Aurelius bowed, "It would be an honour my lord. I never expected to have to take this mantle of authority."

"Younger son weren't you?" Abraxus asked.

"You could say that."

"What career were you planning?"

"Potion Master. I once held that title as did most of my family."

"With the exception of that bloodtraitor Eileen."

Aurelius had to school his features into a mask to avoid reacting, "Eileen?"

"Your niece I suspect or some relation that is. Ran away. Heard she married a Muggle. Had a child. Probably a squib."

Aurelius shook his head, "Not according to Gringotts. Eileen is the previous Lord Prince's daughter? I think she has a son, Severus who just started at Hogwarts. Halfblood he maybe but I hope he's in Slytherin. Perhaps, you have a son you could ask?" knowing full well Abraxus had a son, a prefect named Lucius.

"I do have a son, two actually. One's a useless child and other is a prefect."

"Two? I thought Malfoys had only one child, a son?"

"They were twins. Lucius was born first and was my heir. Lucius is a Prefect this year. The second well, he wasn't worth much from the beginning. His name is Xenos, the strange one. "

Xenos? As if Xeno as in Lovegood? The editor of the Quibbler? Luna's father? Odd…

"Is he is Slytherin too?"

Abraxus sneered, "No. He's in Ravenclaw. At least if he had to be Sorted into another House, he wasn't Sorted into Gryffindor or Hufflepuff."

By now they had reached Antonio's and procured a private Dining room.

After ordering a basket of bread and a bottle of chilled wine they sat down to talk.

"Do tell me my Lord," Aurelius began, "what the state of politics is at present."

Abraxus began in simple terms to lay out the state, how Muggleborns were corrupting the very fabric of the Wizarding world and how many pureblood families such as the Blacks, Lestranges, Goyles, Yaxleys, Crabbes and others had joined a powerful wizard to form a political bloc to force change.

Aurelius sipped his wine, "How do Muggleborns manage to corrupt the Wizarding world when the true powerful lies in the Wizengamot? Only purebloods can hold seats and thus do we, wizards not hold have it in our hands? After all though a witch may hold a seat and be a voice true powerful remains in the male line?"

"True but Muggleborns have attempted to force some Muggle ideas on us. Clamouring for bills of rights that only apply to humans. They've raised cries against so called 'mongrel' races such as centaurs, fauns and satyrs. Calling vampires and werewolves dangerous."

Aurelius shook his head, "I see that bills of rights might be useful if properly handled. What other things are they protesting?"

"Enslavement of house elves."

Aurelius was startled; he had believed that was a Granger only idea. "I see. This group of yours, it sounds enlightened. I was planning a ball to introduce myself to person of the right social standings. I had considered having a few games or other entertainment. I have vaults full of jewels I thought perhaps, a hunt. There is a golden bowl that is usually used for flowers in the entrance hall. I thought of filling it with clues. We partner up, ladies choose their partners and we search in teams. The pair who finds the hidden jewels wins. The lady gets the jewel and their partner is allowed to choose a book from the Prince library. Of course they only get a copy but I'm sure that will satisfy them. "

Abraxus looked thoughtful, "I heard my grandfather used to attend parties like that."

Aurelius smirked, "Where do you think I acquired the idea?"

"What other ideas do you have?"

"I would like to met others of your ideological persuasion. Perhaps, I could even ask if you would arrange a meeting between your leader and myself? He might be best suited to explaining how I could help." Aurelius had to see how sane Voldemort was and if he could help, not that he liked the idea of throwing his support behind the man who ended up killing Lily. Yet he refused to support the man who let Lily be murdered and killed Harry.

"I'm sure I could convince the Dark Lord.,"

"Pardon my ignorance but why do you call him that?"

Abraxus acquired a pompous air, "He is our leader, our lord and has made extensive studies of the Dark Arts."

"I see." Aurelius said.

They paused their conversation when their waiter arrived.

Aurelius waited until they were alone again before commenting, "I've created some Dark spells myself and experimented with Dark potions. I need to get recertified as a Potion Master first class."

"You're in luck. I supervise the tests. There is one in a week."

Aurelius smirked raising his goblet in a salute, "Then you are very well met sir."

"So tell me, have you ever been Bonded? Betrothed?"

Aurelius shook his head, "I was interested in a Malfoy once upon a time but they were Bonded before I could speak."

"Perhaps, I could interest you in one of my sons."

Lucius? Aurelius swallowed, "It would be an honour."

"I would offer you Lucius but as it is he is betrothed to Lady Black's eldest niece." Abraxus said pleasantly.

Aurelius closed his eyes, "They won't Bond."

"What!"

Aurelius smirked, "I can see into the future some. The eldest niece? Andromeda? She will become Head Girl with your son but her aunt is such a terror that she runs away. Although the person she breaks the betrothal contract for will be a Muggleborn she will be adequately punished. Dumbledore shall strip her Head Girl title from her and she will stripped of her natural authority as a Queen of Slytherin. To embarrass Andromeda further her replacement as Head Girl will be a Hufflepuff named Amelia Bones."

Abraxus stared, "Why are you telling me this?"

