A/N: Okay let me first state that I am in my last semester of college, so updates may not be consistent, for that I apologize in advance.
I do not own the HP universe… Please note this right now, I don't feel like mentioning this numerous times….
Sent by Fate is just the working title... I don't exactly like it, so it will more then likely change.
Suppose the war didn't end as it should have. Thus causing Fate to become involved. What if Fate decides to send someone back to fix things? What's the catch? Fate seriously screws with the laws of time and now someone finds themselves back in the time of the first war. Their job; fix the mistakes made by a certain "Leader of Light" Albus Dumbledore. Will said traveler succeed? Or will they be unable to change the events of the first war. This is a bit different than the other Fate/Death intervenes fanfics. I don't plan to give much away but there are some key points I want to point out.
This will be a time travel fic.
This will also be a soul bond fic.
I'm bringing James, and Lily back…
Sirius and Remus will not die.
There will be a new generation of Marauders.
As much as I love Tonks I don't know if I will have her with Remus yet. SORRY! Don't hate me….
Severus is allied with the Marauders
Dumbledore bashing, with some Weasley bashing…
I got some ideas for this (some not all.) from a fellow fic writer who wrote 'Came Out of the Darkness'. She has since put it on indefinite hiatus because her muse left her. I highly suggest you give it a read. It's stopped at about 60 chapters.
Now onto the short prologue…..

May 2nd, 1998
Location: Unknown/The In Between
He didn't know the outcome of the war; wasn't there to see if the Dark Lord had won, or if Pott- No! Lily's son had prevailed. He died before he was able to witness the Final Stand.
But, if he was dead… then did his thoughts not seem to be aware of that fact?
Ink black eyes snapped open and flicked around, seeing nothing but white.
"Ah, Severus Snape," a disembodied voice spoke. The man in question sat up, his chin length raven colored hair fell into his eyes.
"Who's there?" Severus called, "how do you know my name?"
"I know all," a hooded figure shimmered into view. "And while all know of me; few remember my true name. For now, all you need to know is that I am Fate.
"Fate?" Severus drawled slowly, "shouldn't there be three of you?"
"Yes, but my sisters currently are attending to other tasks."
"What are you doing here? Fate is, after all, unchangeable."
"While yes that is normally true, it seems there has been a colossal screw up in our plans," Fate said. "One that needs to be rectified.
"What does that have to do with me?" Severus asked, not sure he liked where this was going.
"We are giving you a chance to go back and fix your mistakes," Fate said.
"Wait MY mistakes? You said there was a screw up in YOUR plans," Severus said standing to face the hooded entity.
"By fixing your mistakes Severus, you would be fixing the timeline of events so things will go the way they are supposed to go," Fate explained.
"Meaning?" Severus drawled.
"The war didn't end as was foretold." Fate answered.
"The Dark Lord was victorious then," Severus concluded.
"Tom Marvolo Riddle, the self-proclaimed Lord Voldemort, has destroyed the world, if you consider that winning," Fate hissed.
"Send someone else, I did the job I was forced to do, and died doing it," Severus growled.
"You are the only one who has the memories required to fix what must be fixed," Fate stressed.
"What do you mean?" Severus snapped. "You are as insufferable as Granger!"
"You'll understand soon," The cryptic response caused him to sneer.
"When is this happening?"
"Now, good luck." And with that Severus Snape's world went dark for a second time.

December 31st, 1979
Location: Malfoy Manor
". . . Sev. . . SEVERUS!" Severus Snape tore his gaze from the flickering flames of the glowing fire. Turning his head, he met the ice blue eyes of Narcissa Malfoy. . . a pregnant Narcissa Malfoy, who was holding a fussing child.
"Cissy. . ." he hesitated unsure how to ask. "How. . . how far along are you?"
Narcissa raised one perfectly shaped eyebrow at the friend she considered a brother, "I'm nearly four months along. You know this. Now here, little Ren is fussy and needs you," she said passing him the fussing infant.
"I. . . uh. . . who?" Was Severus' eloquent response as he took the small fussing bundle. He looked down and gazed into dark blue eyes of the now calming baby.
"Your daughter Sev," Lucius Malfoy said as he entered the room behind his wife and placed a hand on her waist. "Don't tell me you've forgotten your own daughter.
Slowly the current date began to click into place. Fate had broken a bloody lot of time travel laws to put him here and now, just weeks before he would be condemning Lily Potter Nee Evans, his oldest friend to death. The only thing that remained fuzzy, but still stuck out by what Lucius said brought his whirling thoughts to a screeching halt.
"My What?!"
oOo
And there you have it; the prologue is complete. Please read and review.
