"According from what I heard from Minerva this morning; Dumbledore is going to be gone until tomorrow so we can search the room without worrying about him finding out about the horcruxes."
"What time would you like us to be there?" Narcissa asked.
"I think at ten would be fine. The sixth and seventh year students will still be about, but most of the younger students will be in their houses."
"Alright, Severus. We will floo to Lily's quarters shortly before ten," Lucius confirmed.
Severus sent a note to Lily and charmed it so only she could read it. It was similar to the ones used at the Ministry. His floo sounded and he turned to see Filius' head sitting in the green flames. "Filius, what can I do for you?"
"Minerva has called a Heads of House meeting for 3:30 today, Severus in Minerva's office."
"Has something happened?"
"No. We are just going to firm up the plans for the tours of the other houses that we discussed in the fall. Minerva thought it was best to discuss it…"
"When the headmaster is not around," Severus finished for him. "I will see you and the others at 3:30 then."
His morning classes went fast and after first year Potions with the Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs finished, Severus called, "Mr. Evans-Snape, please remain." He waited until all the other children had left the room before he spoke again.
"Was there something wrong with Neville's and my potion, Dad?" Harry asked anxiously. He still showed occasional signs of self-doubt from his years with the Dursley's.
"No Harry, your potion was excellent as usual. You must have inherited your mother's talent in Potions."
"Well, I didn't inherit her talent for Charms, Dad," Harry replied grinning. "That's one of the subjects I'm pants at."
Severus grinned too. "If the truth be known, I wasn't all that great at either Transfiguration or Charms. If it wasn't for your Aunt Cissa and your mother tutoring me; I probably would have ended up with an Acceptable rather than an Exceeds."
"We can't be good at everything I guess, but maybe Percy's an exception to that rule though."
"I agree that Mr. Weasley is an outstanding student," Severus replied. "I have a meeting with the other heads of house at 3:30 today, but I should be back in my quarters by 4:30 I would think."
"Okay, Dad. I'll see you at lunch."
When his last class of the day was over, Severus made his way to Minerva's office. He was the last to arrive. He took the cup of tea and one of Minerva's Scottish biscuits and sat down.
"I thought this would be a good time to discuss opening our houses for visits as we had mentioned wanting to do last fall. I thought we could use all of May for that and that give each of our houses a week of their own for tours, introductions, and such."
"Yes, Albus is always talking about house unity and everybody joining against You-Know-Who, but he's taken no action to encourage it," Filius complained.
"I will take the first week in May," Severus volunteered. He knew because Slytherin House had always been so secretive in that even the entrance was invisible until you gave the password, that was a major reason for all the suspicion that nefarious doings were going on behind its walls.
"I'll take the second week," Pomona decided.
"And I'll take the week after Pomona," Filius said.
"And Gryffindor will be the last week then," Minerva agreed. She knew it would take that long to get some of her house into the right frame of mind.
They talked next about the upcoming OWLs and NEWTs and who would proctor the written portion of the exams.
When Severus returned to his quarters, he found Harry and his friends studying and helping each other with the subjects they weren't strong in. He saw that Blinky had brought them a pitcher of pumpkin juice and an array of fruit snacks to munch on while they studied. He was glad Blinky saw the need to spare them the rich, sweet snacks the other elves were so found of.
"Hi Dad," Harry said looking up. We're studying for our tests this week."
"Good. I do wish all the students would follow your example and not put off studying until the night before their tests. If any of you need any help with Potions; I will be in my lab."Okay, Dad, but I think we're all good on Potions."
Severus nodded and went into his lab to check on the potion he was brewing for Alice and Frank. He looked into his cauldron, studying the contents carefully. Another 24 hours and it could be given to Alice and Frank. He hoped for all the Longbottom's sake that it worked.
After dinner, Severus returned to his quarters and graded essays until 9:30 and then flooed to Lily's quarters.
"Sev, I've decided that once we've found the Ravenclaw diadem; I'm going to pay Petunia a long overdue visit."
"I will come with you as Harry is my son now and she needs to explain to me why she and Vernon treated him so miserably. Not that there is any excuse for their behavior."
"I suspect she's going to be shaking in her shoes to see me not only because she thought I was dead, but because she knows I'll hex her and Vernon to China and back for the way they treated Harry."
"I will be glad to offer you my assistance with that," Severus replied with a grin.
A few minutes before ten, the floo sounded and Lucius and Narcissa stepped out. They quietly made their way to the 7th floor and to the wall opposite the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy.
Severus walked up and down the hallway three timed in front of the blank wall, silently asking to be shown the room where all things are hidden.
When the ornate double doors suddenly appeared, he was surprised even though he never doubted Blinky's information.
Lucius was the first to pull open one of the doors. Narcissa peered around him, into the room and exclaimed, "Merlin's hat! It will take us years to find the diadem if its in here."
