Our Paths Cross Again

Chapter 1

It was yet another year at Hogwarts. Severus Snape sat in his usual place at the Head table in the Great Hall at Hogwarts. The war against Voldemort was still in full swing. Severus was still spying for the Order of the Phoenix.

‘At least the Golden Trio is gone.’ Severus thought as he watched the sorting.

Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger had graduated six years earlier. All three had immediately joined the Order upon graduating. Of course not a week after joining the Order they had been separated.

“Severus, after the feast I need to see you in my office please.” Albus Dumbledore said.

Severus nodded. As he ate he heard the conversation between Albus and Minerva McGonagall.

“Albus, have you heard from Hermione?” Minerva asked.

“Yes. She is doing fine.” Albus replied.

“Where is she? No one has seen her in nearly six years.” Minerva said.

“You know I can’t say. She’s on a secret mission for the Order. When the time is right everything will be explained. It will be soon, I promise.” Albus replied.

“I’m surprised the little chit can even function without those two little bastards Potter and Weasley.” Severus snarled.

“Severus how can you say such a thing!” Minerva gasped.

Severus just returned to his meal. Half an hour later he rose to his feet and left the hall. He stalked to Albus’s office to wait on him. Of course he didn’t wait too long. Albus entered and took his seat behind his desk.

“Severus, I have a mission for you.” Albus said.

“What is it Albus?” Severus asked.

“I need you to go with Remus and Sirius to meet someone. I will take over your classes. I don’t know how long you’ll be gone.” Albus answered.

“What! Why me? Why not Weasley or even Potter!” Severus cried.

“Because you’re a Potions Master and your services will be required. This person is currently researching a potion. One that just might tip the scales to our favor. Remus and Sirius are merely there to make sure the Death Eaters and Voldemort haven’t discovered this person.” Albus said calmly.

“What does this research have to do with me?” Severus snarled.

“You need to make sure that all the calculations and ingredients are correct and can be obtained. Once that is done, you and this person will return here where this person will begin brewing the potion.” Albus answered.

“Who is this person?” Severus demanded.

“You will find out when you get there. Now, Sirius and Remus will be here in about an hour. Go to your rooms and gather anything you think you will need. You three will be taking a port key to the location.” Albus said.

Severus grumbled as he got up and walked out of the office. Just what he needed. Going on a mission for an indefinite amount of time with the werewolf and that mongrel Black. Severus’s blood was boiling at that thought. Severus stormed into his chambers. He quickly gathered his field potions kit, a few change of robes and some muggle clothes just in case.

Once he had everything he walked to his sitting room. He opened his liquor cabinet, grabbed a bottle of Jack Daniels, removed the lid and took a long swig straight from the bottle. He had a feeling he was going to need another drink before the night was over.

Severus re-entered Albus’s office just after Sirius and Remus had arrived. Sirius and Severus glared daggers at each other as Remus greeted him cordially. Severus remained silent as Albus approached the three with a rolled up newspaper.

“This port key is only one way. Once you arrive, you must remain in the house till the research is finished. This person has a port key that will bring you four back. Remember, don’t draw attention to yourselves and if you see anything unusal, you four port key back here immediately.” Albus instructed.

The three men nodded. They each took hold of the newspaper. Remus stood in between Sirius and Severus. Albus counted to three and they disappeared. Albus let out a sigh and hoped everything went smoothly.

The three men arrived in what appeared to be a small moor. They could hear the sound of waves crashing on the rocks. They looked around and saw lights coming from a house a few yards to their left.

“Let’s get this over with.” Severus snarled.

“I see he’s as pleasant as ever.” Sirius whispered to Remus.

“Sirius, shut up.” Remus sighed.

A few minutes later they were standing on the back porch of a fairly decient sized cottage. Remus reached up and knocked. A few moments later the door opened. The person didn’t say a word and ushered them inside.

“About time. I was starting to wonder if you three were ever going to get here. Remus, your room is upstairs first door on the right, Sirius, you’re across from him and Snape, you’re third door down on the left. Since it’s so late we’ll begin in the morning. Right now, you three upstairs and get some rest. Believe me you’ll need it.” the person ordered.

“Who do you think you are giving me orders?” Severus demanded.

“That’s none of you god damned business right now. You three either go upstairs on your own, or I’ll force you. I’m not saying you have to sleep, but I highly recommend it. You can go to your rooms and jack off for all I care, I just want to actually go to bed myself.” the person shot back.

Severus, Sirius and Remus watched the occupant of the house spin on their heel and storm off upstairs. A few seconds later they heard a shout from upstairs.

“BEDROOMS NOW!”

“We might as well go to our rooms. It’s obvious we’re not getting any answers tonight.” Remus said.

The three walked upstairs and entered their respective bedrooms. All three wizards thinking the same thing. Who the hell was that and what did they get themselves into?
