CHOICES

A/N: This is my first story so please review and let me know how it is.

Disclaimer: I do not own 'Harry Potter' or the characters. Just the plot along with Alan Rickman. (HA HA. I wish.)

Chapter 1-Who They Are

It was a bright, muggy day, at 11:00 in the morning, over the summer break. Hermione Jane Granger would still be asleep after a long, long night of staying up and looking over her new school books. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry would start in two weeks and Hermione was already learning her books by heart. As usual.

At Hogwarts, around the same time professor Severus Sebastian Snape was just waking up from a few hours of sleep after getting back from one of his Deatheater Revels. Last night was one of the worst nights of his life. They had had to sacrifice several children and babies, but he had made sure to tell Lord Voldemort that he was a little under the weather, but he would still participate with looking and chanting throughout the ritual.

When he got back he had went straight to headmaster Albus Dumbledore's office and replayed everything that had happened. Now though, he was thoroughly exhausted, but he knew there was work to be done, getting ready for the start of term.

So he sat up, stretched, then got out of bed and went over to his closet. Usually Professor Snape wore black, but over the summer he had found that he rather liked blue jeans and khakis with a button down shirt and a T-shirt. So he picked out what he wanted to wear, and then went to take a shower before going to see Dumbledore. Why on earth Dumbledore wanted to see him, he did not know. After all, he had just seen him last night, but he put that out of his mind and just let the cool water refresh him.

A/N: Review.
