Chapter Five- Going Under
Snape wrapped his arms around Amelia and tightly hugged her. “Let’s leave together.”
Amelia smiled and hugged back. “Yes. Let’s go.”
!!
Umbridge stormed through the castle, Ministry members behind her. “First those bloody children leave me to be killed by centaurs, and now that damn Snape and his little Death Eater whore! Ugh! This time she’ll go to Azkaban and he’ll be right next to her! No memory erasing this time!”
The group burst into the Potions dungeon. “Amelia Lochlin! This is the day I will finally put you where you belong!”
Amelia broke away from her hug with Snape and gave a light laugh. “I escaped the first time and don’t think I can’t escape again. I have gotten much stronger.”
Umbridge pulled her wand from her robe and waved it. “Petrificus totalus!”
“Protego!” Amelia waved her own wand and blocked the spell. “I have no desire to go to Azkaban for a crime I did not commit, and I refuse to lose my precious memories again.” She took Snape’s hand. “Lumos helios!”
A blinding light filled the room and when it dimmed, the two adults were gone.
!!
Amelia and Snape were walking along a small neighborhood sidewalk. She was tightly holding his hand as they approached a house.
“This is my parents’ house. Leave the explanation to me,” she told him.
Snape gave a nod as they walked to the front door. He felt like a teenage again but, of course, with Amelia at his side, he didn’t care. He watched Amelia knock on the door.
After a few minutes, an older woman opened the door. Her look of panic on her face calmed a little when she saw it was her daughter, but she was curious about the man beside her. “Amelia?! It’s one in the morning! What’s wrong?!”
Amelia gulped. “C-can we come in, mum?”
The woman opened the door wider and allowed them entry. The three sat in the living room, after Amelia’s mother made coffee.
“What’s wrong, Amelia?” he mother asked but before Amelia could answer her mother blurted out, “You’re pregnant?!”
Amelia shook her head. “No, mum, I’m not pregnant.” She gave a slight laugh. She cleared her throat then spoke again. “I’m in trouble.” Snape could feel Amelia gripping his hand tightly.
“W-what kind of trouble?” he mother stuttered.
So, Amelia told her mother everything, about the memories, Dumbledore’s Army, the Ministry, and about how she was falsely accused of a horrible crime.
The old woman rubbed her forehead. So much information in so little time. “A-Amelia…what are you going to do?”
“Well, we’re going to hide out in my house until everything cools down.”
Snape butted in, “Your house. Isn’t that a little…obvious?”
Amelia nodded. “So obvious, it’s the last place they’ll look…and by the time they find us, I’ll be ready to fight them.”
“And I’ll be there to help you.” He brought her hand up to his lips and gave it a light kiss, bringing a smile to his love’s face.”
The gesture brought a smile to the old woman’s face as well. “This man…the man from your dreams…is he your true love?”
Her daughter laughed, a blush rising to her cheeks, something that had not happened since she was a teenager. “I believe it.” She looked at Snape who gave a simple smile. She was always the only one he’d ever smile for.
!!
Amelia and Snape lived in the serenity of the Muggle Community Amelia had always lived in for many weeks. They would act as normal Muggles out in public but when they were at home, or in the company of Amelia’s parents, they used their magic as they wished, but very carefully. One mistake and the Ministry would find them in a heartbeat.
Snape wondered what was happening at Hogwarts in his absence. He wondered if Dumbledore was still hiding from the Ministry like them, or if peace and true order was restored to the school. He also wondered what was happening to Harry. Things were pretty crazy before he had left. A mere few hours before the ‘escape’, Umbridge ordered him to use a truth serum on Harry to find out where Dumbledore was hiding, a secret no one, not even Harry knew.
The potions teacher thanked his lucky stars he left that place before something bad happened to him and Amelia.
He pondered everything as he stared at the ceiling, in the comfort of the large bed. Everything had not been the fairytale everyone would hope for but he was happy and he would never change how everything pieced together. This was his fairytale and no one was going to take it away again.
“What are you thinking about?” he heard Amelia’s tired voice ask.
He looked down to her and gave a soft grin. “Everything.”
She gave a soft sleepy giggle. “Am I part of everything?” She watched him laugh too. She cuddled closer to him and laid her head on his chest. “Everything is perfect.” She shut her eyes and listened to his steady heartbeat. She could feel in her own chest, her heart matching the beat of his. She truly was his true love.
!!
After getting ready for the day, the two sat down for a peaceful breakfast. The peace, however, hit a bump when a smoky gray owl flew through the window and placed a letter on the table in front of Severus.
Amelia stared at it. “Who…who is it from?” she asked, a little scared of who might have sent it.
The male took the letter in his hands and looked at the front of it. It said; “To Severus Snape, From Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.”
“Looks to me like Dumbledore is back at the school.” He had to grin, it was something to be happy about.
Amelia smiled. “Open it! It has to be good news!!” She stood from the table and went to get more coffee.
Severus’s fingers slowly ripped open the seal of the envelope and pulled out a folded piece of parchment. He took a deep breath as he unfolded the letter and began to read.
“Mr. Severus Snape, I am glad to tell you that the Ministry is finally out of Hogwarts, thanks to Harry Potter and his friends. They traveled to the Ministry and battled He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named and his Death Eaters with the help of the Order of the Phoenix. Sadly, we did lose Sirius Black in the battle. The loss has affected all of us but we are ending the year with the more strength than we’ve ever had. Onto other matters, I wish to give you and Ms. Lochlin your jobs back. I hope you accept. Sincerely, Albus Dumbledore.”
“That fool Black, I always knew he was going to get killed,” Snape mumbled. He sighed and spoke louder for her to hear, “Well, do you want to go back to Hogwarts and take your job back?” he asked.
It took her a small minute but she was able to answer. To his surprise, she shook her head. “I’d rather not go back. Umbridge is a mad woman, and I know, even if she didn’t work for the Ministry, she would come after me to finish the job. It’s best I stay hidden.”
“At Hogwarts, you’ll be safe.”
“I’ll never be safe from those who wish to kill me, love. You can go back. I’ll always be here, waiting for you to come home on holiday breaks.” She gave a sweet smile. “Plus, the stress of school and the chances of getting hurt teaching are not good for the newcomer.” She placed her hands on her stomach and closed her eyes.
He stood up from the table, placing the letter down, and walked to her, his hands replacing hers on her stomach. “I understand. The new Snape needs to be safe all the time and so does my Amelia.” He stood up straight and gave his love a peck on the lips. “I love you.”
“I love you too, Severus.”
!!
As Severus entered the Great Hall, he looked around at the students enjoying the end of the year feast. No one knew what had happened to him over the time he was gone but they didn’t really care. Not many students cared for him.
His eye caught on Harry sitting in the middle of Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. He walked to him and told him, “Though Black was a pompous ass during our school years, he didn’t deserve to be killed in the way he was.”
Harry looked at his teacher and nodded. “Thank you, professor. I’m glad you and Miss Lochlin, hm excuse me, Mrs. Snape are happy together. Congratulations to the both of you for her new stomachache.” He smiled.
Severus gave a chuckle. So, not only did Harry see Severus and Amelia’s past memories, he saw the new ones they made. “Thank you, Potter. Enjoy your dinner and I look forward to having you in Potions next year.” He proceeded to the professor table to enjoy his own dinner. Hermione and Ron questioned their friend about what him and their teacher were talking about.
Severus took a glance at Dumbledore and gave a nod. Dumbledore smile and nodded back.
Severus’s life was back together. He, secretly, was the happiest person in the world.
Now the Long Lost Memory was lost no more.
