Prologue- Severus
Snape liked to sit in the shadows, alone, cradling a butter-beer and watching the process of other's lives. Like the old women who painstakingly fishing out money from a worn purse, counting the coins and piling them up into separate stacks, each one a reminder of how many more drinks she could afford. If Snape waited long enough he might even see the bartender gently usher the drunken women from the pub an out into the night, but he only ever saw that if he stayed until almost closing and he seldom did. For most of the holiday he had sat there, in Salazar's Doe, the nearest wizard pub near Spinner's End, and did his non-existent homework. (he had finished the legitimate stuff within the first three days) This break from school had been no fun at all, Lily had gone away with her sister (much to her dismay) to visit some friends of the family. It shame, Severus had been looking forward to spending day after day with just her and him, like it used to be, no one trying to break them apart. Now he had to wait another full two weeks to see her again.
Snape stood, his chair squeaking in protest against the warped floorboards, and picked up his small leather bag. It was inhabited by one single letter charmed so that prying eyes could not see its contents. Severus clutched the bag to his chest and skulked noiselessly from the lonely building, becoming, once again, a shadow in the otherwise deserted street.
