Drabble: Hadn't He a Right to be Bitter?

by Sinical-Sarchasm

My entry for Flourish's challenge. It's about why Snape is so bitter. Warning: one person is being portrayed as gay, so if this offends you, don't read it. This is why it is PG.

A.N.: I wrote this for Flourish's challenge. It isn't very good, but hey, I tried. Have fun reading and please review. I like mail too!

"You're too bitter."

Of course he was. How could he be anything else after Sandra? So many years ago, yet seeming so recent.

His seventh year. He was in love with Sandra Sprout. He'd sacrificed everything for her: his family disowned him, Slytherin house scorned him. But it was worth it.

He walked to her, and asked her to the ball. She looked at him: "No, Severus...sorry, but...I don't like boys."

It nearly killed him. It drove him to be a Death Eater. Sandra could only love her horticulture, not him.

Hadn't he a right to be bitter?
