A/N: The build up process of this story will be quite slow. I want to take one step at a time and be cautious.

There was a thing,
That keeps me from breathing.
There must be.
For living without a reason is an entire waste.
There was a thing,
That haunts me to this day.
Maybe it is why,
I keep living like this.
And my heart is sad,
And my soul is crying.
For I desire.
But I do not know what I desire.
Oh I am tragic.

The Potions classroom looked the same as how it is hundreds of years ago. Though it was renovated after the war just like every classrooms and every rooms in the castle. It took years,It was a long process. Protective charms have been broken and everything was needed to rebuild and restored. The potions Master is on his way on his first class in this very morning. As he walked nearer, the familiar noises coming from his classroom can be heared. He grunted. The past three years have been difficult. Those years were the building process. And everyone was fighting for a new beginning. He flicked his wand and the door opened, the chattering and laughter have stopped. He scanned his first year students before walking towards his desk. Severus Snape barked to his students, gave instructions in a rapid tone, and that's how his usual day would begin.

Professor McGonagall, the current Headmistress, looked up from her desk to see Severus Snape standing in front of her. She put down her quill and gave Snape a questioning look.
" Potter send me a letter the night before." He said as he sat on a chair, his hands stiffly on his sides. McGonagall was not surprised that Harry is sending letters to Snape. After the wizarding world found out the truth behind Snape's action, respect and honor was given to him. And it's not a secret to McGonagall, the relationship between Snape and Lily too.
" What's the letter about? It must be important for you came to see me. "
Snape gazed at the far wall. Postponing his reply.
"Tell me, is it about….." She was staring at Snape. Curiosity written on her face.
" He was informing us that there's still not a clue to where the body of Miss Granger is."He said carefully.
McGonagall took a deep breath. "That is very unfortunate. The ministry is doing it's search for three years now…"
They were silent for a moment. The crackling of fire can be heared in the fireplace.
"Can we still find her Severus? She was at my house…such a great witch."
" I believe that Potter and his friend will do anything to find her body Minerva."
" You think?"
" I believe in Potter." He paused. "And on his friend."Snape stood from his chair. " I need to go. Poppy needs a lot of potions from me."He was opening the door, when McGonagall started to say something.
" Ronald Weasley is marrying Lavender Brown the day after tomorrow…" Her voice was sad. Snape paused. His back was on the headmistress. Something about her statement send pain to his heart.
" I see. But first love never dies Minerva." He left McGonagall's office feeling tired and frustration came to him. He walked his way to the dungeons. Is he happy now? His job as a spy was long gone. The Dark Lord was gone forever. The Wizarding world is at peace. But Severus Snape feels empty. His soul is hungry, his heart no longer beating. He opened the door to his apothecary, taking the ingredients he needed. He was there. He was there when Hermione Granger vanished. And that night will haunt him forever just like Lily's death .And everyday of his life now, the mysterious disappearance of her stays with him.
