Snape's POV

It was love at first sight.

I was sitting in the Great Hall and watching the 1st years streaming in.

It was as boring as ever. Just like every other year.

They come in, get sorted, Dumbledore gives a speech and we eat. Simple, boring and it takes forever.

But as I was watching the babies of Hogwarts coming in, I saw Him. He was skinny, handsome, cute, sexy with His black hair, green - or were they blue - eyes. He was like the son I never had, or never will have. And to top it off, He was just the right hight.

But, yes, I know, I would never be able to have Him. He was a student and I am a teacher. And an ugly one at that. He would never fall for me. He'll probably want to have a girlfriend, not a 26 year old man. It's not my fault that Dumbledore won't allow anti-aging cream just because it doesn't work on him! It is a curse on my family that we look older by ten years.

I have to admit, though, I hope He's a sexy love god. Is He worried? He shouldn't be. He's going to be in Slytherin, isn't He? I wonder what He would look like in Slytherin colours. And if He where put in Slytherin, I'd be closer to Him.

It's now been a dozen students up there. How long does this thing take? 5 gazillion hours? Honestly.

"Granger, Hermione" There goes another one.

And after a while "GRYFFINDOR". Ha, another Gryffindor. Another poor child wasted. She probably thinks that she's the smartest of them all anyway. We didn't want her in Slytherin anyway.

"Longbottom, Neville."

That's His name! Neville. Oh, what a beautiful and sexy name. Neville.

But what was his last name? Longbottom? F-ck. He'll be in Gryffindor! What have I done to deserve this? My one true love in Gryffindor?

Now wait just a second there Snape. Maybe he won't be like his mum and dad. Maybe he'll be in-

"GRYFFINDOR!"

Maybe not. Damn that sorting hat and damn his parents! Oh well, all the more to want to be with him.

I've always liked a good a challenge.
