Summary: It's nearly the end of the school year at Hogwarts and one student is contemplating his choices of what to do when he leaves school. Does he turn to the dark side and join the Death Eaters, the light side with Dumbledore or does he remain neutral? And what pressures does Severus Snape face in making his decision?
The Right Path?
In an alcove on the shore of the Black Lake, a dark silhouette could be seen sat alone watching the Giant Squid floating lazily on the surface of the water batting its tentacles in the air. The figure was unconsciously rolling a smooth black pebble with his long fingers. Looking north, Hogwarts Castle could be seen atop a cliff with its many turrets and towers which overlooked the very lake at which this figure sat.
After a loud, disruptive and uninteresting dinner in the Great Hall, this lonely figure silently walked out of the entrance hall unnoticed and preceded to head down to the lake to think. It was nearing the end of the school year and summer was fast approaching and many things had to be sorted.
This lone figure was sat with his back against the rough stone, long legs were bent slightly at the knee and appeared to be in deep thought, his brow furrowing occasionally in confusion. This individual that was sitting still in the warm summer breeze, as one could comfortably on the uneven pebble beach, was a boy; No, a young man. He wore a plain white buttoned shirt, charcoal grey trousers, black shoes and was sat on a plain black silver fastened robe. Round his neck, a silver and green tie hung loosely. The warm summer breeze ruffled black shoulder length hair slightly; the skinny figure had pale skin, high cheekbones and a slightly hooked nose. Dark onyx colored eyes gazed thoughtfully over the Black Lake as the sun started to set behind the castle making it look more magnificent and grand. The Giant Squid was raising its tentacles seemingly trying to touch the sun's rays. This earned a slight uplift of the young man's thin lips. The young man who was sat in the alcove was one Severus Snape.
