It was midnight at Hogwarts, everyone tucked away, dreaming silently in their beds. Everyone that is, except for one Slytherin fifth year. He was sitting in the middle of the floor, of the room of requirement. He had found the room a few weeks previous, and it was far better than his previous location, which was in the girls' lavatory; at least this place he could be alone, without some annoying ghost girl swooping in, crying and screaming. He starred down at the deep slashes in his forearm. Blood dripping onto the cold stone floor; he loved being able to control his own pain, loved being able to take his anger out on something – even if it was himself- let his own blind fury get the best of him.

He carefully ran his fingers over the cuts. It stung, he loved the pain. He had never been caught cutting himself, though sometimes he dreamed of his green-eyed love, with her perfect skin, and magnificent red hair, finding him in this state and refuse to leave his side. Sick fantasies, he told himself once reality slapped him in the face. He had lost her friendship some months ago, thanks to Potter. At the remembrance of this scene Severus Snape picked up the knife once more, and cut another slash in his arm.

The harsh words of his enemy still rang like bells through his ears. "Hiya Snivillus, did you have a nice time in class today? What's a greasy git like you doing here anyway; nobody wants you here, especially not Lily. Do you fancy her? Aww isn't that sweet, Snivillus fancies Lily." At that point Potter had lifted him up into the air, taken off his pants, and after some more taunts, his underwear. He cut another deep slash in his arm. Someday, he would make them all pay for what they did to him. Someday, when he stopped loving hurting himself, and started to love revenge.

Wow, woke up in the middle of the night, having dreamt this. It's now 2:13a.m So i'm sorry if there are any mistakes, please do inform me if you find any. I always had the idea of an emo Snape, but never really knew how to go about writing it, well thanks to my dream we have this. I hope you liked it.
