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?

Chapter Five:

"Severus is that you?"

"What do you think?"

"Step into the light, brother, let me see you."

"Do not tell me what to do."

"You sound hurt, Severus, let me see you."

His brother stepped from the shadows, his bloodied and broken nose shown blue on his alabaster face. His hair was slightly matted down from what Sarcassius assumed was blood. His uniform vest was cut down the middle, and the shirt under it was torn sleeveless. He looked to his arm, the dark mark stood out like a muggle tattoo, the branding recent, it still bled.

"Well?"

"Well what, you're off the hook. Happy now?"

"What happened at the initiation?"

"Don't worry about it."

Severus made to leave.

"Fine, walk away. I don't care!"

Severus continued to walk away.

Present day:

It had been weeks since Sarcassius had begun his reign at Hogwarts. Many of the girls swooned over him, while most of the young male students commended him on job well done in the classroom. Severus was not jealous, he was relieved. Other than the extra detentions with students, he was very content with his more relaxed life. After the war, he looked to the now fading dark mark, its ink fading into the skin, like an old battle scar. It would never burn again, his fight was over. He thought back to all of the women he had to hurt, all of the families he destroyed. All the pain he had caused. It was behind him now..."his" debt was paid, it was time to lead his life.

A knock at the door broke him from his revelations. He shouted a quick "enter" and his brother walked through.

"Hello Sevvy. What have you been up to?"

"Don't call me that, leave my chambers."

"Why you've already invited me in, how about some tea?"

"I have none."

"Wine?"

"Don't drink it."

"Whiskey?"

"Only one sip left."

"Fine then brother. I just thought I'd come by to tell you of the detention I'd be having with your beloved."

"My beloved?"

"Yes. Hermione. Oh, I apologize, Miss Granger to you."

"And why does she have detention?"

"Oh, she was caught sleeping in my class."

"She no longer has your class Sarcassius."

"I understand that, this was weeks ago, but I postponed it."

"Over the past few weeks I have taking a liking to the witch, haven't you."

"Sarcassius ...leave her be."

"Why brother, where would the fun be in that. I just want to play, get my bat wings a little damp if you catch my meaning."

"Get out. Or I'll go to the headmaster and report you."

"Oh well go right ahead, nothing is out of the ordinary"

"Why must you torment me? I have done nothing to you."

"You have done nothing? You have done everything to me Severus don't you remember?"

"What are you talking about?"

"You know what I am talking about. After the fame and the glory, after she saw you for what you were, she still wouldn't come to me. I loved her more than you ever could, and she still wanted you. Even after you became a Deatheater Severus, she followed you around, and I followed her. And she never came to me."

"W-What?"

"I took her once Severus. I took her from you and Potter. I had her on the floor of the bathrooms. She thought I was you, well until the charm wore off. She was mine first Severus. And you stole her away from me, just like you stole everything else."

"You said that you hated muggles. You said the she was filthy, you said you hated her."

"I did. Only because I knew she'd never be mine. Well you know what Severus, I found my own muggle. You can't take her away from me."

"I do not love Hermione Granger!"

"I never said you did. But I will have her, she will love me, and you'll never be able to take her from me."

"For most of your life Sarcassius, you have been angry at me for this? For something I had no say in? How dare you!"

Severus moved to hit him.

"Do it and I will go to your Headmaster."

He retreated.

"Fine. I will go to him myself, and I shall tell him what you are trying to do."

"Try to prove it brother. In the meantime, I'll be off shagging your student. Have a nice day brother, and do say that we can do this again."

With that, he waltzed out of his office, leaving his brother in a state of confusion.
