A story about Snape inspired by my FAVORITE song in the world… The Bird and The Worm by the Used…I'll post the lyrics, it just seems to tell Snape's story! I'll have the lyrics italicized.

He wears his heart safety pinned to his backpack
His backpack is all that he knows
Shot down by strangers
Whose glances can cripple
The heart and devour the soul

He sat alone underneath the tree. He was reading, that was all you could do in this place. No one talked to him, who would want to be caught dead near that ugly creature. He ignored the looks from older students, and the Gryffindors. They treated him like a piece of Fresh meat.

All alone he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside
To save his life
He crawls like a worm from a bird

"levicorpus!" shouted James. And suddenly he was upsided down in the air. Dangling by his ankle, with his pants lying on the grass. How embarrassing. Now they were watching him. Now they saw.

"James! Let him down form there!" begged Lily. His only friend, and she had let James do it!

"I don't need any help you filthy mudblood." He shouted as he hit the ground. He hurried away from the crowd of people, anything to avoid their stares.

Out of his mind
The weight pushes him whispering
Must have been out of his mind
Mid-day delusions
of pushing this out of his head
Maybe out of his mind

"Glad you finally got rid of that mudblood, Sev." Said mulciber.

"Yeah, now you can focus on the important things in life!" said another Slytherin.

He smiled and laughed, but the worry showed plain on his face. He would have to get her back somehow.

All alone he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of whats inside
To save his life
He crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!" he begged at Lilly's feet.

"Then why did you say it?" she asked.

He looked at the ground. It was all Potter's fault. He was ruining everything. He didn't have time to open his mouth.

"Just what I thought." Said lily, near tears. She turned on her heels and left him standing alone.

All he knows
If he can't relieve it it grows
And so it goes
He crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird

Years later, he is at the hog's head. Spying. He never forgot her. He delivered his information to the Dark Lord. The Potters' boy? Lily's boy. What had he done!

All alone he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of whats inside
To save his life
He crawls like a worm from a bird

He had made the agreement with Dumbledore. He would have to be isolated, never trusted fully by anyone. He would be on his own, like always.

Let me know what you think!
