Third Person POV
Malfoy Manor
...
...
The first thing he went to do was go to the Malfoy house. The shadows had not yet arrived there to kill them, and Severus wanted to check something, since he had seen the memories of the old Severus Snape, that he had spent the holidays there and received Voldemort's Mark.
As he had permission to enter, with the Portkey key that Lucius had given him, he went through the fireplace. As it burst into flames, he reappeared in the manor, with a small house-elf appearing soon after to greet him.
"Dobby?" Severus was momentarily stunned. Was Dobby working for the Malfoys in that world? Severus looked at the elf, who was also surprised.
Despite already knowing Severus, he clearly felt the change since the last time he had appeared at the manor.
'Come to think of it, I bought this same elf at an auction, winning him from Lucius's father… it makes sense that I have changed his fate...', Severus thought.
Dobby was his trusted elf in his world.
"Tell me something, Dobby. Do the Malfoys treat you well?", he asked, while Dobby looked surprised by the question, not expecting anyone to be worried about him.
'The Malfoys treat me well...?' He could not help but whisper cautiously. He hesitated to answer, clearly unsure, but Severus saw that this was not the case.
"From what I see, they do not", Severus narrowed his eyes, and Dobby shrank back, still wondering why the Dark Lord was being so strange. His eyes were shining, and that aura was oppressive.
"Dobby, I will free you from here. I want you to go work at Hogwarts, understood?", Severus said.
"Wait, sir, no… what are you talking about? You cannot say that. Dobby belongs to the Malfoys, they are Dobby's masters!", he began to panic.
"What is going on here?", before Severus could continue, someone appeared on the second floor, stopping at the railing of the floor in front of the entrance hall of the manor, where the fireplace was.
It was Abraxas Malfoy, exactly as Severus remembered him. He stared at him with narrowed eyes. He had not heard the conversation that Severus had had with the house-elf, but he certainly recognized him and felt no pleasure in finding him there.
'A half-blood that your son said had potential.' That was how he saw Severus.
Abraxas was merely tolerant, but he did not like half-bloods. To him, Severus had no status at all and was still poor. He was not even worthy of pity. He had always wondered what kind of potential his son saw in someone of such low origin.
"Snape, I imagine you are here to see my son, although I am surprised. Shouldn't you be at Hogwarts?"
"I should, but I left to go attack the Ministry after stopping by here. I came to see something that is in this manor.", Severus said calmly.
The man observed him without saying anything, as if he had not properly heard what had just been said, trying to piece the words together. Only then did he narrow his eyes, finding it a great absurdity.
"Are you of sound mind, Mr. Snape? Are you telling me that you are going to attack the Ministry?", Abraxas asked, thinking it was some kind of joke, albeit an extremely unfunny and unforgivable one for a half-blood with no status to say something like that.
Severus merely sighed. He raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Abraxas, who was at the top of the stairs, suddenly found himself in front of Severus, teleported against his will. And before he could even understand what was happening, in the next instant, he felt the boy's hand close around his neck, forcing him upward.
The man was immediately stunned as he felt his neck being crushed by that hand. He tried to push Severus away, but he could not. He tried to grab his wand, but Severus's hand reached it first and broke it, making the man scream as he dropped the wand, his hand now immobile.
Quick footsteps came from somewhere in the house, drawn by the scream. Dobby looked frightened, taking a step back. Soon after, Lucius entered the hall with Narcissa, both of them coming upon a strange scene: Severus holding Lucius's father by the neck as if it were nothing.
"Hello, Lucius", Severus greeted him.
"Severus? What is going on?", Lucius opened his eyes as wide as he could, watching his 'investment' at Hogwarts simply grabbing his father like that, as if he were about to kill him at any moment.
"Lucius, kill this half-blood! He broke my hand!", Abraxas roared.
Lucius stared at Severus, stunned, while the latter opened a smile. Even Narcissa was frozen.
"Since you want to kill me... Don't you think I can do the same to you, you idiot?" Severus simply tightened his grip, and the sound of bones snapping was heard. Abraxas was killed right there, and Severus threw him aside.
Lucius stood frozen for several seconds, and Severus began to walk toward him as if nothing had happened.
"Lucius, I need you to do something for me." He simply asked.
"You... you killed him!", Lucius shouted, pointing his wand and already casting a spell. "Avada Kedavra!"
