It was a long flight, but finally, she arrived at the lovely Hogwarts. It was an average first day at Hogwarts. The first years had come in over the lake and about to be sorted into their houses; Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, and Hufflepuff.
"Hmmm... let's see now, SLYTHERIN!" Shouted a raggedy old hat. It was the sorting hat of Hogwarts! The Slytherin table cheered as the other three hissed at the child.
"RAVENCLAW!" The hat heaved again. "GRYFFINDOR!" the crowd cheered again except Hufflepuff.
It was the Sorting Ceremony and all of the 1^st years were being sorted into the four houses. After the ceremony, Dumbldore stood up. The crowd went silent and everyone was looking at him. "My friends, I would like to announce that we have a new music professor. Professor Snake." He said looking at Severa who was wearing a green dress. "Please, do say hello, Professor." Dumbldore said slightly pulling her up to greet every one.
"Hi," She said looking around. Then she looked down the staff table. She saw that she didn't know any of the faces staring back at her. Although, two looked familiar to her, the man with the shoulder length greasy hair, black eyes, and pale skin and the man with the short brown hair, glasses, a bit more skin color than her or Severus had, and sort of hazel/brown eyes. Could it be, she thought. Severus? And, Ryan? No, no, it can't be. Severus and Ryan were her two best friends from when she was a young wizard at Hogwarts and lived with her in her cave every summer, until they left her, she met Severus on the Hogwarts express and they gained certain, feelings for each other. However, Ryan, she had known almost her whole life. The trio had departed at the end of their 7^th year when Snape went to train to become a Hogwarts teacher, and Ryan went of to study muggles so he could be a muggle studies professor; neither of them told her where they were going, because Ryan didn't
know where he could study without being studied, and although Severus knew where he was headed first, he knew he wouldn't be there long because he had to travel all over the continent (and maybe even a few other places), to get information all the potions he needed to. A month later, Maybe it is them. But how do I find out for sure? So, she thought for a while. "Professor?" she asked Dumbldore.
"Yes?" he replied.
"I was wondering, could you tell me all the names of the staff from right next to me to the end? I haven't gotten to meet them yet." She said.
"Oh, of course. McGonagall, Binns, Flitwick, Hagrid, Quirrel, Snape, and Crowther."
Snape! Severus' last name! And Crowther! Ryan's last name! It must be them! Finally, I've found them again! "Thank you." She said.
"Just come to me if you need my to refresh your memory." He told her and she gave him a nod with the slightest smile.
Wait! Maybe they're not Severus and Ryan. They could just have the same last names as them. She thought to herself. Don't get your hopes up!
That night, she couldn't sleep. So, she left towards Dumbldore's office.
"Sir?" She said peaking her head through the doorway. Lucky for her, Dumbldore was working on something so he was still there.
"Yes, Severa?" he replied cheerfully.
"Um, I was wondering. What are Professor Snape's and Professor Crowther's first names?"
"Why do you ask?"
"They look like old friends of mine whose last names are also Snape and Crowther."
"Oh yes, now I remember. You three were quite the trio at the end of your 4^th year and remainder of your stay here, and I had just gotten the position for headmaster. Of course you and Severus seemed to get along at the start of your 4^th year." He said causing Severa to gain color in her face. "Normally I'd tell someone who asked me that to ask him themselves. But, given the circumstances, I will make an exception. Their names are, Severus, and Ryan." He said smiling at her.
"Thank you." She said returning his smile and turning to leave. When she reached the door, she heard Dumbldore call her name after her. "Yes?" she said looking at him.
"Severus and Ryan are very lucky to have someone like you who remembers them." He said smiling. She smiled back and thanked him.
She went back to her room and got into bed, but she still couldn't sleep. Therefore, she decided to take a walk among the school grounds. As she was walking with her head down deep in thought about Ryan and Severus, she bumped into some one and feel over. She couldn't tell who it was because it was so dark, and he didn't seem to be able to tell who she was either.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there, Professor-" She began.
"Crowther. Professor Crowther. How ever I assume you're a Professor yourself because your out of bed at this time, if that's true you may call me Ryan. If that isn't true then your in big trouble." He said with a slight smile showing that he knew she was a professor and he was just teasing.
"Hi, Ryan. Do you happen to remember an old friend named, Severa?"
"Yes, Severa was always a good friend of mine. I cared for her deeply like a brother cares for his little sister. Are you one of Severa's friends yourself?" He asked her.
"Come over here," she said grabbing hold of his arm and leading him over by a window where the moonlight shone in. The she stopped in front of the window and looked at him. "Do know who I am now?" she asked him hopefully.
He looked at her hard trying to recognize the face. Trying to remember who she could be. After about 2 minuets, he finally remembered. "Severa!" he said in a loud whisper. She smiled and gave him a slight nod. "Oh my God!" he said again in a loud whisper and hugged her for a few seconds then looked at her smiling. "Hey, when'd you get glasses?"
"About 2 months after you and Severus left." She said. "Do you think Severus'll remember me?"
"Of course." He replied. "Well I better go back to bed."
"Yeah me too, don't want to fall asleep in the middle of class. Or else I'll be awakened by an obnoxious trumpet or bass drum. Or worse, a squeaky bass clarinet.!" They both cringed as if they had heard some thing awful. Their old enemy Ben Iberle had played the bass clarinet. Ryan had beaten him up and left him. When no one else was around, Voldemort had come over to Ben, sucked his soul right out of him, and left his lifeless body to rot.
"Hmmm... let's see now, SLYTHERIN!" Shouted a raggedy old hat. It was the sorting hat of Hogwarts! The Slytherin table cheered as the other three hissed at the child.
