The Resurrection Stone (SNARRY) {#JustWriteIt #AltEnding}

Chapter 1: Summoned by the Dark Lord

This Chapter is pretty much just what happens in the movie (Deathly Hallows Part 2) which is the part BEFORE my Alternative Ending takes place. Some parts of this chapter do stray from the movie a little especially near the end...  

Lord Voldemort had summoned Severus. He'd be lying if he said he wasn't afraid. There are so many things Voldemort could want from Severus...He could've found out Severus was a spy and want to kill him or he could want Severus to kill someone important like Granger and Weasley. Contrary to popular belief Severus is not a killer, he's only killed one person, Albus, and he needed Severus to do it, the man in fact begged. It seems either way Severus' cover was blown.
He enter the boathouse with his usual stance and waited until the man (if you could call him that) before him spoke. The usually beautiful space, like that of Hogwarts, had lost it's appeal. It was dark, eerie and had a distinct depressing vibe. 

"Ahh, Severus. Do you know why I have summoned you?" He questioned 
"I believe not, my Lord" Snape said in his usual emotionless tone.
"Well Severus, this wand, it seems to have other loyalties"
"You have performed extraordinary magic with that wand in the last few hours alone" Severus said letting none of the relief he felt show on his face, Voldemort wanted to talk about the elder wand, not about Snape at all.
"No...No, I am extraordinary but the wand, resists me"
"There is no wand more powerful, Ollivander himself has said it. Tonight. When the boy comes, it will not fail you, I am sure of it. It answers to you, and you only" He seriously thought what he was saying was the truth but by the look upon Voldemort's face he began to doubt himself.
"Does it?" Voldemort asked in a soft and gentle whisper that sounded almost like a hiss. Severus frowned ever so slightly before asking
"My Lord?" Voldemort began walking around the man making him feel once again nervous
"The wand does it truly answer to me? You're a clever man Severus, surely you must know. Where does its true loyalty lie?" He stepped back a few meters and watched Severus with calculating eyes
"With you... Of course, My Lord" He stated firmly but now starting to get a drift of what he's talking about. Voldemort thinks the elder wand serves Severus...
"The Elder wand cannot serve me properly because I am not its true master. The elder wand belongs to the Wizard who Killed it's last owner" Voldemort approached Severus but he remained still.
"You killed Dumbledore Severus. While you live the elder wand cannot truly be mine" Severus no longer struggled to hide his emotion. His usual emotionless facade disappeared as the corner of his lips fell and his eyes began to almost sparkle with the slow building water in them.
"You've been a good and faithful servant, Severus, but only I can live forever" There was a horrible pause, one that seemed to suck the oxygen from Severus' lungs and the air around him. He built up the courage and began
"My Lord-" But was cut off by Voldemort swiping his wand through the air leaving a deep cut in his "faithful servants'" neck. Already Severus felt weak and fell backwards against the wall. His neck was soaked in blood, his throat stinging and eyes definitely watering. He knew it would end like this, he just never imagined...
"Nagini. Kill." Voldemort said and Severus sat there wounded as Voldemort watched his snake rear up drawing back then suddenly dart forward. Her venomous fangs sunk into the flesh of Severus' neck. She drew back once again and lurched forward once again burying her fangs into the soft flesh of his neck. Nagini attacked a few more times and Severus watched helpless and in pain  beyond any he'd felt as Voldemort disapperated with Nagini. He closed his eyes feeling completely and utterly powerless and sorry for himself.

