{A/N: This fanfiction was inspired by a story I read over the weekend, detailing de-aging and Hermione's deflowerment, and I could not find it to add it to my list of favorites, sadly the core plot, which seemed a bit rushed and would have been so EPIC had it not been was never fully fleshed out...As a result...this tale has been plaguing me for a chance to be told in detail I suppose. If anyone knows of the story's name and author do enlighten me as I would love to give them credit for their inspiration.}
Prologue: An Encounter Of Chance
The Great Hall, Hogwarts Castle, Wizarding World...(1971)
Sounds of every kind one's imagination could fathom had been all around amid the excited chatter of students sitting at their respective rows of house color tables. Banners depicting each of the four founding houses of Hogwarts Castle hung high above the main gathering parts of The Infamous Great Hall. The obsidian eyes of eleven year old Severus Sebastian Snape had been focused on the bright colors and lengthy staff's table ahead of him as he, along with everyone else that had arrived at Hogwarts for the first time since their magic began to manifest in the muggle world stepped into the majestic hall and had been presented before the entire school. He would have been nervous with all the new faces and uncertainty ahead but unlike many of the students showing up here today, he was not alone this journey.
The thin raven haired boy, no bigger than what one would call a runt due to his obviously poor nutrition stood with his black school robe dangling rather freely from his small body as if it were three sizes too big. Severus looked to his right and found Lily Evans to be just as nervous as they both ventured toward the last row between the staff table and the students. He could feel her trembling as she held his hand tight in her grasp unsure of what was to become of them in this new magical world.
Back in Cokeworth, Severus had been the only other magically gifted child she had known. Before him she had been alone and felt as if she had been an outcast. He had been the one to put her mind at peace with her magical gifts, While her sister Petunia only seemed to feed her insecurities.
"What's going to happen Sev?" asked Lily still a bit nervous.
"Well...I believe they are going to sort us now." replied Severus observing everything.
They watched a number of unassigned students make their way to the sorting hat as Professor Minerva McGonagall called them forward by name. Once assigned the students went to their respective house tables welcome and cheered for. Severus has still been skeptical about the whole thing as he had not wished to be separated from Lily, they had never truly been apart so long as they could help it since their first meeting. It would be strange to wonder about without her again.
"Severus Snape." called Professor McGonagall.
The Great Hall fell silent as Severus made his way to the strange chair with everyone staring at him. The blue eyes of The Headmaster made him feel so small as he took his seat while Professor McGonagall raised the sorting hat.
"Hmmmm." said the talking hat somewhat startling Severus but he kept his cool choosing instead to focus on Lily, who's eyes never left him. "Interesting...loads of potential...there is a good deal of intellect and cunning...also...what's this...Slytherin you say?"
Severus Snape had no idea whom the hat was speaking to and he had no idea which of the four houses had the most appeal but he continued to remain silent as the hat went about sorting him.
"Slytherin...could offer so much for that spark of ambition...but there is a great deal of intellect..." continued the hat.
At the staff table, Professor Flitwick had been staring rather intently at the young Severus Snape. Horace Slughorn had been busy refilling his wine and picking lint off his shirt.
"Better be...SLYTHERIN!" shouted the hat.
The students sitting at the table of the serpent with green ties and the S on their robes looked at young Severus wondering what it was that he brought to their little group. He got up from the chair as Professor McGonagall looked at him with what he thought was disgust for a moment before he made his way toward the table. The young wizard thought better of it and decided to wait for Lily. He didn't have to wait for long as she was called up next.
"Lilian Evans." said Professor McGonagall looking right at the emerald green eyed young witch with red hair.
Young Severus observed that she too had green eyes. He guessed that he had been so busy with his own thoughts that he had forgotten to observe the world around him.
"It'll be alright Lily, I'm sure whatever house you are assigned to...they will love you." he said offering some encouragement to the seemingly frightened young witch. "Besides, I'll always be around."
"Thank you Sev." she said relieved.
Then Lily flashed him a sweet smile before making her way toward the chair to be sorted.
As Severus watched her go, a black robe clad witch with brunette hair and amber eyes teeming with the promise of chaos came strolling up to him in a casual sense. She had been the same age as far as he could tell and didn't look the least bit nervous about the coming assignment.
"Betcha ya that one goes to Gryffindor." she said breaking the seemingly eerie silence that had befallen him. "She got the look about her...you know all sweetness and light."
"Do you find her manner offensive?" asked Severus turning his attention slightly to the strange brown hair girl.
"Not at all." replied the witch. "I just know her sort doesn't mix with your sort for long."
"My sort?" asked the raven haired boy with an arched eyebrow.
The strange girl smirked a bit at his change of expression.
"The sort that grew up in Cokeworth." she said. "I know the look...I can practically feel the rage and frustration pouring off you."
"And what do you know?" asked Severus turning his attention back to Lily as Professor McGonagall placed the sorting hat upon her head.
"I know that you and me are the same sort." she replied with a pleasant smirk. "This hat stuff not withstanding..."
"Better be...GRYFFINDOR!" shouted the hat.
Lily's tie became scarlet and gold like all the other students placed at the same table with the looming banner of lion on their side of the hall.
"Told ya so." said the strange witch.
Severus narrowed his eyes as he watched Lily move over to the Gryffindor table. She shook the hand of the first boy next to her. A boy with spectacles and messy brown hair. Beside him was a sheepish looking boy with the look of a predator behind his seemingly dull eyes, a chubby bloke with teeth like a rat, and a suave looking boy with long hair and a charming smile. The newly sorted young Slytherin felt immense hatred for the lot of them but kept his temper and tried to tell himself that it was for the best. Slytherin house was not a place for a sweet girl like Lily.
"Are you incapable of being quiet or do you just take pleasure in being an insufferable know-it-all?" he asked bitterly turning his attention back to the strange girl.
To Severus' surprise, she got a good chuckle out of that.
"Maybe both...Slytherin." she replied casually.
"Evelyn Shaw." called Professor McGonagall.
"They're going to place me in Ravenclaw just so you know." she said before making her way to the chair. "So don't worry too much about me disrupting your thoughts...you know it's a pity you would have made a decent Ravenclaw yourself...Snape."
With that she left him to take her place in the chair. Severus thought of going to sit with the Slytherins but he couldn't seem to get over the curious girl by the name of Evelyn Shaw. She had been unlike any girl he had ever met and so far all he wanted to do was strangle the life out of her.
"Better Be...RAVENCLAW!" shouted the sorting hat much to young Severus Snape's surprise.
The bloody girl had been right again.
As he stood there with his mind trying to figure out how she knew all this, she casually strolled passed him with her blue tone tie and Ravenclaw crest on her uniform.
"See you around...Snape." she said smiling before she moved toward the Ravenclaw table.
Finally resolving to make his way to the Slytherin table as the rest of the group was sorted into their respective houses, Severus couldn't help but look over at both the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw tables. Lily had been giggling happily chatting and eating with her fellow lions. The strange witch Evelyn had been watching him as he watched Lily and shook her head in what looked to be disappointment before mouthing the words "I TOLD YOU SO" to him.
Severus rolled his eyes and turned his attention back to his own table spearing a fork through his meal and trying to sneak a glance or two at the most aggravating witch he had ever met. She once more caught him looking and he proceed to redirect his attention annoyed that she had always seemed to be right thus far in their association.
"Evelyn bloody Shaw." he muttered still seething from his annoyance.
He had not known what this strange witch wanted from him but he was sure going to find out in the coming days.
