Remember me this way
Chapter 1
Harry Potter was tortured. No one would ever recognize him, and funnily enough he died taking Voldemort with him through the mark. Harry had known he would die and had well prepared himself for the moment. One thing for sure- Harry didn't want to be remembered for being tortured or wanting anyone to see his unrecognizable body. It of course was inevitable that people would see it, and they would remember his body that way. Harry didn't want them to remember him that way. He had ended up having a vision of what was going to happen, also found out his mother and he were descendants of Ravenclaw. He also and found out many secrets through the visions and became to respect the man known as Severus Snape.
Severus Snape had been through hell and back. Harry realized what Severus had been through during his childhood and at school, thanks to his father. Harry felt as if he deserved everything he got from Snape. What his father had done was horrendous. Severus Snape had been a happy young man in love with a woman who was called Serena Wittelman she was a pure blood of a long thought died out from a line that was thought to have died out long ago. But he had not liked her because of that. Severus' world crashed down around him when James Potter cast a spell on him and made him unable to ever father a child. So the Snape line would end with him. All of his last remaining family members were woman, who would end up marrying and taking the person they marry's their husband's last name.
His family blamed him for his sister's death. Severus had never spoken about what had happened to anyone. His family assumed he was guilty, what they didn't know was he had ended her suffering. She was dying a horrible painful death that would slowly denigrate her. It took a lot of energy to do; the dark lord would never done that again in a hurry. But none the less his baby sister was dying, and he watching. He wanted nothing more than to go to her, but he had promised her too keep his cover. Yes, his baby sister had known about it all, and he was unable to save her. She gave her life up and for the life of people who were never grateful for what he done for them.
His father was long dead as was his ex- girlfriend, who had left him when she discovered she would never have children with him. The need to continue her family line was more important than him, so she fled. She married a death eater, and ended up dead just like the death eater who she had married for disappointing her husband.
Severus had mourned his loss himself just like always. , Severus had been devastated when he had realized he could never be a father. He had always wanted to be a father and look after a child that was his; to do something his father didn't - love his child. James Potter had destroyed Severus Snape more than he would ever know. Deep down, James Potter realized what he had done to his school enemy when he had held his new born son in his arms. When he realized that he had deprived a man of those feelings, he had never really forgiven himself. So he didn't apologize because he could not ask the man to forgive him when he didn't forgive himself. And if James Potter's will had been read, then he would have found a letter.
Of course Harry knew all this. He, had also discovered some lost ancient spells and potions that had been lost. He had even had visions of Merlin. Gryffindor He watched as one of the Gryffindors ended up a Potter thus starting the Potter line. So Harry was actually the Ravenclaw and Gryffindor heir and Severus Snape was actually a descendant of Slytherin not Tom Riddle. Samantha Snape married Samuel Slytherin. Samuel's brother was disowned but still took the Slytherin name even thought it was not his, and eventually Tom Riddle came to be. If Snape had read up on his ancestors he would of course realized that too. He unfortunately didn't inherit the gift of Parsletongue from his great grandfather.
His great grandfather had been disappointed when his son didn't speak snake language, so it didn't mean much to Severus' dad when Severus didn't; in fact, Severus' dad was pleased when he could not. He would have hated for his dad to pay more attention to his son than him just because he could speak to snakes.
Harry had been, totally surprised to learn all this. But was prepared, for what was to come. If his death meant peace, then it was a price he was willing to pay. Not for Ron, not even Hermione but for people like Severus Snape. He had thought his life had been hard, but it was nothing compared to Severus Snape's. He could understand why Severus hated him, especially if he thought that Harry was spoiled. He also could not help but think Hermione and Ron had just no idea how lucky they really were. They took everything for granted, all Gryffindors do, another reason for Severus to hate them.
He knew what and when everything was going to happen, and for some reason, he was not scared, he had faced death so many times, that it did not bother him.
He knew he would miss his friends, but also knew they would get over him, and he would at last get to know his parents.
Harry soon fell asleep, but his stomach was churning. For the first time in his life, he started to feel scared. The knowledge that this was his last sleep, and possibly the most pain free he will be before he died, horrified him. But he had asked, he had begged to know how to kill Voldemort, and he had gotten showned. He had to die for the dark lord to be killed. Soon, far too soon for Harry's liking, he heard banging. All he could think as he breathed heavily in the silence of his room was 'this is it'.
"Well, well, well this is how the famous Harry Potter lives, how exiting" said Lucius Malfoy. Another man was at his side, the smell of the man, identified who the person was Severus Snape, who was sweating behind his mask. This was not what the man had expected when he had walked into Harry Potters house.
Harry Potter was meant to be spoiled and pampered, not locked in his room like a common criminal.
"Malfoy, it is good to see you. Dobby is doing great by the way" said Harry. He was not going to go down without a fight; he would die with his pride intact. Everything he wanted known was already waiting at Gringotts.
Lucius snarled. If it had not been for Severus, Harry knew he would have been under the 'Crucio' for that comment. It was so fun to rile them up, it was his last chance, so who was he to back down? But Snape was currently cursing Harry Potter, unable to believe that the boy was actually goading Malfoy.
He had seen the man at work, and knew Harry was in for it, unless he could get away with the boy.
"My lord will be seeing you Harry Potter" snarled the man. Grabbing Harry roughly, he practically threw Harry down the stairs. He saw the sight he had in his nightmares, ; his family being tortured. He was just thankful that Dudley was out, at his friends, and would not be back so he would be safe.
"Well Harry Potter, we meet again, . I have been looking forward to this moment for quite some time now" hissed Voldemort.
"Gee, I did not know I was so well liked, Tom" said Harry. The man was even more hideous than ever, even more so when he hissed; his eyes glowing red at Harry's comment.
"I shall very well enjoy killing you, Harry Potter" hissed Voldemort. The death eaters flinched, none more than Severus Snape.
"Ooh I feel so privileged" said Harry sarcastically. Severus Snape would have smirked at his dry humor, if the situation had been different. He was surprised that Harry was not scared; he had always been scared of death.
"Crucio" snarled Voldemort. Harry was down, as soon as the curse hit him. To the surprise of all there he did not scream. Harry was now used to the curse; having felt it all month, from the visions. But even thought, he did not scream out loud the pain was still unbelievable.
"Is that the best you've got Voldemort? Your truly getting soft, I suppose that happens when you get old" said Harry. He was riling him up, he knew that.
His world soon, became a blur of pain, of course he did not scream, and definitely did not cry or beg. He was not even aware that he was moved, from Privet
Drive and into Voldemort's manor. The rest of the time, he felt like he was floating; only feeling sharp bits of pain now and again.
He was not aware that Lucius Malfoy used a dagger, and slashed him with it, nor when Severus Snape shoved, potions that would cause unimaginable pain, to course through his body. Of course the man looked down, at Harry in sadness, realizing just how brave and proud Harry was as well as what kind of life Harry had. Snape, also found himself hating the fact that they had found out far too late. He just hoped that the Order managed to save him in time. He had a lot of apologizing to do; he had been a horrible man. He had to do it because the Death Eaters would have suspected, but even he knew he went too far with all his shit. He could not even deny now, that he had hated Harry because of his father. He was calling Harry Potter "Harry" because he had earned Severus' respect. For once not against his will, he was unaware that his life was about to change. For once it was for the better and not for the worse which was something he could see happening when Harry died.
"Leave! And I will call you again some time soon!" hissed Voldemort.
