Prologue
The battle was over, and evil was defeated, but unfortunately Severus Snape was not there to celebrate even though he was oneof the key figures in defeating Voldemort.
He should have been there celebrating what he worked so hard to achieve, but the ones celebrating were the ones who didn't do
anything. Potter was probably there, taking all the credit. The thought alone made Severus snort in anger. Instead he was in
heaven, at least what he thought was heaven, it couldn't be hell it was too damn bright and shiny, not to mention all the clouds
flying around and getting in his face. Batting away some them, he saw a glimpse of white robes. Startled he stood up quickly
accidentally inhaling some of the clouds; surprisingly he didn't cough or choke on the stuff. Batting away the remaining wisps, he
yelled into the foggy area.
"Who's there? Show yourself, or I'll hex you into oblivion!"
Suddenly the clouds disappeared leaving in its wake silvery mists revealing two somewhat human looking men smiling at him.
One of them walked up to him holding his arms out. "Ah Severus, we have been waiting for you"
Severus carefully sidestepped his arms and glared at him. "Who are you?" he demanded.
The man looked offended for a moment and then smiled and said "I am Arturo, and this is my brother Arcturus. We have come
to inform you of your future."
Severus snorted, "I'm dead and in heaven, what future is there for me but to reap my rewards as to say."
"Actually, you weren't supposed to die, Hermoine's child was, but you got in the way." Arcturus said smiling gently. Severus
looked bewildered, "What child, I saved that know-it-all Granger, besides I'm pretty sure she didn't have any children hidden up
her skirt or anything. And even if I did, how does that change anything?" The two not quite human brothers looked at each other
not sure how to explain it, "Er, well you see, her child wasn't supposed to live, so we're one soul short, and if we don't do
anything a wandering soul might posses the empty body and cause problems on Earth." Arturo said quickly, as if fearing Severus
might refuse to help, but he still looked confused and asked, "So? What's that got to do with me, I'm dead, I can't do anything
to help."
Arcturus looked relieved and answered, "Actually there is something you can do Severus, you can enter the body of Hermoine's
child." He looked at Severus hopefully.
"Mwahahahahahahahahahahahhaah" Severus in his defense did try to stop laughing, but he couldn't stop it,
"whooohoohoohahahah, be Granger's baby, hahahahhaha" at least for a while, but after he managed to stop he became quite
serious and gave them his answer, "NO. I want to go to heaven and reap my rewards, not go back to hell and be babied by
Granger, Merlin know's who's the father. Sorry, get somebody else."
The two brothers looked troubled for a while, and then flashed him with their perfectly white teeth, "Well" said Arturo, "I knew
you would never agree to this, but it's good to know that at the least we tried, we'll try to deal with the problem when it comes.
But first are there any questions you'd like to ask before you enter heaven?" Severus seemed to ponder, and asked, "What
happens once you're inside?"
Arcturus fielded this question and answered, "You lose your memories and so that your peace is not disturbed by missing the
ones you left behind or being troubled by your past." Severus did not look pleased with the answer and said in a demanding
voice, "What's the bloody point of reaping your rewards when you don't even remember what you did to get them!? When I
enter heaven, don't you dare take my memories or I'll rip you apart" The two brothers looked smug as they lead him towards a
suspicious looking door. "Of course Severus, we will not deny you this request." Arturo said as they stopped in front of the
door. Severus, his mistrustful nature flaring up asked the two brothers suspiciously, "Does this really lead to heaven, shouldn't it
be a golden gate, not a wooden door?" Arcturus laughed, "Severus my dear, you shouldn't believe everything you hear, if it
makes you feel better you can look inside and check to make sure." Severus's suspicions did not leave even though he was
somewhat satiated by this offer. He opened the door and looked inside, but all he could see was babies, hundred's of babies
being born every spilt second. Severus started, "Wait a bloody minute, what is the meaning of this?!!" he turned around, but it
was too late they'd already pushed him and all he could see was their smirking faces looking down on him. Severus Snape,
having survived tortures from both Aurors and Death Eaters screamed for the first time in more than a decade.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" and nobody heard him.
