Hello my name is Angela… 5 things you should know about me 1) I dearly love to read, so much in fact I live in a library. 2) I am 21 3) going to school to be a teacher 4) I am an artist, who loves to draw, paint, and sculpt. So don't be surprised if I have some hand drawn artwork for this fan fiction. 5) This is my first fan fiction!

I do not own any of the Harry Potter Characters, themes, settings, or anything from the smallest pebble to the most major character (Harry potter). All belongs to J.K Rowling, the Goddess of childhood. Thank you Rowling for creating this world that shaped/defined many childhood hearts, including mine, and thank you for allowing me to play with your characters! I promise I will treat them well. Now on to a little detail before you start reading! In this story Albus Dumbledore does NOT die. Sadly he is the ONLY AU death. Just kidding. Severus Snape is AU as well. But I needed both of them, so I revived them.

Another tidbit –Severus Snape is not played by Alan Rickman in my Universe. DO NOT GET ME WRONG! I LOVE Alan Rickman, and I think he is a very sexy and talented beast who plays a perfect Severus Snape! But you will eventually find out why I cannot use him in this story. Severus Snape is played by Tom Hardy's Heathcliff. The same actors and actresses play all other characters.

I have links up on my fanfiction page, that have photos that go with this story. Each chapter has photos, so i would check it out

This chapter has excerpts from the original Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Books. I tried to make some of them my own. But again all Harry Potter themes, words, settings, characters, and creations belong to the lovely J.k. Rowling. Please Review! and enjoy!

Chapter 1: The Final Battle

Date: May 1st-2nd, 1998 Setting: Final Battle, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Headmaster: Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore

She followed as her best friend climbed through the dirt-covered passage that would take them to the Shrieking Shack. The noises of the Final Battle could be heard echoing in the tunnel lulling her into exhaustion, but they needed to keep moving. Taking a quick look under the light of her wand she was startled by the amount of blood and dirt caked to her body, she slowly ran her hand over her ripped jeans, noticing only a couple minor wounds. On her torso she felt a long gash that she quickly healed as best as she could. How did she get that? The majority of the blood was not her own, was it just her imagination or did the blood of the Death eaters caked on her ripped jeans look slightly black? On further examination her body smelled to sweet to have been previously destroying horcruxes and being chased by scorching flames. But all of these facts could wait till later after the war was over. If she was still alive to even take inventory of herself.

Realizing Ron and Harry had taken a short moment to do the same, she nodded in understanding and urged Harry to move forward. Her trailing behind and Ron holding her small hand in his, using it for guidance and reassurance for what was up ahead. The three followed the tunnel until it began to slope upward and a small light began to show from below the exit door. As quick and quite as she could she grabbed Harry's ankle and pulled to get his attention.

"The Cloak!" she hurriedly whispered and pushed the fine material into his hand "Put the Cloak on!"

As soon as he was hidden beneath the Invisibility Cloak she urged him further up until his face was looking through a small crack in what looked to be a rather large wooden crate blocking the entrance. As soon as he was situated they heard a loud -POP-, and the unmistakable voice of one Severus Snape. "My Lord"

"Severus, what news" The voice was firm, the snake like musical tones of each word were carried gently through the air.

She had the sudden urge to run back, her whole body screamed of danger for the unknown, of what she could not see. But she was okay with this; she would rather not see the faces behind those voices. See the face of a half man half snake that held her future in the palm of his hand. A man who hated her just because of her "blood status", A snake of a man who would gladly kill and torture all of her kind- She was pulled from her thoughts by a firm squeeze to her arm. She was not alone, she had Ron with her and Harry just ahead. She was there for them as they were there for her. She was there to fight for her future and the future of the ones that she loved.

"…My Lord, their resistance is crumbling-" Snape, she could barely hear his voice, and as she strained to hear his words she could easily discern the quiver behind them. As the mock betrayal played out in the room above her, she silently prayed for the man in the room. The man who was one of the wars strongest and bravest fighters was facing down a truly evil wizard, and his chances of surviving were very slim.

It was not in Hermione Grangers nature to know betrayal from fact or fiction. She based her judgment on hard facts, and she had none for Snape. Until the end, until Dumbledore told her that he was not of Light and was in fact a partaker in the Dark would she turn her back on the only Spy they could count on. She believed in the Order, and she would not stop now.

"-And it is doing so without your help. Skilled Wizard that you are-" Lord Voldemorts voice hissed through the air piercing the ears of one witch and three wizards. Although three of the four were unknown. As they waited only a few small statements caught the ears of Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley.

"-Severus-" "not Harry Potter" Voldemorts voice ringing louder and louder with the hissing frustration of the conversation.

