* Notice- This is my 1st time writing about young Severus Snape and Minerva McGongall guardianship story. So it is going be somewhat AU. Minerva's punishments as a parent will be harsh in some ways.

Minerva's Son

It was raining hard that day at Hogwarts as it had for the last week and half. Most students

hated the rain and kept indoors in the thousands old stone gray brick castle. However, most

students tended to study more on their use of magic and work on really boring homework

assignments, like one small thin bony black haired 12 and half old Severus Tobias Snape, who was just about done with his 8feet

Transfiguration essay on transplanting animals' features onto humans. It had taken him at least 4 hrs of research and writing the

damned thing to finish it since his tormenter the 4 So Called Asshole Marauders' had stolen all the books he needed from him in the

library and ended up in a scuffle causing Madame Pince to throw all of them out for that day as well contact the boys Heads of Houses

for punishment. They all received a detention and a scathing lecture. Severus snorted, "I bet those precious Marauders' got off easy"

Knowing Professor McGongall who was known for favoring Gryffindor above any other and she liked Slytherin House and she took the

most points from also. He knew as well that Remus Lupin, James or Saint Potter and Sirius Shitty Black were her precious favorite lions

from the way she acted since they were outstanding in her class and the Quidditch team which had won the House Golden Cup and

admiration since all three had made the Griffindor team, the year before. 'Damn them Bastards' muttered, Severus as he slammed the

old book and threw it down on the pile on the floor beside the dark oak table in the empty classroom on the 3rd floor. He got up and

stretched his body snarling "Fuck em all I'll get the loony lions this time just wait. They'll pay for that hateful act against me." He hated

school and his life at home as well. His family Mum and so called bastard father lived on Spinner's End in a very run down 3 room house

in the Muggle World for as long as he could remember.

Severus shruddered as a particular awful memory overtook him just then. "Seven year old Severus was wearing a blk and white short

sleeve shirt and his 1st pair of 2nd hand blue jeans that his mother had found for him at a local yard sale a few days prior. He looked in

the old cracked mirror at his reflection and smiled happily. 'Yay he shouted with glee, the light shining in his eyes. Finally I get to go to

my 1st real birthday party and it's my best friend Lily never less. Severus never really had too many friends since many in the

neighborhood and his school considered the Snape Family to be very strange and dangerous. Especially Tobias Snape whose alcoholic

and drunken rages were well known to everyone in the town and how he frequently beat his small son and wife who always bore the

brunt of his rages. He could never hold a decent job to support his family and people were frightened of his temper so that they warned

and refused to let their children associate with Severus his son. Eileen Snape was known as a hard working woman with a cold harsh

demeanor. She worked at the affluently chemical and physical plant that created and processed many different chemicals for various

uses. She worked long hours to support her family and due to her important job She was well respected by the majority of the town

though many speculated why she would stay with Tobias who treated her and her son like trash daily. She would come to work beat up

with bruises and black eyes and cut lips. Once Tobias punched her so hard he had broken her nose to where at the public aid medical

clinic. It was never set properly and remained crooked for the rest of her life. When Severus asked her "Mommy Why he so mean to us

and why can't you divorce the bastard? the tears brimming in his eyes. Eileen stared in shock at the question.

" SEVERUS How dare you say that word about your father" That is so Disrespectful I won't have it. She smacked his

bottom twice on his jeans and washed his mouth out with soap and Tabasco sauce. You will not talk like that and say

those filthy words about anyone even your father who I admit he's a horrible person but he is your father and deserve

respect from his son and he use that filthy talk all the time and that's where you picked that word up. Next time I will

use my hairbrush so watch your mouth mister. She glared at Severus who was sobbing loudly Mommy I'm sorry Please I

HATE Him. He's' Not My Father. Eileen suddenly hugged Severus to her bosom and sat him on her lap gently rocking him

in the rocking chair which she always sat at by the fireplace every evening even when she was off from work. Oh hush

my little Prince Don't cry Its ok Mommy has a pepper stick for you. Severus took and sucked the candy eagerly sucking

and Eileen started crying softly and started telling him about her privileged yet tough childhood and her arranged and

how she broke the engagement by meeting Tobias Snape at a cousins party in the muggle world and they fell in love

married only she didn't realize that Tobias who was blk haired and was married to alcohol. She was engaged to Abraxis

Malfoy but he was a pureblooded maniac who had slapped her face twice for expression her out spoken beliefs about

purebloods idiocy and acceptance of Muggle born being wizards. Eileen's family had flat out disowned her for the rest of

her life for marrying Tobias Snape the Muggle. In her pure blood family this action was seen as an outrage and dishonor

to the family name. Her father Ebenezer had screamed and damned her and Tobias and any future child to everlasting

