A/N After a long wait and a loss of interest of the books I will continue this for story sake. And I can't let anyone down now can I?
Disclaimer: I own nothing and that is the way it had intended to be.
Doppelganger
Chapter 2
October 7, 1996
Footsteps paced quickly about the hard stone floors. Once and a while the pacing stopped for a brief second and started again with its soft taps. This had been going on for at least an hour or so before finally the footsteps had finally ceased. Dark eyes traveled across the room worriedly. The dark eyes that matched with the figure so very well over the years, the man who gave little emotion, Severus Snape, was now trembling. What was he to do now, with the time drawing so near? He could hear the infernal ticking of clock for days now. A count down to determine where his future lied.
Tick...Tick...Tick.
It was probably too late for him. He should have told the boy straight away, on what was to happen. However now with the minuets coming so short he would not have much time. Just as Albus had said earlier to him, you cannot change the actions before it but you can change the outcome Severus.
A smile cracked his ever-serious lips. Severus. He had been so used to that name now, that he was starting to forget his actual name. Every once in a while he had to force himself that he was not the man that he was now. But it seemed a twisted joke that it ever happened in the first place. Becoming the man, you loathed for a long time, not ever knowing that you would end up being that man.
Oh the irony.
He always wondered on this moment. On how he was approach the situation or even not caring at all. In fact the selfish thought had gone through his head a million times. He should have not even dare to touch it and let time repeat itself. Let the idiotic boy go through what he had done. Let him experience the real suffering that he endured. The things that he experienced as a child were not up to the caliber of horrors that he endured.
Would this had been the real Severus Snape's thoughts about this? The doppelganger wondered alone in his private lab. The man had begun his pace again.
Tick...Tick...Clack.
The difference in sound mad him jump. He looked up at his clock. 2:14. It was time. His time was up. All those years of building up to this moment, and it was all up. The dark man felt a flash of fear and ventured out the door and up the corridors. He knew he was to late, too late to stop anything. The doppelganger made his way down the corridor going past the charms room. His black attire that he become accustomed to billowed behind him. It was then he had heard a sickening crack of glass and metal. Two students in front of him had gasped in bewilderment. Then suddenly caught the attention of their potion master.
"He...he's gone sir." The red headed boy said in barely in a whisper. "I dunno what had happened but he's gone! Harry's gone!"
A/N Fairly short but I will make longer. But anyway shocked not shocked. Its going to be a little different now is it.