"Let me go and find the boy, my Lord." She could hear the pleading in his voice, and she knew that he knew this was the end. And as this thought came to her, a small tear ran down her pale face. –NO-.

"Let me bring him to you. I know I can-"

"I HAVE TOLD YOU, NO!" such fire and venom in one sentence, if one could die from words there would be no souls left. "The wand" "can't you"

"My lord" a loud plea could be heard from the once stern man "let me go-"

She silently wept into her hand. Holding her breath during the oncoming storm of the soon to be death of her former Professor.

"My Lord-"

"The Elder wand cannot – true master. The elder wand belongs to the wizard who defeated its last owner. Your duel Severus. –Did you not win- … yes, Severus, you did win. If only to let him live."

"My Lord! I had the wand, I won the duel – I need not have killed Dumbledore- he fell – it was not I who allowed him to survive…" You could hear the pleading and hope behind the statement.

"And yet here and now the Elder Wand can not truly be mine unless I defeat you."

"Surely you can unarm me my Lord, I am of more use in this war. Let me fight – for you – let me bring you Potter! –"

"I will" and in a fleeting moment Hermione believed Snape would be spared of his death only to hear a terrible scream. She muffled her cry into the shoulder of Ron as he hugged her tightly to his chest. Both trying to block the sounds of loud thrashing above them. Of the sound of horrible hissing and a body being dragged along the floor.

With one final –Pop- the air was quite, too quite for the three witnesses, who could still hear the echoing and ringing in their ears. When it was over she could hardly move, hardly remember saying "Harry!" but she did and as she put one foot in front of the other she watched as first a trembling shoe and then a disfigured and bloody body came into view. Two bloodied hands held on to Harry Potter as a choking sob came from the dying man.

"Take…it…Take…it" His voice gurgling with blood and venom held the pain and the truth behind his actions. A slow silvery blue memory was leaking from all of his orifices.

Hermione conjured a small flask and handed it to Harry who bottled the leaking memories. Severus Snapes last words were "Look…at…me" and she knew with out a doubt that he was innocent as she watched him stare into Harry's green eyes with not hate but hope. That he was light and good not evil like everyone believed. With one final breath he was gone and his black eyes that Hermione Granger had always admired closed for the final time, and she knew this war had to be won.

Silent tears ran down her dirtied face and with one last look of gratitude she ran back through the tunnel, back to the war and to the death and destruction around her. Bile urging its way up her throat, kneeling over she swallowed and shook her head. With one look to make sure Harry and Ron were following she kept moving. She would keep going for her parents, for Harry, for her future, for her friends, for him –Snape- they would win.

The three retreating figures did not notice the dillusioned young women who had followed them through the tunnel. They did not notice as she cried into the wall of the cave as the noises of a brutal death echoed through the chambers of the cave. Nor did they notice when she crept slowly through the opened trap door and kneeled in a corner watching the scene play before her.

The girl's eyes glistening with tears, her cheeks stained with the clear liquid of sorrow. Her eyes flickering between all four of the people in the room. Silently begging the three young people to do something…to save –him-

She watched as a young Ron Weasley watched in shock as the man dying on the ground held onto a young Harry Potters shoulders, the man begging the boy to take his memories. Her eyes flickering to the young injured figure of Hermione Granger, watching as tears fell from her eyes and silent sobs racked the young brunettes body. Watching as tears mixed with the blood and dirt on her ripped clothes.

The young dillusioned girl watched as the man with black hair and a bloodied body slowly closed his eyes and let the venom take over, and slow his body's movements. She watched as he started to wither away and die.

One by one the three onlookers ran from the room, back to the Final Battle, back to save the world from Darkness. That was when the girl took action. Muttering a wandless spell to undellusion herself she ran to Severus Snapes soon to be corpse, and grabbed onto his face leaning it back. Her fingers slowly opening each eye to check the dilation and her hands grabbing his hands to check the warm or lack there of. She cast a spell to keep his body warm, and lowered his disfigured body to the ground.

"Don't die on me – " she pleaded tears falling on his face "you can't die, you just CANT"

Casting another spell to see how far the venom was spreading through his body. To any onlookers it would seem that the mans arms face and neck had small neon green veins growing out of them. To her she knew this was not good, within minutes if she wasn't fast enough he would be dead.

Grabbing a small stone attached to knitted leather string from around her neck she opened his mouth and shoved it in. Not having time to be gentle, she closed his mouth and stroked his throat to force his muscles to swallow. "Come on! Work damn it, WORK!"

Another young man undellusioned himself from the opposite corner startling her with his words "what are you doing!?"

"What are you doing here? I thought I said not to follow me!"

"I…- I told you I would die protecting you!" the injured man said.

She scoffed at the man in knowing, slowly checking Snapes pulse on the ground. Getting more aggravated that the bezoar was not working fast enough.

