Surprise For A Future Potion Master

Chapter One: Back in Slytherin

Severus woke with a start, he was awake most assuredly, but where was he? He looked around and recognized the hospital ward but did not recognize the medi-witch who was caring for another young boy. "What the bloody hell is going on?" He asked turning over on his side and started coughing again.

"Severus! Stay on your back!" The medi-witch yelled at him

"Who are you?" He asked a scowl on his face.

"I am Poppy Pomfrey and you have had a terrible spill, tell me, what year is it? And how old are you?" She asked.

"1978 and I am 16 years old." He replied

"Unn hnn" the witch said slowly… "it's worse then I feared… I will have to get Minerva for this one."

"What's going on?" Severus asked suddenly scared for no particular reason.

"Severus, you are in the year 1998… here, you are 36 years old and teaching Potions." The stout woman informed him.

"That isn't possible, I was making a potion… to make things fire-proof and then…" Severus cut himself off. "Can you prove all of this?" He asked out of desperation.

"Hnn you stay here, drink some pumpkin juice if you feel like you can keep it down. I will be back in a few minutes." The woman left and Severus was indeed surprised to see the two people who came back with her.

"Professor McGonagall? Headmaster?" He asked quickly.

"Yes, Severus we are here. Poppy tells us that you are 16 again. How dreadful for a man to go through…" Albus told him.

"I was only making a potion and I blacked out and now… I am here… wherever here is…"

"Severus we believe the Potion you made let you travel in time… more accurately, the future… twenty years in the future." Minerva filled in.

"How can I have there was…" Severus started listing the ingredients in his head and sorting out what exactly had happened. The more he tried the more mental anguish it caused him.

"Severus, maybe you would like to go to the Slytherin dorms to have a good rest?" Minerva asked.

"Yeah, sure." The boy said absently thinking harder about the potion. He got up and began the motion of walking to the dorm on autopilot. It occurred to him that he didn't know the password to the dorm but the Portrait that saw him let him in without it. Looking up Severus saw a head of platinum blond hair… "Lucius!" Severus said too loudly. There was almost instant silence as the head rose and the body of a boy who was not Lucius turned and rushed him. A cold sharp object was held against his neck.

"What did you call me?" The voice bit out harshly.

"I'm sorry, you looked like a class mate of mine, Lucius is his name." Severus said looking into the eyes of the other boy trying to figure out who he was.

"You listen now and remember this, if you ever call me by my father's vile name again, I will not hesitate to slit you open and watch you die. Understood?" The boy asked pressing the knife harder against Severus' neck.

"Yes." Severus breathed out. The boy looked him up and down before letting go and removing the knife. Severus knew he had a small cut but not a bad one. "So as to avoid my death, what is your name, err… what you like to be called?"

"Draco, that's my name. And you are?" Draco asked.

"Severus Snape…" The blond boy's eyes grew wide in fear as he said this.

"You can't be… the Professor passed out in the middle of morning class…" Draco's eyes went down to slits and his voice barely above a whisper.

"Drey?" Came a soft voice from the crowd… "Drey, are you done threatening him or are you ready to calm down yet?" The voice it was so soothing, an arm came around Draco's waist and the head of a boy looking very much like one James Potter appeared over the blonde's shoulder. Draco leaned his head back to whisper to the young man, but let out a moan as the green eyes, soft voiced beauty nibbled on his earlobe.

"Harry everyone is watching..," The blond whispered so softly that Severus wasn't sure if he had heard it right or not.

"Like that has ever stopped me." Harry said spinning the blonde around and they seemed very contented to forget the people around them. Severus stared at the two as the rest of the room moved back to doing as they had been.

"Harry, stop I have a boyfriend…" Draco panted releasing the other boy. The raven-haired boy only glared at him.

"Like THAT has EVER stopped you before, Malfoy." Harry spat out. Turning his attention focus from the blond to the new boy. "What year are you in Sev?" Harry's voice was still laced with venom, but he was trying to control it.

"Sixth…" Severus said quietly as he caught the nasty look the dangerous blond was giving the other boy.

Harry made a motion for Sev to follow him and starting to walk away, Draco grabbed his arm. "Just because I love you both does not mean you can have me all of me all the time. It is unfair to him and you know it." His voice was low.

"Let. Go. Of. My. Arm…" Severus suddenly feared not only the blond but the other one too; his voice was so cold it almost hurt to hear the once calm voice that harsh and cruel.

"No…" The blonde said pulling the other boy closer. Harry put his hand on Draco's chest and pushed him away with a small but powerful repelling spell.

"Come along Severus." Harry said leaving Draco to lie on the floor where he had landed. The boy again began walking away. Severus followed in step not knowing which boy he should have stayed with, both seemed equally able to harm and or kill him.

AN: Hi I'm Serena, and I just adopted and edited two fics: Getting His Life Back and Surprise for a Future Potions Master. I have went throught and made a couple of changes with these 2 fics, so please bear with me while I try to incorprate what I will add to what has been started. With the two that I have adoped I'm going to try to slow down and smooth it out where it is a bit fast and rough to read. I don't feel that I handled the change over very well with this fic and the other one that I have adopted. I am very sorry, and I will try to do much better. I like reader interactions and value your opinions. I would also like to suggest if you like Flaming then I have a couple of ideas for you to use the flame for. Light a match for light to see by, to build a fire to roast marshmellows for smores or for the warmth it can provide. You could light a scented candle to relax by. I write different types of Genre if you have a problem with it don't read it and Please no Flames about it either. I posted this fic on my web groups. If you would like to check out the groups go to my profile the one marked Multi-Fiction is the one where I'll post all of my fics at. No one is perfect so please be nice. Constructive criticism is one thing but to be rude is not the right thing to do. I would like to thank everyone who has reviewed so far, and I hope that you will continue to enjoy my works keep reviewing.

Here is the are a few of the guidelines that I will be following:

Thanks,

Serena (Rena)
