The Riddle of Tom\'s Family

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the Fountaine Family. God I wish I could own Severus Snape and in all the other chapters I will still own nothing. If you have seen it before or read it before, I don’t own it.


And on with Life


Savannah was almost finished with the set up of the Weasley’s web business. She had in place the distribution center set up in the large back storage room where she had placed 30 floox units. A floox was a product created by her parents; it was a case with a lid set up on the floo network. It was also connected to an account at Gringotts. You could use the floox to send and receive goods through the wizard web.

It was also secure. You could only receive something if you ordered it or if you excepted it. In addition, nothing truly harmful could go through. Also since the floox had to be connected to a banking account, in the case of businesses the money would go to their account when the order was received from the account of the people who ordered.


The floox was extremely popular in America. Now the way the Fountaines made money was the floox was given to the companies on credit and the funds were transferred to their account first until the floox units were paid for in full. Each floox unit cost 100 galleons with a monthly fee of 20 galleons for the use of the floox network. Floox units were also sold to customer of the wizard web.

Savannah was also to open a shop in Diagon Alley to sell floox units. Savannah put 30 floox units in the backroom and set up the distribution bins to duplicate the products as they are ordered to always replace what’s sold. She set up a separate bin for each product and hooked them all to the floox network she had set up. When she had it completely set up to run itself and she was ready to handle a large volume of online orders, she allowed the guys to come in to see the start of their online site.


“So we finally get to see?” asked George. Fred smiled and said “I’m just glad we get to see her. She’s been in here too long.” They both came in and hugged her. She had spent most of her time with them as they only allowed her to work when they did and when they were off she was with them. They had made it quite clear that they both wanted her and were both in love with her.

She was fully in love with both of them, but did not want to come between them. So she held back. They knew she loved and wanted them both by the way she looked at them and them knew why she held back. She held back because she loved them both. “Well, let’s see this wonder you have built.” said George. “Then we can have a night on the town to celebrate our victory.” said Fred.

She started the website and then they waited and waited and waited. Then one order came in, then five orders, 20, 27, 46, 84, 91, 137, 154, 193, soon all the floox units were humming away. Fred and George were shocked, they had made over 200 sales in a period of two hours. This was around the same number of sales for April Fool’s day, their best day.

After three hours the floox units had been paid for and they had made a profit of 1500 galleons and it was still growing quickly. Fred and George grabbed their witch and took her out for dinner and dancing at a wizarding night club. They danced together with her in the middle. When they got home she was kissed by both her wizards all over. She asked them “How can you do this to me, I love you both. Please don’t ask me to choose.”


Fred said “We both love you, we both want you, you don’t have to choose.” “We share everything” said George “You will be ours.” Then Fred whispered in her ear sending chills through her body “And we will be yours.” They pulled her into her room, the master suite with the king sized bed and made love to her that night and asked her to marry them.

They put both their engagement rings on her finger and did a spell to merge them together. The result was a beautiful ring of yellow and white gold. Late the next morning, they checked on their web sales and found they had about 40,000 galleons in their account. They were rich. The first thing they did was pay off the 10,000 galleons their parents owed to Gringotts for the loan to pay for all their Hogwarts education. Then they went to the Burrow to give their parents the paid in full notice.

Arthur Weasley was a worried man. He did not have the payment to give Gringotts this month and was not going to dip into the account set up for Ron and Ginny by Lucius Malfoy. He was about to bury his pride and ask Bill for the money when Fred and George came in with Savannah. Arthur really liked Savannah, she was the only one who had ever sat and answered his questions in quiet patient detail. She explained everything so it could be easily understood.

“Dad” the twins called “Savannah did it, we’re rich.” George said “We made 40,000 galleons last night on our first night on the wizards web” Fred said “So for putting up with our explosions and never making us give up our dream, we got you and Mum a gift.” They handed their dad the paid in full notice. “Thank you, boys” said Arthur, “but you did not have to do this.” “Yes, we did” said George “after all you and mum gave up for us.” said Fred.