Severus laughed at that. To him, everything happened in slow motion. He merely raised his hand forward. Lucius watched as the Avada Kedavra struck Severus's hand, while the energy was contained when he closed his fingers.
"Well, Lucius, it seems that this kind of attack does not work against me", Severus said, clenching his hand even tighter. In the next instant, the spell shattered as if it were nothing, sending particles of green light to the sides.
"..."
"..."
"Do you really think a death curse could actually kill? After all, I am death itself.", Severus mocked, seeing the two in front of him completely shocked.
"Who are you? You are not Severus!", the question was direct. A glint of fear appeared in Lucius's eyes. The anger from seeing his father die was quickly consumed by the fear that he and Narcissa would die there before that monster.
"I only came to get something to do a test, but I also want you to hand over a piece of clothing to Dobby to free him. Otherwise, I will kill you here", he said.
"Give it to him, Lucius! Do what he says!", Narcissa was desperate.
Lucius froze for a second, then spoke: "Dobby, get any piece of clothing, now!"
Dobby, still deeply shaken, nodded and disappeared, reappearing shortly after with a set of clothes.
"Great, free him. I'll be right back." Severus disappeared after that, leaving shadows behind, and Lucius, unwillingly but filled with fear, handed a piece of clothing to Dobby. Severus returned shortly after with a notebook in his hand, making Lucius's eyes widen.
"This belongs to the Dark Lord!", he said in despair.
Severus ignored him and quickly a black aura came out of the notebook, once again as in Severus's memories, as it took the form of a bald, noseless man made of shadows.
"Hello, Voldemort. You become my servant once more."
Those words deeply shook the Malfoy couple.
"Now let's go. You will be of great help in the Department of Mysteries." That was why he wanted him by his side, he wanted someone who could better know that place in the Ministry.
The shadow disappeared, and Severus turned to Dobby.
"Now go to Hogwarts and work there." With that, Severus disappeared.
Dobby also vanished after casting one more look at the Malfoys, leaving only Narcissa and Lucius standing there, beside Abraxas's body.
Severus entered a fireplace in Diagon Alley.
He was still extremely powerful and could teleport directly to the Ministry, but he wanted to go to Diagon Alley first and used his own Floo powder. The man at the counter who took care of the fireplace watched him curiously.
"A student?", he murmured when he saw the skinny boy approaching.
"It's two Sickles", he asked.
Severus stared at him for a moment, which made the man swallow hard. Even so, he went to his pocket and took out the money he had.
Severus stepped out into Diagon Alley. Few shops were open at night, and everything seemed calm. Then, he simply disappeared, reappearing in the middle of the hall of the Ministry of Magic, catching several Aurors by surprise as they saw him teleport there despite the anti-apparition protections and in that manner.
"Who are you? Identify yourself!", one of them approached cautiously.
Severus ignored them and advanced toward the door.
"Hey, you! What are you doing?", they shouted behind him.
Meanwhile, Dumbledore had spent the entire time observing his Pensieve, looking for any detail he had not seen that night. How Severus had strangled a student from his own House without doing anything beyond giving Mulciber a look, how he had summoned those three shadows that disappeared behind him on the rooftop, while Dumbledore watched with caution.
Shortly after that, all the Slytherin students said they had seen a group of monsters made of shadows behind Severus, threatening them. Most of them were deeply traumatized, and Dumbledore did not understand what that power was, even after seeing the memories of some students without permission.
And, as if that were not enough, there was the incident shortly afterward with the Gryffindor students. The Marauders, at least three of them, came into conflict with Severus. What happened was nothing short of cruel, very cruel. He truly broke the boys' legs as if it were nothing.
But what came after was even worse.
He removed their magic.
He turned them into magical squibs, something that had never happened in any known record. According to the boys' memories, Severus simply pulled their magic out with his wand. They had never seen anything like it. Such a spell should not exist. It was something extremely irregular. Dumbledore did not understand how that was possible, but he knew one thing: Severus had become a threat, and a far greater one than Voldemort.
It was at that moment that a Patronus entered, in the form of a hare, approaching the headmaster's desk. "The Ministry is under attack. Just one extremely powerful wizard wearing the Slytherin uniform!"
It was the voice of an old acquaintance who worked at the Ministry. Upon hearing that, Dumbledore became agitated.
