Chapter One – The Resurrection of Severus Snape
It has been 30 years since Harry Potter defeated the Dark Lord Voldemort. The wizarding world had 30 years of peace. Harry continued with his life, and set up his own family with Ginny Weasley. They had three children, James, Albus and Lily Potter. All three went to Hogwarts School of Wizardry. It had been 3 years since their youngest child, Lily, graduated.
However, the peace was short-lived. When Voldemort died, the Ministry had rounded up almost all of the deatheaters. Nonetheless, not all the deatheaters have been caught, and the remaining few have been trying for years and years to revive their most admired Lord Voldemort. 30 years later, they finally found the way. Because the Avada Kadavra curse had not been used on him, it was possible for them to use the darkest magic ever to raise him from his grave. They had combined his body with and what was left of his soul, using the Darkest Magic, and revived him. He was stronger than ever.
When Voldemort revived, he gathered the remaining supporters and recruited more new ones. Soon the peace of the Wizarding world was broken again. Many tried to fight the dark lord, and all failed. Once again, the wizard world was caught up in fear, distrust, and much blood has been shed.
It was obvious that the very first target of Voldemort would be the Potters. After all, Harry Potter was the one who finished him off 30 years ago. The family fled from their home and the parents put up all sorts of charms to protect the three children. However, the deatheaters and Lord Voldemort himself were so much stronger than before, it was not long before he sought them out himself and tried to kill them.
Young Lily Potter managed to escape with her brother Albus, bringing their gravely injured father into the Forbidden Forest, where it was hard for the deatheaters to find them. But it was not long before the deatheaters caught up on them, while Voldemort went after the other two Potters. Albus began his fight with them, bravely wanting to protect his little sister and father.
Harry was gravely injured, but he kept on walking, holding Lily's hand in his. "Where are you going daddy? You are badly injured, you shouldn't move so much!" Lily said, desperately trying to press onto the wounds with blood seeping into her father's shirt. "I need to get you safe; I need the help of an old friend." Harry said. Bewildered, Lily looked as her father bent down and picked something up from the grass. BOOM! One of the deatheaters casted a spell that nearly hit them. Lily took out her wand and started battling with them too, sending a string of spells towards them.
All these were oblivious to Harry. He was holding the resurrection stone, a look of determination on his face. "Please work," Harry whispered. He flipped the stone thrice, and muttered something in a foreign language. There was a heavy mist, and then a black figure appeared. A man stood in front of Harry, bewildered. He was dressed in all black, with a black cloak over his black clothes.
"Severus, the resurrection worked! I have researched for so long on how to fully resurrect a person to live. It appeared that the spell I cast on the stone really helped. But now, the stone is useless and have used up all its powers." Harry said, looking at the stone turning to dust.
"Harry Potter? Is that you?" Severus Snape, the black figured looked at Harry in confusion. Severus Snape had been dead during the war against Voldemort 30 years ago. In his memory, Harry was just a young teenager. And yet, standing before him was an adult Harry.
"Listen to me Severus, it has been 30 years since the defeat of Voldemort, but now he is back. He is back and he's hunting down my family. Please protect my daughter, bring her to Hogwarts, please protect Lily." Harry said and collapsed. Shocked, Severus caught him before he landed on the floor, and gently put him down.
"Daddy! Daddy!" Lily cried and ran to his side. "Listen to me Lily, Daddy has to go now, but you must live on no matter what. Promise me, Lily," Harry whispered. "No! Daddy please don't leave me, please don't go, there must be something we can do, some spell to heal you," Lily whimpered, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Let me try," Severus said, taking out his wand. "Vulnera Sanentur," he muttered, trying to heal the wounds. "It won't work, I've been poisoned." Harry said, and then, his eyes flicked from Severus to Lily, and then closed. "Daddy! Daddy! Noooo!" Lily cried, holding on to her father's lifeless form.
"Levicorpus!" screamed a deatheater. Severus blocked it and knocked him off with a spell of his own. "It is not safe here. We have to get to Hogwarts." He said to Lily, trying to get her away from her dead father. "We can't just leave him here, the deatheaters, they will torture his body even though he is dead." She sobbed. Severus's usual annoyance came back. "Oh alright, put him on my back," he snapped. With Harry on his back, Severus led the way from the Forbidden Forest to Hagrid's hut just outside the school.
After knocking desperately, Hagrid opened the door cautiously holding his umbrella. "Good lord! Is that you Snape?" he cried, open-eyed. "Yes it's me, long story, let us in first, would you?" Severus snapped. Hagrid then caught sight of Harry on his back, and young Lily still tearing slightly standing behind Severus. "Come in come in!" he exclaimed, opening the door wider.
"Hagrid! Daddy's dead, Voldemort poisoned him. He's dead!" Lily whispered, tears still flowing down her face. Hagrid looked as Severus gently put the body down. He looked as if he was going to cry as well, but held himself together for Lily's sake. "There there Lily, you've got to stop crying now. We will give him a grand burial when this is all over. Tell me, where is the rest of your family?" Hagrid said, trying to keep his voice from shaking. Severus slipped out to put enchantments all over Hagrid's hut. "Mummy and James were still at the safe house when Dad took my hand and Albus hands and disapparated. Voldemort was there, they wouldn't have stood a chance. At the forbidden forest, Albus was fighting with deatheaters and I saw him fell off a cliff. I'm the only one left," Lily sobbed.
"Then we have to protect you well. Voldemort is obviously after every Potter. When the sun rises, we will bring you into Hogwarts, it is safe there. Headmaster McGonagall will take care of you." Hagrid said, hugging the young girl.
"I think it would be safe here for tonight. They would not be able to break the enchantments so easily," Severus said, emerging back into the hut. Quietly, he explained what Harry had done to resurrect him, and what he had said to him. He looked at Lily and said, "You may not know who I am, but…" "Oh I know all about you, Professor Snape, Dad told us all about how brave you were, acting like a traitor but was actually protecting him. My brother was named after you, Albus Severus Potter." Lily cut him off.
Severus was stunned. He and Harry had not exactly got along well Harry attended his classes at Hogwarts. In fact, he was almost certain that Harry loathed him. To know that Harry had actually told his children about him and even named his son after him, it was very shocking to him. "I am no longer a Professor at Hogwarts, you can just call me Severus." He replied.
Hagrid set Harry's body on his bed and covered him respectfully with a blanket. Lily snuggled close to the fire, wrapping herself in another blanket. She soon fell fast asleep in exhaustion. Hagrid and Severus sat awkwardly at the table, keeping watch for deatheaters. In the long hours of the night Hagrid filled him in on how the war had ended, with Harry defeating Voldemort, who was inevitably killed by his own wand which actually belonged to Harry. He then went on to tell him how Harry had gone on with his life, marrying Ginny Weasley and having three children. Hermione and Ron, his two best friends, had married each other and had two children of their own as well. Hagrid had kept a close friendship with the three best friends, but when word came that Voldemort revived, Harry told Hagrid that they are going to hide at a safehouse where no one knew. With no one knowing, no one could possibly betray them. However, Voldemort had managed to find them, being stronger than ever. The only way to kill him now, is to use the Avada Kedavra curse, after being revived by Dark Magic.
