A/N Thanks for the reviews. Sorry it’s been a couple of days. Had a lot going on. I’m working two jobs now and trying to juggle those plus story isn’t easy, plus I’m getting sick (Ewww right?). Anyway… Here’s chapter 2
Chapter 2
Sitting in his rooms Severus spent his final morning before the students arrived trying to piece together the last couple of months of his life. ‘How am I still alive?’ He thought, drinking his tea and attempting to look over his syllabi for this coming term. ‘I should have been dead. I should not be here today.’ Severus sat in silence for a few moments trying to think back to his last memories from that night. The last thing he remembered was giving his memories to Potter and then everything went black. He thought to himself, ‘Who cared enough about me to save my life?’Meanwhile, in Hogmead, all the students were getting into their modes of transportation to take them to the castle. The first years, of course were in the boats with Hagrid getting to see the beauty that is the castle at night. Harry, Ron and Hermione were in one of the thestral drawn carriages along with Luna. Harry and Hermione sat next to one another just so Ron had no choice but to sit by Luna. They were all chatting about classes they wanted to take. Hermione was the first to talk about potions class. They all needed it for their fields they wanted to go in, except Luna, who wanted to write for the Quibbler. Harry and Ron wanted to be Aurors and Hermione wanted to become a potions mistress. Neither of the boys understood why.
After arriving at the castle the first years were kept in the hallway and the older students were sat at their house tables, waiting for the sorting ceremony to begin visiting with their housemates.
Severus looked up and realized the time and began to walk up to the great hall to join the rest of the school and staff. Being a head of house he had no choice but to be there. He managed to slide in through the staff entrance without bringing attention to himself, there was so much noise coming from the students, no one payed him any mind, which he was grateful for. He was sure Albus would bring enough attention to him shortly.
Albus Dumbledore stood at his podium, pointed his wand to his neck and said “SILENCE” very loudly due to the amplification charm. The room quieted very quickly. He nodded to Minerva to let in the first years. She opened the door and showed them in and walked up nest to the podium where the headmaster was standing. A lonely bar stool sat just in front of it with the sorting hat placed upon it. Professor McGonagall then started to call out each first year by name. One by one each first year was placed in their house and each time a house was announced the whole house table cheered, making each student feel welcomed. Once finished the professor moved both the stool and sorting hat off to the side of the staff table by the door and took her seat at the table. The room quieted once more and Dumbledore began his start of term speech. He explained the Forbidden Forest, the Whomping Willow, and the stair cases having a mind of their own. He then began introducing all if the new teachers for this term, saving Severus for last.
“And finally I would like to introduce your potions master. This man is lucky to be with us today and we are lucky to have him. If not for his courageous effort in the war none of us would be here today. He is a true hero, whether he thinks so or not. Welcome back to Hogwarts, Professor Snape!” Snape rose from the table and waited.
The Slytherin table erupted in cheers and cat calls. The others soon joined in very quickly, while Harry and Ron sat rather dumb founded staring at each other, whispering to each other that neither one knew he was still alive. Hermione was cheering the loudest out of everyone. Dumbledore again took his wand to his neck and repeated “SILENCE!” Severus took his seat. The room fell silent once more, with still a few whispers about Snape floating from table to table. Dumbledore began again; “Severus is with us once again this year because one very brave soul, who wishes to temporarily remain nameless, risked everything by holding Professor Snape in their arms and apparating to St. Mungo’s Hospital and leaving him in their care before returning to the war to help vanquish Lord Voldemort. Due to that bravery and the excellent care provided by St. Mungo’s, Professor Snape was able to recover much quicker than anyone could have ever expected. So welcome back professor and thank you for everything you did to help in the war.” Severus nodded to the headmaster, who finished up with “May the feast begin.” With that, the tables all filled with delicious goodies and treats and all sorts of different foods.
Once the feast was finished the prefects led the houses to the common rooms and made sure everyone was in for the night. Hermione was Head Girl this year, which surprised no one. So she had her own set of rooms she was escorted to by Professor McGonagall. “Thank you Hermione,” she said quietly as to not risk being heard by others. “For what, Professor?” Hermione replied. “Albus told me of what you did that night at the shack. You truly are a Gryffindor and the brightest witch of your age. Not many would have thought to use the dittany. Nor would anyone else have risked apparating during a time like that.” “Thank you Professor. And tell Professor Dumbledore thank you for not mentioning me by name. I would like to speak with Professor Snape personally about it and not have him hear it in front of the whole school. I know he wouldn’t appreciate that. It will give me a chance to tell him everything and the reason behind it.” “And what reason would that be, Ms. Granger?” “I’m sorry Professor but that is a conversation I need to have with Professor Snape first.” “Understood, good night dear.” “Good night Professor.” And with that Hermione disappeared into her rooms and began unpacking her things, all the while thinking of just how and when she would be planning on telling her potions master everything she was sure he was wondering about.To be continued…Please rate and review. I don’t want to spoil too much in the future, but it will be a few chapters before the talk between the two, I want it to be perfect. After that conversation will be the song portion of this fic that I am so eager to write about. I was in the car listening to it on YouTube, and had been reading a SS/HG fic earlier in the day when the idea hit me. I hope it turns out as well on paper and I see it in my head... More of Turn around Bright Eyes very soon.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
