Author's note
This Snape is very not in character, he's morally grey, I know that but for the sake of the story, I have to write him as a kinder and less bullying type of guy. I also don't really know how to be as sarcastic as him so that's why he's like this. Sorry.
--------------------------
After about two hours, an owl from Hogwarts came flying into the sick room and dropped two letters onto the table next to Severus's bedside.
'That was quick.' Regulus commented.
'Open it.' Harry urged.
Dear Prof. Severus Snape,
I am very sorry about your recent situations. I have considered the decisions and have chose to hire a assistant for your use. Her name is Summer Addison, and I know that you do not like to work with incompetent people so I chose her, she received all 'Os' in her N.E.W.T.s exams and got the highest score of her year in Potions. She is very intellectual and I believe you would take a liking to Miss Addison.
Yours truly,
Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts, school of witchcraft and wizardry.
'Can I see?' Harry told Severus.
He obliged and Harry read over the letter.
'Does this mean you can go back to Hogwarts, Dad?'
'Yes, I think it would be a lot easier with someone else helping me.
'Hey, I also got a letter.' Ben strode over to the table, 'See it's addressed to me.'
Dear Mr. Benjamin Alden,
Regarding your letter for the application of being a teacher here in Hogwarts, school of witchcraft and wizardry, I am pleased to say that you have been accepted, we have been given very little time to decide. Therefore, I hope you will not disappoint. You mentioned in your letter that you are willing to teach any class available and I checked your qualifications which I must say are quite impressive. You will be teaching History of Magic since our last professor, Professor Binns had been urged to retired after he became a ghost. Please write if you any questions about the position. Your job starts tomorrow, on the 1st September and you will be flooing to Hogwarts. Or you might take the Hogwarts Express if you hope to do so.
Yours truly,
Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts, school of witchcraft and wizardry.
'Finally, Professor Binns is gone. No more falling asleep in History.'
'Yeah, I remember, he taught me before in History in Magic too when I was in Hogwarts. I was genuinely interested in the subject before he came and ruined it.'
'How old are you?' Harry asked.
'Thirty-one, why do you ask?'
'Just wanted to know. Dad is thirty-two right now. Did you two know each other? You were both in Slytherin.'
'Uhhh.'
'Yes, we did. We were acquaintances during our youth. We both had a love of potions. That is actually the reason why I haven't asked him to leave.' Severus half-lied.
'Mhm, yes, close acquaintances.' Ben/Regulus said, looking around.
'Cool. I can't wait to go back to Hogwarts now.'
'It's certainly going to be an interesting year.' Severus commented.
'No doubt about that.' Ben added.
Two days later, Severus allowed to go back home.
'Finally, freedom.' he took a deep breath, 'Come on, Harry, let's go home.'
'Okay. Bye, Ben, see you at Hogwarts.'
'Before you go, Severus, take this.' Ben handed a notebook to him.
'What's this?' Severus looked at it.
'You'll see. Bye now.' and he disapperated.
'Take my hand, Harry.' he gave him his hand with his other clutching the notebook and side-along apperated back to Dumbledore's family home.
Harry ran into his room and jumped on the king-sized bed. 'It's so good to be back.'
'I agree.'
'I'm gonna take a quick nap.'
'You do that.' Severus knew Harry hadn't been getting enough sleep recently, so he let him rest. He went to his study and opened the notebook Regulus gave to him.
Interesting, he thought. He started writing in it. Severus Snape, he randomly wrote, but then the words seemed to seep into the parchment.
Hello. The two words appeared on the notebook.
----------
What is this Severus wrote.
----------
A way for us to communicate, Sevy. The words came back in responce.
----------
Is that you writing on the other side, Regu, he quickly crossed out the word, Ben?
----------
Yeah, you don't have to worry about writing my name on the book though, no one except us can see the words.
----------
Where did you get this, Regulus?
----------
I just got two random notebooks and charmed them.
----------
Well, now we don't have to be worried about having people eavesdrop.
----------
Severus, school is going to start tomorrow.
----------
Correct.
----------
Can you accompany me to ride the Hogwarts Express?
----------
You were informed that you can floo there, right?
----------
Yeah, but I really want to ride it. Pretty please?
----------
I have noticed you have not matured since I last saw you.
----------
Come on. I know you love me. Now, will you ride the bloody train with me or not?
----------
Alright, alright. Insufferable git.
----------
Yayyyyyy. And I love you too, Sevy.
----------
Are you drunk?
----------
Maybe, maybe not, who knows?
