  Summary

  Severus Snape's father was never very smart. So when he commits a crime and is thrown in jail, Severus barely bats an eye. Then he comes up with an idea that just might turn his entire life around. He needs to get to Gringotts and talk to a Goblin or two first.

  Snape isn't going to be the Prince heir in this one, I promise.
