Author's note: The first chapter was very small. So here's the second one for tonight:)


Severus sensed a small hand on his forehead. The hand was very soft. He smiled.

"Are you alright?" said a caring voice.

'What a soft and beautiful voice...'

He sensed now that a body was beside him. He frowned.

"Hello? Can you hear me...?" asked once again the voice, concerned.

Severus opened with difficulty his eyes and hissed. 'Wow... I feel as if the Hogwarts Express would have passed on my body!' he joked to himself.

"Ah! Finally you open your eyes! You frightened me you know!" the girl brought her hand that was on Severus forehead to her chest in a relief movement. She smiled warmly.

Severus managed to raise an eyebrow at the girl's behaviour but finished with a growled as he sensed pain on his face.

"You've quite lucky to be in this state. It could've been worse! I don't say you doesn't have any bruises... in fact you have a lot of them, but Madam Pomfrey will be able to do something with you easily enough, I think." Once again she smiled to him to comfort him a little and brought her right hand to the one on Severus chest.

He stiffened as he sensed her hand on his. Not that it hurt him, but he wasn't used to this caring behaviour. In fact, he wasn't used to any human contact at all. He didn't know if he had to be happy or angry. 'This girl I don't even know dare to touch me. How dare she?' He growled.

The girl laughed. "Do you only know to growl or you can talk?" she smirked.

He sneered at her. 'And she dare make fun of me... Who is it anyway, I've never seen her before... and I'm a prefect... I know almost everyone in the school...'

The girl blinked at the reaction of Severus but shrugged mentally thinking that the shock must have been hard for him. "By the way, I've asked Harry Potter to call Madam Pomfrey ... she'll be there soon." she smiled.

Severus was still feeling dizzy from the fall, and wasn't hearing well everything the girl was saying to him, but he definitely heard the 'Potter' part. He frowned. 'James Potter. It had to be him who asked for help. He might even never come back and let me here by myself.'

The girl saw the hate look on the face of Severus. "Aw come on. I know you Slytherin don't like us Gryffindor, but we're trying to help you... You could, at least, try to be...happy?" she sighed.

"Potter will never have my respect, whatever he do." He managed to say trough his teeth as he tried to sit, keeping his posture with his hand on the floor that support him.

"At least, I know you can talk now." she smiled.

"Are you only able to smile, stupid girl?" he barked.

The girl seemed hurt by his comment. "I could have let you there alone you know... but I helped you and tried to comfort your inert form knowing that somehow you could hear me. I put some basic charms on you to heal some wounds only to leave the one I couldn't to Madam Pomfrey and you call me a stupid girl? How dare you? And who are you anyway, I've never seen you before in the school!" she shouted back.

"I could say the same thing for you!"

"I asked you first." She folded her arms and waited for an answer.

"Severus Snape. Prefect of Slytherin. I can tell you that you're in big trouble now and that I can take points from your house because of you lack of respect to a superior."

The girl blinked twice and started to laugh out loud.

"What's funny girl?" he spat.

The girl wiped a tear on her face. "At least you could have come with a plausible answer. Severus Snape? What a joke!" she started to laugh again.

Severus was now very angry. How dare she laugh at me? "And why is it so funny that I am Severus Snape?" he glared at her.

The girl stopped to laugh and began to look at him quizzically. Severus felt pretty uneasy with her gazing at him.

"...What?" he tried to sound the most angry he could and not puzzled as he was really.

"Well... Severus Snape... I mean... Professor Snape teaches us potions and he is in the head of Slytherin house... You just can't be Professor Snape..."

Severus frowned at her. "Are you crazy or something? I think you should go to Madam Pomprey... not me..." he raised an eyebrow.

Just as he said that, Harry Potter came back to her friend followed by Madam Pomfrey who gasped at the sight of the dark hair boy.

Severus looked at Madam Pomfrey and frowned. 'She looks older...'

"Mr. Potter, go to you dormitory. Thanks for the help. Miss Granger could you summon Dumbledore to the hospital wing, please?"

Hermione stood up and nodded to Madam Pomfrey and ran to Dumbledore's office.

Madam Pomfrey kneeled in front of Severus and looked at him quizzically.

