A New Beginning
Chapter 1
Harry and Professor Snape's Hidden Memories

Harry, Ron and Hermione sat quietly at a table in Gryffindor's common room working on tons of homework that has been piled on since the beginning of their 6th year. While their fellow Gryffindors slept quietly without a care in the world Harry had plenty on his mind.

Hermione finally broke their long silence after several hours of sitting there not talking.

"Harry are you continuing your Occlumency lessons with Professor Snape this term?" Hermione asked without looking up from her essay for Professor Binns' class, History of Magic.

Ron looked at Harry with the curious look of whether or not he was going to bite their heads off for asking such a question.

"Well, Harry are you?" asked Ron cautiously after several moments, which seemed like hours, passed by.

Harry put down his quill and looked at Ron and Hermione with an aggravated and pained expression on his face.

"I have no choice do I?" Harry said dryly. "Believe me I would rather spend my Monday evenings with Filch than with Professor Snape and him invading my memories and asking questions."

"Have you been clearing your mind of all thoughts before going to sleep like you are suppose to?" Hermione asking accusingly but more out of concern for her friend than actually accusing him of not doing so.

Ron just looked at Hermione with a disgusted look of, if you set him off tonight we won't hear the end of it!

But before Hermione could catch Ron's expression Harry's temper reached boiling point and his emotions were now bubbling over.

"I've been trying every night since Sirius' death!" Harry yelled at the two of them.

Ron and Hermione both gasped by the mention of Sirius' death knowing oh to well that that is a subject that Harry does not like to talk about at all. But before Hermione could apologize Harry went off again. Luckily there were no other Gryffindors in the common room to hear his next comment.

"You two have no idea what it is like to go to sleep night after night and see someone you care about die right before your very eyes!" Harry said through a mixture of pain and pure madness by this stupid question and his reaction but he just couldn't contain himself and his emotions right now.

"I wish every night that it could have been me instead of Sirius. I wish every night that I were dead and did not have to deal with any more let downs and heartache let alone having to deal with Voldermort's visions." Harry said so coldly that the temperature in the common room dropped at least 10 degrees despite the fire going in the fireplace.

With that being said Harry just looked at the two of them "I'm heading up to bed. Its no use I can't get any work done tonight..see you two in the morning I guess." With a nod from both Ron and Hermione Harry then headed up to his dormitory knowing well enough that he wouldn't get any sleep tonight or the nights that were to follow.

Ron and Herminone just sat there and looked at each other after Harry had left them and wondered what kind of things were in store for all of them this term.

^*^*^ Harry woke one morning with a dreadful feeling in the pit of his stomach. He sat up and reached for his glasses as he swung his legs over his bed it then came to him suddenly why he had this terrible feeling in his stomach. It is his first Occlumency lesson with Professor Snape that evening. Harry hadn't practiced Occlumency with Snape since the end of last term when Snape had caught Harry peering into his inner most thoughts that were stored in Professor Dumbledore's Pensieve.

Harry had spent most of his day in a daze. Again last night he had a restless sleep. Every time Harry tried to get some sleep he couldn't because his sleep was plagued with nightmares of Sirius' death. Harry relived that moment again and again hoping that his thoughts of alternative ways could and would change the events that only occurred several months ago. So Harry spent another night tossing and turning trying to force out these horrible images that just wouldn't leave while his dorm mates slept peacefully.

Later that evening Harry was eating dinner with everyone else in the Great Hall or at least his was pretending to.

Harry just sat there staring as his plate of pork chops and baked potato as everyone else was cheerfully talking amongst themselves. He was pushing his food around his plate with his fork when a slide remark brought him back to reality.

"Did you hear Harry Potter still has to take remedial potions again this year." Draco Malfoy said gleefully to a bunch of 6th year Slytherins as he passed by the Gryffindor table. "Can you believe that Harry Potter has actually made it this far but yet he still has to take remedial potions!" Malfoy said while staring at Harry with a sneering look on his face.

Grabbe and Goyle and the rest of the Slytherin bunch were all laughing at Harry now.

At that moment Ron stood up. "Hey Malfoy!" Ron shouted.

"What do you want Weasley? Wish you could take remedial potions also? Since everyone knows you stink at it." Malfoy said coldly and slyly towards Ron.

"You little stupid g-" Ron sneered as he was grabbing for his wand but before Ron could finish his rude statement or better yet jinx Malfoy Hermione grabbed a biscuit and shoved it in his mouth almost choking Ron.

Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle just laughed at them as they walked towards the Slytherin table. All Harry could do was just glare at Malfoy as he sauntered away knowing he has succeeded in making him and his friends look like idiots.

"Why did you do that Hermione!?" Ron choked out as he spitted out the biscuit that was lodged in his mouth.

"Don't be mad Ron!" Hermione hissed quietly so only the two of them could hear her. "It is bad enough Malfoy thinks Harry is taking Remedial Potions and spreading it around school when we know that is not the case." She said hurriedly trying to get her point across to Ron. "Just let him believe it because what he doesn't know won't hurt him." Hermione said half-heartily that she laughed to herself.

"It will actually be good for Harry if this rumor gets around school." Herminone stated as she reached for the pumpkin juice.

"It would be what!" Harry exclaimed at that remark.

But before Harry could put his two cents in about his own rumor Hermione chimed in "Let everyone believe what they hear. It will just keep what he is really doing under wraps. It is that plain and simple. Do you really want Malfoy to find about his Occlumency lessons with Professor Snape? The Order will be in danger along with Harry and Snape if word got out. You know Malfoy would tell his father and we all know that Lucious Malfoy is a Death Eater." She said impatiently to the two of them.

Even after that being said Ron and Hermione continued carry on about why she shoved a biscuit in Ron's mouth instead of letting him jinx Malfoy. All Harry did was wish that Ron had started a fight with Malfoy it would have just prolonged his time even longer instead of heading down towards Professor Snape's office.

Harry looked down at his watch to check the time before heading off to Snape's office but then remembered his watch was still broken which he still wore because it was just a habit.

"Hey Ron what time is it?" Harry said while he was still looking down at his plate of uneaten food before him.

'"It is a quarter to seven mate." Ron said as he was stuffing yet another spoonful of baked potato in his mouth.

"Holy crap!" Harry cried. "I was suppose to be in Snape's office forty- five minutes ago!" He said hurriedly as he grabbed his school bag and took a gulp or two of pumpkin juice before running off to Snape's office.

*^*^* Harry hitched his robes and school bag up as he ran out the Great Hall. He ran past the marble stairs and headed off towards the dungeons where Snape's classroom and office were located. At this point in time Snape's office seemed further away than it has ever felt before.

Harry finally reached Snape's office door. Harry stood there for a moment trying to catch his breath before he knocked.

"Don't just stand there huffing and puffing get in here now boy!" Growled Snape through the thick wooden door.

What Harry didn't realize was that Professor Snape's door was slightly open. Snape could hear Harry scurry down the dungeon hallway like a rat and at the same time Snape heard him trying to catch his breath before he entered this dark and not so welcoming space Snape called his office.

Harry slowly pushed open Snape's office door and walked in.

"Sit.down.now!" Snape said through his curled lips and clenched-yellowed teeth.

Harry did so without even looking up at Professor Snape. Harry couldn't bring himself to look at Snape's after what he saw in the Pensieve that unfortunate night last year. Harry thought Snape deserved what his father James and godfather Sirius did to him when they were at Hogwarts but at the same time Harry hated that fact that his father and godfather had been so cruel.

As Harry sat down in front of Snape's old wooden desk Snape got up and crossed in front of his desk so that he was facing Harry. Snape's black robes fluttered as he walk so that he looked like a giant, greasy bat about to take off in the search of fresh prey.

Snape leaned forward and placed his bony, grayish hands on either side of the chair that Harry was sitting in.

Harry had no choice but to look up at Professor Snape now. As Harry looked up at Snape, Snape did nothing but stare back at Harry with pure hatred showing in his dark, cold eyes that looked like dark, very dark pools of blood. Snape's black greasy hair feel so that it framed his pale sunken in face. Harry then realized that Snape looked even paler and even older since the last time he saw him. It even looked like Snape's nose was more crooked than before and that it had possibly been broken at some point during the summer holiday.

What felt like hours were actually a few moments of silence between Harry and Professor Snape. It seemed that Snape was reading Harry's thoughts but finally Snape broke the uncomfortable silence between the two.

"A knute for your thoughts Potter or maybe that is a bit to expensive for your childish thoughts?" Professor Snape barked at him.

Snape snarled at Harry "But that is not what is important here now is it Potter?"

"No, No Sir." Harry said so quietly that even Snape couldn't hear him and he was standing right in front of Harry staring him down like he was some filthy beast.

