The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

Severus & Hermione Fanfiction

Prologue

September 19th 1979

'Albus, I have a lot of things to deal with today if you have summoned me here to go and get you more lemon drops I will not be pleased.' A nineteen year old Severus Snape said as he walked towards his boss' desk.

'Don't panic young Severus I have not run out of lemon drops just yet.' Albus said smiling as he motioned with his hand to take a seat.

'So why have you summoned me here?' Severus said as he sat down.

'Severus are you aware of Amaris Soul mates?' Albus asked as he leant back in his chair.

'No Headmaster I am not.' He said annoyed.

'Well Severus let me explain to you what Amaris Soul Mates are.' He said. 'Amaris Soul Mates, Moon Soul Mates are bound to each other from the moment one of them is born. When both of them are living beings their names will show on the register of Soul Mates.'

'Headmaster as interesting as this is, why do I need to know this?' Severus asked as he sat forward on the chair.

'Because Severus, my boy, your name has been linked together with another on the register.' Albus replied as he smiled at the boy.

'Excuse me?' Severus said as he stood up sharply.

'Severus, this is something to celebrate not be scared of my boy. You have been linked with another who is your Soul Mate.' Albus said with an ecstatic smile on his face. 'This is the person you will share your life with, this person will be yours to love and you will share the wonders of life together.'

'The wonders of life? Albus I am a Death Eater Spy, my whole life will be about serving you and the Dark Lord.' He said as he looked at Albus harshly. 'I do not want a Soul Mate to share my happiness with! I have none!'

'But you will my boy. Once Tom is gone you can enjoy life.' Albus said as he smiled.

'And what if I don't want to spend my life with someone.' He replied as he walked away from the desk.

'You could try my boy but from what I know of Amaris Soul Mates is that you will yearn for one another.' Albus said as he watched the young man walk away from him.

'Who is she?' Severus asked as he turned to look at his employer.

'Her name is Hermione Granger, she was born today.' Albus replied watching Severus closely for a reaction.

'She was born today! She's a baby!' He replied loudly as he looked at Albus.

'Like I explained Severus, the names entwine when both are living beings. Until today you did not have a Soul Mate but as soon as Little Miss Granger was born you became bonded.' Albus said.

'This is ridiculous Albus!' Severus said as he glared at the older man.

'You can't deny it Severus; she is your bonded mate.' He called after Severus as he watched the young man rush out of the office.

Authors Notes:

Hello again. My Muse seems to have come back and given me this new plot line. For those of you who follow me know I am struggling at the moment but I think I'm ready to start a new project which I hope will be as good as 'I learned the truth at Seventeen.'

I hope you enjoy the prologue, I look forward to your reviews.
