Snape's P.O.V
I leave Eileen howling in the quidditch field and start searching for Ted .

"What are you looking for?" She asks furiously.

"Ted Riddle. " I answer absent-mindedly

" But you just took his life, I saw it myself... hey, wait a second, whose Ted?" She asks.

"Curiosity kills the cat."I say.

"Shut up and tell me what is going on?" She is frustrated, clearly. "Or I'll call the Headmaster."

"I can't find him, I can't " I turn back. She backs away, her wand once again in her hand, pointed at me.

"Who can't you find?" She asks impatiently.

"Listen Prince, I cannot find Ted Riddle now. But when you meet him...., " I instruct her but she cuts off my sentence.

"Who's Ted Riddle?"

I smile. I just got an idea. The time turner. There's no need to stay here anymore. My job's done. And I'm ready to go home. The time turner is in my pocket. I take it out and place my thumb on the button.

"Goodbye," I say.

"What?, you can't escape so easily."

I grin and remove  my wand. "Obliviate," I whisper with a wink.

"Wait wha....?!" Her memory is wiped off.

I press the button. I am engulfed by purple smoke, once again and to the last shadow of the little girl, my mother, in the future, I say a goodbye.

But, suddenly I realise something. The smoke around me is not moving. I cannot see the path of light which I had seen earlier. I turned back and tried to look for Eileen, but she has gone. Then, I something drastic strikes me.

I am stuck in the middle of time?

I try to move away from the place where I'm standing, but it feels like there's a glass wall all around me. I try to push through but the weight of a heavy blanket falls on my head.

And then I fall, down through the purple smoke, and into nowhere. Around me, all that I can see is black. Then my eyes lose their power of sight and I lose consciousness and drop dead.....
