AN: Thanks for the reviews folks. Here’s chapter 4 for you. I’m on a roll, don’t take it for granted.
Chapter 4: A Plan within a Plan within a Betrayal
B being reverted back to your youth sounded cool in theory, but Sirius wasn’t sure he was too thrilled with the process. Even his hair ached! Shrinking down from 6’ 1” of adult to 11 year old height was NOT fun. Never mind the trauma of discovering that when all this was over he would be calling SNIVELLUS dad!
After the 24 hours it had taken Dumbledore to convince the two men that this was the best thing to do. Sirius wasn’t convinced by the argument that once his memories were altered he wouldn’t care anymore but Dumbledore had won out in the end. It had been explained that the Reguven charm would be first, then the potion, then their memories. Even Snape was getting that one, so that he wouldn’t treat the altered Sirius as he would the original.
This was how an 11 year old Sirius and Kadrin now found themselves in the school infirmary, gazing at the two steaming goblets of a vicious red potion. They would sleep while the potion worked to change their bodies and it was then that Dumbledore would perform the memory charm. Snape was lurking in a shadowy corner of the room glaring at everyone, while a candy popping Headmaster regarded the pair with a disturbing ‘Awww Cute’ look in periwinkle blue eyes.
Kadrin suddenly turned to him and raised her goblet in a toast. She waited until Sirius did the same before saying.
“Fuck you!” and threw the potion back gulping it down in one. Sirius grinned at her.
“Fuck you!” and drank his own potion. He leaned back on his bed, waiting for what came next. Was the potion supposed to taste like pumpkin pasties? He yawned hugely s his eyes grew heavy. He blinked lazily as Kadrin’s head began to nod. Well, goodbye Sirius black he thought and the last thing he saw before darkness took him was Dumbledore raising his wand.

Kadrin Eileen Snape blinked the last vestiges of sleep from her eyes. She pulled herself to an upright position and looked around toe room. In the bed across from hers lay the form of her brother. As she looked at him, a hazy image of a shaggy haired blue eyed man seemed to impose himself over Regulus Septimus Snape. She blinked again and har brother was as he had always been.
The same skinny build, pale skin and long nose she herself had. The only marked difference between them, aside from the whole boy/girl thing, was that while she had their father’s black eyes Regulus’ were gunmetal grey.
Never one to sit idle for long, she swung her legs over and came to her feet. She had a moment of vertigo, a voice screaming at the back of her mind that she wasn’t meant to be this height. Wrong! Her body was all wrong!
“Ah. You’re awake.” And with that the feeling was gone. “I hope you are feeling better children, you gave your father quite the fright.” Dumbledore continued, meeting Kadrin’s eyes searchingly.
“I’m quite alright uncle.” She replied. “I’m just….no, you’re not….this isn’t me. I’m not a Snape!”
“My dear girl!” Dumbledore twinkled merrily. “When have you ever been anything else? I think you’re just a little groggy after you’re illness.”
“Illness?”
“Yes. You and Regulus have both been suffering from high fever. You’ve both been delirious for the past three days.”
“Delirious? Then, hallucinations?” she asked, wishing her father was here, he always new what was wrong.
“Oh indeed. Regulus spent the better part of yesterday in deep discussion with, I believe, a human sized purple parakeet.”
“Oh!” Kadrin murmured casting her eyes to her brother, who was just beginning to stir. That must be it; she was still feeling the after effects of her fever. It had been a dream.
“Where is father?” she asked the headmaster.
“Oh, he’ll be along shortly. He’s been very worried about you two. I practically had to hex him back to his quarters for some rest.” He chuckled as he pulled a bag of lemon drops from the pocket of his chartreuse and violet robes. “Lemon drop?”
“Yes, thank you uncle.” Father and her brother often mocked her for her liking of the candies. Father muttering under his breath about the corrupting influence of interfering old men.
“While I’m here. I would like to ask a favour of you children.”
“Hasn’t the Snape family done enough favours, old man?” Regulus snarled as he dragged himself from the bed. “Our father’s debts are his own!”
“Regulus!” Kadrin admonished her brother, sending him the Snape patented glare of doom number two. He was always grumpy first thing in the morning.
“My dear boy. “Albus twinkled relentlessly. “It s not any hardship. Its just that when Hagrid takes you for your school things in an couple of days, there will be a young man accompanying you. And since it will be his first time in the wizarding world, I was hoping you would both look out for him.”
“You want us running after some Mud blood?” Regulus cried.
2watch your language young man!” a steely look crept into the professor’s eyes. “Harry’s parents were two of the finest Hogwarts has ever seen!”
“Harry?” Kadrin interrupted. “Harry Potter? Father knows about this?”
“Yes. He said –what was it now? Ah yes- that he had ‘no objections to his children babysitting the potter brat, as long as he doesn’t pull them down to his level.’ Or words to that effect.”
Kadrin and Regulus had to concede that it did sound like something their father would say. They looked at each other, communicating in that strange way twins often had. Regulus gave a slight that she was to act as spokesperson in this instance.
“Very well uncle.” She said. “We’ll keep the boy out of trouble as much as we can. We make no promises to befriend the brat however. Now if you will excuse us, we were off to see father.”
And with that the pair left the infirmary with familiar sweeping strides. Neither looked back to see the sudden slump of Dumbledore’s shoulders as the twinkle drained from his eyes.
“I am sorry children. But I do what I must for the greater good!”
AN2: sneaky Dumbledore! Just thought I’d add that if Sirius and Kadrin seem to have had a complete personality change, that’s because they both now have the memories of being raised by everyone’s favourite Potions Master. What do you all think? Hit that review button!!