"Fawkes! I NEED YOU" she screamed and pleaded into the room. "Please come here, I need you!" she quietly sang a low musical note, that sounded a mix of a whistle and wind rushing through a tree. A strange inhuman like note. Her right hand gently grasping her left glowing wrist.

"Fawkes? Dumbledore's phoenix?" the onlooker interrupted her singing, skeptical of what this young woman was doing. –Who was she- The blood from her head wound slowly bleeding down her face, and her dress ripped from their previous encounter together.

Sure enough not thirty seconds later, Fawkes crashed through one of the windows in the dark room, landing next to the girl and looking at her strangely. "Fawkes he's dying. Please – save him- "

The burgundy red bird looked between the dying man and the small woman and slowly crept over to the mans neck. Lowering his head till his beak was a mere inch away, the magical creature cried. The bird cried for the war, for his master fighting the battle outside its homes gate. It cried for the small human kneeling on the ground next to him, and the Spy lying on his deathbed before him.

Seven tears poured down his beak and landed on the Venomous Fang Marks of Nagini. When the bird was finished crying he hopped back to the young woman and gently pressed his head into her hand "thank you Fawkes" the words whispered into the night air. "Go!" and with her last instruction the bird took flight back out the window and back to the castle to guard his domain.

The girl slowly crept back and leaned against the wall, slowly contemplating what brought her here on this night. What her parents were going to say to her when she got back. If she got back… The man sat next to her quietly not wanting to break the silence filled with thick exhaustion. They both stared at the man lying on the ground, fighting off death as the bezoar and the phoenix tears fought their own battle with the venom spreading through his body.

It could have been minutes, but she knew it was more or less hours until the silence was broken by a quiet question from the man next to her "what's your name?"

She looked at him slowly, as if taking in all his facial features. Scrutinizing every feature as a look of realization crept on her face. - "Selene"

She didn't need to know who he was, she already did. And she didn't have time to contemplate how to respond before he started to talk again. "Well its nice to meet you, my name is –" But he was cut off by a masculine gasp of pain from in front of them.

Selene ran to the man on the ground grasping him by his torso and shoulder and dragging him into a sitting position. She cast another diagnostic spell and could tell that almost all the venom was gone. The bezoar in his throat absorbing all the green liquid.

"SELENE!" the onlooker yelled at her pointing to Snapes face.

She didn't notice his black eyes were openly staring at her until her eyes met his black ones. He tried to talk but choked on the small stone like projectile in his mouth.

"Don't! DO NOT try to speak," she pleaded to the stubborn man. "You are going to live!" the mans eyes slowly closed again as he let the pain and darkness slowly lull him to unconscious. "NO! NO! NO! Come back please! Please!" she begged in to the mans hair as she hugged him to her body.

"Selene there are people coming, they could be Death Eaters! We need to leave!" The man grabbed her ankle as he knelt down next to her, gently pleading for her to let go of the man. She didn't come to the realization that she was in potential danger until she heard banging on the door as someone was trying to break into the room. The person on the other side started to take down the wards right as Selene stood from her position on the ground.

"Oh god! I need to go, I need to go back. This isn't good. Oh god! What have I done."? She was bringing a golden necklace with an hourglass in the middle framed by gold rings from under the collar of her dress, losing focus on everything around her except for the fact that she needed to get back to wherever she came from before it was to late. She turned the circles and dials until with one last spin of the middle hourglass her body started to disappear. Not realizing that the onlooker was still grasping her ankle until it was too late. "Oh god! NO" But he had already started to disappear starting with his foot to his thighs, then his chest and his face staring into Selene's shocked eyes. The last of his body disappeared the moment the door slammed open.

She was startled again by a voice she very much recognized. Although it was younger and a little weaker, it still held the authority she remembered clearly. "WHAT THE HELL!"

As Selene turned her face to the people standing in the doorway she looked into the startled face of Hermione Granger.

shocked beyond belief by who was standing in front of her Selene whispered one last word before she completely disappeared "Mom!"

Hermione was still staring at the place where half a young woman with golden brown hair beyond curly slowly disappeared before her. –MOM- …what? A soft gasp for air brought her and the four staff members from Saint Mungos out of her reverie. She looked towards the sound and was immediately caught in the piercing stair of dark black eyes. Severus Snapes body was leaning against a wall, a bezoar thrown up next to his shaking body covered in green mucus.

"OH GOD! HURRY! HES ALIVE" and with that Hermione grabbed all the potions she had with her and started applying them to the man in front of her. When it was safe enough to apparate him to Saint Mungos they were gone, but not before the brunette magiced the used bezoar into a small box. Leaving behind nothing but the blood, dirt, and empty potions bottles of a dying man.
