Like Heather

CHAPTER 56

“Well?”

“A son.”

“And his eyes?”

“Lavender like heather.”

“Then the last prophecy is complete.” Albus Dumbledore let the glowing glass orb fall from his fingers onto the floor between himself and Severus Snape both men watching as the glass shattered into a million pieces releasing into the air the images that had never been seen by anyone but themselves and the seer who predicted them. The picture of Snape standing beside an unfamiliar young man with lavender hued eyes had finally come to fruition after years of secrecy, only to be caught in a draft and filter away into the ceiling rafters never to be seen again.

“Had I realized sooner…” Severus whispered as Albus guided him to the seat beside the fire of the headmaster’s room.

“Had you not been as stubborn as your father you mean?” Albus smiled kindly as he handed Severus a cup of tea and some lemon short bread. “We can not avoid our fate Severus, it will come around to us all eventually as your father found out about his own prophecy.” The headmaster sipped quietly on his own tea his gaze watching Severus calmly as the potion professor sipped from his own tea. “Do not torture yourself Severus, you could not have saved Lily Evan’s nor could you have spared Harry from the pain he has faced in his young life. We neither of us worked it out until the time was right for us to do so, I am just grieved that it had to happen like it did. Harry needed a motivation to kill Voldemort but it wasn’t simply to revenge his parent’s death as I had thought. We gave him the push and you gave him the motivation, one prophecy fulfilled in order to complete another.” Dumbledore finished as he bit into his biscuit dropping crumbs onto his beard. “Now I believe you have some papers for me?”

“Yes, the terms of the new laws are satisfactory, but it will take more than just Ministry laws to change societies view of us.” Snape spoke calmly as he handed over the papers he’d signed agreeing to the new Ministry Law’s regarding the Elith-furatu.

“Like all new things, it will take time for people to accept it but it’s a step in the right direction.” Albus supplied as he took the papers from Snape and instantly sent them to the Ministry with a flick of his wand. Snape smiled and finished his tea before standing up, having seen the first licks of morning through the frosty glass of the headmaster’s windows. “Eager to get back to the babe Severus?” Albus teased good-naturedly his eyebrow rising in knowing having remembered just how severe Snape had chastised him back when he’d been a teenager and the headmaster had suggested the prospect of a son to him.

“Not at all but I did promise Draco…….”

“What is next for you and your Inferei Severus?” Dumbledore inquired cutting Snape off from blatantly lying about his disinterest in his new son. Albus had known Severus Snape long enough now to read even his best-kept emotions. Snape blushed and shrugged his shoulders casually as he pulled on his cloak.

“Not quite sure as yet, but I believe a vacancy for an apocathary assistant has become available at Winston Wings in Diagon Ally.” Snape smiled over his shoulder at the headmaster who frowned in concern.

“Assistant?” Albus asked suspiciously watching as Snape merely shrugged his shoulders. “You know Severus, you and your Inferei are always welcome at Hogwart’s.”

“Thank-you Albus and I might just accept that offer in the future but at present I believe the students and their parents would not wish an Unforgiven teaching in the newly rebuilt school.” Severus watched as Albus nodded in understanding before smiling warmly.

“Indeed Severus but the position is always there should you decide to accept. Now get away with you.” Snape smiled and grabbed a hand full of floo powder as he stepped up to the fire.

“Merry Christmas Albus.” Severus whispered as he threw the powder into the fire and stepped into the flame, just hearing Albus voice calling his Christmas wishes behind him as he left.
