Dark blood- Only four days, meeting old friends

READ THIS:)

Hello everyone! So now we are finally getting to the interesting part. How will Severus and Albus find life at Hogwarts? Will the students be able to cope with going back to life before the war? Will Harry find out who and what those two men in his dreams are up to? Can Severus really cope? Trust me these will soon be answered:)

I just want to point out a few things about this story. ONE. Severus (unfortunately) is not Albus' son. They just have a really close bond that resembles that of a father and son. TWO. The school is reopenning as a repeat of the previous students. What I mean is these are all the same people in each year so there are no new students, just the old wanting to make up for their year. THREE. There is in fact an even deeper plot line to this story. There will be action, suspense and darkness but right now I am just trying to get Severus aquainted with those at Hogwarts. So no evil battling just yet:)

"Aghh where is it!? I can't find the blasted thing!"

"Servine, what on earth has gotten into you?"

Servine turned sharply and glared at Albus, holding a black cloak in one hand and a tooth brush in the other. It was four days before the school would open and Severus was desperately trying to pack all his potions that he needed as well as any clothing he could find.

"Why are you calling me that here? We haven't even started for Hogwarts yet. It's absurd"

The name frustrated Severus to no end, especially since it went under with the understanding that Severus was actually Albus' son. Sure, he and Albus had a very close father-son relationship but to actually claim to be father and son was a bit too much. Why would Albus ever want a son like him anyway (if he had one).

Albus laughed, a very pleasing sound, "I am merely getting used to calling you that for when we go to Hogwarts. We wouldn't want me to slip up and start calling you Severus now, would we"

Severus huffed and put the cloak and toothbrush in a large suitcase. Albus was annoying-this whole concept was annoying. The fact that he and Albus would actually go back as different people was so ridiculous that...

He was nervous.

Severus Snape, most feared professor, ex-death eater and ex-headmaster was nervous. Nervous to go back.

Severus shook his head and put a neat pile of black clothes into the suitcase. There was no way he was nervous. It's probably just the venom still in my system, which reminds me I must pack those potions. I will remind Albus, lest I forget.

"Albus, please remind me to pack the potions for my recovery. I cannot afford to leave them here since we won't be coming back."

"Oh Severus, I see for once you have abandoned that ridiculous pride that prevented you from looking after yourself. I am very glad- our potions master has finally picked up some sense over these past few years. Minerva and Poppy would be proud." Albus chuckled and grabbed a pile of his clothes to put in the suitcase.

Severus snatched the clothes from Albus and glanced at old wizard. "I do not know what you are talking about. I merely think it would be wiser to recover quickly before I have a dizzy spell in front of the students. Or I explode a potion because I'm too busy lieing on the floor because I passed out or fainted. And I am very sensible. You and the other professors always doted over me too much, especially that nurse"

"Severus, the number of times you have returned from a death eater meeting has been the number of times we have Had to dote on you. Otherwise we would all be down one Severus Snape."

"Hmmph. I don't think you have any need to worry now anyway. I will make sure I take the potions, and I will make sure no student or professor sees me take them daily. I'll be careful" I was, afterall, his speciallity to be very secretive, having been a spy for so long.

Albus held up his hands. "I have no objection to you taking the potions in front of them. I just want you to recover quickly-you are the one, my dear boy, who laid down the rule that no one could see you. And I suppose this means you have decided to teach potions then"

Severus sighed and crossed his arms while facing Albus."I have thought about it and decided it would be better if I taught potions. You, for one are much better suited to teaching children how to defend themselves since you clearly know how to send them into dangerous scenarios in the first place and I am better at teaching potions. Merlin knows you cannot brew to save your life! I am much better and you know it!"

The twinkle in Albus' eyes grew and he grinned. "Child, the fact that I allowed Harry and his friends to go into, as you put it, dangerous scenarios does not mean I lack the ability to teach the children how to be safe. Or protect them for that matter. And I am not so bad at preparing potions. There were times when I had to brew some for you or you wouldn't have survived."

"But I am the best, youngest most talented potions master in the world. You have to agree to that" Severus smiled. Merlin when did that start to happen.

"I suppose I have to agree. You are young. Anyway, finish your packing and then we can head straight to Hogwarts"

Severus nodded and grabbed more necessary items to put in the suitcase.

Platform Nine and three quarters

The station was almost empty and it was strange to be catching the train a few days before Hogwarts opened without all the students and the exciting buzz that came with being surrounded by magic. It didn't bother Harry too much though. He soon saw the faces he was looking for.

"Hey Luna, Neville, Ginny! How are you?" As he gave each of them a hug and smiled.

Hermione and Ron (who had come with Harry-everyone liked going on the Hogwarts express) also gave the three a few hugs and soon conversation sparked.

"So you ready to go back now? Headmistress Mcgonigal has almost everything ready and sorted for us to get used to the routine. She also wants us to help out a bit" Ron explained.

"She also said it was our job to make the other students feel as comfortable as possible. Some have been through really traumatic times" Hermione said. Everyone's gaze fell to the ground. The battle and horrific rule of Hogwarts in the year before would never cease to plague them. They all had something to remember which they would rather forget.

Neville suddenly looked up. "Hey it was really nice of you to offer to take the train with us to Hogwarts. I mean you had to come out all this way only to go back again"

Harry grinned."that's ok. We love taking the train anyway and its great cuz we don't have any luggage this time. It's no problem for us. Plus the whole point of coming was to talk to you guys"

"Then should we get on the train then. It's going to start soon"

"Lunas right. Lets go"

And with that said, the group of now six boarded the train

Ten minutes later

"Alb-Alder, Hurry up or we'll miss it!"

"I-am-trying to keep up! You are running too quickly!"

"If you hadn't left the suitcase behind I *pant* wouldn't have to"

"Servine! Slow down or you'll hurt yourself!"

Servine sneered and looked behind him"Hurry up, you ridiculous old-"

Alder cut him off. "I see the train! Quickly now, before the door closes, Son!"

Servine growled at the false reference and practically leapt onto the train with the suitcase strapped on his back. Alder followed and tumbled onto Servine, knocking them both to the floor of the train. Behind them, the door to the train slammed shut. They had just made it.

"Father, get off me!"

Alder laughed and rolled off Servine. Servine lifted himself off the ground till he was on all fours, but ended up falling to his side, because of the weight of the suitcase.

"Here let me take the suitcase off" and Alder unstrapped it off his back. Now Servine just lay there on his stomach on the cold floor of the train corridor. The train started.

"Child get off the floor and let's find a cabin to rest in. Come on, up you get. There's a good lad"

As he pushed himself of the ground and dusted himself off, he glared at Alder.

"Stop. Treating. Me. Like. A. CHILD! I am not really your son, so stop acting like I am!" Servine hissed.

"Servine, if this is to work, you are going to have to act like my son. And besides, I have always treated you like this so I fail to see why it bothers you now"

"Hmmph. Lets just find a cabin and sit in it"
