A/N: hello everyone! I'm back again with a new story, this one being a multi-chap! (hoora!) as I have said in my first fic I plan to continue it. If you haven't read my first fic that's alright it can stand alone as well as this one. Some explanation is at the end of the story be sure to read it just to keep things straight. Enjoy reading!

Usual disclaimers apply.


Hermione's POV

We won. The dark lord is dead and the light has triumph once again. But the war has left many casualties, many mourns the loss of their love ones, many children orphaned by the war.

The Weasleys loss their son Fred, Teddy Lupin loss his parents just like Harry. And as the dead are all being accounted for, I realize that we were missing one person. The man who gave the means to end this war, whose bravery was unsung and whose intelligence I admired. Professor Snape's body is still in the shack covered in his own blood. I went to Harry and Ron to tell them my plan.

"Harry I need to go back to the shack" I said

"Let's go together, we need to give him a proper burial one that he truly deserves" Harry said

"No I'll go your needed here and Ron your family needs you" I said with a sad voice

"Alright be careful, there might still be rouge death eaters" Ron said

And as I went outside the gate I tried not to cry for the man who I knew at one time I had loved.

Normal POV

There was a sudden force of magic inside the shack and a boy emerged from the shadow. His eyes full of determination. He has only one mission and that is to save this man.

Scanning the area making sure nobody is around he made his way to Severus' body. The blood was still fresh and his body is still warm there was no sign of life in his eyes only a deep pit of blackness. But he knew that this man was still alive but only for a short period of time he had to act quickly. The boy's dark eyes showed sadness. 'how can you let this happen' he thought. 'Never mind I need to move quickly every minute counts'

And with that in mind he set off in reviving the potion's master. A spell here, a potion there and a huge quantity of magic later.

Severus' POV

After what seemed like an eternity I started to stir, it's as if I was waking up on a peculiar dream. My vision was still hazy but I knew someone was with me, I can feel strong magic circulating in the room. 'What was the last thing I remember' I thought. Ah yes, I fled Hogwarts and was summoned by the dark lord. I was attacked by Nagini and I gave Potter my memories, and then darkness. I don't know how long I passed out but what I do know is that I was alive. Death couldn't even claim me was I really that unlikeable?

I tried to sit up and was surprised when a hand touched my back.

"Careful there Professor, wouldn't want to waste my hard work by straining yourself there" said the voice

I looked to my left and was surprised again. A boy probably the same age as Potter but I never saw him before. He had dark hair reaching to his neck and black eyes. He wore the usual Hogwarts uniform but there was no seal.

"Who are you?" I said in my commanding voice but only succeeded in saying it in a whisper

The boy looked me in the eye and said "Does it really matter?" in a jokingly manner and with one raised eyebrow

"Yes!" I said "I demand to know who you are and why did you save me."

"Simple really, I had too."

"Why?" Losing my patience with the boy

"And I thought Mother was the one who always had a question." He said "guess not" he looked at me and saw I was about to lash out again.

"If you don't-" but the boy cut me off "you'll do what? Hex me?"

I started to get up but felt too weak probably because of blood loss. I decided to ignore the boy but he continued to stare at me. Deciding there was no point in getting up in the state I'm in I leaned to the wall behind me, that's when I realize my clothes are not soaked in blood particularly my blood.

"What did you do boy?"

"I healed you, I cleaned your wound and I cleaned your clothes. Not bad eh" He smiled

"I have no time to play games! There's a war outside-" I bellowed but finds it too hard speak

"You should give yourself a minute or so before speaking, I worked hard to heal those wounds" the boy said sounding hurt and then added "the war's finished, Harry Potter won the dark lord is dead and you're alive"

I felt my jaw open to speak but no words came. The thought of the dark lord dead was bliss the war has ended and I am free of my chains. The boy saw this reaction and his eyes softened "Yes you're free, free to live whatever life you want. Potter made sure your name is clear in front of the dark lord no less."

"So everyone knows my past?"I said incredulously shaken from my stupor

"Unfortunately yes, But in regards to that they thought you were dead"

I sigh exasperated by the boy's antics and growing tired of his cheek. "I will ask you one last time boy, who are you?"

Finally the boy grew serious and looked straight into my eyes "you really want to know?" he asked dead serious "fine, no use hiding it anyway you'll know soon enough. Better listen carefully sir, I won't repeat myself."

"Professor Severus Snape, My name is Sebastian Severus Snape I am your son in the future. I came here on the mission to save you from death"

There was a tense silence for a long time neither of us breaking eye contact. I know he can see the shock in my face, I tried to school my feature but it seems impossible at the moment. It seems the boy knew I didn't believe him, sighing he reached into his robes and fished an object. Bringing his hand in front of me he showed me his evidence. In his palm was a time-turner.


A/N: Phew! That was long.. Anyway the timing might confuse you:

Hermione's POV is after the war

Normal POV is shortly after the trio left Snape. Just enough time to save him.

Snape's POV is shortly after the war has ended.

Read and Review please it goes a long way. I want to know if I should continue this. Update this as soon I have my brain working again.
