*Angelic Layer*

Severus entered his room, dragging Hermione with him. She turned around and looked the girl right into her eyes.

"- Now listen to me, Miss Granger. I am going to let you see some of my past memories. I trust you enough, and I hope for you, that you would never, do you understand, NEVER, talk about you are going to see; If you have questions, or want to talk about these events, then come to me. Understood?"

Hermione was a little bit scared, and understood perfectly. She nodded.

On a whim, and even if it wasn't necessary, Severus took the girl's hand and drew her closer to him.

"- Don't loose yourself in my memories Miss Granger."

Severus brought his hand over Hermione's eyes, so she couldn't see anything. Severus concentrated and there they were, just as Severus remembered.

*Flashback*

Severus and Hermione were in a dark room with two people in it.

The two people in the room were Voldemort and a younger Severus Snape. When Hermione saw Voldemort, she pressed herself closer to (the older) Severus who still held her in his arms.

"- I understand Master, but how could it be possible? Would it not be easier to make a child and then raise him like you want? Some Strength Potion could give the child rare magical capacities."

"- No, Severus, you don't understand; it would be a child, nothing more than a human being. No, Severus, I want this creature. I want you to make it. I want to bond myself through."

The older Severus concentrated rapidly, and the scene changed.
