Second Chance at Saving Them {Harry Potter}

Accomplished the Impossible

Hey guys, I am finally updating, I'm sorry I haven't been, but I was really upset about the accidental deleting of my story and I just didn't want to write. But I am now because it's been so long. So yay, I guess. Because I am extremely bored, and want to see what you guys like, I want you to post your favorite quote, from ANYTHING (book, movie, comic, etc.) and share it. Include who said it and where it was from!

Severus Snape was inside his office in the dungeons. He was pacing, which wasn't unusual, but what he pacing about was. He couldn't be sure of what he had heard, but it put him on edge. What was Potter talking about, 'last time'? He would have to tell Albus, of course. But he didn't want to bring his suspicions to the Headmaster until he was quite sure what he had heard. But one thing was for sure, something was off about Potter and his little gang of friends, they seemed to know too much and yet too little all at once, as if they were holding back.

As he paced, he replayed the conversation over and over in his head, Last time? This time? Voldemort returned? This last one especially worried him. It would be absolute mayhem if The Dark Lord returned, thousands would die, who knows what would happen? These thoughts helped him make up his mind. Even though he couldn't be certain, just the thought of the Dark Lord returning was enough to warn Albus about the conversation. Hopefully he would have more to say on the subject.

"I have no idea what this means Severus. I am glad you came to me with this, though I had my suspicions, this confirms that there is more to their little trio than meets the eye. Keep a close watch on them, see if you can find out more." Albus said upon hearing Severus' report.

"Sir, why don't we just use Veriteserum?" Severus questioned, he had asked before, but Dumbledore waved off the suggestion then, as he did now.

"It's quite possible they are expecting it, they have dodged our every attempt to find out more from them so far. The other children reported that they are just as normal as they are, and their grades, with the exception of Miss Granger, are exceptionally ordinary. I do not want to risk using it on students if there is no need." Dumbledore responded, and Severus nodded reluctantly.

"Very well. I will keep an eye on them and try to figure out more."

"Thank you, Severus. And do try to be discreet." Severus again nodded and swept out of the room.

Dumbledore resumed the pacing he himself had been doing earlier. He had been trying to piece together this puzzle, but it proved more difficult than getting Severus to relinquish his grudge against James Potter.

The rest of break was uneventful, the Granger girl had gone home for break and Potter and Weasley spent most of their break with the Weasley twins, doing what they did best; causing trouble. They were told off multiple times by various teachers for bewitching snowballs to be throw at the back of Professor Quirrell's head. It seemed that they were just students that were naturally suspect.

Just as Severus was about to admit that there was nothing special about the trio, during his first Potions lesson with the Slytherins and Gryffindors, he overheard the Weasley boy talking, but before he could deduct points, he heard the words future and Voldemort, and Granger threw him a dirty look. He was so distracted by this he forgot to take away points.

Severus briefly entertained the thought of time travel, but quickly dismissed it, as time travel didn't alter appearance in anyway, and the most anyone had ever time traveled was six hours, which wouldn't explain their behavior. However, this was his only lead thus far, so he decided to look into it.
