agreed as they stood outside the idyllic town house of Wintergrasps north of Boston. An old house-elf opened the door and let in it in a large hall, adorned the wide spiral staircase, complete with strange devices war. Einige Zeiger schlugen aus, deren Skala Hermine nichts sagte und ständig fuhr Obst das Gelände rauf und runter. „Guten Abend, ich freue mich sehr sie zu sehen“, begrüßte sie Wintergrasp und bat sie, ihm in den Salon zu folgen.
„Bitte entschuldigen sie das Durcheinander“, sagte er, „aber mein Sohn arbeitet bereits seit Monaten an einer neuen Erfindung. Er ist überaus begabt“, fügte er voller Stolz hinzu. Hermine, Severus und Draco setzten sich auf die ihnen zugewiesenen Plätze, als ein Junge von knappen 15 Jahren ins Zimmer geflitzt kam und Platz nahm.
"You're too late," warned him Wintergrasp. "Forgive me father, I wanted to record the latest test results," replied the boy. "This is my son Alphonso," he introduced the boy, "And that is Severus Snape, his lovely wife and a distant relative worth of your mother, Draco Malfoy."
Alphonso had observed the other two did not . His gaze was still on Severus. "Professor Severus Snape?" Inquired Alphonso. Severus nodded cautiously. "Father he is. This is the man! This is the man added that of the bearded wizard spoken in my bathtub. "said the boy had already risen from his seat. "Only to be eaten! What's that for a consultation? Did I like this brought up? "There was Wintergrasp to his son. The boy sat down again, trying not his excitement and impatience to hide.
Severus other hand, had tried hard to give his surprise and curiosity to hide. Dumbledore had with the young Wintergrasp therefore already made contact. He would have liked to chat on the spot with the boy. What had Dumbledore only intended it. Was this really be serious? Lay all your fate in the hands of a teenager growing up?
The dinner was very quiet. Mr. Wintergrasp tried several times to get a conversation going, but the others present were their answers mostly brief and the impatience that filled the room, was hardly to be overlooked.
"Maybe we should wait a bit with the tea and the meal only once let a little slump," suggested Wintergrasp when they were ready and had cleared the house-elf the table. "I would like to know our guests "Show," said Alphonso, and looked inquiringly at his father. "Go ahead," said Wintergrasp and nodded in agreement.
Alphonso was instantly on his feet and disappeared from the Salon. Somewhat uncertain, the three were finally behind him. They followed him into the top floor, where the peculiar construction continued to led to a laboratory in which Alphonso was waiting for them on and they enter excitedly waved as they passed the room.
"So you had contact with Albus Dumbledore?" Asked Severus as they entered the lab. "Oh yes," he assured Alphonso, "Prof. Dumbledore has a few months ago contacted me. A fascinating man and the method by which he ... "Alphonso broke off when he saw Severus' impatient glance.
"I know of their situation," he finally said, "and I've had since my first contact on a solution. To be honest, I am already able to send some items in the future, there are currently only some minor difficulties. "
" If they see it? "he asked as he noted that the view of his had changed compared with impatience of curiosity and surprise. "Well, I've already tested it on some inanimate objects," continued Alphonso, "but at best they make an impression. I am a pear to demonstrate it. "He put the pear in a bowl that was attached to the end of the strange device. "Come with me," he said, and went ahead. They followed the device in the hallway. "To pass the time forward, the object must pass through certain magical energy fields in a certain order and a certain speed. Once the last Energy field was happening, our pear makes a leap in time forward, "he said.
They were the stairs went down to the railing further fastened to the rail on which the shell was also some other instruments hanging. "I set the time of one minute," said Alphonso and pressed a lever that had set up the dish in the laboratory in motion. The energy fields formed along the rail and illuminated in different colors. The shell whistled at a rapid pace through it and came with a sudden impact to stand before them. The bulb inside was gone.
They waited exactly one minute, as they revealed a large clock on the railing, then dipped the pears again, but she did not look quite the same again. She had assumed a peculiar form, the seeds were almost all outside and was deformed indefinable.
"Well, this little problem I'm still working," he said, embarrassed, horrified at the face expression of the three. At the word, small 'Severus raised an eyebrow and looked at the boy skeptical. "How long will they need to solve?", He wanted to do with him.
Alphonso thought short and scratched, while his shaggy head. "I do not know," admitted Alphonso, "I suspect it is a form of Zersplinterns, similar to the Apparition, but I can not get behind the cause."