Their mum was thrilled about their success because she had not put up with the explosions that rocked the Burrow in vain. She was also happy they had decided to settle down with a wonderful witch. Molly had noticed the ring on her finger, but could not place it. Savannah saw her looking at the ring and explained the two family rings were combined into one.

Arthur and Molly were not put out that the twins would be sharing the same wife. Fred and George were two halves of a whole and Savannah completed them. Arthur told Molly all about their success and the gift while the twins took Savannah flying in the back yard.

Now that Fred and George no longer had to keep the shop open everyday. They decided to open at Hogsmeade only on Hogwarts weekend and mostly do research. They also married Savannah in a bonding ceremony at the ministry with only their parents present then had a wonderful dinner at the Rose and Thorne, a very upscale restaurant.

Classes started up and the Fountaines found it hard to do the work in charms, transfiguration, and DADA. They said nothing figuring they still had not recovered fully from their ordeal with the dark lord. They just put more and more effort into getting it done. They got more tired each day, but did not want to worry anyone. Sara and Melody did very little work outside potions so noticed no change. Jasmine, Eolynn, and Melanie also noticed no change.

Sara Snape sat in Poppy’s office. She was sick as she could be and had been for several days. Every time she looked at all the food at the meal time she felt ill. Severus was worried and insisted that she be checked out by Poppy. Poppy smiled and said “You’re not sick, your pregnant.” “Really!” yelled Sara. “Yes, Severus will be so happy.” said Poppy. Sara looked at the time, this was Severus’ free period.

She made her way down to his office. “Hi” she said as she came into his office “How are you feeling, love” he asked pulling her onto his lap. “I feel wonderful” she said as he buried his hand in her hair and pulled her into a long passionate kiss. After the kiss he asked “What did Poppy say?” “She said we’re having a baby” said Sara. At that moment joy rushed through Severus “A baby?” he asked “We’re having a baby?” “Yes” she said “and it’s time for lunch and our little Snape needs to eat. Poppy gave me a potion to help with the morning sickness and now I’m hungry.”


Severus walked down the hall with Sara on his arm and the biggest grin on his face. It terrified the students they passed in the hall and made them step quickly out of the way. When they made it to the great hall, most everyone stopped to watch Severus, even Draco and Blaise who had grown up with Severus and had seen him laugh. They had never seen him smile in public. Sara smiled at them and placed her hand on her stomach. They smiled back. It then spread quickly. Snape’s a daddy. Who would have thought.

Melody gave Remus the same news just three weeks later about the same time Sirius and William got the news of their growing families. Severus, supported by Remus forbid Sara and Melody from working in their potions lab for fear of accidents. They agreed and decided to spend time reading potion books from the restricted section. Everything went along well and October faded into November. The Fountaine men introduced the rest of the guys to American football which they watched on the cable TV installed by Professor Dumbledore in the large media room set up during the summer.

The end of November found a very sick Amberlyn unable to eat the Thanksgiving dinner that had been made special just for them by Ziggy the house elf sent by their mother and aunt. She made her way up to Poppy’s office. Poppy was happy to tell Amberlyn that she was pregnant because she knew they could easily afford to take care of a baby or two in this case. She had seen two babies during her exam.

Amber looked up to see Draco come through the doors. “Are you okay?” he asked. Draco had become more protective every day. He still had not gotten over nearly losing her and kept a close watch over his love. “I’m fine” she said “just pregnant is all” Draco was shocked, but pleased. “You will be such a good mother” he said “I would not call twins, just pregnant” said Poppy. “Twins” said Draco. “Yes, I will have to notify all your teachers on Monday.” said Poppy. “Could we call Professor Snape up and tell him now?” “Of course” said Poppy waving her wand to summon Severus.


He appeared in the doorway a moment later “Is she okay?” he asked “Yes” said Draco “just has the same illness as Sara” “Your father will be most pleased” said Severus “When are you planning to tell him?” Draco looked at him hopefully “I thought we could tell them at Christmas, so if you could not tell him until we do” “I won’t tell” said Severus. “Now here is a list of foods to avoid and Mr. Malfoy, you need to carry her books and make sure she gets plenty of rest” said Poppy. Draco grinned and said “I will make sure. I’m going to be a daddy.”

