Chapter 7: Letters From the Traveling Slytherin


Dear Blaise, August 13

Egypt is hot as Hades. Thanks again for sending more sun block
and burn potions. As I requested I am sending pictures of me and
the pyramids. I’m also sending you a puzzle box. It should keep
your small mind busy a while. I’ll be heading over to Morocco
tomorrow so It will be a few day before I write again. Oh I and sent
Weasley an Egyptian wizarding chess set. When a piece is killed it
Bleeds magic blood. Ha, ha, ha and you know how he faints at the
sight of blood. Send me a picture when he does.

Draco

Draco, October 31

How is Japan? Hope you got your potion for Sushi poisoning. If
not I’ll have Harry make you some more. Tonight is the twins
first Halloween. I’ll be going to Hogwarts for the feast and I got
your gifts for them from your last letter. The Japanese have some
amazing toys I’ll take some pictures to make you wild with envy.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Malfoy December 24

Happy Christmas! Here is a picture of the Twins first visit with
Father Christmas. Harry took them to muggle London for the
Picture to keep his mothers traditions as she was a muggle born.
We all also went to the Palace to see the Tree lighting ceremony.
Professor Snape was offended by the match elf outfits my mum
made them for the occasion. Along with your gifts from all of us,
Harry sends you a fresh potion supply, because he says most of
your potions have a self life of only six months. Harry sure has
his hands full with Sev and Siri. They are desperately trying to
crawl off into the unknown. I wish I could help more but, the
Auoras have me really busy. Well Owl you later it’s almost time
for dinner.

Ron Weasley

Weasley May 28

Thank you so much for the arrest of my aunt Bellatrix. That I
believe was the Best Easter Present I ever could receive I didn’t
know you cared. I hope that psycho gets the Kiss. The pictures of
the Twins at the Easter egg hunt were a pleasant Surprise I didn’t
two year olds could run that fast. Blaise sent me pictures of them
covered in chocolate. Severus doesn’t look too happy did someone
steal his chocolate? Sirius seems to be practicing his manners by
wiping his dirty face on his Grandfather Severus’ robes. Ha, ha, ha!
I’m in Peru and they have some week long festival going on. So I’m
sending some gifts from Festival for the twins up coming birthday.
Oh thank you for the extra Hang over potions. The Alcohol is stronger
than fire whiskey here.

Malfoy

Hey Malfoy, July 18

I’m glad you sent me that Cactus From New Mexico. Harry was
able to use the aloe to improve healing salves. They reduce scaring
up to 65%. I’m sending you a sample to help you with your sever
Sunburns. You really should be more careful. I’m sorry to say that
Ron was laughing for days after he saw the photo of you napping
in the sun. Oh Here are more pictures of Sev and Siri. They starting
to ride Toy brooms I thought Harry was going to kill Ron for giving
them to the Twins. Every time to they mount the mini brooms Harry
starts putting up safety charms and cushioning Charms. Blaise had
to wrestle his wand away when Harry tried to put padding on the
twins. Sorry to be short in write but it’s my turn to pick up the boys
from preschool The Weasley twins are babysit twice a week and I
swear they are corrupting the boys to be their clones.
Be safe in you travels and write soon,

Neville Longbottom


Longbottom September 3

Cheers! I’m happy that you and Lovegood are Finally tying the knot
it took you long enough. Sorry I won’t be there for the wedding but
I’m handling some business problems in one of my families many
companies for Father in Australia. Damn Politics! I swear he is taking
advantage of my traveling life style to fix his messes. Blaise tells me
Father has been hanging around Hogwarts lately. (Poor Professor
Snape) I do hope Dumbledor gives him the Charms position since
Flitwick is retiring. Father has been whining about it for months. That
way he can keep busy and out of my travels. Well they are calling
another meeting. Why me?

Tell everyone I will write gain soon,

Malfoy

Dear Son, October 24

Thank you for sorting out the mess in Russia for me. I couldn’t get
away from my duties here at Hogwarts. Truthfully I do not see why
Severus hates teaching so much I’ve been here two years and I
haven’t had any problems. Anyways we all miss you these five years
you’ve been gone.
Severus and Sirius have started Muggle Kindergarten. Harry is doing
a wonderful job with them. Severus is lucky to have grandchildren to
brighten his life even if his mood is always sour. Harry is a wonderful
father and a good son since he sees his fathers more than once every
2-3 years and even then I have to go see you. Sadly he is still a shy
and slightly jumpy young man.
Maybe that Finnagin fellow can help, as Harry seems to be friendly
towards him. You might remember him from your school years he
was in the same year only he was in Gryffindor. He as take over as
flying instructor for the Rest of the year, Madame Hooch has left due
to a family emergency, and he seems to get our Shy little Harry to smile
once in a while. Who knows what will happen? If all goes well as it has
been they may get married come Christmas time. Well I won’t bore you
any longer with my idle gossip. Take care and write soon.

