Chapter 2
"Good Morning, passengers. This is your captain speaking. First, I like to welcome you all on flight Tokyo S49b. We're flying at a rate that is fairly high; 355 miles per hour. The weather is cloudy, but no sign of graying clouds. We be leaving London in approximately -now. Please be seated accordingly and luggage safely secured."
Severus secured belt after securing luggage with the help of feather weight charm; sitting like everyone else on the plane as it began to take off.
Once in flight the captain spoke loud an clear once again. "Once again welcome this your captain again, we now off. It is 10:30 am and if the weather continues to look up we will arrive in Tokyo fifteen minutes ahead of time. The weather in Tokyo is sunny and if stays that way we be able to see the city below as we descend. Cabin crew members will come around shortly to offer light snacks and beverage. Ill talk to you all again once we reach our destination. Please enjoy the flight."
While Severus was on flight at Hogwarts first period was in session. Of course, to the staff and students Severus being absent for one block period wasn't unusual. In fact it was so common because of the Marauder's pranks. So, when Severus didn't show up either for potions only two people frowned: one Lily Evans and one Azreal Carrow.
So he isn't here in potions either. I don't care, he most likely reading dark arts book in library, or still in the Slytherin dorm hiding from me…like he should I wont forgive him..
"Hey Lily," Lily turned her head to see James smiling at her, waving one hand.
Lily stopped in her thoughts and smiled shaking her head inwardly. There was no time to think about why Severus was ditching potions or classes. She smiled beautifully at James. "James," she returned back in same manner.
Beside her Mary McDonald grinned as if she won the lottery ticket. She encouraged her best friend, Lily to date the popular James Potter that every girl in Gryffindor wanted. The biggest present of all was that the Slyhterin, Severus Snapestopped trying to push Lily to believe him. He was snake! Snakes couldn't be trusted especially to be friends with lions and Mary was glad Lily finally saw that.
She blinked and grin wider looking at Lily with a knowing grin. "He asked you out to Hogsmeade?"
Lily giggled, nodding. "Yeah, I said yes."
The girls giggled in unison.
James joined his friends with a goofy grin on his face. "Looks like she said yes, this time, mate." Sirius said matter-fact smirk on his features.
"She did."
"Good job, James," Remus said genuine small smile; looking up at his best friend opening his potion book. With his "condition" having passed a week ago he was returning back to classes.
Peter eyes budge as he looked around. "Looks like Snivilious…
"Shut up. I don't wont to discuss that snake at the moment," James said interrupting Peter. "I'm too much in a good mood to care about him."
His friends Sirius and Remus didn't comment, Peter made a noncommittal grunt.
The rest of the class filled up the potion classroom.
He isn't here either... I checked the Slytherin common room, ask a roommate if he ws still in dorm, checked the infirmary…
Where was he? He was hiding somewhere..
Azreal thought quietly as he entered the classroom a little bit late with a tardy pass from Poppy. He took his seat in the back; left of Severus own. He started Hogwarts just few years ago and since that incident- his eyes briefly trailed to the front were Lily Evans sat with her partner Mary; ever since that incident he been Severus partner. Thst incident happened last year, but something else happened too and Azreal didn't know what. He glance back forwards as professor Horace Slughorn- potions and head of Slytherin entered the classroom.
"Alright," Slughorn said joyously; "let's get another exciting potion brewed." He smiled joyously looking at his students; eyes beaming as he had james Potter and Lily Evans two of his favorite popular students in this class period. "Today we will.."
Severus must have dozed off as he stretched; yawning. He rubbed his eyes briefly before looking out the window. It was undoubtedly evening, Severus dug out a book opening it; it was a simple non-magical book. A simple book, no, a textbook to be precise...
Gray's Anatomy.
Now, it wasn't uncommon for Severus to be reading a book. No, it was the fact that this particular book was a gift from Itachi. Severus remembered the day he received it.
