A/N; When I did the Goblet scene, I knew Snape would be still be in trouble with the Dark Lord, and after thinking about the worse case scenarios for what to happen to him, I decided to do this.
Also I don't own Harry Potter and please review.
Great Hall
By dinner the next day, the large room was noisier then all the years combine, especially with everyone talking about two Witches and one messy hair Wizard. "Great I didn't think telling the Headmaster the name we were using is fake would cause this much trouble." Harry grumbled as he tried to eat with lots of stares towards him and his family.
"You had no choice, Professor Snape was in a bind, and this was the only way to help him." Hermione suggested as another spoke.
"I still don't believe you help Professor Snape, after all he did to you." Ron cautiously whispered.
"I know Ron, but Professor Snape has his reasons to act the way he did, even though it had meant hurting me and those I care about." Harry sighed as he looked to the Head Table, to find his Potion's Professor missing. "I wonder if Professor Snape was called again." Harry wondered, as his daughter suddenly looked worried.
"Great I need to go now!" Lilly yelled as she quickly up from her seat and ran out of the room.
"Don't tell me Lilly going to another assignment." Harry grumbled, as he looked worried for his daughter.
Riddle Mansion
A scream echoed about the Dungeon-like throne room, as a snakelike Wizard sent a Torture Curse at a screaming Wizard. "How dare you ruin almost a year worth of planning!" Voldemort angrily hissed as he removed his Curse.
"My Lord, I tried to write their names, but every time I did, they immediately change to the false names." Snape painfully inform his master, but hit again by the Curse.
"Crucio!" Voldemort yelled sending his servant screaming again. "You fool, I know you could have found a way pass that blasted enchantment, and this is enough proof that your Loyalties are not with me!" Voldemort yelled as he again removed the Curse.
"My Lord please give me another chance!" Snape begged as he tried painfully to get up.
"I already gave you all the chances you deserve Snape, you were once my strongest Ally, but now I am having too many doubts of your Loyalty to me." Voldemort angrily hissed as his servant looked directly at him.
"Well if I die, I hope to see you in Hell Tom Riddle!" Snape coughed out blood, splattering on the Dark Lord Robes.
"So be it Snape!" Voldemort glared as he pointed his wand at his Servant face. "Avada Kadavra!" Voldemort shouted, sending a green spell at the glaring professor, whom immediately fell to the ground dead.
With his Servant dead, the Dark Lord looked to those shaking before him. "Look like we need a new Potion Master, you lot go and kidnap me another one." Voldemort commanded, and as his followers left, no one notice the body on the ground disappearing from the room.
Unknown Place
In white room, that seems to go on forever, an oily hair professor looked startle. "I would have thought Hell will be more life threatening." Snape thought as tried to look around, but only saw white for as far as he could see, until a young woman appeared before him. "Lilly…" Snape started, but a voice cut off.
"I am not her, but you may call me Lady Mercy." Lady Mercy firmly informed the startled Professor. "You are lucky Lady Reaper is on another assignment, or you will not be here." Lady Mercy warned as the professor gulped.
"And may I ask is where here is?" Snape wondered as the young woman looked to him.
"A special Plain, that is between Life and Death." Lady Mercy firmly informed gulping professor, as she walked around him studying him.
"And may I ask why I am here, instead of Hell?" Snape wondered as the young woman stopped before him.
"Actually Professor I believe you have a cell in Purgatory Prison waiting for you, but if you are interested I do have a proposal that could benefit the Light and yourself too." Lady Mercy suggested as the professor look unsure.
"May I asked what is this proposal before I decide to do it?" Snape wondered as the young woman looked directly at him.
"I can revive you just this once, but under two conditions, which will clear the way for you have a better Afterlife, when you die again." Lady Mercy suggested, as the professor looked lost in his thoughts for a few minutes before speaking.
"May I ask what these conditions are?" Snape wondered as the young woman nodded.
"One is to change your attitude towards teaching, and second to be friendlier to a certain student." Lady Mercy firmly suggested, as the professor sneered at her, when he realize who the certain student was. "If you follow these conditions to the letter, I can make sure you live far longer then Riddle did." Lady Mercy firmly informed the professor.
"Lady Mercy, what if say I decide to do what you ask of me, but continue my old ways." Snape wondered, as the young woman glared at him, he quickly stepped back.
"Then Lady Reaper will see to it that you don't take another breath the second you break my conditions!" Lady Mercy firmly warned as the professor gulped.
"Before I decide, what about my spying on the Dark Lord, would I still need to do it?" Snape wondered as the young woman shook her head.
"I can release you from the Dark Mark, so you don't need to worry about being summoned by Riddle." Lady Mercy firmly informed the professor whom again was lost in his thoughts before speaking.
"Fine if doing this will allow me to have a better Afterlife I will do as you wish." Snape relented as the young woman smiled.
"I will be looking forward to see how much you change Professor." It was all Lady Mercy said, before a bright light hit the professor eyes.
Hogwarts/Hospital Wing
The Headmaster of Hogwarts sat beside a bed his once twinkling eyes now sadden as he looked to his fallen friend. "Severus I am so sorry." As Dumbledore cried into his hands, he almost missed hearing a voice behind him.
"Headmaster, why are you crying?" Lady Mercy smiled as the Headmaster turned to her.
"Lilly…" Dumbledore started to say, but was interrupted by the now older Witch.
"Headmaster, when I am like this, please call me Lady Mercy." Lady Mercy gently suggested as her Headmaster nodded. "Now the reason I am here, I am giving Severus a second chance to live, but under two conditions, of which he must follow or his new lease in life will be immediately forfeited." Lady Mercy warned as the Headmaster looked to her.
"May I ask what the conditions were?" Dumbledore wondered as the young woman smiled.
"Now that would be telling Headmaster." Lady Mercy smiled as she started walking away. "But I am sure Severus will tell you." Lady Mercy grinned before she disappeared.
With the young woman gone, the Headmaster shook his head. "Great the Potters are going to put me in an early grave." Dumbledore then cringed at all the abilities he witness from the young family. "Oh well I am glad I am not one of their enemies." Dumbledore stopped as he saw his young professor gasped for air, as he quickly sat up from his bed.
"Oh great, I now owe another Potter a Life Depth." Snape gasped out, as the Headmaster looked to him.
"Severus, I am glad to see you among the Living." Dumbledore smiled as his professor caught his breath.
"Albus, I don't know I should be grateful for what Lady Mercy gave me or I should just get my Will written now, since I am not certain I can meet her conditions." Snape sneered at the thought.
"Severus, I am sure you can easily do what is needed to fore fill your promise to Lady Mercy, but please can you tell what happen?" Dumbledore wondered, and his professor told him.
In no time, the Headmaster brought up to date and he smile. "Hmm I think this might be interesting to watch, since now you can scare your students by actually being nice to them." Dumbledore smiled as his professor shook his head at the thought.
"Very funny Headmaster, you do know this will ruin my reputation I been building up, since I started teaching here." Snape sneered as his Headmaster grinned.
"Well you know the saying change is good, maybe it is time for you to change your ways, and start living for the better." Dumbledore suggested, as his professor looked unsure.
"It's like I have any choice in the mater, Headmaster." Snape sighed as he lay back down on the bed, not wanting to think of what he just gotten himself into.
"Severus, I do hope you will try to change, since I really don't want to see you dead again." Dumbledore suggested as his professor turn away, the Headmaster left the room, to give his professor some time to himself.
