Chapter 14

While Alex slept Severus was away getting some things. He was determined to see his son's wishes come true, all of them and it was just more time he got to spend with his son. They were going to have to go the Muggle way because he knew his son hated portkeys and didn't like floo that much, not that he minded going the Muggle way.

Alex had passed out near the bonfire. He had more reason to celebrate than most, for Severus knew his son didn't expect to survive the war and, now he had, it was probably too much to take in. He sent a letter off to Professor McGonagall, now Headmistress McGonagall, whom had no idea. She had been woken up to fireworks going off, but somehow the news had not gotten to Hogwarts yet.

McGonagall practally shrieked all the way down from the headmistresses office, getting the other teachers awake and telling them to, "Get the students down to the great hall, the war is over and most of the higher year students are to thank for it. Get the younger years into the great hall, according to Severus he needs help bringing some of them back. Some died and most are drunk," she said. Her voice was stern but there was a twinkle of happiness in her eye that had not been seen since Lily and James had died.

But now she remembered it was not James she had been close to, it had been Severus and Lily. She wished that the memory charm had broken years ago so Alex could have had a family, but right now she was glad Alex knew. It was better knowing late than never. She had been watching them all year, they had gotten so close that they would die for each other. They completed each others sentences and it was more like a friendship than father son sometimes because Severus never raised his hand or voice at his son, no matter what.

They then got the students to the great hall and three teachers followed her to Hogsmeade, watching as the last of the dark lords body was burnt. Closing their eyes at the amount of dead bodies, they had not expected that. But the Aurors soon started apparating away with them. Most of them had been in the order. The students' bodies were taken to the hospital wing, dead and injured.

Mr. and Ms. Granger watched the news as it reported about owls flying all over the place. Most had never seen an owl at night never mind in broad day light and shooting stars, too. Also they saw funny looking people around town and they both realised at once what had happened. They had had their daughter for a year when this had first happened, but it was not till there daughter went into the wizarding world did they realise what had happened then. It was the day Harry Potter killed You know who. They knew because Hermione could never stop talking about it, not an in an obsessed way, but in a way you would talk about a friend and there accomplishments. Hermione had never stopped being proud of what Alex had done all those years ago. She had read the books, she knew more than anyone her age, even Alex, about the grip that the dark lord had on the wizarding world. And yes they knew about Alex being Harry Potter because Hermione/Rachel had given them a copy of the information.

All they could do was hope their little girl was all right. They may not be her parents biologically, but they were her parents. They had been there when she took her first steps, spoke her first words, lost her first tooth, as well as there to blow her candles out on her first cake. The list could go on.

And around noon a owl flapped to their home and they took the letter with trembling hands and opened it. They let out a breath they were holding. Their girl was ok and going to be fine and coming home for the summer.

Mum dad,

Everything is fine hereWe did it mum! We did it Alex was great out there he doesn't even know it I think I'm in love with him

I will tell him when school starts, I'm afraid he seems me only as a sister to go out with meHe has never dated anyone, well he has only kissed one person he didn't like it at all!

What If he likes men? I'm so confused please book us a holiday somewhere preferably hot I need a break a long break try and get it for a month at least

Rachel Hermione Granger Rockwood,

p.s I want my real name to be known but you brought me up so I will use both names from now on that will be my name Rachel Hermione Granger Rockwood. Love you lots bye

With a smile, Ms Granger went and got her purse with the check book in it and was out of the door with Mr. Granger hot on her heals. He already knew what his wife was doing. It was not long before they entered the travel agency and booked a holiday in Egypt. They had heard their daughter go on about how lucky her best friend had been to be able to go to Egypt.

Their holiday was booked a week from now so they could get a chance to clean their clothes as well as get everything they would need. Also so Hermione could get a decent sleep and they could get her clothes washed and dried. They also knew their daughter was now eighteen and none of her normal clothes fit her so they would be going shopping and get her some muggle clothes for her holiday.

Severus had changed since the memory charm had come off, not just in the way he acted towards his son. He no longer had his bat like cloaks and wore different colours, greens and blues mostly. He smiled all the time and told everyone who would listen that he was proud of his son. And he had all the reasons to be proud of his son.

Especially when their owls and newts had come through in their original names; Alex Severus Snape, Rachel Hermione Granger Rockwood, Daniel Ron Weasley Prewiett, Serena Ginny Weasley Prewiett, and Iris Luna Lovegood Evans. They were after all adopted by their parents, only Alex didn't add potter to his name even though he had both the Black and Potter money. All of them were rich beyond their wildest dreams, except Alex who had gotten his dream. A family, no matter how small, he had a family and for the first time in the wizarding world he felt happy.

They had gotten O's on everything. They had made their parents proud as well as their adoptive parents. They had beaten Merlin's, Dumbldore's, and Tom Marvolo Riddle's top scores. Especially when magic was involved, not even Merlin could have conjured a patronus at the age of thirteen.

It was soon after the final battle that people finally realise that they could talk freely about what Dumbldore had done. It was in the papers and everyone knew about what happened. Not only was Harry (which they were still calling him but eventually they started calling him Alex when they realised they were calling him by the wrong name a false name) getting sympathy letters, Severus Snape was too.

No one seemed to care that he used to be a death eater. He no longer bore the dark mark for the dark lord had died for good and the dark mark went with him. A red patch had stayed for days before it had finally faded and that was how Severus Snape liked it. He was just another war hero and Severus knew that his son was his saviour.