A skinny young boy, messy sleeve clothes that were hand-me downs peeked inside the bookstore from outside. His black eyes were wide looking forlornly; he had no money to get new books.
"Gray's book. Hn, that is quite big book for young one.." Severus jumped and turned around eyes were now sparkling as he did a complete 180. "Itachi!"
Itachi smiled; flicking Severus forehead. "Hn."
Severus rubbed his forehead. "What was that for? And, Gray's book..yes, I really want to read it! You said, if I learn the human body and practice.."
"And, I don't go back on my word."
Severus shortly afterwards clutched Gray's anatomy in his little hands.
Severus flipped a page as he replayed that small memory; one of many that started his bond with Itachi Uchiha. Closing his book he got up from his seat to go to bathroom. He went back to his seat ten minutes later, but a turbulence; fortunately it was nothing serious. Severus picked up his book sighing relieved he was already seated with belt strapped around him. He opened his book again.
This wasn't the only book Itachi had brought for him. No, there were many; many more of them. For, example, Severus closed and mark book before reaching for another one. One he found unnecessary as he was six at the time he received it, but he didn't complain once he started to read it...
Wheels of Life: A users Guide to the Chakra system
Severus hands carefully took the book Itachi held out for him to take. It had a blue cover, title in large print and a shadow person with the chakra pathways aligned in different colors.
"What am I supposed to do with this, Itachi?"
"Read and learn from it, Severus," Itachi replied calmly.
Severus looked at the book once more and gave an incredulous look. "I'm supposed to read this and learn from it? Gee, you sure give me odd gifts, Itachi!"
Itachi chuckled flicked Severus forehead. "And, what was odd gift?"
"The knife you gave me," Severus pointed out cutely as if Itachi was insane or giving him; a almost six year old a kunai knife.
Itachi laughed, ruffling Severus hair. He straightened. "You better head home, Severus."
Severus grinned a little bit, nodding. He dashed off tucking book in his clothes as he headed to the house on Spinners End.
The book was by an amazing author, Severus loved reading it over an over similarly to the many other books, such as, Gray's anatomy- so engrossed within reading he almost, almost missed the announcement.
Back at Hogwarts, Azreal was getting more worried as it was now 7:00pm and every student was in the Great Hall. All, but one that was: Severus Snape.
Avery snickered. "Snape isn't here either, guys. Think he came to his senses and finally seen our way?"
"Don't know," Evans Rosier said, shaking his head. "He's a bookworm; always in a book. But, would be good if he did."
"I know, but we can hope," Mulicber said; sneering slightly as he looked towards Gryffindor table. "Bright side he hasn't been hanging out with that mudblood."
Azreal stood up from his seat and proceeded to leave the Great Hall and did so without much attention on him.
Lily saw the Slytherin leave the Great Hall and frowned. Severus wasn't in Great Hall again today, perhaps that Carrow Slytherin knew were Severus was and was just pulling a prank? That seem possible, she thought.
I mean Severus never misses classes or meals. Well, I don't care. We -
"Lily, Lily!"
It's not like they were friends anymore. Lily blinked then smile. "Sorry, Mary spaced out a bit. What you were saying?"
"I was saying we should write to our parents."
Lily tilted her head a bit. That she could do. Keep her parents informed and all. It was getting into month of April. "Yea, let's do that, Mary."
"Where you lovely ladies going?" Sirius asked grinning flirtatiously at Mary McDonald.
Mary rolled her eyes skyward. "Girls hangout, Black." She blew raspberry; "No boys allowed."
The guys at the Gryffindor table snickered and Sirius high fived with his friends. James smiled at Lily as he high-fived Sirius.
"She totally wants me," Sirius said grinning like a loon.
Lily and Mary headed up the Gryffindor common room, took stairs to their dorm room.
Azreal sighed for the thousand time as he exit Slytherin dorm- no Severus present. Where in the hell is he?
