Chapter 1: Flashback
"Severus just throw the ball to me!" Alexis yelled getting really annoyed at me. So I threw her the ball but she didn't see it coming an it nailed her right in the forehead. Uh-oh! I knew I was in for it!
"Severus Alan Snape! I'm gonna beat…" she tried to say beat you, but she fell while running after me. I caught her by the waist and gently set her up, back on her feet.
"Thanks, uh…I 'ave to admit something…..I love you Severus…..I love you more than you can imagine!" She said nervously. I could tell she was nervous cause she will always talk in her French accent.
"Huh? I love you too Alexis! I always have and always will!" I can't believe I just said that. It is true I do love her, even though we are only 11 years old, but it just slipped out. It was dark out and we were still walking down the road. We could hardly see each other, but I could tell she was looking at me. We caught each other's eyes. Then she leaned forward, eyes closed, I leaned in also. We were so close…my first love, my first kiss…..
CRACK! It got light all of a sodden. I snapped my head toward the blinding light. It looked something like a porthole. I yelled, " Alexis run!"
I grabbed her arm and we took off running. I just happened to look back, and saw a tall man with a long black cloak on, running at us. He tried to snatch Alexis, but I threw my arms around her and bent over to protect her.
He reached in his cloak and pulled out his wand, all in a blink of an eye. He yelled…."Expelliomus!" And the next thing I knew I was flying backwards.
I landed hard on the ground moaning. I looked up, eyes watering with pain, and saw Alexis limp on the ground. For a second I thought she was dead and started to scream her name. Then I saw her breath and I relaxed just a tad. The man pulled something out that I have never seen before and held it over her.
I got up to charge at him but my knees went week and I fell back to the ground. He pushed a button and Alexis was floating in the air. They slowly walked to the porthole and with one last shrieking laugh, he stepped in the porthole. There was nothing I could do to save Alexis, "Nooooo!"
"Severus get up. Severus? SEVERUS!"
"Alexis….is that you? Ughhhh…Julius get out!" I snapped angrily
"What? I was just waking you up! You were screaming and….i didn't mean to startle you or anything…it's just…I think you had a nightmare!" my brother said with a smile on his face.
"It's not a nightmare Julius, I've told you that already!" I yelled getting up and putting on my robes.
"Then what is it, little bro?" I hate it when he calls me little bro.
"For the last time Julius…mind your own business!" I've never told anyone about what happened when I was younger, but the only person I have told is my mum.
I slowly walked downstairs to the kitchen to eat. As usual my father and brother were in a corner…talking about the joke shop. As soon as I sat down, a whoopee cushion went off and I jumped up as fast as lighting. My dad and Julius were dying of laughter. I just gave them my go to hell look.
"Nice of you to finally join us Severus. Your mother and I were worried about you when you screamed." Julius was laughing. I knew what he was thinking, he must have forgotten I can read minds. He was thinking. "When you screamed ….like a little girl!"
Chapter 2: Death Eater
As the days slowly dragged by I threw my cloak on and went to Lucius's house for his birthday. We share the same birthdays and every year we take turns picking what we do. This year is Lucius's year to pick, and I dread it. Of course I've always dread what he picks, their always stupid, or dangerous.
I rang the doorbell and he came running toward the door. He threw the door wide open and said quietly, "About time Severus. The meeting is about to start!"
"Meeting? What meeting?" Oh gosh…I do not want to know what he was talking about but I had to ask.
"Ahh… it's a surprise. I know you'll like it!" He exclaimed with a smile on his face.
"Lucius you better tell me what the hell you are talking about!" I yelled getting really annoyed with him.
"Just wait it's a surprise, it you've heard of it. A surprise is when someone has something for another person and you can't tell them what it is!" I hate it when he is sarcastic. For one he is no good at it.
"Yes, I know what a surprise is! But I don't, ughh… let's just go! I just hope there's nothing with joking!" I said that last bit under my breath hoping he didn't hear me.
"Aww man Severus…. Why do you always read my mind. Gosh! Idiot! That just spoils it!" It is true, I did read his mind and he was thinking of it. But by the way he said that, I knew he was being sarcastic.
"I know how to trick you," He said while pulling out his wand."You just might need your wand." He whispered and his face went serious. He is going to play a trick on me. I just know it. Slowly, I pulled my wand out of my cloak and wondered if he really was going to pull a trick on me.
As we walked inside the mansion, there was a huge circle of men. There was a tall man standing in the middle.
"Lucius!" I snapped. "What in the hell have you go us into?"
When I said that…the man in the middle looked at us and said, " Ahh…about time Lucius, and this will be…..Severus?" He asked with a confused look on his face.
I didn't know what to do or say. What has he gotten us into? "Yes s.. sir." I stuttered.
"Well let's get this started." He said looking at the two of us. We followed him to the circle and joined it. He started talking and I had no idea what he was talking about.
"What is this all about?" I asked in a low, almost silent, whisper.
"Rules. Rules about how to become a Death Eater!" Lucius answered excitedly.
"A…. a WHAT!" I almost yelled aloud!
