Notes:

Severus felt like throwing up

Chapter 1: When time stops

Chapter Text

It was silence

The world was black

He no longer heard the voice of Harry James Potter

When Severus snape had gotten bit by Nagini he had thought that was the end

He and happy as happy you could be after you had gotten bit by a damn beast
But that was beside the point

He had done his part

His role was finally over no longer a pawn to be use and discarded over and over again

As he simply laid there waiting for what the end would look like

Once he open his eyes again

Memories he had once tried to forget

Memories of people who were long gone

And regrets he had buried inside of him

He wondered if lily had forgiven him for calling her a mudblood

Which was funny coming from him since he had muggle blood in him as well

Thought it wouldn’t matter any more

He ,Severus snape would soon be forgotten
A name in old books a man only those in the past knew

He would become a peice of history long forgotten

But a peice of Severus didn’t mind that
To him being forgotten was his salvation’s

Severus was now at peace bitter sweet peace

That was until bright light clouded his vision

So death was not just endless darkness?

Surprising

When the light faded

Severus sat up and took in his surroundings

It was a bright white room filled with medical supplies

Wait medical supplies?

So he wasn’t dead

Disappointing he thought with a frown

Looking around he saw a mirror

He wanted to see how bad he looked, getting up he felt a tad bit shorter

maybe it was from the potions? He thought with a shrug

 

Once he saw his reflection Severus felt like throwing up

This had to be a dream no a nightmare
Standing in front of him wasn’t his 38 year old self but instead it was his fourth year 14 self

Only his hair was a tad longer and a lot more greasy

“Oh have you finally woken?”

Turning his head swiftly he saw a old medical witch

“Hello dear” she said in a low but gentle voice trying to not make him even more scared
Be fore he had knew it to absorbed in his own mind

She had stepped closer
“do tell me what is your name so maybe we be able to find your parents”

Severus couldn’t find his voice

“You do have parents right dear?” Or she looked even more worried

“Are you an orphan?”

Severus had nodded that would be the better and smarter route to take since he

wasn’t sure his parents were even born yet

“Severus” he muttered out “Severus snape”

“Do you know where you are mr.Snape”? The old women asked

He shook his head

“Well my dear you are in hogwarts by any chance do you know how you ended here?”

“No all I know is my name and birthday” he said

“A case of memory loss then” she said under her breath

“Do wait here I will come back with the head master so we can sort this all out quickly”

Severus had nodded before asking “what is the date”

The women had stopped and look at him “it September 1 1942” she said and continue walking

Severus felt his blood run cold
But shit he definitely was going to throw up

He could be wrong but this was the time riddle was still a student right? Right

But before he could think the door open once again

The medical witch came back in with a older but frail looking man
Who was mostly bald with a few strands of black hair

“You must be Severus snape” the man said with a smile

Severus gave him a look that said obviously but that only made the man smile grow bigger

“I’m headmaster dippet Headmaster at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy

and this is madam Bridget”

The strict old looking women nodded her head at that

“Well mr.snape you certainly gave everyone quite the shock at yesterday dinner

“When you suddenly landed on one of the dining table”

“Quite a entrance if I must say” The man said with laugher

“So tell me mr.snape do you by any chance remember how or why you ended up here”
“Maybe a mess up spell or floo by any chance”

The man said grabbing a peice of his mustache with a curious expression

Severus frown he couldn’t tell them oh I’m actually a 38 year old

Man who ended up in his 15 year old self against his will

So Severus did what any smart and radical person would do

“I don’t know why or remember”

“I see” the headmaster had once again told him to wait why they talk it out

To see what they would do with him

The headmaster so gracefully decided that Severus would be allowed to stay at hogwarts

And complete his studies here

He would also soon get sorted into a house

Which is how Severus snape founded his self at the dining hall

about to get sorted again

In front of a bunch of students
Even thought he had already for sorted Severus found his self

