Harry Potter And The Rise Of Saruman The White (remake)

Chapter Five: Severus Snape Revived and the Third Coming of Sirius Black

Hogwarts was quiet and dark, still trying to recover from the previous war. The school was just as striking as ever, standing tall and large, towering over everything else. Next to the school was a cemetery, never forgetting those the school had lost. Among the gravestones, old and new, was the gravestone of Rubeus Hagrid, a man that Harry admired and who took care of him in his time of need. "Here lies Rubeus Hagrid, a noble parent, guardian, beloved teacher, and keeper over the magical creatures," the gravestone read. His date of death was marked after the battle of Hogwarts, May 2, 1998.

Just then, a thundering sound echoed and the chugging of a train over tracks broke through the empty sound. Saruman and the children had finally arrived at Hogwarts. It had taken them a while, but they were finally there. Saruman began to get off the train first, the children following close behind him. 

As Albus was getting off the train, he had a funny feeling. He touched his head with his hand. He saw the date of death of Hagrid, the numbers dancing in his head. He saw his father talking to Professor McGonagall and a scene unfolded before his eyes.

"He died right on your birthday, Harry," the professor said. 

"Albus!" 

The scene was gone as quickly as it came and another familiar voice began speaking to him. "Albus, turn to chapter 294..." 

Although the previous scene had been a vision of the past, what was happening now was occurring right before his eyes. He could still see the other children, following close behind Saruman, but among them was a face he hadn't seen in a long while. "Grandfather Severus Snape!" he exclaimed. 

"Hello there, Albus!" Albus jumped at the sound of another voice talking to him. It was Gandalf. He was absolutely baffled by how this could be happening.

"You look like your father, Albus," said another figure, "except you have your mother's eyes." 

"Sirius Black?" How could this be happening?

Anakin Skywalker also emerged before his eyes, joining the other fellow spirits. "You brought them here!" he screamed. "You brought them here to kill me... oh wait, I'm already dead." He sighed.

"But... but," Albus began, "I don't understand. How is this happening? Why did you all appear before me? Why not Saruman and the others?"

"Because, Albus," said Snape, "you are the chosen one. You. Like your father. That doesn't mean I forgive him for misbehaving in my class, but, nonetheless, it is true."

Sirius Black spoke, "The reason why you see us now is because whenever the anniversary of the deaths of those who died in the battle of Hogwarts occurs, a new chosen one is reborn."

"Reborn?" said Albus, "What does that mean?"

Then Anakin Skywalker finally spoke, "Yes, you are my reincarnation. Meaning, you are the new chosen one is reborn. Whenever a chosen one dies, it takes on a new form and appearance. 

"That is why you have most of my emotions along with Severus Snape, and some of Dumbledore's as well. You are quite wise, of course, but  don't let your  emotions get best of you as it once did me ."

"Is there anything else I should know, Uncle Sirus Black and Grandfather Severus Snape?"

"Yes" Sirus Black said. "Hogwarts is in serious danger. By a force that could turn you towards the dark side, just as it did to Anakin Skywalker."

"What must I do?" said Albus.

Then Severus Snape spoke in a tone that he regretted using on Malfoy so long ago. "You must, must warn your father, and you must warn Saruman, as he is the new Defense Against the Dark teacher."

"Remember, Albus, keep your friends and your enemies closer" replied Gandalf.

"Anything else, Gandalf?" ask Albus.

"Would you please watch over Count Saruman for me? He is a dear old friend, and I would hate to lose him before I had the chance to come back to life" he begged, looking worried.

"As you wish you wish, my Lord Gandalf" Albus said nervously.

Just as Gandalf was about to speak again, they started to hear voices coming back to the train. "Albus, where are you?" cried Lily, James and Rose. 

"Before we leave" said Sirus Black, "find the Stone of Soul Caliber! It can bring us back to life!"

"Remember, Albus," said Gandalf. "Just because you can't see us, doesn't mean you are alone." 

"Remember, to trust your friends, Albus" Snape said. "And if I find out that you have skipped any of my former classes, I will send you home! Even if I am a ghost!" 

And with that, all of them, they all vanished, leaving Albus alone with his thoughts. END OF Chapter FIVE.