When Severus opened his eyes next it was because he'd felt a warm hand over the bleeding part of his neck. His vision was mostly blurred and at first he though he saw James Potter before him but this person clearly had vividly green eyes... Lily's eyes. Severus was filled with an urge to kiss the person with the eyes of the woman he'd loved, so he could die happily. Severus refrained from doing so however, because he knew it was Harry in front of him, not Lily. He'd see Lily soon though... very soon, but first...
"Harry?"
"Professor, Sir?" Severus glanced behind Harry and could make out the red hair of a Weasley and had to assume it was Granger beside him. Severus let one of his tears fall and gestured at it,
"Take them...Please Harry...Take them" Snape nearly begged forcing all his memories into the tiny silver tears as they flowed slowly from his eyes. Harry demanded a flask or bottle from Granger and did as his professor had instructed, carefully bottling a few of his final tears. 
"Harry... take them... to Dumbledore's Pensieve" Severus murmured just loud enough for Harry to hear. He was finding breathing harder and harder with each passing second, he was panting and gasping for air, gulping what he could so he could make a final request,
"Look at me" Severus said using the last of the effort he could muster to regain the complete attention of the boy, after a few long seconds of gazing into the other's eyes Severus broke the comfortable silence,
"You have your Mother's eyes" He said quietly. Then with the image of what's left of Lily dancing before his eyes Severus let out another strangled breath and turned his head away from Harry and his best friends. Severus closed his eyes for good.

Severus found himself in his potions lab. But it wasn't his lab. The rough stone walls were replaced by large white tiles. The desks were there but they also were white and there was an absence of potions stains and marks on their glossy surface. He noticed that like the walls the floor was a singular white tile, smooth and shining in an unknown light source. 

"Where am I?" Severus asked absolutely no one, but someone replied none the less,
"Severus, Hello"

"Albus?" Severus asked the approaching figure of their deceased Headmaster who was cloaked in white, it was only then that Severus noticed he too was wearing a white gown instead of his usual black. 
"Where do you think you are Severus?" Albus answered Severus' earlier question with yet another question, 
"If I didn't know better I'd say my potions lab"
"You're lab huh? That makes sense"
"Albus please, stop beating around the bush, What happened? Why am I alive? Why am I here and Where is here?" Severus asked becoming increasingly frustrated. 
"Ahh, impatience does not make a good impression, Severus. However I will attempt to answer your questions" Albus replied.
"Severus, you were attacked, killed by Voldemort's snake..."
"Then why am I still here?" Severus demanded
"Again, patience my friend. You were killed but you were also the last person to leave their print on the Resurrection Stone"
"I don't-"
"Remember that small stone I asked you to polish and place inside Harry's first snitch? I said no gloves were necessary and therefore you touched the stone and were the last person to touch it before Harry died"
"Harry died!?" Severus exclaimed loudly, suddenly concerned for the world.
"Oh yes, he has come here and left already...though his 'here' reflected Kings Cross Station" Albus explained with an air of clarifying something but only making Severus more confused.
"Come and gone?"
"Severus, I will begin again shall I? I see I have confused you deeply"
"Please" Severus said exasperatedly 
"The Resurrection Stone works when a person touches it then dies, it will bring the person back in their original state not at all like the 'Tale of the Three Brothers' describes where the person doesn't belong. You were the last person to touch the stone before you died so the stone worked and has sent you here instead of... on. Here you get the choice to rejoin the living or to pass on for good. It's essentially the in-between. You died and a few hours later Harry opened the snitch and held the stone before he was murdered by Voldemort. So he too came to the in-between. I was there waiting for him because I knew he had to die, he WAS a horcrux, dieing killed the horcrux but Harry's soul was fine so I sent him back to the land of the living. He went back and killed Voldemort. Weeks have passed, you're heart is still beating in the real world but you're unconscious, in a sort of Coma. If you chose to pass on... You're heart will stop and you will be declared dead. If you chose to return you will wake from your coma... Any questions?" Dumbledore finished and it made sense to Severus at last.
"Yes. You said weeks have passed. How is that possible? I've been here for little more than an hour."
"Time is not relevant here so it tends to go by quicker, well, I must be going Severus. Before you decide the world would be better off without you tune in... Channel 1" And with that Albus walked away as though nothing they'd spoken of was of more importance than whether Severus preferred Tea or Coffee. Of Course Severus was completely confused by the last words of wisdom Dumbledore had left him until he saw a small white radio on one of the desks. Severus walked cautiously over to it and pressed the appropriate buttons and dials to find Channel one.

There was Static for a moment before a familiar voice echoed through the speaker...
"Severus?"
