Author's Note:

BlueWater5: It makes me so happy that I keep him in character! That's actually what I meant by alternate... I just used the word because it worked. Severus will definitely work out the details with her and the new professor. I can divulge that yes...he will remain head of Slytherin house. :) Thank you so much for your reviews! I look forward to finishing the sequel!

Trickster32: It was slightly mean. But Minerva knew that he wouldn't agree to it unless something like this was arranged. She's kind of turning into Dumbledore in some ways. XD She is of the opinion that this will work out for him...so that's why she did it. Whether it will work out or not...you'll have to wait and see. :) Thank you so much for your reviews and for reading! I hope to see you in the future!
