 A year passed since the Battle of Hogwarts, the school was rebuilt and a new generation was about to arrive in a matter of days. Minerva paced in her office.

"You will burn a hole in that rug Minerva, I was very fond of it." Chuckled Albus.

"We repaired all quarters, all but one. No one managed to breach through the wards, Albus."

"Did you try password?"

"We tried all possible passwords we could think of."

"Try with 'loyalty'"

"We did."

"Then I suggest you try 'friendship' or 'Lupin'."

"Lupin? Why would he have used Remus's name as a password?"

"Just give it a try Minerva, trust me."

She looked at Albus with annoyance but nodded and rushed out of the office. Half an hour later, she returned carrying two notebooks and bunch of letters.

"How did you know?"

"What are you planning to do?" Asked her Albus avoiding an answer.

"What I always planned to do, keep his quarters as they are. A monument to his bravery."

"Do you hear that my boy?" Albus turned to Snape's portrait, but his portrait remained motionless and quiet as always. "He is stubborn."

"It is entirely your fault, you should have told us what you planned."

"I did what I had to do, and he understood that."

"That is a matter of opinion." She huffed and opened the first letter. By the time, she finished all the letters Minerva was sobbing. "Oh, Albus!"

"What is it in those notebooks?" asked Albus almost absentmindedly

She looked at the portrait, reading the letters she forgot about the notebooks. Taking a first one, she opened it.

Application of improved Wolfsbane potion

Dedicated to

Remus Lupin

by

Severus Snape

(Potion Master at Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry, member of Order of Phoenix, known criminal and ex-Death Eater)

In hope that this research will see the light of the day and help all who suffer from the dark curse. Helped them in a similar way that helped my dear friend and colleague Remus Lupin who selflessly participated in this research.

She read both books, sniffling and sobbing, whipping tears.

"Did you know about this Albus?"

"I did."

"And you did not find it important enough to mention it to anyone?"

"No, I did not. What are you planning to do?"

"What should have been done a year ago, I am going to publish this under his name. That is the least I could do." She picked up the books and the letters.

"What are you going to do with the letters?"

"Give them to Andromeda, for Teddy. He deserves to know that his father had such a loyal and dedicated friend." Albus nodded approvingly.

Passing by Snape' portrait she paused "Uhhhhhhh you." fussed Minerva at the portrait and left the room.

"You see my boy, everything is as it supposed to be." smiled Albus.

But Snape's portrait stayed motionless.