"What did you say boy?" Snape said as he looked at Harry as though he was on the verge of tears but it was anger that was building up inside of Harry not tears. "Do you need a tiss-?" but before Snape could finish his insult Harry caught him off guard.

Harry suddenly yelled at Professor Snape with all his might "I said NO SIR!"

"How dare you yell at me you insolent little boy!" Snape growled so loud that the glass jars that surrounds Snape's office rattled.

"Also, how dare you waste my time and effort Potter. You feel that you can show up at any given time and expect everyone to drop what he or she is doing when the Almighty Harry Potter graces their presence. I think not boy." Snape said so heatedly that he was boiling over with rage that he was shaking as he stood before Harry.

Harry's anger was creeping up in side of him rapidly. He could feel it start from his toes and move through his body and up his throat and before he could stop himself it had escaped his mouth.

"I DID NOT AND DO NOT WANT TO WASTE YOUR TIME PROFESSOR SNAPE!" Harry yelled as he got up from his seat pushing Snape back on to his desk. "I don't even want to be here. But I have no choice do I? Professor Dumbledore wants me to practice until I am able to control my thoughts and quit seeing Voldermort's thoughts and feeling his emotions!" Harry was now screaming with all his might at Professor Snape and Harry was pretty sure that the castle was now aware of this conversation.

Harry was now eye to eye with one of the most hated people in his life. Both Harry and Professor Snape were eyeing each other and both were clutching their own wands just waiting for the other to make a move.

But before anything could be done Harry picked up his school bag and tore out of Snape's office and headed towards Gryffindor's common room. As Harry took off Professor Snape was left standing in his office shaking with rage and still clutching his wand.

^*^*^

The next morning Harry did not want to get up at all. He had another restless night plagued with nightmares and this time his argument with Snape kept replaying in his mind.

Harry stayed in bed wishing he could just fall asleep and sleep forever. He had forgotten what it was like to have a normal sleep with normal dreams if you can call what he has dreamt of in the past normal.

Harry finally got up and got dressed quietly and headed down to breakfast. He hadn't spoken to Ron and Hermione since dinner the previous night. When he got back to the Gryffindor's common room Ron and Hermione were still up waiting for him when he got back. Harry just looked at them and headed up to bed without saying a word. He did not want to relieve his argument with Snape again, not that night. Harry just wanted to get down to the Great Hall and try to eat something before it began to fill up.

Harry had just sat down at Gryffindor's table and grabbed a piece of toast when Ron and Hermione sat down beside him.

"What happened last night?" Ron and Hermione both said eagerly looking at him.

Harry didn't even bother looking at either one of them and just muttered "Nothing."

"What do you mean Harry that nothing happened? You weren't able to stop Professor Snape from entering you thoughts?" Hermione asked looking at Harry with a questionable look upon her face.

Ron just sat there staring at the two of them has he stuffed his face with buttered toast and bacon waiting for Harry to answer Hermione.

"Well?" Hermione asked annoyingly waiting for Harry's reply.

"Not a thing happened last night like I said. All that was accomplished was an argument between Professor Snape and I." Harry said dryly.

Ron and Herminone just looked at Harry with a panicked look on their faces. So Harry spent the rest of breakfast telling Hermione and Ron what transpired between him and Snape last night in his office. Before Harry knew it the bell rang and everyone including them left the Great Hall and headed of to their first class.

Harry's day went by slowly. He went from class to class not really paying attention to any of his lessons. He spent his whole day in a thick, dark, heavy fog. Harry was finally glad when he reached his last class of the day, which happened to be Transfiguration with Professor McGonagall.

"Good afternoon class." Professor McGonagall said in her usual stern voice. "Today we are going to be working on transforming these ordinary looking feathers to kittens." She said as she placed a white feather on her desk. With a swish of her wand "Transformo Felis" at that moment the feather that was lying on her desk transformed to a cute, fluffy little white kitten. At once all the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff girls ooh and awed and the boys just rolled their eyes. "Now everyone come and get a feather and begin practicing." She said as she walked around the classroom watching everyone begin.

Everyone's feather wasn't a white one like Professor McGonagall's. Everyone's feather ranged from bright pink, acid green, to many other vibrant colors. Everyone began practicing at once. Anything and everything was happening with the feathers expect the actual transformation to kittens. Some feathers meowed and purred. While others hissed and growled at their owners. Some people did manage to get feathers with whiskers and tails and some even had spots and stripes. Only one person was able to turn their feather into a proper kitten and that was Hermione. Hermione had chosen a bright purple feather to work with and after her forth attempt she had successfully turned her purple feather in to a cute and bright purple kitten. All Ron and Harry were able to get was a couple of feathers that were barking instead of meowing! By the end of class more and more people had feathers with whiskers and tails. Some of the feathers there were hissing and growling had to be caged separately because they were bullying the other feathers.