Hell for eternality. He had cast the Crucious curse upon his once beloved daughter the apple in his eye. "He had

screamed cruelly "Go from this house wretched daughter of mine and this family and never return to us. You are

formally disowned and dead to this family. It will be as you were never born to your mother and I and you should have

died at birth as you were going to except the healers at St Mungo's saved you since I needed a heir and my wife who

wanted a child. You will never see us again or receive our estate after our deaths. We will locate another heir to leave it

to. Go Now" Eileen's mother Scarlett was crying during this speech. "Please No OH GOD NO EBENIZER Don't disown

Eileen Please She is our daughter our heir regardless of her choice of a husband and what her future child. It will be a

half-blood and a wizard or witch like our daughter. I've, always wanted a grandchild to spoil. Please don t' deny me my

grandchild please." Ebenezer glared at his wife and stated coldly" "I Should divorce you and send you to St Mungos for

the rest of your life for your betrayal. However The Prince Family Law of Ancestry States That there is no divorce for any

reason and marrying a filthy blooded Muggle as well. However Wife You can see your condemned daughter if you wish

and support her from your own private the Prewett family funds. But I will never support except financially or otherwise

except to give a place to stay." He turned to Scarlett and Cruciod her with his oak and unicorn wand and then he left the

Prince Manor for the whorehouse where he had secretly had cheating on his docile weak wife for the last 25 years they

had been married Young 20 year old Eileen ran to her mother Scarlett and they went to St Mungos for treatment of the

Unforgivable Cruiscios curse. Eileen recovered But Scarlett was too emotionally and physically damaged by the situation

and her husband's cruel betrayal. For the next 3 years Scarlett Prewett Prince hung on feebly to life and her devoted

daughter Eileen and grandson Severus visited her almost daily. Scarlett had left them fairly well off a huge inheritance

except that Tobias Snape drank most of the money on alcohol until Eileen threatened to kill him. Scarlett finally died in

peace at St Mungo's in late October of 1962. Ebenezer who ran off and disappeared after his use of the Unforgivable

Curses he had used against his Family. The Wizard Ministry and Aurors tried in vain to find him but after a few years

they gave had simply disappeared into thin air or so it seemed. Eileen sadly looked down at her precious son little

Severus and she stated with firmness " Sevvie I'm telling you all this so you know about your family history on my side

which counts since your father is a worthless Muggle and has no family except for us. Also so you can understand why

he's the way he is and in case something ever happens to me I want you to seek your grandfather Prince. I'm sure he's

still alive somewhere and will care for you He needs an heir to carry his Prince name. Promise me honey I have this

stated at the Ministstry and in my vault at Gringottis Bank in Diagon alley. Severus promised his mother and then she

fixed them dinner. Two days later when Eileen was away working and she had forced Tobias to take Sevvie to Lily Evans

Birthday party which she knew her son was looking forward to the event. She regretted that she couldn't do it But she

had to work. Unfortunately, Tobias Snape had lost another job as a security guard at a bank for being drunk and he went

to the local bar with his cronies friends and never showed u. Sevvie cried and cried at missing the party but he called the

Evan house told them what had happened and that he couldn't go since Eileen had threatened to punish him severely if

he crossed the busy street by himself. Tobias never showed up until 2 days later and Eileen was beyond lived with his

despicable actions towards her and for Sevvie who she really bad for since she knew Lily Evans was her beloved son's

only best friend and her parents were her only best friends as well. But Eileen took Sevvie and Lily to a movie with treats

and a county fair that was held that year. They all had fun and Severus remembered that time fondly as one of the most

happiness times of his early chaotic childhood.

Suddenly the raven haired 12 year old Severus snapped out his daydream to reality at Oh God what time is it he thought 4:00pm I've

missed Transfiguration class Professor McGonagall's going to Kill me. He jumped up and gathered his things and ran flying out the huge

library to the annoyment of the Hogwarts librarian Madam Rhubarb to screech " No running and messes in who sent all the library books

that were left behind in my library and chasing and hitting Severus on the butt. He yelped with pain at the assault remembering his

parents' strict discipline of spanking and beatings from his father. He ran down the corridors' till he reached the large Transfiguration

Classroom and stopped totally out of breath at his predicament. Suddenly the door opened knocking him to the floor as his 2 fellow

arch- enemies' Sirius Black and James Potter came out in the hall. Sirius started laughing cruelly stated" Oh look who's here James to

kiss our precious Head's Mc Gongalls ass Ole Snivilly of course, They both laughed and Severus who had gotten up and glared at them "

said Fuck off assholes mind your damn business get out of my fucking way. James and Sirius laughed and said," Such colorful language

Little Snivellie Momma's boy wouldn't like it would she. Ha Ha. Maybe your stinking greasy mother will punish you for it when she

comes up to Hogwarts for the Student Parent Day. Severus who had been fuming in silence as he glared back at the 2 12 year old boys.

