Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, only the plot, which came from my
own twisted mind.
Prologue: Harry, Ron and Hermione gasped. Harry had got a Past Revealer for Christmas. They were really rare. They decided to check up Snape's past to see what had made him sooooooooo mean.
***************************************************************
Severus Snape cowered beneath the bed hoping his father wouldn't hit him. Malicius Snape stormed through the door, holding the Hogwarts' Acception Letter.
*Omigod!!! What's wrong with him? He should be happy I got accepted!* thought Severus.
"Severus!" yelled Malicius.
"Y-Yes, father?" Severus replied timidly.
"Come out from under the bed. NOW!" Severus scrambled quickly out from under the bed. "Listen, boy, I want you to go and stay with the Malfoys. Their boy got accepted as well. Stay at school for Christmas and Easter, do you hear?" Mr. Snape growled. "Here's some money for your equipment. Now, begone, and I shall see you in a year."
Before the cringing boy could make a move, Malicius had aimed a vicious kick at his chest. Severus fled, completely winded and gasping for breath. The Malfoys' manor was within walking distance. Severus packed his things and went. He arrived at the manor exhausted and breathless.
"Ah, yes, your father sent me a note, allowing me to use violence to set you into order. I hope I shall not need to. Lucius will show you your room." Said Mr. Malfoy as he opened the door. Lucius, a pale blond haired boy came running down the stairs.
"Hiya, Severus!" he shouted.
"'Lo, Lucius." Mumbled Severus.
"You look like you haven't slept for ages!" commented Lucius. He didn't know that Severus' father beat him.
"Uh – huh."
After a good night's sleep, Severus was ready to go to Diagon Alley to get his school equipment.
"We will be expecting you back around lunchtime." Said Mr. Malfoy curtly.
"See you later, Severus!"
"Diagon Alley!" Severus shouted as he walked into to the fire, using some of the Floo Powder his father had given him.
15 minutes later he was checking his list.
"Cauldron, check… Wand. I'll go and get that now…" He entered Ollivander's
"Hello. A Snape is it? Hmmm. Your father chose a 13inch Yew and Dargon Heartstring. Your mother seemed to prefer a 12inch Oak and Unicorn Tailhair. I wonder which one will suit you…"
Half an hour later, Severus was looking rather worried and Mr. Ollivander was standing next to a large pile of tested wands, muttering to himself.
"Trigky…hmmmm. I wonder…yes, why not? It may work…" He went to a back cupboard and emerged carrying a dusty old wand box.
"Here. Willow and Basilisk Scale. 11Inches. I usually refrain from using Basilisk Scales. Very rare and a bit unpredictable."
Severus took the wand and immediately, Mr. Ollivander smiled.
"Perfect. But what an unusual combination."
Severus walked out and stopped outside the Magical Menagerie. He had enough money left to buy and animal. He chose a small black kitten, which he didn't hesitate to call Serrilna. He walked into the fire and shouted.
"Malfoy Manor!"
"Hi again, Severus." Came the annoyingly cheery voice of Lucius. Severus sighed and went for lunch. It would be a looong week!
