None of these characters belong to me, totally JKR's. The plot however--Mine. Oh and i dont own the Harry Potter fandom nor do I make money off of this. It's just a writing exercise.

Hello Readers!! Thanks for all the reviews!!
So. I realize that some people are a bit confused at this point. I updated with this small bit so that we can push past that.
Severus has in fact died. The setting isn't heaven or any other kind of utopian after-life, it's about reincarnation. Severus has gone on to his next life rather than remain on earth as a ghost. As for Hermione I will explain here just so no one is confused: She is several years behind Severus because she died later than Severus. How you ask? Well you'll just have to read on! XD
Thank you all for reading ^.^ Please keep reviewing and leaving me questions. Don't want anyone to wander around confused. Onto the story!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another miserable year. Severus Snape stormed from the great hall after being harassed by the divination professor yet again. The woman had a queer fascination with death and destruction. Normally her morose predictions were limited to whoever sat beside her, today however she had singled him out and sworn rather loudly that the cause of his undoing would be arriving at Hogwarts in a fortnight. Ridiculous. Everyone else at the head table had gone silent, her cackling overruling their pre-term discussions. He hated to be stared at, especially now that the apprenticeship was almost over and these people would soon be his colleagues. As the runt it was going to be hard to demand any respect.
“Is something bothering you Severus?”
Severus tried not to glare as he whirled around to face the headmaster. He was a meddlesome old man but Albus Dumbledore had kept Severus alive during his school years. The man had been like an unwanted surrogate grandfather, protecting Severus from bullies as well as his own darkness. It was his idea that Severus take the apprenticeship in the first place, giving him time away from his broken home-life as well as a means to make money.
“Bloody harbringer of death. Why can’t she just leave me alone?! Talking about my undoing as if she were anything but a lying old bat,” he growled.
Albus smiled, laying a hand on Severus’ shoulder. He’d had his suspicions about Trelawney’s prophecies. She had after all predicted the fall of the last dark lord. Albus had a notorious knack for meddling and he had the gut feeling that Severus’ undoing WAS on the way to Hogwarts. A month ago he’d gotten permission from the Minister of Magic to participate in what Muggles called an exchange program. The first person to volunteer was a young English witch who attended Beauxbatons most of her life. A sixth year and head of her entire school, Hermione Jane Granger would be the first exchange student to attend Hogwarts.
From what he heard on the grape vine she was the ugly duckling of the group, choosing to study and earn her way through merit rather than appearance. She wasn’t exactly unattractive though by the looks of her picture. Lily Evans had been quite the beauty in comparison, from the chill in Severus’ voice whenever he mentioned her though he assumed that particular relationship hadn’t gone over well. Perhaps this girl would be a better combination for him.
“Now, now Severus. One’s undoing is a scary thing…but you must not fight it,” he said wisely.
Severus glared at him and tapped the painting leading to his rooms, slamming the door soundly behind him. He hadn’t changed much since his childhood. Still sullen, still temperamental, and still so easily bothered by people’s opinions. Dumbledore smiled merrily to himself as he made his way back to the hall. He wondered how Miss Granger would handle such a personality. It would certainly prove entertaining to him and the other professors. With so many things on Severus’ Hogwarts could very well turn into a sort of battle ground.
“Let the games begin”