"Severus...?" she asked uncertain.

"Yes...?" he answered, surprised of her question.

"What happened to you?" she asked bewildered.

"Erm... I bumped on someone and fall this entire staircase... it would seem."

"No... I mean. Your age...?"

"What? My age?" he began to lose his patience. He had very little patience... unless it was for potions.

Madam Pomfrey look at the little broken talisman Severus had attached to his neck and began to understand. "In which year are we, dear?"

Now, this was really beginning to be irritating. "1977. Why are you asking me this question?"

She looked at him in the eyes and, unfortunately, she knew it was the most plausible situation. "Only to know if you still knew who you were. A formal question... after the hits you've had on your head, you could have some amnesia." She forced a smile.

He frowned. "Indeed..."

"Now drink this, this will ease your pain a little." she brought the little fuel to his mouth so he could drink and fell instantly asleep. She lied to him, but it was the better way she thought she could brought him to the hospital wing without let him see all the new stuff in the school since the last twenty years.

"Poor boy... This gonna be a big shock..." she muttered a levitating charm and brought him to a bed.

Hermione arrived in front of Dumbledore's office and muttered "Lemon sherbet". She knocked on his door and heard a voice telling her to come in.

"Professor Dumbledore...?" she said opening a little the door so only her head was in the doorway.

"Please, come in Miss Granger. What is the reason of your visit?"

Hermione closed the door behind her and turned back to Dumbledore only to see that he was not alone.

"Professor Snape." she bowed a little her head to greet him.

The professor returned the bow in respect.

"Am I...disturbing something important...?" she asked in a tiny voice.

"Not at all, dear." he smiled warmly at her.

"Okay then... Erm... Madam Pomfrey is summoning you at the hospital wing."

"And why is that... Do you know?"

"In fact... Not really. I found this dark hair boy from Slytherin... Boy that I've never seen before, by the way, that was unconscious on the floor. So I ask Harry to go search Madam Pomfrey and I went helping him. He woke up, we talked a little... and he finished by saying he was...you...Professor Snape. But... it was weird. He said that he was a prefect... That was really weird... the impact must have been hard... I guess." she managed a weak smile. "When Harry came back with Madam Pomfrey ...she asked me to summon you... this is all I know."

Severus glanced at Dumbledore uneasily and Dumbledore only nodded at Hermione's.

"You may go to your chamber Hermione. Thank you for your great help."

Hermione nodded, said good-bye and did as asked.

Dumbledore turned to Severus. "Severus, my friend, I think you should go to your room. If what you told me about your new memories is true and that this boy is really you... we will have to do something... I think it is good you do not see...each other... for now." Dumbleore put more importance on the 'each other' knowing that it was strange because they were a unique person... in different time of his life.

Severus only nodded and went to his personal room with a lot of questions running trough his mind.

Dumbledore was sitting near the bed of the young Severus and was amazed to see him again like this. He had almost forgotten how shy and fragile he was back then.

"So it is true? It is really our Severus?"

"It seems so."

"Poor boy... But what we're gonna do, Albus? His time-turner seems broken... It must have shattered when he fell..."

"I do not know right now. I guess... he will have to get use to this new period... He will need a new identity though and maybe putting him in another house would not be bad, what do you think?"

"Might be an idea... but what do we do with... potion class?"

"I guess he will have to take them."

"Isn't it dangerous to meet... ourselves?"

"It is indeed dangerous... for the young one I think. But our Severus is well aware of what is going on because it is all in his mind. Everything new to his old-self appears in mind. The young one might me shocked... but maybe he will not do the same mistakes he did and have a better life."

"But we will not have a spy anymore..."

"I do care more for Severus than him being a spy for me and I thought you did know that. We will just put his memories in a pensieve so he will not forget them. The information we have will be enough."

Madam Pomfrey nodded.

"As our Hermione and he already met, I will put him under her care. She'll be the only one to know his true identity."

"Are you sure it is wise, Albus?"

"He already told her who he was... She will suspect something. This girl is pretty clever. We are better telling her the truth first and have her helping us. I will talk to her tomorrow. I will let you take care of our young Severus now..." he smiled and left the hospital wing.
