Lost Treasures

The sky was grey and raining, the sun hadn't been out all summer, but it was still warm while most of the time; they weather had changed drastically a couple of days after Harry had come home from Hogwarts, well he never did consider Privet Drive home but it was until September 1st unless his friends decide to rescue him first.

Harry lay on his bed, not wanting to get up to another day, alone, without his friends without Sirius; but with the Dursley's yeah they had been a lot nicer since Moody and the other's had talked to them but he still wished that he was anywhere but here.

He heard Hedwig fly through the window and land on her cage he didn't turn round to look at her because then he would have to look at his birthday cards, where there was one missing. Though Lupin had sent him one in Sirius' place but it still wasn't the same because he wasn't Sirius he could never be Sirius, and that was all he wanted; for his door to open and Sirius to walk through him and tell him that it had all been some horrible dream, or some plan, but he was alive and Harry could leave and live with him. But deep down he knew that was never going to happen, he was never going to see him again.

Two weeks later, Lupin, Tonks and Moody had come to get him, he wasn't sure at first if he had wanted to go back to Sirius' house because of all the memories he had of him there; but he still went. It wasn't the same as the year before of course, he wasn't happy because he was away from the Dursley's for another year and staying with his friends; because the most important one was gone forever.

School was the hardest, because there were only two others who knew what had really happened; and even everyone who went to the DA meetings they didn't know. So everyone else around him he had to carry on as normal, though really he didn't know what normal was, because he had never really been normal.

Hogsmende wasn't the same either, he knew that it had been a while since they had seen Sirius there, but it was always a nice thought that he could have come running down the road to meet them; but now never again.

And Christmas, he wanted to stay at Hogwarts more then anything he didn't want to go back to the house again; because it was Christmas without Sirius.

*** Mean while back at Hogwarts.

Severus Snape walked into the dimly lit potion's room with his robes flowing behind him as he quickly walked over to the caldron which was bobbling away, with a slight green mist over the top. He stopped in front of it and carelessly threw in the last ingredient; then he turned too look over at his desk and smiled to himself, as the most beautiful woman he had ever known smiled back at him from a photo.

The young woman was in her twenties, and had long dark red pinkish hair; and the most beautiful fiery red eyes. He had though that he had lost her all those years again, but a conversation that he had over heard from Sirius and Remus before he had died; told him that she was still kind of alive.

It had taken him months to do, but he had finally figured out away to bring her back; with her help of course something she had left behind. And tonight was only the first step.

The caldron started to smoke and leak over the sides; in a matter of minutes the whole floor was covered in smoke. He smiled to himself as he turned back round and walked out of his classroom, there wasn't much longer to wait now, he locked the door behind him; thinking that in the morning it would all be complete.

He was sure that he could hear her now, congratulating him telling him how much she loved him and that she wanted to be with him wondering why it had taken so long to figure out that he was the one she loved.

Severus went back to his office and room, and tried to sleep, but he was more excited then he had ever been in his whole life and couldn't sleep. He kept watching the clock, but finally going up to 3 o'clock he feel asleep where he dreamt about his lost love.

Next morning Severus woke up extra early, he didn't care that he hadn't slept much, but this was far more important then him sleeping, he could sleep as much as he wanted when it was all over. He washed and dressed as quickly as he could and went straight down to his dungeons. He unlocked the classroom door and entered the now none smoky class, he looked around as he walked over to the caldron.

"No!" Severus shouted angrily at the seemingly empty caldron, until he took a closer look and realised that there was something still in it; he reached in and pulled out a small crystal ball. "Show me her, show me Nissa."

A mist started to form and then as clear as day, she appeared in the crystal ball; Severus touched her face softly through the glass.

"I want her back; bring him back so that he'll bring her back to me!" Severus commanded, and then throws the crystal ball at the ground shattering it into a thousand pieces.

A soft blue smoke started to raise, and then change into lilac and then purple and then the colour of her hair the last time he had seen her. Something started to grow out of the ground from within the smoke, growing larger and taller...

(I'll leave it there, a bit of a cliff hanger; sorry for the opening being so short but I assure you that the rest of the story will make up for it. Hoped you like it so far.

Please review, I like all comments good and bad; I'll up date as soon as I can.)