At the mention of his beloved mother though Severus burst into loud harsh cries and said trembling. But my mother's dead and you

know it. Sirius smiled evilly and stated yeah "yeah Snivilly We both know and that you needed a little reminder of our jokes Ha. Then

James started laughing loudly and stated, "That was a great comeback Padfoot. Lets try our newest prank on little sissy Mama Snivilly.

Sirius stated with malice " Great Lets do it now " The two mischief makers drew their wands and pointed them directly at their nemesis

and said together laughing, Boilafuricus- The curse flew as Severus who had his wand out on the ready against the duel to come, but

the Marauders' were too fast for him and Severus face and entire body broke out into and was covered in angry red orange pus filled

boils that were very painful in which it took 5 days for the pain to be cured and another week even with dittany for the scars of the

minor dark curse to fade from the skin. Severus clutched at his face while he jumped around screaming in awful pain" you Assholes

Fuckers You will pay for this if it's the last thing I do here." Then he fell sharply on the hard stone in a heap. James and Sirius

gave each other a high five and said Cool we should use that spell more often. Then the two Mischief Hellions turned to leave for their

dorm But Professor Mc Gongall who had been working in her office within the classroom appeared and surveyed the scene in which she

stared stunned at her 2 most favorite students' latest act of cruelty and malice. She hated all aspect of despicable bullying and punished

the offenders severely. Although she did love minor fun prank since she was well known prankster during her days at Hogwarts as a

student all 7 years. But also Professor was known being the most strictest teacher at Hogwarts ever suppressing Headmaster

Dumbledore in meting out the students punishments and discipline for their transgressions' of the school rules. But In spite of her

strictness, Minerva McGonagall was a very kind tenderhearted person who protected all her students especially her Gryffindor lions in

her house with a very fierce protectiveness', love and loyalty a as a mother lion would for her cubs. She also was a very avid Quidditch

fan since having playing the Seeker position and held the role of Captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team in the years 1941-1948. Then

she went on to work at the Ministry for 3 years as the Head of the Amagius registration in which she was a calico tabby cat Amagius that

she forced very strict guidelines on Amagius transformations and had very stiff severe penalties' for any underage wizards under age 17

who attempted it and their parents or guardians without the Ministry's and her approval. Then one day she received an letter from

Headmaster Albums Dumbledore who was her mentor and a dear friend wrote needed a new Transfigurations Professor and Head of

Gryffindor House since that Professor Bones had just mysteriously disappeared one day six months prior in March of 1952. Minerva

decided to accept his offer deciding that she needed a change of career and pace if she wanted to settle down get married and have a

child like she dreamed of. But as the 23 years passed since she started teaching she had never met her soul mate, although she was

secretly in love with Albus. But he seemed uninterested in her romantically. Sadly Minerva accepted that the closest thing she would

become a mother to all her students. But it wasn't the same as having a child of your own to raise and love. Minerva snapped out of her

daydream and back in the present. She started bellowing" Mr. Potter and Mr. black What is the meaning of this despicable

behavior. Hexing Cursing and Targeting an another fellow student. What on earth were my lions thinking? I know you

dislike Severus but that's no excuse for this regardless. You will face very severe punishment this time more than loss of

points and detention I'm afraid. Go march to Professor Dumbledore's office NOW'. I daresay You 2 miscreants' will be

lucky you aren't EXPELLED for this horrible dark which strictly forbidden at Hogwarts. GO NOW" Minerva was So mad that

her lavender blue eyes were flashing meanly at Sirius and James. The 2 boys were shacking during her tirade and they were deathly

pale as Snivillie's skin. Sirius recovered spoke with defiance. 'Ole Snivellus deserved what he got the asshole.' James than laughed.

Minerva was shocked and appalled and she was dancing with rage "Mr. Black Mr. Potter, I'm So Disappointed in you for this

blatant disrespect of me and Severus." Then she pointed her wand and said "Scorify" Sirius and James started to gag badly as

pink and blue soap suds came spewing out their mouths and they turned and ran for Dumbledore's office to protest. Finally Minerva had

calmed down and she turned and looked at and Knelt down beside Severus who still on the floor moaning in pain from the nasty boils.

Minerva knew that Severus was a loner and in Slytherin House. But he was a hard working Student who excelled in Potions, but was

failing Transfigurations really badly due to slacking off this year even before his beloved mother had died of dragon pox She felt really

sorry for the raven longhaired boy and his worthless Muggle father had run off and disappeared writing to Dumbledore to adopt the little

bastard out to someone that he could care less. Minerva then sent Patronuses to Poppy Pompfy and Dumbledore advising them and

then resolved to remedy this situation and to adopt the child Severus Tobias Snape as he was in dire need of her loving care and very

firm discipline. She brushed back Severus's hair and picked him up in her arms and crooned to him softly "SS HH Little one don't worry

Everything is going to be fine honey. Mother's right here and she will always love and protect you" With the child her new son held

gently in her long strong arm she turned and walked fast and with determination down the long corridor to the school' hospital wing.
