"So Zachary what do you think of it?" asked 'Harry' as they entered
the Gryffindor common room.
"It's great. It feels like my home already."
"That's great Zachary," said Hermione with a large grin spreading across her face.
"Look 'Mione can I talk to you? Alone," Ron and Harry got the idea. While still in the doorway Ron gave him a thumbs up.
"What is it Zachary?"
"Well, Hermione I know we just met." This made Hermione start laughing. "I was wondering if youwouldbemygirlfrind."
"What was that Zachary? I couldn't understand you."
"I wanted to know if you would be my girlfriend."
She smiled, "I was wondering when you were going to ask me."
"Is that a yes?" she walked up to him and kisses him straight on the lips.
"Does that answer your question?" he smiled and nodded. He pulled her into a hug and they stayed like that until they heard people clapping from the doorway.
"Man you took long enough didn't you Zachary."
"Yeah, I guess so. You still haven't asked Lavender."
"I'm getting there."
"Yeah, right."
"Wait a second you like Lavender?" said Hermione as a mischievous grin spread across her face.
"Yeah and?"
"Oh this is good. You better ask her out soon or I might have to tell her myself."
"Ok I'll do it the next time I see her." He was hoping he wouldn't see her until tomorrow. The only problem was just as he said that, who should enter the room but Lavender. Ron got a look of shock on his face. "Um, Lavender?"
"Yes?"
"Can I talk to you?"
"Sure," they left the room. Hermione and Zachary sat alone in the room for about five minutes until Ron and Lavender entered the room smiling.
"I guess you guys are dating now?" they both nodded. "I see," Everyone in the room smiled to each other. "Well see you tomorrow."
"Good night." Zachary and Ron head towards the boys dorm while Hermione and Lavender headed towards the girls.
The next morning Zachary was talking to 'Harry' about everything that went on over the summer. He also told him about how he asked Hermione out. Everyone was surprised at how popular Zachary was. Considering he just started the school and he was the son of their least favorite teacher. He hadn't even had any classes yet and already had a girlfriend. Malfoy was already trying to get on his good side. All this was happening just because he was a Snape. He really wanted to speak to his father but he knew he wouldn't get a chance until after potions. He headed towards the potions classroom. When they got there they took their seats. They were in there for about five minutes before professor Snape entered.
"Today you will be making a color changing potion. The drinker, whatever they are thinking of, like their eyes or their hair will change to the color their thinking of and if they aren't thinking of a color it won't work." His father said this in the stern voice he hadn't heard the entire summer he spent with him. "When you're done it should be a clear, grayish color. Now, get to work." Zachary partnered with Hermione and they started on their potion. Zachary and Hermione were almost done when they turned around just to see Neville's potion blow up in their face. Zachary and Hermione were the only one's who got hit. They both got extremely dizzy and everything went black.
The next thing Zachary knew he woke up and found himself and Hermione in the hospital wing. He looked around and saw Professor Dumbledore was sitting in the corner talking to a boy about something. He specifically heard the word grandfather being used. He couldn't make out anymore of the conversation. Just as the boy turned to leave he realized who it was. It was his FATHER. His father must have noticed him staring at him because he turned to look at Zachary.
***Sev's POV***
I went down to the hospital wing because I needed to talk to my grandfather about something. I got down there and noticed two strange people lying on beds. They appeared to be my age and they were both wearing Gryffindor robes. I knew all of the Gryffindors, being friends with the marauders and all. These two I had never seen before. There was a boy with short black hair and a lightning bolt scar. He looked a little like me. The girl had bushy brown hair. Now I had something else to talk to my grand father about.
"Grandfather?"
"Yes Severus, how can I help you?"
"Who are these two? I've never seen them before."
"Neither have I. We'll just have to wait to find out when they are awake."
"How did they get here?"
"That's a mystery too. They just appeared in the entrance hall."
"How could someone just appear?" Grandfather just shrugged. "Well I guess I'm going to go. I'll see you later grandfather."
"Alright, bye Severus."
I turned to walk out and noticed the boy staring at me. I turned to look at him. He smiled as though he knew me. I smiled back and turned to walk out when I heard him speak. "Wait, don't go. I need to talk to you."
"Do I know you?"
"No but I know you. I need to talk to Professor Dumbledore."
"My grandfather?"
"So it was him?" he said this in a whisper but I still heard him.
"What was him?"
"Nothing, I'll explain later. Do you know where he is?"
"He's probably in his office. Come with me." He got up and followed me to my grandfather's office. We got to the gargoyle and I said the password 'jaw breaker' and we walked up the stairs. "Grandfather?"
"Ah yes, Severus back so soon. And who is this?"
The boy spoke. "I'm your great-grandson." I couldn't believe what I just heard.
"Could you explain please?"
"Well I was in my father's potions class. We were working on a color changing potion. Hermione and I turned around and were splashed with Neville's potion."
"And our father would be?" I asked him curiosity getting the best of me.
"Well you. Who else would it be?" I shrugged.
"So what's your name?"
"Zachary Snape."
"I see."
"What year is it?" he asked looking a little confused.
"1975 why?"
"You mean to tell me that Neville's stupid potion brought me and Hermione twenty years into the past?"
"I guess. You mean to tell me that I become a father in five years?"
"I guess. I didn't find out until this summer that you were my father. I thought that um someone else was."
"Who?"
"Do you really want to know?" he asked. If I asked doesn't that mean I want to know?
"Yes."
"Well you need to understand that it was due to circumstances that I wasn't able to be raised by you. Actually I was raised by my mother's sister and her husband."
"Are you going to tell me?"
"Alright I'm getting there. Well I had a glamourie on that wore off this summer. To make me look like him. It was James Potter."
"What why?"
"Well it's because you were a spy for your grandfather."
"Did you two completely forget I was in the room." We both jumped. We really did forget he was in the room.
"Sorry grandfather I guess we did."
"Ah it's ok. I think you two have a lot to talk about I'll leave you alone." He got up and left the room.
"So, how did you find out I was your father?"
"Actually, you wrote me a letter."
"Why would I do that?"
"Actually you weren't the nicest person to me. If you would have showed up at my aunt and uncles house and told me I probably would have freaked out and told you to get away from me. Your method actually worked pretty well."
"Exactly how mean was I?" I was really interested in the 'future' me.
"You were everyone's least favorite teacher. Except the slytherins you favored them."
"Darn, and that Hermione girl who is she?"
"Oh well actually she's my girlfriend as of the day before we ended up here. Before that she was one of my best friends along with Ron Weasley."
"So who's your mother?"
"I'm not sure if I should tell you who she is."
"Ah why not?"
"I don't know. I guess it wouldn't hurt to tell you. Is there anyone you think it would be?"
"Well there's my girlfriend right now. Her name is Lily Evans." He got this look on his face and I knew I was right.
***1995***
"I want to know where my son is!" said professor Snape to his grandfather.
"Don't you know Severus? Remember?"
"Yes I do but how am I suppose to get him back?"
"Why don't you make the potion to transaction Mr. Longbottoms? Then drink some of his and bring him and Miss Granger back."
"That could take months."
"Well I suggest you get to work." With that he left the room leaving professor Snape with his own thoughts.
"It's great. It feels like my home already."
"That's great Zachary," said Hermione with a large grin spreading across her face.
"Look 'Mione can I talk to you? Alone," Ron and Harry got the idea. While still in the doorway Ron gave him a thumbs up.
