Help. Death, destruction everywhere. There is no one here I can rely on. I stare at the mangled mess in front of me. My friends had thought that it would be funny to kill the family pet of some nosy wizards. I disagreed, and was belittled and rejected. Those who I thought had been my friends had cruelly torn me apart with their words and humiliated me. I now know who my friends were.

I go quickly back to where I had grown up; Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Headmaster Albus Dumbledore welcomes me with a smile and comforting words. He says that he isn't surprised that I became a Death Eater after the way I had been treated in school. He blames his favorite student for that- James Potter.

I redden with rage. The boy who had made my life miserable in school has now completely obliterated my future. Nobody trusts a former Death Eater to work with or for them. Not even another Death Eater. Dumbledore comforts me again. He says that if I return to Voldemort and work undercover, he will take me in as a teacher at Hogwarts, much like he did with our gamekeeper, Hagrid. I agree.

The Death Eaters welcome me back, albeit a bit coldly. I play along with them. I now have a future and something to live as. I will be Severus Snape, undercover Auror and future professor at Hogwarts.
