Important-Author's Note; This is the first story I ever wrote. I trusted Severus Snape before I read the final book. I trusted him because Dumbledore trusted him too, but I also was listening to my instinct. I started this story when I first read the 5th book in 2003. When I read that book I came up with the idea that Snape maybe is related somehow to Harry's mother. After I read the 6th book I was sure that Snape was in love with Lily. Do not ask me why I believed that, I just believed it. Yes, Severus Snape is my favourite character from Harry Potter although I am not a Slytherin supporter.
When the final book published, I was crying while I read the "The Elder Wand" because I knew where the whole story was going. Every time I read the "Prince Tale" I cry like a baby because I can understand how he felt. Severus Snape is indeed the bravest man who Harry ever knew. I wrote this story with different story-line and events, but I changed it when the 6th book published. Originally, I had written that Dumbledore was alive, Snape died, and some characters who I had created had a different ending. However, when I started writing this story in English, I decided to change several parts of it.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS ORIGINALLY CREATED BY J. ALL RIGHTS GO TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS AND I CAN ONLY OWN THE PLOT AND THE CHARACTERS MADE BY ME. NO MONETARY GAIN IS MADE OF THIS STORY AND IS NOT INTENDED TO!

Note: The story begins after the death of Dumbledore and before his funeral
1. Sad News
"In great sorrow, we inform you, that Hogwarts' Headmaster Aldus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore passed away last night.
The funeral will be held tomorrow evening in the Hogwarts fields.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall headmistress of HOGWARTS SCHOOL of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY "
Total silence spread to the Hall. A young lady looked up to the person who read the announcement.
She didn't look so upset like her colleagues in the Ministry of Magic. She felt sad, of course, about Dumbledore's death, but also everyone who saw her could say that she was expecting something like that to happen. She laid back in her chair and she remembered the last time she saw the Headmaster of Hogwarts.
It had been almost a year since then; Dumbledore had travelled to southern France to meet her.
"Good evening my child. I am here because I need you " Dumbledore said to her.
"You need me, professor? Why? " she replied gently to him.
" As you know a new war is about to start so I am asking your help. I want you in few months to return in England and take your place as an Auror in the ministry of Magic " the headmaster paused for a while, trying to find the right words to express himself. "I also want you to help Harry Potter and his friends in their quest. I believe that you must find them and when the right time arrives to let them learn through your experiences. "
"But professor, they don't need my help. They have yours" she said smoothly.
"My dear child I won't be here forever. Promise me that you will help them " said Dumbledore.
Now, finally, she could understand his words completely.
The lady stood up and all the people in this room noticed that her hair was now down almost near to her knees and it was darker than usual. She went to her supervisor to ask for some days off.
"Now, finally the right time to reveal me has come. I haven't seen them for ages but now it's the time for me to find them…", she thought as she was opening the great door.
Minutes later she was outside of the building.
The right time has finally come, she would go again to Hogwarts. She would see them again. After all these years in pain and despair, she would see him again.