"I'm giving you an out of your betrothal contract, let it be broken by the Blacks. Lady Walburga will try to approach you to offer her youngest niece in Andromeda's place. I will accept Lucius on the condition that he proves he is fertile. You can arrange a limited Bonding contract that is only valid for production of an heir. After which the child who I reserve the right to name and adopt shall remain a Malfoy. After which you can press Lady Walburga to allow her youngest son Regulus who by that time should be an adult to Bond to Narcissa."

"You wish to ally our families that much?"

Aurelius smirked, "Who wouldn't want to ally themselves with the Malfoys?" he was going to ensure that Draco was born and then Lucius would be his. Hadn't Lucius told him that he was attracted to older, powerful men? Now he was older then Lucius and had a chance. He'd court the prickly Slytherin Prince. After all, who knew Lucius better then his former protégée and confidant?

Abraxus nodded, "We have a deal. If Andromeda breaks the betrothal contract as you predict I will arrange things as you suggest."

Aurelius chuckled sardonically, "She will. Since she is doing us both a favour by breaking that contract, she is destined to be a fine Healer. Would you mind terribly if I arranged for them to train in Paris? They will owe us, Walburga will do her level best to ruin them in Britain for embarrassing her."

Abraxus shrugged, "You'll welcome to do whatever you like. I'll be glad to see the back of Walburga. She's too domineering to be a woman."

Aurelius sneered, "It's a Black trait. As for your unwanted son, he could do you a great service."

"How so?"

"He is going to fall for a young woman, Demeter Lovegood, a descendant of Ravenclaw. She's going into the field of experimental charms."

"Lovegood? My Xenos is going to Bond to a Lovegood?"

"Remember whatever you think of them, they are descendants of Ravenclaw."

"I suppose it might not be a dreadful thing. How do I push it along?"

"Stop hounding Xenos for not being Malfoy enough. Keep your association with this political bloc from the public eye. When Xenos approaches you about it be non-committal. Insist he take the Lovegood name, as a second son to bond to a line that is entailed upon the female is no small reach."

"What will he go into?"

"Magical creatures. I think he should be granted a large property to acquire whatever creatures suit his fancy but try to keep him out of the publishing business. He'll make you a laughing stalk." Aurelius warned. "I believe the Muggle would call what I'm proposing a zoo. I have a large property that is host to many rare magical creatures. We could allow him to discover what I have."

Abraxus held out his hand.

Aurelius shook it. "Pleasure doing business with you."

"I'll discuss your desire to meet with our Lord. I'll owl you at Merrivale with an answer."

Aurelius nodded, "I shall await his reply. If I wished to push for the removal and adoption of my Halfblood relation who in the Ministry would I have to approach?"

"You want him?" Abraxus was shocked.

"Halfblood he may be but it he's a Slytherin, he should be raised in our world by the proper persons and not raised by a blood traitor. How can redeem the blood line if he's left to languish amoung Muggles?" Aurelius would not leave his teenage self to be raised by his drunken, depressed mother or his abusive, drunk, unemployed father.

"Rosier, Evan Rosier. He is the Head of the Department of Magical Family Services. I shall send him a letter to inform him that you shall be coming."

They parted.

While Aurelius could never really like Abraxus he felt he could grant the man a grudging respect.

A voice called out, "Lord Prince?"

Aurelius turned to see a goblin striding towards him.

"Yes?"

"Griphook wishes to see you sir."

Aurelius raised an eyebrow incredulously. "Now?"

"Immediately."

Aurelius made his way back to Gringotts.

XoooooX

Griphook was pacing in the atrium of the bank, snapping when he spotted Aurelius, "About time."

"I was merely partaking luncheon with Lord Malfoy."

"Yes, yes that's why I sent Grimblehorn to search for you near Antonio's. Come. I'm found something you must see."

Griphook grabbed his arm and dragged him to the cart.

"We're going to my vault?"

"Yes dunderhead. Hold tight."

The ride was like one of those Muggle jet coasters Lily was so fond of.

They stopped before vault 624.

Griphook unlocked it, handing the key to Aurelius, "Keep that." He snapped, gesturing for the wizard to follow.

Aurelius did trying to restrain his curiosity.

"Read that." Griphook snapped, pointing a large velvet tapestry.

Aurelius did.

Eileen Elizabeth Prince ~ Tobias Herman Snape

V

Severus Tobias Snape – Lillian Anastasia Snape

Born January 9th, 1960

Aurelius gasped, "I have a sister?"

Griphook stared at him, "You were not aware of this?"

"No. Where is she?"

"She is living in the same village as your younger counterpart. Start at Hogwarts same as you."

Aurelius whispered, "Lily Anne? Lillian Anastasia? How is it possible…"

Griphook glared, "Ask Eileen."

Aurelius sneered, "Oh I intend too." So Lily wasn't a Muggleborn after all? That would mean that Harry wasn't a true Halfblood. He would have her blood status changed, that would explain why Lily and himself had such a deep connection. And would probably explain why they fought like siblings. He would discuss this with Eileen and with the Evans. Lily never knew she was adopted. Did Petunia?

Griphook said nothing when he used a quick photo charm to capture the genealogy of himself and his best friend.

This trip into the past was more revealing and rewarding then he had guessed.

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