Fred and George was in their store, really just sitting around talking about ideas for new products. The broom store next door had been closed for the last week due to the sudden death of the owner of a heart attack. Very rare in the wizarding world. The owner’s son was a Professor at a wizarding college and did not want to run the business. It had been sold. To the surprise of all, it had been bought by Victor Krum after his retirement.

He had shocked quidditch fans all over the world by retiring at the height of his career. He was tired of the traveling, injuries, and groupies. Add to that, he had made enough money to last a lifetime. He wanted a home and family, a large family. This is why Hermione was not the girl for him although they were great friends and still wrote to one another. She wanted a career and maybe a couple of kids. He wanted a wife and as many children as they could have safely.


He was opening his shop today and hoped he would do well. Fred and George saw him open up shop and went over to welcome him to Diagon Alley. “Hi” said George “we’re Fred and George Weasley. You may not remember us. But, welcome to the neighborhood.” “I remember you” he said with his heavy accent. (AN: Sorry, I don’t to accents well) “You are friends with Hermione Granger.”

“Yes, we own the store next door if you need anything just ask. Any friend of Hermione’s is a friend of ours.” said Fred. “Thank you” said Victor. They spoke for some time about Diagon Alley and told him all he needed to know about doing business here. They also invited him to dinner that night. Savannah not only was great for their business, but had learned to cook all their favorite foods from Molly.

Victor was pleased at the invitation as he knew no one and had very few friends outside quidditch so gladly accepted the dinner invitation. He was very impressed with the web business and asked about getting someone from the Floox company to set him up for web business also. Savannah explained she would have someone set up his business, but that she had left the business once married to the twins and now only worked for them.

The next three weeks went by with Draco nearly falling over Amberlyn to take care of her and the babies. Stephen Avery had been laying low and building friendships. He was extra nice to Ashleigh, but not pushy. Now he was planning to make his move.

“Ashleigh” he said coming up to her “will you go to Hogsmeade with me as a date?” “Yes, I would love to” she said. “Well, since that went so well, will you be my date for the Yule Ball?” “Yes” she said smiling “I’ve been waiting for you to ask” “Really” he said as he offered her his arm. “Let’s sit out in the courtyard and talk for a bit.” he said as he led her into the heated courtyard for a long talk.

The courtyard was empty, it was late in the afternoon. Ashleigh leaned into Stephen as they walked toward a hidden alcove.


When they got there Stephen pulled her to him and looked deeply into her eyes. She was so beautiful and felt so right in his arms. He bent forward and brushed his lips softly against hers, she pressed herself against him and deepened the kiss. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her tighter to his body. She wrapped her arms around his neck as they deepened the kiss further.

After several minutes they pulled back to breathe. “Wow” he said “does this mean we are a couple?” “Yes” she said “If you want me and after that kiss I know you do.” They talked and kissed for the rest of the afternoon.


The next Saturday found Remus lying in bed with his wonderful wife, never in his life had he been so happy. Everyone was going to Hogsmeade to shop for Christmas and buy their outfits for the Yule ball. Remus was planning to stay in bed all day with his sweet wife, they had finished their shopping last week.

Severus was meeting Lucius at the Three Broomsticks for a few drinks while their wives went shopping. Narcissa was going to help Amber with a dress for the Yule ball . Severus and Lucius were enjoying the day when Albus came running into the pub out of breath. “Severus” he said breathing heavily “we must get everyone back to Hogwarts. McNair and Bellatrix have escaped from Azkaban and may head this way”

Lucius stopped and gasp raising his hand to his face. “Someone hurt Cissa” he said. They left the pub quickly. A few moments later they heard several loud screams. When they arrived at the square Severus stopped so fast that Lucius ran into his back. They both stood there a moment in shock.
