Bloodied Prince
Prologue: Severus Prince, not Snape
The potions master sighs and leans out of the wide, open window in the astronomy tower. His eyes, a bloody crimson, rake over the grounds from the Whomping Willow, planted in his school years to the forbidden forest, his old stomping ground; their old stomping grounds.
James and Lilly, he misses them; Sirius too. But they're dead, leaving Harry, Remus and him behind. He wants to leave too; it's all he seems to want.
And in the still silent air the potions master stands on the window ledge, bracing himself to jump.
Chapter 1: Luna Riddle and Lily Evans
A boy runs down the dismal streets in Spinner's End, not at all ready to return to his home and his muggle father. At the same time, a young girl and her wizard guardian, her uncle, are walking hand and hand down the same road. The boy and girl smack right into each other, falling to the ground with equally loud thuds.
"Luna!" the wizard cries, stooping to scoop up his niece.
"I'm okay!" She looks at the boy and asks him if he's alright. He looks up at her and starts spewing apologies. "I said 'I'm okay!' Now pick yourself up and stop demeaning yourself. Kay?"
He blinks at her for a bit before saying, "Okay. I'm Severus Snape."
She smiles. "I'm Luna Riddle, and this is my uncle, Tom Riddle."
"Hi, Luna. Umm…" he ducks his head, "do you live around here?"
She tilts her head in question. "Are you asking me to come play with you, Severus?" He nods. "Of course, I will!" She looks over at Tom and gives the wizard a innocent look. "I will, right?"
He rolls his eyes and says, "Fine, little moon. You may come back, but the Malfoy family wants to meet you."
"Oh alright, Uncle Tommy. I'll see you later, Severus Snape!"
"Bye, Luna Riddle."
About a week later Luna and Severus meet on the street where they first ran into one another. The younger of the two smiles at her friend, brushing a strand of midnight blue hair out of her face. Her matching blue eyes glow with an unearthly quality as she greats her dark eyed friend. "Hi, Luna."
The two run into the town's only park, running around like children do. When it's time for Luna to go, she hugs the other tightly and whispers. "I'm so glad I have a friend here."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm a vampire, Severus. I'm not supposed to have friends. People don't like me."
"Well I do. And when we go to Hogwarts together, I'll still be your friend."
"Promise?"
"I promise. I'll stay your friend until the end."
"Thank you, Severus."
"For what?"
"I don't know yet, but thank you."
"Well for whatever you're thanking me for, you're welcome."
Lily Evans shirks away from her sister, choosing to run away rather than listen to her sister's cutting insults anymore. She stops by a willow tree upon seeing a boy with shaggy yet not untidy black hair and a girl with midnight blue locks. She's about to run the other way when they turn and give her small smiles. "You don't need to run from us," the girl says softly.
"You don't mind being around a freak?"
"You're not a freak," the boy says equally as soft, "you're just a witch."
"What?"
"I can sense them," the girl answers, "my uncle's one and so is Sevy." She holds out a hand to shake Lily's. "My name's Luna Riddle. I'm a vampire."
The boy shakes his head. "Luna, you shouldn't do that. People won't be as kind if you blurt out your secrets like that. I'm Severus Snape by the way."
"I'm Lily Evans, and I won't tell. No one would believe me."
"Why not?" Luna asks.
"Cause, I'm strange. A freak."
"No you're not!" they shout sternly. "You are perfectly normal!"
"Not for a human."
"Well you're a wizard!" Luna shakes her head at Lily before speaking again. "Now, stop beating yourself up, my friend."
"You… you want to be friends with me?"
"Of course," they say and take her hands. "Will you be our friend, Lily?"
She nods. "Yes."
