Summary: Severus Snape is a private man. But what happens when his almost identical twin comes to teach at the school? And where does Hermione Granger fall into the story?
Prologue:
The halls of Hogwarts weren't the same anymore, since the war. The sense of security was shattered and stored away like some secret kept from incoming students. The war itself dawned on the dark night of the Halloween feast in year six of Harry Potter's stay, and Voldermort, almost invincible, came crashing through the enchanted ceiling like an angel inversely falling from hell. Severus Snape stood by his headmaster, his wand at the ready, the dark mark still burning daggers into his arm for not arriving at the meeting place he knew his fellow deatheaters would be. The war lasted only an hour. Not many fell at the hands of the deatheaters, whom the student body knew were coming. But those who did fall, were added burdens to Severus Snape's shoulders.
When the aurors came to clean the mess made by the student body, and picked up the ashy remains of the infamous Tom Riddle, the headmaster gathered his students outside, to the largest hill at Hogwarts, and they celebrated their win, and mourned their losses. Of the fallen were: Neville Longbottem, Argus Filch, Susan Bones, Millicent Bulstrode, the head of Ravenclaw house and Gregory Goyle.
The days that followed were slow and steady. The rogue deatheaters fled, and were captured soon afterwards, and all seemed well for the students and teachers at Hogwarts. Severus Snape sat in his sitting room, his lesson plans on his lap, and a glass of brandy at his arm. He waited for the headmaster to step through his fireplace, and tell him of the news of his surprise. He never expected him to bring who he brought with him.
"Severus, brother! It is so good to see you."
"Sarcassius?"
"Not happy to see your twin I see. Very well, I have news for you."
"Oh?" His anger was mounting.
"Yes, the headmaster has deemed me fit to teach, I will be starting in a few weeks, overseeing my old house, Ravenclaw. Isn't it wonderful?"
And at that moment, Severus lunged toward his brother, wrapping his hands around his neck, and squeezing. It was time for revenge.
