To Christina E. Lupin: Thanks for the review and I hope you like the rest of my story.
To Someone aka Me: I'm glad that you liked it. I was getting tired of reading stories that Dumbledore died due to some hex. Now things will be better for the Snape family.

To Severus Addicted: Thanks for the review.
To B00kw0rm92: Thanks for the review. None of the people that have read the last chapter would have expected me to kill Dumbledore off like that.
To SwallowKuraire: Thanks for the review.
To Celebwen Telcontar: I'm not going to be that cruel making Dumbledore a ghost. The Snape family really needs a break from him.
To imadoodlenoodle: I'm glad that you liked how Dumbledore died. Now wait until the next chapter and you'll find out a secret that no one knew about. And another at the end of the story.

To ginny75: Thanks for the review.
To PottersLittleSister: Thanks for the review and the thing about you not caring if it's fast. Of course I'm really trying to make it slow.
To jammies2000: Oh Lucius has a hidden reason for recommending Severus for the job. Don't let what Lucius did fool you.
To Xmen583: Don't worry about no one being around to protect the witches and wizards. Anyway Dumbledore doesn't really care about William and was very evil.

Chapter 37: Choosing New Classes
The Easter holidays came and it was time for the second years to choose the subjects that they would take for their third year. Hermione took the whole thing seriously but William didn't really know what he was good at.
"But you have to pick something," Hermione told him.
"Okay, I'll pick the Study of Ancient Runes and Muggle Studies," William said.
"Why those?"
"Because I know I won't have Ron," William told her.
"How do you figure that?"
"Because he's a dumb nut, that's why," William said. "I'm surprised that anything can get between those ears."
The news that Severus Snape was to replace Albus Dumbledore appeared in the Daily Prophet a week later. Both William and Hermione stared at each other when they finished. They were horrified when they read that Lucius had used his influence to get their father the position.
"I thought that Lucius hated dad for what he did in Diagon Alley," Hermione said.
"Me too," agreed William. "That leads me to wonder what his game is."
"Same here," Hermione also agreed.
The next Quidditch match would be between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. William wasn't going to play because their regular Seeker had made a full recovery. Hermione knew that he was upset about this and all the talking couldn't change his mind, or feelings, about being left out.
"So are you going to at least watch?" Hermione asked.
"No, I'll go and visit dad," William said. "But tell me what happens."
"Alright," Hermione said.
As promised William didn't show up for the match, but spent his time with his dad. He really hated what had happened to him and deep down he wondered what Lucius had in-store for his former friend.
"William," said the voice of Professor McGonagall.
William looked up at the temporary Headmistress.
"Yes," he said.
Professor McGonagall said nothing but sat down. She looked at Severus.
"I'm sorry about what happened here," she told him. "I never would have suspected that this would have happened."
"Were you here when dad came?" William asked.
"Yes, I was," McGonagall answered. "And I'll admit that I was hard on him. He wasn't in my house and so I didn't believe that I was responsible for him."
William was a little surprised by this.
"Why?" he asked.
"Because all the Heads are like that, except Sprout, and he was someone that I had heard knew a lot of hexes and curses. Not the good ones, I tell you, but I should have taken more of an interest in him. Dumbledore was like that as well, didn't really care for the Slytherin's like he did the rest of the students. He left school and sank into the Dark Arts. Even followed that liar, You-Know-Who."
This shocked William.
"He supported Voldemort (McGonagall flinched)," William said.
"Yes, but something happened and he came back to our side a year before your mother died."
William didn't know how to process all this.
"Look, Severus is a good man," McGonagall said. "He protected you last term and kept You-Know-Who from finding out all he could about what he had done to protect the stone. Don't let what I've told you keep you from continuing your relationship with him."
William nodded and McGonagall left.

"He supported You-Know-Who?" Hermione said.
"Yes, but I want the full story from my father," William told her. "I want to know what made him change sides."
"Do you think Sirius would know?" Hermione asked.
"No, and I'm not going to ask him," William said. "He'll probably say that McGonagall lied."
Hermione gasped at him.
"Why are you shocked?" William asked her. "He lies about everything."
"I know but this is the first time I've heard of someone wanting to make McGonagall look bad."
William looked at her.
"Well this is the first time I've had a real father that everyone seems to hate."
