Disclaimer: I don't own anything but the plot!

A seventeen-year-old boy sat alone in a compartment, staring out the window. He had dark hair that hung just above his shoulders and covered his even darker, mysterious eyes. The year was 1987.

He watched the countryside pass by. His thoughts plunged deeper and took him with them. This was to be the last time that he took this train to Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After this, he would be on his own. Not that he wasn't already.

He had been on his own for as long as he could remember.

The reality of it all made him realize how alone he was.

He was so deep in his thoughts; he didn't hear the hooded figure approach his compartment. He heard a soft laugh come from the door. He spun around quickly, but before he could even comprehend what was happening, a strong force accompanied by a blinding light knocked him to the ground.

The blow rendered him unconscious.

He awoke later with three people standing over him. He hadn't opened his eyes yet; he only listened to their voices.

"Do you think he is okay?" A girl voice asked.

"I'm not sure. I wonder who he is," a male voice asked.

The girl gasped softly as the boy opened his eyes and sat up.

"Wh... Where am I?" He asked.

"The Hogwarts Express." A red haired boy told him.

"Do you know who you are?" A beautiful brown haired girl asked.

"Yes."

"Okay. Do you know what year it is?" Hermione felt silly asking all of these questions, but it was necessary.

"Of course. It is September 1st, 1987." Hermione's eyes widened.

"I hate to burst your crazy little bubble mate, but it is 2007." This earned Ron Weasley a death glare from Hermione Granger.

Harry Potter, Hermione, and Ron all looked at each other with the same look. ' He's mad."

"I think we need to see Dumbledore," Hermione said, worry dripping from her voice.

The boy sitting in front of them had stopped listening. Panic set in his stomach. Shock wouldn't let him move from his spot.

He, Severus Snape, had gone forward in time.

Sorry for the shortness. I will post another chapter to semi-make up for it!!

Tell me what you think!