The bell finally rang and everyone was off to the Great Hall for dinner. But before Harry had the chance to get out the door Professor McGonagall had summoned him to her desk.

Ron and Hermione looked back and saw Harry retreat back inside the classroom. They started to follow him back to Professor McGonagall's desk.

"Sorry Miss. Granger and Mr. Weasley you will just have to wait for Harry in the Great Hall now be off." She said with a hint of concern wavering in her voice.

"Harry please sit down." She said gesturing to a near by seat.

Harry put down his book bag and took a seat. The whole time he was watching Professor McGonagall trying to read her expression. It was no use; all Harry could tell from her was what she had to tell him was not going to be good.

"Harry, Professor Dumbledore and I had a meeting with Professor Snape this morning." Professor McGonagall said calmly.

"But.Professor." Harry stammered looking at her worriedly.

"Please Harry just listen to what I have to say." She said with force as she sat down at her desk facing Harry. "Professor Dumbledore and I were informed by Professor Snape of the argument that occurred between the two of you last night." Harry just nodded his head in agreement because it was no use in denying any argument you have with Professor Snape.

"Harry, Professor Snape told Dumbledore and I that you said that you had no choice about whether or not to continue you Occlumency lessons. Harry you do have a choice but choosing not to continue puts you in great harm. Is that something you really want Harry is to be in great harm?" She asked desperately wanting to know his answering.

Harry just sat there staring at his shoes and wishing he wasn't having this conversation at all. He wished he could just be alone with the few happy thoughts he has left and just give up on everything else going on right now.

"Harry it is ok if you do not want to answer that question. But I strongly suggest that you continue your Occlumency lessons with Professor Snape. He is the best and will be able to help you Harry but you just have to be willing to try and give it your all. I have faith in you Harry. I really do." She said with great confidence in Harry.

Harry looked up at her with a forced smile on his face and quietly thanked her and stood up to leave.

"One more thing before you leave Harry." She said quickly before Harry left her classroom.

"Yes, Professor?" Harry said while picking up his book bag and really wishing this conversation was over.

"You are to meet Professor Snape in his office Saturday afternoon to make up for lost time. You and I both know that Professor Snape would do anything to discontinue these lessons but he is only doing so for the Order. So I advise you Harry to be prompt and try contain yourself. You may go now Harry." Professor McGonagall looked at Harry with a warm look in her eye and an encouraging smile on her face.

With that Harry was off to the Great Hall to fill Hermione and Ron in on what just happened.

*^*^*

Harry woke up Saturday morning wishing it were any other day but Saturday. He was truly dreading spending his afternoon with Professor Snape. Even though Harry was not looking forward Occlumency with Snape he was feeling somewhat better after listening to Professor McGonagall several days back. Harry finally decided to get up when he heard Ron waking up. The two of them dressed in silence and headed down to the common room.

"Finally! I thought the two of you would never get up." Hermione said exasperatedly as she jumped up from her chair.

"Why?" Harry said yawning.

"I thought we could go and see Hagrid after breakfast? We haven't seen him since the beginning of school. I just thought it would be good for all of us." She said excitedly.

"I'm gamed as long as Hagrid doesn't have any new and dangerous pet." Ron said with a worried expression on his face.

For once in several weeks Harry laughed and actually had a smile on his face.

The three of them headed out the Portrait hole and went down for breakfast. Ron, Harry and Hermione were actually having a good breakfast. Even though Harry was dreading his afternoon he was feeling a lot better. Better than he has felt in a long time. Even Malfoy's remarks weren't affecting Harry this morning. Harry, Ron and Hermione spent the time talking about their classes and upcoming school events with their fellow Gryffindors.

An hour or so later Ron, Harry and Hermione left the Great Hall and headed down to Hagrid's hut. As they were approaching Hagrid's they all noticed that he was tending his garden. When they got closer they noticed he was growing pumpkins for the school. Hagrid always grew the largest pumpkins but he has is own secret ingredient he used just for them, magic. Hagrid turned around to grab a bucket of dragon dung when he saw the three of them coming up towards him.

"How 're you three doin'?" He asked with the biggest smile on his face as they reached his garden.

"Pretty good and yourself Hagrid?" Hermione asked warmly.

