Summary: Marauders era – Severus has to spend his summer holidays at the Potters' house.
Dear Sevvy,
Oh how he hated it to be called like this.
I hope you had a great year and successful exams.
Yeah. It really is fun with all my friends here, mother, oh wake up!
You know, things are complicated here at home. I asked Dumbledore for you to stay in school during the holidays. He refused since even the teachers leave Hogwarts for vacation. My sweetheart, do not ever think I did not love you. I do, with all my heart; this is why I had to ask your headmaster to place you with one of your friends.
Love,
Mum
Severus frowned. He had had a strange feeling when he received the letter but this was really not what he had expected. On the one hand he was grateful. This summer he would not have to bring a whole arsenal of painkilling- or healing draughts, this summer he would not be imprisoned in his father's house, and perhaps he would even be able to do his homework. On second thoughts the world looked much darker. Which of his "friends" would the old coot choose? There wasn't really one which would fall into the category "friends". There were Avery and Rockwood, Grabbe and Goyle in his dormitory. The first two were bastards, the other asses. There was no way he would be spending the summer with them. He would probably end up being a death-eater when he was to start his fifth year in September. The other Slytherins were even worse. Big-headed Malfoy used every chance he got to humiliate him. Actually, on second thoughts, none of the pure-blood-families would agree to let him stay fo…
"Are you living??" a plump hand waved in front of his face, fat fingers nearly touching his nose and tearing him out of his thoughts.
"What do you want, stupid sod?" Severus mumbled while he lifted his cup of pumpkin juice to take a last gulp before going to class.
"How did you call me poofter?" A chunk of fat arose and grabbed a handful of Severus' collar.
Perfect, Severus thought, here I am again, arriving to Transfiguration with a bloody nose.
It wasn't long until a crowd had formed around the Slytherins' table and some cheering shouts could be heard.
If it hadn't been for Dumbledore suddenly standing behind the young victim, Severus would have had to visit the hospital wing once again.
"Have a seat, Mr. Snape", the headmaster said in a cheery tone. Severus had to suppress a snarl. Why was that old man always happy, even if he was about to punish one of the slimy slytherins nobody needed in this school. PerhapsSeverus thought, perhaps he is cheerful because he has the chance to punish one of us once again. He could not suppress the urge to rolling his eyes.
"I hope your mother has already informed you about the summer arrangement", began the old man across from him. A hopefully gaze signalised Severus that it was more a question than a statement.
"She told me I would be living with one of my friends", Severus mumbled, tensing about who the principal had chosen. "The Potters will collect you in London and take you to their holiday house in Spain. Perhaps you could sit with James and his friends on the train so that you won't get lost on the station", while he spoke, Dumbledore flashed a glance at Severus who got more and more nervous, "Do not worry, child. I know about your disagreements, but things will work out, just you see", with that he stood and turned his back to the dejected teenager und waited for him to leave for Transfigurations class.

This will be all for today. I await the reviews before I will continue. You see, English is my third language and I would be very pleased to get corrected. If you want me to continue, tell me, otherwise I will not waste my time in writing a story nobody reads.
One more thing:
I am looking for a RPG-partner for a Severus x James RPG, rated M. You could even choose whether you want to play Sev or James. Send me message if interested.
