Chapter 1
Severus Snape's diary entry
31 August 1991
I sit at my desk, quill poised on parchment, ink dripping of its end. I am sitting here waiting and willing for me to pen down these cumbersome thoughts that burden me day and night. Without further ado, my dear diary, I place upon you this great secret that I have born all these years.
Tomorrow, a child of great importance is going to step into this very threshold. Yes, the one and only Harry Potter-the chosen one. He is said to have walked through the very portals of depression and to have endured great losses. He has endured and crossed many obstacles and I agree, but he has had the support of a thousand wizards all these while.
Although no one ever realizes it, Slytherins are the unfortunate ones. Perhaps I am being biased, but why shouldn't I? Why shouldn't my Slytherins-yes, my Slytherins, for I look at them all with the compassion and love that their parents have forgotten to shower them with- experience the joys of love.
All they are is a bunch of misunderstood students. They do not find pleasure bullying or any of those undesirable actions. These have been stories spun over the great many years, creating a name for them live up to.
Of all these Slytherins, only one tears my heart open. He would arrive tomorrow to be sorted into my very own house for I know that Draco Malfoy would never go anywhere else, but where I reside.
I will of course, invite him in with open arms and all the warmth and affection I hold for him, specially him. I am not being partial when I do so, for this boy has endured much. He has cried, wallowed in misery and has endured every pain that Harry Potter has.
However, Draco Malfoy is special. Yes, he is special. Harry potter and likewise, the rest of Hogwarts open up and someone to open up to. They have someone to confide him, but who does Draco have? I am his only confidant and I intend to do my duties well.
