Second Chances by PyroChilde

Summary: **DH Spoilers Alert**

At the end of DH, Snape didn't die in the shack and Harry didn't survive his encounter with Voldemort. When Harry willingly gave his own life to destroy the horocrux that resided within himself he called into play very ancient magic. Now, just as Lilly's sacrifice protected Harry, Harry's sacrifice marks every soul in Hogwarts that day. When Voldemort tries to kill Neville for attacking Nagini, the curse once again backfires only this time there are no horocruxes left to sustain him. Snape is found alive and put on trial and executed for being a traitor and that's when things get interesting. Snape has that nifty meeting with Dumbledore instead of Harry and he's given some choices as well. 1) move on to the 'next great adventure' 2) a chance to make things right, a chance to go back to the moment Harry was set down the path that lead to his ultimate destruction. Snape goes back to the moment Dumbledore told the Hogwarts staff that the Boy-Who-Lived was coming to Hogwarts and this time it won't be Hagrid that introduces Harry to the Wizarding World.