"He really did it...", he murmured, wondering what he wanted with the Ministry. Dumbledore no longer knew whether he should be surprised. He immediately stood up.
"Come, Fawkes. We need to see what is happening."
He went to the fireplace and traveled to the Ministry. When he arrived, he saw nothing but chaos. Bodies were scattered everywhere. Severus had done all of that. He approached one of them and checked the pulse. They were not dead.
Checking other bodies, he realized that Severus had not killed anyone, but he had certainly left the entrance completely destroyed, with Aurors scattered all over the place. They had not even had a chance, it seemed.
Dumbledore knew that Severus was there and went deeper into the Ministry. He followed the trail of unconscious bodies to the Department of Mysteries, where he found Severus standing before the Veil, observing it in silence.
"According to what Voldemort's shadow showed me... It seems I will need the Deathly Hallows...", he said calmly, making Dumbledore feel a chill run down his spine.
Before he could do anything, Dumbledore was already paralyzed. He wanted to ask who he was, how someone so powerful had taken Severus's body when he remembered very well that the boy had none of that power when he entered the common room that night.
He had only seemed strange, looking at everyone in an odd way, even at the other tables, as if he were orienting himself and entering a completely new world, but his eyes went to everyone Severus knew, which left Dumbledore unable to understand anything that was happening.
Severus appeared before him and, with slow movements, took the frozen headmaster's wand. As he tightened his grip, an energy began to flow out of the wand and into Severus, with the headmaster witnessing everything.
"To return to the place I came from, I need the energy of this", he said.
Dumbledore tried to react, frightened, but he could not even move, the most powerful wizard of the century seeming like nothing compared to that Severus. Even the entire Ministry had fallen before him... Then Severus disappeared.
The first thing Severus did was go to the hospital wing at Hogwarts. Several Gryffindor students were gathered around, James and the others bedridden with their legs still broken, while the professors discussed a great mystery. The three Marauders no longer had magic.
Severus simply took the Invisibility Cloak beside James's bed, without anyone noticing, and disappeared in the same way.
After that, he went to where the Resurrection Stone was, at the Gaunt house, as before, and absorbed it as well, thus gathering the three Deathly Hallows and taking another part of Voldemort's soul since he had the ring.
Then, he returned to the Veil. Severus now possessed the power of the three Deathly Hallows.
Dumbledore was still frozen in place, but that did not matter to Severus.
He immediately placed his hand on the Veil.
"Let's see if it will work."
As soon as he pressed his hand against it, feeling the energy of death touch him, it began to slowly manifest as a blue energy at that point, gradually expanding.
"This will take a few hours", Severus realized. He pulled his hand away, while the Veil was already being corrupted. Then he turned to the fallen Aurors and the headmaster, still paralyzed and watching his actions in silence. Severus simply snapped his fingers. They disappeared from the place, leaving only him there, which he isolated by creating shields so that no one else would disturb him.
Severus waited.
The hours soon passed, and at dawn, all the Death Eaters were dead, with their shadows returning. Voldemort's body lay fallen and bound, while the Dark wizard himself remained stunned.
Severus knew that Lucius Malfoy had also been killed. Even though he had said he would not kill him, he had said nothing about his shadows, which already had that intention.
Severus approached Voldemort.
"Hello, Voldemort", Severus said with a smile.
"Snape...", Voldemort snarled upon recognizing him, despite not believing what he was seeing. He understood nothing of what was happening.
In any case, Severus did not reply. He simply plunged his hand into Voldemort's chest, as a darkness began to spread, catching the Dark wizard completely by surprise.
"Let's fix this world's mistake...", Severus said.
Then, black lines began to spread in several directions from Voldemort's body, reaching all the Horcruxes. Quickly, Severus began to draw them in. In an instant, they all returned to Voldemort, who still did not understand, but felt that he would die in the next moment.
And so it was. Severus killed him as he transformed into his shadow.
He set Voldemort's body aside and turned his gaze to another point. Without hesitation, he turned back to the Veil. When its last point was completely taken over by the dark energy that Severus had placed, a portal immediately opened.
"Let's see what awaits me", Severus said, knowing that the answer he needed was behind the Veil. That was what he had felt the entire time.
Then, he stepped into the portal, determined to return to the battle, even without a heart.