Later that night bored within the common room; rest students in dorms, Sirius idly on many sofas with his friends took out the Marauders map. His eyes widen comically as he looked through names, passages, locations of indiviauls within Hogwarts..
"James, guys... look!"
Remus put down his book, marking its page and went over to the lounge chair Sirius was sitting on. James paused in thinking about Lily and ran an hand through his hair; heading over.
"What matter, Sirius?"
Peter rubbed his hands together eagerly being the rat he was. "Snivelly!" He gasped for dramatic effect. "He isn't on map!"
James eyes widen looking a bit closer.
Remus blanched. Did something happened? He wasn't the cuase of it was he? No, wait Severus was probably just hiding in dungeons..
James coughed. "No need for dramatics, guys. He'll show up, it just Snivelly. He missed a week of school before."
That made sense. But, it hasn't been a full week yet for them to come up with that conclusion. After all, the last time Severus wasn't at Hogwarts was middle of Janurary and he was gone for a week, but that didn't stop the Marauders from bullying him when he returned.
"True," Sirius said, chuckling little bit darkly.
Remus went back to his book assignment, James went back to daydreaming of his girlfriend Lily, Sirius folded up the map and stood up to leave; whistling. Peter however, quietly left the common room and to those he called "ture friends".
Meanwhile Lily proceeded to write a letter to her parents.
Dear mom and dad,
Sorry, I haven't written. I arrived on train safely to school as usual. I've been so busy with school work and my friends, Mary that I lost track of time. As, I mentioned doing Christmas me and Severus had a falling out so we aren't on speaking terms right now, sorry. I know you asked of him in the letter. Apologizes, too, I'm replying to that real late as well.
How are you and Petunia? Is sister doing well..-
The letter started off and Lily continued to write leaving out "important details" -such as the fact Severus called her degrading insult -wizard term mudblood; the fact she now seeing James. Those important little details you know parents worry about.
Much later, presumedly students and staff all asleep except night classes, Dumbledore plop a lemon drop in his mouth; eyes twinkling. He sorted through the mail surprised to find amongst the mail a donation of $10,000 dollars. He hummed, now who could have been so kind? It wasn't the Malfoy's unless something was involved for them? Wasn't the Weasley's, no. Perhaps it was James parents? He always felt they would support James, but something told Albus Dumbledore the wisest wizard known in wizarding world Britain that it wasn't them either.
All that came with the amount of money was a small short brief note.
Dear Headmaster of Hogwarts,
Hope this is enough to cover my expensies at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I'm sad to inform you that I have longed left the school and only wish to repay you for your kindness.
There was no signature. There was nothing else in the brief note. It was as if the person had this planned out already and Albus Percival Wulfic Brian Dumbledore -what an extremely long name- will definitely find out who sent such a generous donation.
..
In the apothecary, Samuel was receiving the same thing except he knew it was from Severus. Simply by:
I hope this help you Samuel. I'm sorry I I couldn't stay to help out at the apothecary.
S.S
My word! Way too much, but thank you Severus. Come back one these days and tell me of your new beginning.
With that thought Samuel shrunk the pouches and placed them inside the box they came delivered in . He then shrunk the box and placed it on his person before closing shop and heading to the flat he owned. Though he could wait for the lad to return he was still going to contact the lad through owl ocassioally. That was start right?
Right.
Severus exit the plane, strolling luggage behind him as he waltz down the steps and to the ground. He was headed to the airport doors with a crowd surrounding him; busying themselves with their own luggage as they went.
He looked around. Itachi should be here soon. and, Severus Snape couldn't wait.
He took that plane and now he was out of London wizarding world and now he was on a new journey. One that would change his life for better or worst. One that was filled with-
"Severus."
I posted up poll on profile (Should Severus have implanted Sharingan?); I would really appreciate if you guys/gals vote. Just to let you know it wont change much of the story that I have planned out. Voting closed.
