Chapter one…. Developments
18th October 1986
The rain was tumbling down the rock face, sheets of water illuminated by the flashes of lighting. I small figure could be seen, his form shivering in the darkened alcove, escaping the wrath of Thor.
The next burst of lightning was closer, lighting up the small boys face, his damp black hair clung to his pale features, startling beryl eyes were wide with fright.
The boy looked to be about five or six, too young to be left to the harsh wilderness, facing gods of the sky alone.
He trembled again, biting his bottom lip in a poor attempt to end the shivers that racked his body. Voices assaulted his mind, faceless and nameless… calling to him… screaming at him. Demands, threats and screams of pain
He flinched as the lightning struck closer this time, hundred year old firs bursting into flame, the smoke billowing into the clouds and disappearing against the stormy skies.
The orange glow leaping forward then cowering away, drawing the child out of his haven he looked around, suddenly hit by the torrent of rain.
He stepped forward, his eyes furrowed in determination as the fire once again lept, caressing his face with its golden tendrils, hovering a hairs breadth from his skin, held back by some unknown force, yet urged to touch, embrace the child before, the scorching embers raining down on his ebony locks, flaring before being sizzled out by the equally fierce rain. A frustrated screech emitted from deep within the blaze and a burst of sparks, spiraled upwards.
The small boy stepped back and gazed on with awe, the wind was whipping around him creating a whirlpool of air, his hair flew back revealing a lightening shaped scar on his temple, before the darkness descended, wrapping the boy in its protective hold.
The dark haired boy woke to the soft chirping of birds and the scuffling of shy fauna in the undergrowth.
He blinked and looked around dazedly, trying to catch his bearings. A large crash was heard to the left and he swung around to face his would be attacker.
He blinked. Focusing his gaze on the charred remains of the once, proud standing trees. But he could not find the source of the mysterious noise, a nonchalant shrug later he returned to his investigations yet still he could not discern his surroundings.
The last he remembered was of a golden face and hands reaching for him, he tried to think back to a time before but all that came to mind was angry voices and painful fists.
A shuddered racked his slim form and he growled in frustration.
He was lost and he had no idea who he was!
20th July 1995
Severus Snape was annoyed, no he was more then annoyed he was furious!
Every summer for the past five years, (five years!) he had been forced into the search of a certain student, a certain Mr. I'm-too-good-for-the-wizarding-world-and-Hogwarts-Potter!
And not a sniff of the boy was to be seen.
Ah but that would hopefully change soon, he knew the old coot was finally realizing that the relentless search was useless and that the order as well as the professors at Hogwarts time was better spent elsewhere… say… frightening 'ickle firsties' and warding his rooms and drink cabinets from marauding students.
He glanced at the odd looking clock which adorned his office and sighed. Time to face the headmaster and his meddling gang of sidekicks, all seeming to have it in for transforming him into something…social! He shuddered at the thought of 'mingling' with the young men Minerva dragged up for him to meet or the blasted twinkling that assaulted the headmasters eyes every time he actually got along with the dratted cretins 'Minnie' produced.
A small smirk crept across his face as his mind churned out the looks of fear that were surely to appear at this meeting, two new professors were starting and he was quite looking forward to making a 'good' impression.
With that he swept out of the dungeons, very aware of how is robes billowed behind him with a strong resemblance to something, sinister, something intimidating.
Or maybe he wasn't so annoyed anymore…