Still anxious as if this was his first getting sorted he thought with a huff

And the one who would be helping him get sorted would be no other then dumbledore his self

Even from the dead dumbledore still find a way to torment him

Even if the man his self didn’t know it

Severus was holding his breath on instinct
As they placed the hat on top of his head

“Well lookey here “

“Sort me into raven claw”
He said giving the hat no time for it jokes

“Well hello to you as well”

“Who knew I be sorting sometime a second time nonetheless a time traveler”

“Get it over with” serverus hissed
The hat hummed and Severus felt the vibrations that came from it

“Of course you are a great fit for raven claw
“intelligent and very intuitive” the hat continue

“But not a good fit”

And Severus eyes flew up as far as they could

“What do you mean not a good fit?”

“ I don’t care if I don’t have any of the damn traits just place me into raven claw”

Severus said wanting to just rip this wrecked hat off his head

“Next time then?”

Before Severus could reply

The hat had suddenly yelled out

“Well…….better be slytherin!”

And Severus knew his fate was sealed

When the hat was took off of his head Severus was still fuming and his anger even increased more

When he saw dumbledore disappointed looked

He wasted no time walking alway and to his old hell

The slytherin table seen to had not changed much even if he was now in the past full of pure bloods,halfbloods and a few rare halfbloods
Each divided by rank

Since he was now a fourth year he would have to sit by them
But he then a voice
“Over here”
It was riddle the one who Severus had been hoping wouldn’t be here

Well at least in this time line

This Tom riddle was more handsome then he was expecting

If he had knew better he would had thought the boy would had actually been a pure blood by the way he carried his self

Severus knew he couldn’t refuse him the whispers only grew louder

He didn’t know where to sit till Tom riddle his self had made room for him

“Well why are you not sitting is something wrong”
Riddle innocently asked with a eyebrow raised but Severus heard a peice of anger in his tone as well

All heads were now turned and looking at him

“Maybe it would be better if”

“Sit”
Riddle has spoke and Severus would not be testing if this version of the dark lord

Was scarier than him

So sat he did

Riddle decided to take the time to introduce his cult

Severus saw many familiar but unfamiliar faces as well

Abraxas of course introduced his self first

And Severus knew a malfoy when he saw one

He look exactly like Lucius if he didn’t know better he would had thought they were the same person

Then there were Gaston lestrange
The boy had tamed brownish hair
Severus didn’t have to know the boy well that he was probably as crazy as all his relatives

“Welcome” the boy said with a sense of curiosity

Next was no one other then walburga black

“So tell me are you a mudblood? Judging from your name”

“A half blood” he had answered back he couldn’t stop his self from adding a little bit of bitterness into his tone

She had frown at that already looking disgusted at even paying him her attention

Severus wasn’t surprised in the sighest
He met to many of her in the future and her relatives
To anyone who wasn’t a pure blood
Turning alway from her quickly

There was Orion black
He had look naive but handsome as well

But severus couldn’t look at him for long the boy had reminded him of the black bothers

And he didn’t want to get stuck on the past again

So Severus bit his tongue
And was planning to at least get something in his stomach

 

So Severus correct? Are you setting in well? Especially after
yesterday”

Severus had look up from his small plate he had just finished finished

It was riddle

Severus had nodded finally looking up
“I can’t remember but I’m sure it was quite the fall”

That has gotten a surprising chuckle outta of the boy

“It was quite the sight” riddle had admitted

So tell me where did you get those bite marks from?

Severus hands went up to the mark
Was nagini bite still there?

Everyone attention was now on him

“I would had thought the healing potions they had given you would had made all wounds disappear no?”

Severus was now getting frustrated and annoyed with all these questions and especially ones he didn’t

Have the answers to

Severus had open his mouth to answer

But he suddenly fell mute

When he had saw her

There was a frail looking girl eyes alike to his
Own and similar dark locks to his own

She was Eileen prince
His mother

Severus was sure he was going to actually throw up this time