Love,

Your Father.

Dear Father, October 25

You Best get the Manor ready, because I am coming home. I’ve tired of
traveling and England is calling me home. I will stop in Italy for a week
to visit Blaise. I’ll be home no later then the 3rd of November.

See you then your son,

Lucius smirked as he read his son’s latest letter. He couldn’t help but notice how short and urgent it sound. He never received such a quick response before Draco always sent an answer a least a week after getting it as not to interrupt his travels. He headed to the potions lab where he knew Severus would hiding.

“Severus are you here?”

“I am over here there is no need to shout.” Snape snarled as he continued to bottle potions.

“I’m not Shouting I am calling out to you to see if you are here, but that’s not the point.”

“Oh do get to the point. I am very busy and some of us actually work and teach here.” Te potion master then called a house elf to take the potions to the hospital wing. Then he made his way to his and Remus’ privet quarters with the Lucius following at his heels.

“I teach! Just because the students claim to have more fun in charms you assume we are goofing off.” huffed the Blonde Slytherin.

“I’m sure you didn’t come here to discuss your teaching tactics or lack there of.”

“No I didn’t.” Lucius refused to rise too the bait but settled for glaring at the potion’s master. “I just received a letter from Draco. He’s coming home in a week. It seems that traveling no longer agrees with him.”

“Right… I’m sure it had nothing to do with that Irish prat that been hanging around and drooling all over Harry.” Severus said flatly as he put the kettle on for tea. He Knew the Older Malfoy would write to Draco about the flying instructor. If the Younger Malfoy wanted Harry he had to come home now!

His god son was setting himself up for another fall. Finnigan zeroed in on Harry once he set foot through the front door. It seems that his play boy ways had not changed since he left school. What was worst was his complete disregard of the twins. Oh he put on a wonderful act in front of Harry but otherwise he could careless about them. Sev and Siri hate him and they didn’t like him around their dad, but they didn’t say anything. Their dad would smile a little more from the attention and they didn’t want him to be upset. But that didn’t stop them from pranking the prat when ever their dad wasn’t around. They also had a lot of help from their Grandfather Severus and Uncle Lucius to avoid being caught.

“If I had know a threat of another man in Harry’s life would get him to come home I would have made up a man and wrote Draco sooner.”

“Lucius Harry wasn’t ready then Draco would have just scared him into hiding again.” Severus looked at the time and started casting charms. “Now it is 3:30.”

“Oh Merlin! I didn’t realize the time.” He had only a few seconds to cast a stain repellent charm on his robes, before the door burst open and two huge mud balls came flying at him and the Potion master.

“Grandfather! Uncle Lucius!”

“Severus! Sirius! What on earth did Hagrid do to you?” The Potion Master had never seen his grandsons this messing even when they were watched by the half gaint.

“He didn’t do anything!” laughed the twin holding the Charms professor.

“We found a nest of mudnops and we helped Hagrid collect them for his class tomorrow.” explained the twin that was hugging him.

Severus pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. Why Harry let the Hagrid baby sit he would never know. “Severus, Sirius, go into the bathroom. I’ll be there in a moment. Take off those filthy clothes and give them to the house elves for cleaning.” The twins let go of the Slytherin and ran to the bathroom. “Winky!”

“Yes Master Snape?”

“Draw a bath for the boys and get out my strongest extra strength soap we’re going to need it.”

“Well Severus you have everything well in hand I’ll just be on my way.”

“Oh no you don’t you want to be their grandfather too. So you will help me give them a bathe before tea.” Lucius really didn’t mind the chore neither it Severus as they both loved the Children dearly. But giving the twins a bath was like a battle.

“Very well but at least let me send for a set of clean dry robes this time. These may be stain resistant but they are not water proof.” Last time the Charms professor helped the potions master give the boys a bath he was denied the right to change and had to walk all the way back to his rooms sopping wet in the middle of winter because the floo was down. He ended up a flu and strep throat.

“Fine Spoil my fun, but hurry up Remus will be home soon and we have to inform him of Draco’s homecoming.” Severus left Lucius to order fresh clothes while he went to battle the two mud balls that were called his Grandsons.