"Should we really put our hope in this child?" asked Severus as he and Hermione entered her bedroom and sat on the bed. Hermione was behind him, climbed on the bed and put his hands on his shoulders empowering. "We will probably be left with no choice," she said. Severus turned and gave her a little push and let it gently fall back on the soft pillow, then he bent over her and kissed her demanding. He kissed down her neck, distributed soft kisses on her cleavage and gently ran his hand over her round belly, and then the little creature reacts immediately inside and inside pushed against the abdominal wall.
It was an amazing feeling to feel the movements inside them and to know that there grew a part of him. No matter how many nerves also cost him some days to watch this little creature, he to listen to him every time certain quiet again. A ring at the door she tore both back from their rest. When it rang again several times, Severus decided to go himself to the door.
He opened a nondescript middle-aged man, who bowed politely to him and he finally wordlessly handed a letter. "Who was that?" Asked Hermione, who gazed at him from the stairs. "A messenger," replied Severus and accompanied her up again.
He had opened the letter and began reading it, while Hermione mitlas of the page.
Dear Mr. Snape,
I know that they blame for Duncan Lennox 'are death. I found his body, and there also a chain, at the end hung a ring is engraved on which the name of Snape. If they do not want anyone to know of our little secret, I handed it ¹ 1000 guineas. As far as I've heard, they have delivered in the short time here too much prestige. drawn

Hermione was very pale and Severus sat still. "He really can not but ask," she said at last stunned. "Yes, he can and he does," confirmed her Severus. "Yes, but it was self-defense. Lennox had yet attacked Lavender. "" Yes, but no one knows that, "Severus said what they knew already and admit not only wanted," This is my word against his and he has proof. " At that moment, his hand went to his chest, where the chain was usually. He had noticed a while ago, that he must have lost it somewhere, but he did not know where.
"What should we do?" she asked shakily. Severus thought for a while. "So much money we have not," he finally said, "I will try to stall him somehow, until then we must wonder boy found a way to send us back."

came in. An owl flew while they were all sitting at the breakfast table. She dropped the letter into Severus' lap, grabbed a piece of bread and disappeared. The letter was from Alphonso. For over two weeks ago, the young man barricaded in his home and nothing can be heard from again. This was the first time that it was news again. Severus glanced over the letter hastily, with his face visibly relaxed and even a short flash was visible in his eyes.
"He has done it," he said finally around to the curious faces waiting for him, "He has actually done it. However, you can not travel in your state, "he added, looking at Hermione and Lavender," we have to wait until the children are there. "
These were excellent news. Encouraged by their euphoria, Hermione was finally dissuaded not expect to see again in the poor-house. Only the fact that Dr. Fand, she and the child would look up, let give Severus. It would not be long before the child would come soon, they could be clearly felt. Two, maybe three weeks ago, estimated Fander. In recent weeks, the pregnancy was clearly apparent. She could not walk long, and quickly became tired, but she went to the poor house yet so often as possible. Even if it was a little more help, she enjoyed it, to converse with Fander. On the way back, they would still pass with Mr. Burton and pick up their freshly sealed wands, she remembered.
Like the last days, she Ginny had accompanied today. It was a very cold and cloudy day. The thick, gray blanket in the sky was hardly a ray of sunshine. They wanted to go straight to the street when a black carriage stopped in front of them and opened the door of an unassuming man. "Excuse me, can you help me? I fear my coachman has lost its way, "he said. Hermione walked up to the stranger, but before she could say anything, he had grabbed her roughly by the arm and rumgerissen. From a pocket he pulled a long knife and held it to her throat moved. "Climb in, or I'll slit on", he prevailed on Ginny, but the initial fear, but without further ado, then pulled even with Hermione in the carriage and they drove off.
"Apparently her husband his freedom not 1000 guineas worth," he said, "Well then let's see how much his life of his wife and unborn child is worth."
¹ The guinea Engl. Guinea, a gold coin until 1816 when British currency was until it was replaced by the pound sterling. It was named after the region of Guinea from which a large part of the character came to use gold.
