Chapter 1: The Father's Contempt

Disclaimer- I do NOT in any way own Lily Evans Potter or Severus Snape nor any others as they belong to Rowling and the movie directors:)

Warning- Language

In the quiet neighborhood of Spinners' End all seemed still in the small street unless one lived in a private house that was the most odd looking house out of all them. Inside this particular home, on this particular afternoon..yelling broke the silence.

"I REPEAT, Severus!! you will do no such thing!! You will not go to that biased Wizarding School!!", screeched Tobias Snape at the top of his lungs. He had a horribly pallid long face, greasy curtain-like black hair and black eyes. His face was livid with anger at his ten year old son Severus Snape, who looked like a mirror image of Tobias.

"S-sorry Father but...I really want to-", Severus could not finish his sentence as he was cut off by a cold, hard slap to the face, which sent him ragged on the floor.

"I don't care if your bloody Mother wants to ship you there!!", yelled Mr. Snape at his son who looked as if he was on the verge of tears.

"Father-", Severus stammered" I am going to be asked anyway. Hog..Hogwarts will send me an owl saying that I am eligible for Wizarding School. Mum said so...", Snape rubbed his cheek where a large red and burning mark appeared.

"Did she now?", he asked with an evil sneer.

Tobias looked at Severus with utter loathing in his pitch dark eyes. He then proceeded to glance upstairs towards a cowering woman who was shaking from head to foot in fear. His anger and hatred did not seem to lessen when looking at the thin woman.

"Eileen!! Get down here now!!", he angrily gestured for the terrified woman to clamber quickly down the steps.

"Yes dear?", Eileen looked better than Tobias did but her looks were affected by obvious signs of abuse. She was the slimmest one of the three with Severus slimmer than the father but more healthy. She had pretty black eyes that did not hold the abusive tendencies of Tobias' eyes.

"DO YOU THINK I WILL ALLOW YOU TO POISON MY SONS MIND WITH YOUR BLOODY WIZARD SHIT!?", he yelled. His face was beginning to look contorted with anger.

"De-dear he should go!! He is a wizard..", Eileen said. She looked around still shaking,"Toby maybe I should just do the shopping and-" she tried to reason with him.

"I will NOT have a son that is a freak!!" Tobias roared and starting slapping Severus' poor mother about.

Severus, even though used to this by now, was still sprawled in the same position his father previously left him. He pushed himself up and sat in a rocking fetal position up against the wall, letting his tears fall non stop wetting his long oily black hair. ' I want a better life than this!! I wish I could go to Hogwarts!! Why can't my mother and father be more like Lily's!!' he thought. Snape looked out the window and wondered what "she" was doing at the moment.

A/N- Reviews would be of much help thanks:)
