A Borrowed Chance... ( a Snamione fanfic. )

Chapter 1: Heaven

Severus Snape sat there in silence, waiting for his last breathe, a last lonesome tear trickled down his face remembering that today he will be, again, reunited with her, Lily Evans-- no Lily Potter, Evans is her nee. He waited in a short time until the time has come, everything went black.
***
Meanwhile...

Hermione went through the whomping willow, crying in pain, seeing her friends dead was her greatest fear, especially if that one died in lost love and that is the potions master, Professor Severus Snape, she didn't like him, but today he was the real hero, and yes he did got some respect from them, but mostly everyone hated him because of his personality no one had... had loved him, no one actually did liked him, and now that Hermione knew what's behind the mask of the man, she will try to save him, it's just poison isn't it?
***
Hermione went inside the shreiking shack, she saw him, their Potion's Master all bloodied up, no sign of life, she was being optimist earlier, she said she can save him, but no, there is no hope, the man is dead.
She knelt down beside him crying uncontrollably, Hermione tucked a strand of hair covering his face to the side of his ear, she looked at him with symphaty found at her eyes, and prayed:
' My good Lord, creator of the Heaven and the Earth, Please don't take him today, It is not his time, with all my heart and sympathy, I beg you, Give him another chance to live in this world, he died without love, and I do not want that to happen, God please all I want is for him to live in life with love not hatred, he's a hero and I want everyone to know that, so may I ask a chance, a borrowed chance... Amen'
she finished and looked above the peaceful night sky at a hole of the roof, Hermione swear she just saw a smiling face looking at her, holding back her tears, she smiled back realizing that it was a sign.

Once again, Hermione dazed at her dead potions master, full of tears in her eyes, she pulled him on her arms and cried hysterically...

Severus opened his eyes focusing on the relucent, blinding light. Curious he came closer and closer with a hand on his forehead to block the blinding light, he stopped when he heard a voice, a magnificent, graceful voice, it was no other than, God:
' Severus Tobias Snape, I hereby excuse you on your death, you will come back to earth, and live. Today is not your time, I will never let anyone die without love, I give you a chance, a borrowed chance from a girl who truly cares about you with all her heart, I will not daresay her name, it is for you to find out... Good luck and good bye...'

Severus did not have a chance to say anything, he felt everything swirling around him and fell.

Hermione stayed there for a long time and fell asleep with Severus still in her arms, when all of a sudden she heard a loud cough, she woke up and saw their once dead potions master now awoken and alive, Severus pulled himself out of the girl's arms painfully massaging his head then heard the girl cried in joy " Professor Snape you-- you're alive! But how come? " she gasped remembering her prayer earlier,

" My prayer has been answered, thank you Jesus and God " she thanked them muttering so Snape wouldn't hear, she looked up at the night sky with a genuine smile.

Severus looked at the certain gryffindor beside him and sneered,
" What are you doing here Ms. Granger? Isn't there a war going on? " she didn't replied, she just hugged him, shocked, he pushed her away rudely, she didn't mind the rude actions of her professor all it matters is that he's alive, then she decided to reply his question, "Professor, the war is now in the past, we won! Many innocent lives died, and... and you, we thought you were already dead... oh professor, i'm sorry for thinking that you were the enemy, i'm sorry for all the hatred we returned to you, we didn't know..." he looked at the young gryffindor beside him in a bolt of the blue expression, he didn't expected any apology from a girl who he always insulted in such many offending names.

Hermione dazed at him nervously examining him if he was really alive or this was just a dream, she pinched herself nothing happened, it was real, he was really alive.

Hermione gave him a sweet genuine smile, Severus glared at her and stood up, painfully, with that she helped him then put her arms on his waist but he shoved it off roughly and glared at her again.

" There is no need of that Ms. Granger, just go to your precious friends, besides I do not need any help, especially from a insufferable know-it-all mudblood like yourself " he said bluntly.

Hermione's once satisfied face turned dark, she begged the Lord to make him alive and this is what her potions master returns to her? An insult? What kind of repayment is that?

Raging in anger Hermione bawled at him:
" WHAT KIND OF MAN ARE YOU?! I PRAYED FOR YOU TO LIVE! AND THIS IS YOUR REPAYMENT?! INSULTING ME?! I HATE YOU! " after that she slapped him very hard, making his mouth bleed then she stormed off leaving him alone dumbfounded...
