Harry Potter, apart from my copy of all the books :)
New Beginnings; Old Death Eaters
Prologue- Introductions
.
It was the year after the Triwizarding Tournament. Harry had seemed to recover nicely. Although he and those currently involved with the Order of the Phoenix were still most appropriately wary of the threat that was growing, promising to devour the entire wizarding world slowly, painfully. Voldemort and his Death Eaters had been lying low for almost three months now after the Tournament. Most definately regrouping, recouperating and assessing their situation, so as they will return more powerfull than ever.
Apparently Voldemort had discovered who the various individuals 'leaking' information back to Dumbledore and the Ministry were; as the aurors came across multiple bodies of severed and mutilated death eaters. Every one of them had their skin burned away at the site the dark mark effectively removing it from their left arms. Unfortunately for the side of the light Severus Snape had been one of those discovered, and after days of almost endless suffering Severus had barely escaped with his life.
. .
Professor Snape sat in one of the large comfortable chairs in one of the staff rooms he had come to despise so after being confined to the castle by Dumbledore, surrounded by various other professors.
"You will stay in the castle from now on Severus," Albus had said, "we can't afford to accidentally let Voldemort on to the fact that you survived. Toffee..?" Severus remembered that conversation like it was yesterday. Blasted Albus had made it quite clear that despite the dark mark no longer occupying his arm, Severus was still very vulnerable to Voldemort, as long as he thought him alive. But the situation as it was, Severus was believed to be dead by The Dark Lord and his Death Eaters. And apparently, Albus was more than willing to leave the particular situation alone.
'Speak of the bloody devil,' thought Severus as Albus walked into the staff room accompanied by a strange man. 'This must be the new DADA Professor Dumbledore hired,' he scoffed to himself. The Potions Master had never tired of applying for the DADA position year after year, hoping that one day Albus might one day just give in and give the damn thing to him. 'But yet again it seemed that the position had been taken by an underqualified, daft excuse for a wizard.' Severus mused looking the man over.
Clad in a long midnight-black robe with a silver trim he seemed young, too young. Perhaps it was his soft, almost femenin features accompanying short dark brown hair, eyes and that dark robe that caused him to look so.
Snape was pulled out of his reverie as the young man's gaze shifted over to him. As their eyes met the man smiled and blinked at him. Severus imediately tore his eyes away and put on one of his award winning scowls, 'What the bloody hell was that?!' He growled to himself, 'annoying little twit.'
"Hello everyone, and welcome back." Said Dumbledore cheerily, "Severus and I have been awaiting your return eagerly!" Severus snorted but Dumbledore continued unscathed, "It is my pleasure to announce a new addition to our staff this year," at this Snape scoffed but once again was 'apparently' ignored, "this," he motioned to the young man, who was now sitting, innocently in the chair next to Severus, "is Cole Gavin. Among other things, he is a trained auror," Dumbledore gave a dramatic pause at this point, why exactly Severus did not know, "and will be teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts here at Hogwarts! I know that you will all treat him kindly..." As Albus spoke the latter he was staring pointedly at Severus who was unconsciously glaring at the new professor.
After various introductions and that moron Black making a complete ass of himself in front of everyone causing Remus to go very red, which Severus thoroughly enjoyed, it was time to start the staff meeting.
*Ahem!* Albus cleared his throught, "First things first..." Another damn dramatic pause, "I was hoping Severus, if you would be so kind, to show Mr Gavin around the castle..." Albus said, eyes twinkling as Severus' widened then narrowed dangerously...
Damn it!

Thats 1!
Just so no one's confused, in this Sirius' name was cleared during the summer. He and Remus got jobs at hogwarts teaching History of Magic-Remus, and Sirius is the new Flying and Quidditch instructor since Binns and Hooch took off together:}hehe just kidding, I haven't thought of what happened to them yet...It'll come to me...eventually :)
