A/N
I know that one, I haven't updated in like a year and two, I just announced that my Fic's were on Hiatus but here is (an unexpected) update for 'The Making Of Severus Snape'
It had been nearly a week and still Severus had not spoken a single word with Lily. The meeting with Professor Dumbledore had gone surprisingly well – he hadn't been expelled at least, though Severus felt rather awkward when he was exposed to the headmaster's intense stare, it was almost like he was being x-rayed.
The disappointed look that Dumbledore had given him still haunted Severus in his sleep; mainly because that was the way he imagined Lily would look at him if he had the nerve to find her and talk to her. The truth was that he was too afraid to face her, it was better to delude himself that he had a chance of reconciliation with Lily, rather than face up to the truth that he had pushed her away for good…

"Hey! Snape! Come sit with us, there's no point sitting alone in there, is there?" Severus got up out of his lonely compartment and reluctantly followed Avery into the compartment at the very end of the train.
"So glad you could join us Severus" drawled Lucius Malfoy in his patronizing voice.
"Hello to you too Lucius" replied Sev, deliberately trying to impose himself in front of the crowd of Slytherin's.
Chorus' of "Good one Snape!" and "See what did I tell you?" rang out between the Slytherin's. It seemed to Severus that they were actually quite impressed with the way he was acting.
"As you are all aware, everybody present in this compartment has been hand selected by me because I have the belief that you will prove useful for our, how shall I put it? Inspirational leader" Malfoy looked around at each person, gauging their reaction. "It pleasure's me to announce that now that I am leaving Hogwarts for good, I have already been offered a place to work with yours truly!"
The crowd of Slytherin's began to murmur amongst themselves but Severus carefully kept his shock at this announcement hidden behind the mask that he had perfected over the last five years. I'm not ready to join Voldemort when I leave Hogwarts! There are so many things that I want to accomplish, how will I be able to do that if I'm serving him? What about Lily?
"Before I forget, Severus what was that spell that you used on Mulciber? I've never seen anything like that before – where did you learn it?" asked Malfoy, careful to hide the greed that was threatening to show across the handsome features of his face.
"I created that myself, it's called Sectumsempra…" began Severus but he was rudely cut off by Avery.
"Snape is ALWAYS making up new spells – in fact I always see him writing down loads of stuff in his Potions book. I bet there are loads in there!"
"For your information Avery, my Potions book is full of Potions notes, nothing more" lied Severus. He didn't think it wise that so many people learn the kind of spells he had been perfecting. If there was one thing he had learned from the 'incident' it was to never use his Potions spells against people again. "However I do know this other spell that might prove useful. It creates a buzzing noise all around you, allowing you to talk in peace – without the fear of being overheard…"

Several hours later, the Hogwarts Express pulled up at King's Cross station. "So we'll have a get together in a couple of weeks at mine, okay everyone?" A chorus of yes' greeted Malfoy's question. "See you soon then – hello father, how are you?" Malfoy's mother and father had come to the station to pick up their son. Suddenly Severus realized that he had no way of getting back to Spinner's End. With no Lily to ask her parents to drive him he was stuck. He had no money, so couldn't take the Knight Bus and no Floo Powder to take the nearest Grate. How did I let things come to this? he thought. Guess I have no choice…
A/N
I'm guessing that this chapter is probably full of grammatical inconsistencies, spelling mistakes and what not, but at least I updated right? If you are wondering why I suddenly updated, it's mainly because I feel/felt really depressed and for some reason this is the way I decided to express myself. I guess when I feel happier I'll probably update my other Fic 'The Way Things Were Meant To Be'
Also sorry that there isn't any Lily in this chapter – I just couldn't get into the mindset of how she would react – I guess that's something I'll have in the next chapter or two…
Thankyou to anyone who's still bothering to read this Fic after all this time – I am really really sorry that I'm taking so long to update…
Finally please review, it might help me to feel a little less upset with life…
