Chapter 15

"What do you mean? How did they get out so soon I thought they were getting fifteen years!" yelled Tobias the people who had made his life a living hell were getting out after ten years. To him it was an outrage; he was still terrified after all those years.

"Their lawyer pleaded for them, and everyone knows what Azkaban is like, so they are getting out," said Severus bitterly.

"Fuck," said Tobias for once in his life Severus did not tell his son of for swearing because he felt the same right now.

"As for the twins I will take them," said Severus with a smile, looking forward to looking after babies again. If he did not calm down, he would end up pulling a Weasley.

Tobias smiled too, glad that his father was happy, Ebony was hardly going to be home her going to Hogwarts, and he was hardly ever going to be able to keep up with his dad, he had jobs to do and people to see and children to bring up, Ginny had a separate account and she put the money she made there.

The children were there the next day; Tobias took the day off drawing and went with his father he had much more to get than last time, double. The clothes they got were different and not anymore expensive then the clothes Tobias or Ebony got. Severus and Tobias made a day of it, not just buying for the two new editions to the family but for his own children who were with Grandma and Grandfather Molly and Arthur.

Together they apparated to the orphanage and Severus picked up the two little bundles that were smaller than Ebony had been, them being premature they were obviously small. The ministry worker was already there, they didn't have to go to the ministry Severus took ages filling them in, they got an adoption potion but their looks didn't change Severus didn't want them to change because they were twins. And as for there names,

Jade Holly Snape ….age 1 week potion no…… godparents no one….guardians Tobias Tyler Snape….weight 5 pounds parents - Severus Snape…and the list finished they run the birth certificate out and it was ready, one of the twins was legally his. He had always liked little girls it will be nice to have a boy to watch grow up. Tobias was their guardian in case anything happened to himself.

Jeff Harrison Snape … age 1 week….potion no…..godparents no... Guardian ….Tobias Snape…weight 5 pounds parents... Severus Snape…. The list finished they run the birth certificate out and it was ready the second twin was legally his; he now had the boy he had always wanted.

Tobias would end up Jeff's, as well as Jade's, Guardian if anything ever happened to him, their mother and father were both dead and now they both had a family. Moreover, Tobias knew that his father would love them just like he had loved him and Ebony.

The Potter's got out, James was nearly insane but Lily somehow kept her mind. They were both out and getting minimum care from the healers there. Ginny didn't go any where near them at all. She woke up still at night with her husband clinging to her for dear life and he would tell her about the nightmare. She was horrified at what her husband had been through as a child. Moreover, wanted nothing to do with James or Lily, and besides they have nothing to do with them what so ever the adoption was permanent.

Ginny had told a few of her friends about what Harry had been through and they could not believe it either, and most of the healers there already knew what they had done to a child and they got fed roughly but still had to care for them, after all she had swore to help anyone in need of their help.

They were let out when they were well enough, and Severus knew he could not keep it from her any longer and he and Tobias broke it to her as best as they could.

"Have you heard of the Potters?" asked Tobias figuring this was the best place to start.

"Yes they had abused their son and their daughter was adopted by someone why?" she asked.

"Well you see you and me are those children," said Tobias.

"What?" she asked not believing her ears?

"I was abused as a child by the Potter's. I had just gotten to Hogwarts Severus could never find me, they had went under the Fidelus Charm which hides you from everyone and the whole time I was abused. They took my magic from me, but a potion that Severus made got me my magic back, he had to force it down me because I would not take it, if it weren't for that I would probably still be afraid of potions," said Tobias with a smile.

"And me?" she asked shakily.

"They didn't abuse you, your parents were arrested before you were born you were born in a holding cell at the ministry of magic, I adopted you and I have never regretted it!" said Severus nearly shouting.

"Why did they do it?" she asked. She didn't understand why anyone would want to hurt her brother.

"I don't know, I've asked my self the same question again and again," said Tobias honestly.

"You always shooed me out of the room when Tobias tossed and turned also when he was mumbling in his sleep!" she said remembering those times.

"Yes I did, because he shouts and screams some times as well as flails his arms and legs!" said Severus with a smile.

"But you had good sleeps when you slept with dad and Me." she smiled remembering when her brother and dad had shared her bed when she was younger. As well as finding her brother and father asleep on Tobias bed.

"When I got you I loved you, you reminded me of my mother, and I called you Ebony Severina Eileen Snape. I had hoped to keep the S for the first name and last too but it seems I ran out of choices, James would probably say I took you in out of revenge but you will have to understand I didn't, but I cannot deny that I hated James Potter more than anything in the world." said Severus.

"Why tell me this?" she asked curiously.

"Because they are out and they will probably want you back try and poison your mind against us," said Tobias bitterly.

"You really think I would listen to someone I have hardly knew rather than my dad and brother?" she said looking at them both as if they had lost their minds.

"No, I just swore I would tell you that was why you didn't have a mother," said Severus.

"Ok thanks for telling me as far as I am concerned I don't have a mother and you are my father ok?" asked Ebony.

"Fair enough sis," said Tobias amused.

"That's fine sweet heart," said Severus.

That conversation ended, she never asked again, she didn't care about Lily and James, the ones who had given birth to her, she was happy she had her brother and her father as well as nephews and a niece and now it looks like she has another brother and sister she will be able to look after.

Ebony ended up in Ravenclaw, James ended up as transfiguration teacher and Lily Charms teacher they had to pay for a living some way because they didn't have any money, it having been taken from them at the trial ten years previously, Ebony saw them looking at her in the sorting feast, she saw they had been disappointed that she was in Ravenclaw, Lily had tried to get to know her but Ebony had pushed away each attempt. Severus was happy, the twins were growing up lovely. Jeff and Jade grew up along with Tobias's children so they were hardly ever alone. Rooms were changed into soft play area and sleeping bags, people actually ended up asking them to look after their children, they soon became a nursery they got people to help out that was at the other side of the manor so you would not be able to hear it from the living room.

James and Lily ended up teaching at Hogwarts, only becuase Albus Dumbledore was there, and people trusted him not to let Lily or James hurt their children.

Tobias ended up having eight children, one set of triplets, which were boys Damien, Daniel and Damon. Then twins two girls Sophia and Amelia Snape. The boy they already had, Severus Arthur Snape, and two twin girls Emily and Eileen Snape.

Ebony took after her father and became a Potions Mistress beating him by one month becoming the youngest potion mistress ever, she had children herself. She stuck to her last name because they had not married when she had them they only married after she had all her children. Moreover, she became Ebony Severina Eileen Snape Samson. A muggle born wizard with wizard backgrounds about two generations of Squibs the children stuck to Snape.

She stayed the youngest potions mistress but Damon, Daniel and Damien all became Potions Masters beating any record in existence they made the best potions known to wizard kind, one enabling men to get pregnant though it was painful. As well as a healing potion that could heal self-inflicted wounds, as well as potions to make having children much easier. Also together, they all managed to make a potion that would cure Werewolves. Something Severus had always wanted to see happen, something he had been trying to make happen. However, his dream became reality. Of course, when it happened the Werewolves loved the Snape name just like everyone else.

Moreover, Severus Snape got to see all this and could have not been more proud; the Snape name was much larger than the Weasley's. All Severus Snape could think was 'It may have been a rocky beginning but it is an amazing ending' and he wrote that in the Snape book, which is filled in with each Snape and what was happening, they have been doing it for generations, that was how Severus Snape knew that half of his family was neutral at one time as well as light wizards as well. It was passed down to Tobias Snape to give to his oldest son, Severus Arthur Snape which eventually would get passed down to the boy's first son.

So the line continued…
