Though I don't own Harry Potter (J.K. Rowling holds that honor) this fanfic is dedicated to the world of Harry Potter, all of its characters and all of its life. Most importantly this is dedicated to Severus Snape… I can't let him die.

WARNING- MAJOR SPOILERS ARE IN THIS STORY

This story takes place directly after HP and the Deathly Hallows (before the Epilogue). So if you haven't read the book yet I would suggest you do it before reading this fanfic.

We now know how the story ends. Harry defeats Voldemort and gains possession of the three strongest magical items the wizarding world knows nothing about, save in fairy tales. But his victory came with severe losses: Tonks, Lupin, Fred, Dumbledore, and so many others. Muggle-born and Pure-blood alike suffered. However, in the midst of it all, none suffered so much as Severus Snape. In love with a woman who would never love him back, and cursed with the knowledge that he had spelled her death. He died, in the end, at the hand of the master that had never been his. Harry Potter lived his life (for all intents and appearances) freely and the Hallows never appeared again. However none knows, not even his darling wife, of the secret that he carries.

The Hallows were living things, something not even Dumbledore considered, and together they chose a new master. One that was there that night of the final battle. One that, unwittingly, brought with her the champions of the present into the past. Though how they got there or who this mysterious girl really is, is a mystery to Harry, Ron ,and Hermoine one thing remained certain: Together they would have to find a way to save the greatest man they never knew.

But how do you save a snape without changing the future forever?
