THE STAR SEER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE

CHAPTER ONE: The Black Masked Figure
Early morning in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the new Headmaster was standing on the top castle's balcony with a blank expression in his face and watched the marching students through the Entrance Courtyard.
Deep in his thoughts, Severus Snape, the most hated person in Hogwarts, mainly because he had cast a killing curse to the former Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, the great wizard of all. Severus didn't want anyone to know what Dumbledore had asked him to do, that was to kill Dumbledore because he was going to die anyway. He chose to be silent and didn't tell anyone about it just to make sure that everything would go into plan. If he had spilled it to anyone else, it might have ruined everything.
What all the haters thought about him, didn't bother him at all. What was more important for him was to keep Harry alive and hidden, wherever he was, he should not be catch by the Dark Lord.
Severus knew that Voldemort already got the elder wand on his hands. And soon, the Dark Lord would search for the true master of the wand, Draco Malfoy. But he didn't know that. All the Dark Lord knew was that it was Severus who killed Dumbledore at the castle's tower. It was Draco who disarmed Dumbledore, that made him the true master of the Elder Wand. However Severus made an Unbreakable Vow with Narcissa, Draco's mother, he needed to protect him, owing to the fact that if he didn't, he would die.
He was facing the death nearer and nearer everyday. It was inevitable. Voldemort would kill him because of the elder wand. If Severus would tell the Dark Lord that Draco was the true master, it certainly would kill Severus too because of the Unbreakable Vow. So it seemed like there was no other way but to face it.
Severus, without someone to love, a friendless and the most hated human being, already accepted the fact that he would die alone. But he was thinking, if death was the only way to see his only love, Lily, Harry's mother, he would be happy to accept and welcome death. Though of course seeing Lily on the other life would also mean seeing James Potter too, the one who had tormented him when they were still young, who had labeled Severus as the 'greasy git and snivellus'.
The bell rang, Severus Snape stayed for awhile before going back to the Great Hall to gave the students and the staff a warm welcome. He never had dreamed of being a Headmaster nor being the protector of the child whose father was his mortal enemy. After a few moment at the balcony, he turned back and walked his way to the exit. As he made his third step a figure appeared in front of him.
Instinctively, Severus held his wand out and pointed it at the figure. He readied himself for an attack. He wondered why the figure wasn't holding his wand, he didn't even flinch at Severus' combative position, it would be perfectly easy for Severus to attack a wandless person.
The figure he was looking at, was wearing a black hooded thick jacket, a black pants, a black pair of leather gloves, and a black pair of shoes. His face was hidden with full head mask. Severus didn't know if it was a man or a woman because the only part of its body that wasn't cover was its eyes. A pair of black eyes, just like his eyes. Not so tall to be a man, but it couldn't be a woman, because it didn't looked like one. He thought that it might be another recruited Death Eater, but the one who was standing in front of him wasn't wearing the same mask and black robes that a Death Eater was wearing.
"Reveal yourself." Severus said in an impassive voice.
The figure didn't move nor made a reaction. He didn't even blink at the sight of Severus' wand.
"Reveal yourself." He said it again.
Once more, the figure didn't talk and had remained staring at Severus, pitch-black eyes was staring to another. He glared at the motionless figure in front of him.
He flicked his wand but before he was able to finish the spell, the man spoke.
"I am not your enemy, Severus Snape." The figure said. The voice was unmistakably not from a woman, it was loud and strong, it was like a man's voice but it sounded so fake. He didn't know how the man knew his name and why he was there. There was something mysterious about the masked man that created an impression to Severus that he could not be trusted.
He flicked his wand and conjured a Revealing Charm but the masked man blocked it with the use of his hand. Severus was stunned at what he just saw, a wandless magic. It was impressive, but it was no good for Severus. It would mean that the man who stood just a few steps away from him was a powerful wizard.
"Who are you?" Asked Severus, a curiosity appeared in his pale face. The man didn't answer him right away.
There was a lot of questions hanging inside Severus' head but he thought that it wasn't important, this man was here for a reason, something that was either a bad thing or a good thing.
"Answer me!" Severus commanded. He was eager to get more information from the man.
"Revealing my name is not my business here, Severus Snape." The black masked figure answered with the fake loud voice.
A business? What business that could be? Severus Snape never had seen that man before, he wasn't even one of his clients who had been ordering a potion from him. And he never encountered such a wandless wizard before. If the man couldn't tell Severus his name, surely the business thing that he was saying would be such an interesting one.
"I am not up for a business or any negotiation." He said coldly at the man's stillness.
The man didn't answer for a minute, Severus waited for him to speak.
Then, the man spoke. "Not your business, sir. MY business." He gave an extra emphasis on 'my'.
"Your business?" Severus snarled. "You are in my castle, so everyone's business under my leadership is my business too." He arched his eyebrow to the man. Before the man could answer, Severus talked again, "and why should I hear someone's business especially in that awfully dressed way?" He walked near to the man's placid body. Severus circled him like a predator examining it's prey.
The man remained still, he stood straight and his eyes weren't blinking. He seemed not scared at all. "The way I dressed is not anyone's business."
Severus' confusion and curiosity peaked up. "Then state the purpose of your presence." He said sharply to the man, he pointed his wand to the man's neck.
