Hermione slipped through the floo and smiled. "I think the burden can be lifted." She announced.

Remus looked up from his paper and frowned. "What do you mean?"

"Snape! I have the counter-potion."

"You found out what he was hit with?" Remus asked, face paling slowly.

"Well, we made the potion and gave it to Umbridge. Once she was kicked from the school, we gave the Ministry a copy of what we thought might have been the counter-potion. It worked! We can fix Snape so you don't have to watch him anymore!" Hermione said with a grin.

"Hermione, I want to." Remus stood swiftly, grabbing her shoulders. "I don't want to lose him."

"You enjoy watching over Professor Snape?" She asked softly.

"I always have wanted to be a father," Remus said softly. "I, want to help him too. We hurt him so much when we were younger. I see a chance for redemption, a chance to save him. To be honest, I did want to know what he thought as a child. Overall, Severus has been a gift, not a burden in the slightest." Remus slowly reached for the potion, resting his hand over her's.

"What should I do with it?" Hermione asked.

"I don't care. Just please, do not give it to Severus." Remus said, eyes glazing with unshed tears.

The young witch looked at the potion vial and frowned. She slipped it in her pocket with a soft sigh.

"Thank you." Remus pulled her into a tight hug.

"Hopefully, he will be a better man," Hermoine said softly.

"I have a feeling he was always a good man. I just believe the situation made him look like a villain." Remus chuckled. "I suppose that is why he wears such a large cloak."

Dear Father,

I was sorted into Ravenclaw! I know you were in Gryffindor and Mum was in Hufflepuff, no scratch that I guess that makes sense. So anyway, I have two dorm mates instead of three. They are very kind. Supposedly they were watching me in potions and saw how good I was. They sometimes call me Potion Master. It had only been a week!

How is Teddy? I know four-year-olds are quite rambunctious. Maybe he will be sorted in Hufflepuff like Mum was. Or maybe Slytherin, so we can have one Lupin in each house. That would be funny. It is a shame that I will more than likely graduate before he even attends here. I have to go now, I have classes to excel in!

~Love Severus

Severus rolled up the parchment and tied it to the screech owl's leg. "Send it to Dad okay, Archimedes?"

The owl hooted and rubbed Severus's face with its own before flying off. Severus smiled and watched it leave. When he turned around, there stood a few Slytherin children.

"Oh, Hello... How can I help you?" Severus asked.

"So is it true you were named after Severus Snape?" He asked.

"Yeah, that's what my dad said. Why?"

"Why?" The child looked exasperated. "He was only the coolest Head of House ever! He died a spy to the Dark Lord, he was never found, though, like a good spy! He also stood up for every Slytherin, because they were super bullied!" Severus listened to the child ramble on and on about the man.

Severus smiled when the boy began to exclaim about his father being one of his students when he started teaching. "He told my dad he was stupid! But that made my dad better!"

Severus Lupin laughed at a joke the old Professor used to tell. "Sounds like a great guy really."