"Good, good." Hagrid said still tending to his pumpkins.

"Pumpkins looking really good Hagrid." Ron said with a sound of relief in his voice that it was just pumpkins and not some new breed of blastended flubberworms.

Hagrid had noticed that Harry was being very quiet this morning. He could also tell that Harry had a lot on his mind and Hagrid could understand why. Hagrid just looked at Harry and gave him a big warm smile through his curly, thick and matted beard. Harry realized that Hagrid was staring at him and Harry just returned him a smile. With Hagrid seeing that smile knew right then and there that Harry was going to be just fine just need some time to get over things and think.

"Would you lot like a cup of tea?" Hagrid said gesturing to his hut.

"Sure!" All three said at once happily.

The three of them followed Hagrid into his hut for some tea. The four friends spent the next several hours talking about their summer vacations and plans for Christmas and how their classes were going this term. Harry was just glad that he didn't have to explain much to Hagrid but Harry had a feeling that Hagrid already knew more than he let on to. Soon it was early afternoon and Ron, Harry and Hermione said their good-byes to Hagrid and they all headed off back towards the castle. They entered the castle and said their good-byes there. It was now time for Harry to meet with Professor Snape. Harry headed off towards the dungeons and Ron and Hermione set off up the marble stairs towards Gryffindor's common room.

*^*^*

Taking Professor McGonagall's advice Harry took off towards the dungeons in a mad dash not wanting to be late. Harry hurried passed the torches that lit his way and stopped in front of Professor Snape's office. He looked at it for a few moments and knocked loudly.

"Enter." Professor Snape said annoyingly knowing that it was Harry.

Harry pushed open Snape's office door and stepped it. For being mid afternoon it was dark as night in Snape's office. Harry looked around Professor Snape's office. Nothing had changed much in the six years that Harry has been attending Hogwarts. Snape's office was still surrounded with unknown specimens contained in odd shaped jars that were filled with odd color liquid also. The jars were suspended in mid air and gave an eerie glow to his office because the liquid inside the jars seemed to be glowing. Finally Harry's eyes fell upon Snape who was sitting at his desk with Professor Dumbledore's pensieve in front of him. Snape paid no attention what so ever once he had entered the dimly lit room. Snape was sitting at his desk extracting thoughts with his wand and placing them inside of the pensieve. Harry was use to this now because he had seen him do this before plus Dumbledore too. Harry stared for several more moments as Professor Snape removed a few more thoughts and placed them inside the pensieve.

"Glad to see that you are finally obeying some orders Potter." Snape said glaring up at him with his dark and cold eyes. Snape stood up and took the pensieve and placed it inside a cupboard and placed an anti-theft spell on it. Harry knew he did that because of him. Harry knew that it got under Snape's skin that Harry had seen one of his worst memories.

Professor Snape walked back towards Harry and was now standing right in front of him staring him down. Harry could feel the hatred oozing from every pore of Snape's body. Snape disliked his father and friends and dislikes Harry even more. Harry felt the same way towards Professor Snape and Harry could feel the anger start to boil deep inside him.

"Are you ready to begin Harry?" Professor Snape asked while pulling out his wand and pointing it at Harry.

Harry had hardly anytime to answer Snape yet clear his mind. He just had enough time to grab him wand out of his robes before Professor Snape yelled "Legilimens!" Before Harry could do anything Snape was already invading his thoughts.

Old memories of Dudley tormenting Harry ran through his mind at high speeds that he couldn't tell where one began and one ended. Harry was relieving each fight he had with Dudley. He could feel each punch again and again but this time it hurt even worse than it did before. Harry could hear his own voice inside his head. "Don't let Snape get the best of you Harry. You've got to control yourself. You must!" Harry just couldn't close his mind to Snape at all! Then a new surge of memories flashed through Harry's mind. It was his argument last year with Cho on Valentine's day. Words of their argument were ringing through his ears. He couldn't let Snape see or hear anything that occurred between the two of them that he just couldn't stand there anymore it was to personal and hurt to see it again. Next thing Harry knew he was screaming from pain as he came to and realized he had fallen to his knees in Professor Snape's office.

"Boy will you never learn?" Snape growled as he picked Harry up by the collar of his robes violently and pushed in him into a chair. "How many times must I remind you to clear your mind of ALL thoughts. Do you actually want to make yourself a victim and fall into the Dark Lord's powers? If you don't then you must master yourself because if you don't I will refuse to teach you!" Snape slammed down his fist with so much anger that his desk groaned and creaked loudly under his wrath.

