This is my first ever fanfic so dont hate speech="please" thoughts="please" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Walking down the hallway was 15 year old boy with black greasy hair, that contrasted greatly with his sallow skin a hooked nose from too many blows to the nose a sharp tongue and a lanky frame. He wore second hand clothing and tattered leather shoes that have seen better days this boy was none other than Severus Severus was a Slytherin student in his fifth year at Hogwarts constantly tormented and harassed by the so called marauders which consists of Sirius black,James potter,Remus lupin and Peter pettigrew the bane of his existence not to mention the ones who caused his friend ship with his one and only friend lily to end. He was currently walking down the school hall to think because it was winter break which meant he would have to go back to his abusive father,he had tried to convince the headmaster to let him stay at hogwarts but alas that was wishful thinking meaning severus would have to return home for the holidays and with no-one to support him he fears he may not return to hogwarts after the winter holidays.

"You worthless slut, how dare you use that disgusting magic of yours" Tobias Snape father of severus Snape screamed the sound of a whip and cries of pain could be heard as severus lay there enduring the beating he was receiving from his father."I'm sorry it was an accident I'm sorry." Severus cried out. You see when when severus arrived home his father threw his things in a closet and locked it at that moment severus felt an intense anger consume him causing his magic to react knocking his father of his feet resulting to the beating. "I'll stamp that magic out of you if its the last thing I do" several blows rained down on severus and at this point all severus could do was lay there and sob due to the immense pain he was feeling when his father left out the door, severus gathered whatever strength he had left got up and went out the door. He limped his way over to the forest not far from where he lived sat down against the trunk of a tree and doubled over crying not caring at the moment who saw him and just cried until he could no longer shed tears.

the leaves on the ground russled due to disturbance and someone crouched down next to severus and asked in a gentle voice "hey are you alright kid".
