Here’s a chapter about my AU universe…


Interlude: Rumbleplinstin or Brina’s historian

Neville had gained access to the library after much convincing from Lord Dermot. The young Gryffindor find himself liking more and more the Irish Lord. He introduced himself as Lord Snape’s uncle. How could such a nice man be related to such a man, he’ll never know.

Darwin the Head Butler had showed him the giant white doors that lead to the library.

“I think I can leave you here, if you need anything, remember that Cathy is at your service.”

Whitout waiting for an answer, he left the young wizard in front of the doors. Finally, Neville opened the doors. He gasped, the room was at least the size of a ballroom. It looked like a big public library. Neville found himself strolling in the different sections. He was so ingrosed in his inspection that he didn’t noticed the small figure that watches him from above.

“You must be the Apprentice!”

He heard. Surprised he looked around.

“Up here!”

He lift his face he saw a strange looking little man that strangely reminded him of his charm teacher.

“Don’t come up, I’ll get down...”

That’s when Neville noticed the ladder. When the man was down his head reached Neville’s waist.

“Hold that for me!” He said giving Neville an encyclopedia.

“And this...” Neville followed him around various sections and each time his load got bigger. It was like shopping with his grandma.

Finally the little man went to the tables in the center of the library and settle in one confy looking chair.

“Put them here and sit down!”

Neville complied, still rather shocked by the way his day has gone so far.

“Well, you’ll have to tell your name I haven’t had time to record or research anything on you so we’ll do it together...”

“E-excuse me, but who are you?”

“Oh good question! I’m Rumbleplinstin, librarian and historian of Brina! Generation of my family has work here.”

“Oh, like Mister Darwin’s family...”

“The goblin? My family was here before his! We the dwarves were here even before Brina was erected by Lordess Scilti!”

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to ofend you... why do you want to record me...”

“Ah! As historian of Brina. It is my duty to transcribe the different events of life here. Once you became an Apprentice under a Snape Lord you join the Snape Clan. You will own your knowledge to him and his clan. It’s a proof of your stay here. And it gives me something to do!”

Neville himself was smiling.

“You must know a lot about this place. Mister Darwin just told me what he knew of the different room but not much on the family.”

“Well I can tell you a little more about Brina...”


Little history

The Snapes are old and their history is rich! I can tell you a lot about it.

This land was inhabited by the first Snape, Taran Snap. He wasn’t Count at the time or anything. He lived near my clan and the different magical creature of the land, away from the non-magical villagers. He was a druid! Many wizarding families came from a druid clan.

He was childless, but he had adopted a child he had found in the obscurian forest, where a werewolf clan lived. He named him Dorian. The same Dorian Snape that saved a stranger from a muggle army. Later it was discoverd that the stranger was a high elf. As a gift he offered the magical land that is now Brina to the Snapes.

Brina was only erected during Merlin’s reign. It was a present from Lordess Scilti. I found out in one of the old manuscrit that Scilti was the son of a high elf that ran away from his realm to marry Severus Endamion Snape the first. Both new Lords made of the land of Brina what it is today. They made a pact with the Fern clan, a werewolf pack that lives in the Oscurian Forest that is now included in Brina’s land. The Ministry of Magic is trying to get their hands on it, because of the ressources that can be found. They thought that the last Count didn’t name a successor but it was one of his few good deeds. I’ll tell you about Caius Snape later.

Severus and Scilti also made an alliance with my ancestors, they got to stay in the caves and mines but also become the official blacksmiths and traders of Brina. There is also a centaur herd that settled a few centuries after the death of Lord Severus at the other side of the river. Scilti beared two sons: Lord Cassius and Aiden Snape. Lord Cassius became the new master of Brina after his father’s death and Aiden Snape married into a Norman family that had immigrate in Great Britania. You must have heard of the Mal-fois (now Malfoy). It’s one of the few links that keeps peace between both families.

The manuscrits never say what happen to lordess Scilti, but there’s a legend that says that when a Snape Lord is in need of help he appears. But it’s just one of Brina’s many secrets.

Lord Balthus was the one of the few wizarding Lord to form an alliance with the Goblin (Darwin’s family for exemple). They built some of the finest safe of Gringotts but their best work are here in Brina’s underground, also called Dillion. It’s an underground village of Goblins, in fact very few human ever enter except for the Snape Lords. They manage the main vaults of the Snapes even if they have two vaults at Gringotts.

Lord Severus Endamion Snape fourth of the name, the grand-cousin of the actual Lord Severus Shay Sorley Snape, took part of the Grindelwald war. He was one of the head figures of the Family Council. His death has weakened the British Family Council to the point that they aren’t consulted anymore and today’s laws aren’t really legal. He had wanted the actual Lord as heir but due to his implication with Lord Voldemort and the family’s insistence, Lord Caius Stewart Snape the second was named. The two wars had eradicated the direct line, living Lord Caius little choice on his successor. That’s why Lord Severus Shay Sorley Snape the first is now master and Lord of Brina, Guardian of Dillion, Groundkeeper of Oscurian Forest.

A lot of the ancient Lords of Brina made history but I’ll tell you more later…

“Now what was your last name again, young man?”

“Longbottom, sir.”

“Longbottom… I’ve heard that name somewhere…”

The dwarf got up and climb a ladder, search for a few moment. Took a book and went to the table. He searched through pages.

“Ah, ah! Here it is: Michael Charles Longbottom, Apprentice to Lord Patrick Balthus Simon Snape from 1565 to 1570. Herbology and potion expert. Well, young man that is good news!”

“You mean one of my ancestors was here?”

“Yes, that’s what I just said. If you want I can research more about it’s stay, most Apprentice left a copy of their journal here.”

Neville smiled, this stay was getting more interesting. He thanked the little man. And started to asked about the Herbology section. Which Rumbleplinstin was happy to show him around. They were at the table again looking through previous Apprentice’s journals, when Darwin entered. Both dwarf and goblin glared at each other. Neville followed the Head butler out of the library to the dinning room.