"Now stand up and try to clear your mind." Snape said angrily. "One..Two..Legilimens!"' Snape yelled as he penetrated Harry's mind once again.

Harry tried with all his might to block Snape but he couldn't. The memory that followed was one that he did not want Professor Snape or anyone else to ever see through his own eyes. Harry could hear himself screaming within his own mind. "NO, NO, NO! Anything but this one!'" He heard himself cry. Harry was reliving the night of Sirius's death all over again. Seeing Sirius fighting Bellatrix and falling backwards trough the ragged veil hanging from the archway on the dais after being struck in the chest by one of Bellatrix's spells. He could feel himself running towards the dais wanting to save his godfather but he couldn't he just couldn't. He couldn't believe that Sirius the only connection he had to his parents and their past was now dead also.

Finally Professor Snape brought Harry out of the spell. Harry came to with red sparks flying all over the room and around him. He caught Snape in the corner of his eye ducking the rampaging sparks. Harry finally realized that he was pointing his wand at Snape and out of rage that was flowing through his body red sparks were shooting out of his wand. Harry lowered his wand and at once the red sparks stopped.

Snape walked towards Harry with an evil grin on his white, sunken in face. "So that is how your dear godfather departed you is it Harry?" Snape said with great satisfaction in his voice.

"How dare you mention Sirius's death!" Harry exclaimed with so much anger that his knuckles were now white as snow as he clutched his wand. Harry moved towards Snape eyeing him down. Snape did nothing but stand there waiting for Harry to make his move. Both men just stood there looking at each other when Professor Snape did something very stupid on his part. While they were staring at each other Snape was not paying attention to the movement that occurring down by Harry's side. Before Professor Snape knew it Harry was in his mind seeing memories that Snape has never shared with anyone before in his life.

Harry saw Snape as a child sitting up alone in his room no one wanting to play with him as he saw other children playing and having fun. Harry saw Professor Snape being tormented by every child in his neighborhood. He was being called names and even beaten up sometimes. Harry even saw how Snape's parents acted like he didn't exist sometimes and how his siblings ignored him. Other memories flew by so fast that Harry couldn't make them out. Finally a bunch of memories containing the same girl slowed down. Harry then realized these were memories of Snape's while he was a student at Hogwarts. Harry was actually seeing very personal thoughts of Professor Snape now. Harry saw Snape as a first year in potions class sharing a table with a pretty young woman. With every glimpse Snape would steal of this girl Harry was feeling something strange and these feelings were intensifying. A couple of memories speed by and Harry is now seeing Snape in the library with the same girl that he was with when he was as first year it looked like Snape was in either his 3rd or 4th year now. They are laughing and talking and Snape actually looked happy. Harry felt like his heart was going to explode and then he realized what Snape was feeling every moment he spent it with this young woman. Snape was experiencing love and happiness with this girl. Something he never received before in his life. She was beautiful and Harry could see why Snape felt this way about her. She had short messed up spiky dark brown hair, which reminded Harry of his own. Her hair also had streaks of bright purple through out it. She had big, beautiful brown eyes and a fair complexion. She was also wearing purple glasses that matched the streaks of purple in her hair. She wore a beautiful smile and her eyes sparkled while she was with Snape in the library. As Harry watched this memory he had an odd feeling deep in his gut not like the feelings Professor Snape was experiencing with this girl but something else something very different and eerie. Harry had this odd feeling that he has seen this woman before but just doesn't know when or even where he might of seen her.

After what seemed like hours were actually only a few minutes that Harry was seeing into Professor Snape's mind. Professor Snape finally broke free from Harry's Legilmency spell. Harry shook his head trying to make sense of everything that he had just witnessed. With out evening paying attention to what was going on Harry then found himself pinned up against the wall by Professor Snape, which caused Harry to drop his wand.

"HOW.DARE.YOU.CATCH.ME.OFF.GUARD.LIKE.THAT!" Snape screamed at Harry. Professor Snape had his bony hand wrapped around Harry's neck as he had him pinned up against the cold stone wall. Harry was having trouble breathing and was now struggling trying to get Snape off of him. But with all his might Harry couldn't break free of Snape. Harry's struggle was starting to lessen as he fell into the darkness of unconsciousness. The last images to flash before him was Professor Snape's nostrils flaring and him growling but also an image of the girl that Harry had seen in Snape's mind wondering where he has seen her before and why she looked so familiar to him.....
