Severus Snape was furious. He should have known that his mother would do something like this. If only he hadn't gone.
Last week an obscure relative of his had owled, informing him that his mother had died due to dragonpox. As her only heir he was required to be present at the funeral. Cursing his ill-fated mother he reluctantly went.
At the funeral he received the part of his mother's possessions that were marked out to him in her will. There was a tall cabinet made of a dark coloured wood, a photograph of himself and his mother and a blank book. Severus could only assume that this blank book was what muggles called a diary.
Once he was safely back at Hogwarts – and away from all those cheek-pinching relatives that smiled all too often – he took a closer look at all the items. The cabinet seemed to be normal, with no hidden charms or spells. The photograph... well, Severus hid that. He did not want any students seeing it. Severus was weary of the diary. He knew that his mother had written in one during her younger years, only because her mother charmed it to bite her if she did not.
Had Severus' mother performed the same charm on this diary?
The answer: Yes.
AN: I know this is short, but it is (hopefully) the beginning of an interesting story. I'm sorry to all my readers... I know I haven't really been updating much... Sorry!!! Hope you enjoy!
