Easy Way Out

Just want to start off by thanking those of you who reviewed. This is my first story so I am glad you like it! Also, I already have the basic plan for the entire story, but I could use some suggestions for relationships/friendships in the story. Let me know. I'll keep writing. Enjoy!

Last time:

My mind is a little fuzzy on what happened to me while I was still in my own body, but I do remember my friend, Godric, and I going into battle against my bastard of a father, the Dark Lord. I remember killing him and than…I don't remember anything else really. Strange, I know there was more. Why can't I remember?" Salazar ends in a whisper.

After hearing that, even Dumbledore is shocked into silence.

Chapter 6

Snape

"Let me get this straight, you don't remember anything that happened after you killed the Dark Lord?" Dumbledore asks Salazar.

"N-No I don't. I mean, I can remember feeling really upset. Who wouldn't after having to kill their own father? I got really depressed. But then- I'm not sure. Everything just gets really fuzzy and then I find myself waking up in a hospital bed in another person's body. Which really should be impossible. It raises all sorts of interesting questions like- Where is Harry Potter if I am currently in his body? Is he in my body? If he is- How did we switch? And most importantly-Is this permanent? Because I would really just like to get back to my friends now. Without me there Godric is bound to name the school something stupid."

"It seems to me that he already did name the school something stupid," a cold voice said from the doorway.

Dumbledore, Remus, and Salazar all turned to look at the pale, dark haired man before them. Salazar recognized him as the same man who had given him the mirror earlier.

"Ah. Severus there you are. I had wondered where you had gotten off to," Dumbledore said to the man.

"Excuse me," Salazar says, "but what did you mean by that? Has Godric already named the school while I have been here? My Goodness! Has word of the school already reached wherever we are?"

"Calm down young one. You're going to end up having a hard attack at this rate," Severus said almost kindly. "As for your questions. I'm afraid you are not going to like the answers."

"What do you mean?" Salazar asks worriedly.

"Well, the school you are referring to is actually the one that we are currently in. It is called Hogwarts. I am not certain how, but you have somehow managed to find your way over a thousand years into the future, and into the body of a boy who was apparently beaten by his relatives so badly that he took his own life. Lupin was barely able to get there in time to bring his body back to life," Snape said passively but with the faintest hint of guilt and regret.

Salazar's jaw dropped half way through Snape's speech. One thousand years in the future? Abuse? Suicide? Hogwarts?

Salazar drops to the floor in a dead faint.

Snape frowns as he catches the boy, "Merlin, this boy faints more often then Potter."

AN: (Insert evil cackle) Hehe. Hem hem. Anyways……So did you like it? I really hope you did. Cause I know I liked it. I know Snape seems out of character, but this is supposed to be a Snape mentor fic. Though I did go in a slightly different direction then I had originally planned. Sorry about not having Salazar go to Remus's house in this chapter but I thought I needed to get some explanations out of the way first. Next chapter though, I promise. Please review!
