2 Become 1 - Snape (complete)

"The..what?" Severus asked ready pass out from shock
"You didn't know? well it is very early days, she's probably still unaware of it herself" Poppy explained
And then she was gone.

'Severus couldn't get his head around it at all, but he was happy about the news
He sprung up from his chair and placed a hand on Mya's stomach
He couldn't stop smiling, and that was a rarity

Albus arrived and dropped his gaze to Severus' hand, he raised an eyebrow
"I will not ask any questions Severus" he smiled trying to disguise the worry
"Albus, she is going to be fine, when she wakes up." Severus smiled
"That's great news, I am so happy to hear this" the old man beamed, his blue eyes twinkling through his half moon spectacles
"There is an issue however Albus, Fred Weasley has killed Laurence Taylor and..." Severus started
"Severus, I'm already aware. Do you think I wouldn't ask questions when a quivering wreck came into my office? The question is how are we going to deal with this, I have to report this"
"Tell them I did it" Severus insisted
"Lie? Do you know what you are saying Severus? Because I think you need some sleep" Albus
Scolded
"He saved her Albus, I owe him my life.." Severus tried to explain
"And I think Miss Taylor needs you around now more than ever does she not?" Albus turned on his heel and left
He knew, he always knew

Dumbledore called Arthur and Molly Weasley to his office
Fred and George were there to, and Minerva, Albus decided to keep Ron and Ginny out of the matter
"Arthur, Molly! It's lovely to see you both, I just wish it could be under different circumstances"
Dumbledore smiled sadly
"What have you two done now!" Molly screamed at the twins
"No, Molly, this isn't one of their pranks" Minerva spoke
Molly looked at Minerva and then at Albus rather perplexed
"Arthur... Fred has used an unforgivable curse, so I needed to inform you, it was the killing curse" Molly looked at Fred unable to speak
"Albus, I don't understand this, Fred would never do such a thing" Arthur was infuriated by the accusation
"He was saving the life of his closest friend, her father was trying to drown her. You could actually say Fred is a hero" Minerva told Arthur
Molly's worried face softened as did Arthur's

"I had to cast the spell or he would have cast it on me, he already tortured me with crucio"  Fred explained.
"How do I report my own son to the ministry? He will be tried and put in Azkaban...what should I do Albus?" Arthur panicked
"It was self defence Arthur, surely that will make a difference?" Dumbledore wondered
"Possibly, but I doubt it, not to mention how much damage this is all going to do to my career" Arthur told Albus sadly
"That's hardly the important factor here" Molly raged
"It is if I want to put food on the table Molly!" Arthur sighed
"Right now, we don't do or say anything. There is someone I need to speak to, someone who could possibly offer some assistance on the matter" Dumbledore beamed at his own idea
"So we just wait for now, carry on as usual?"
"Yes Molly, yes that's exactly what we do. now, when I have news i will contact you"

Dumbledore left his class in Search of Severus he knew exactly where he would be, and he told Minerva to go and get Harry Potter.
