They landed in a Hogwarts corridor. There was only one person passing by. Severus Snape.

Harry saw that he looked different now. Snape was about 15 years old, but he was pretty tall for one. He was carrying a few books of Dark Arts with him.

Suddenly, out of the other corridor (that joined with this one) stepped four boys. Harry recognised them: Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, Remus Lupin and his father, James Potter.

Snape stopped in his tracks and looked at them coldly.

'Well, well, well,' he drawled,' If it isn't the Muardurers. What are you doing out at this time of night?'

'The same thing we wanted to ask you,' replied James,' Aren't you supposed to be in the horrid common room of yours, plotting with the others about taking over the world?'

Snape just smirked.

'If you Gryffindors had more brains in your over blown heads,' spoke Snape,' you would realize that Hogwarts cannot exist without Slytherins.'

'Really?' asked Sirius, flexing his fingers for attack,' I like to think differently.'

'Black, as always you think only about your fighting,' lazily said Snape,' You Gryffindors think that the world is separated into black and white. Well, I have news for you: there is no such thing as good and evil. If I were you, I wouldn't trust your fat friend,' he said addressing Pettigrew,' one of them could betray your trust.'

'That's it Snape,' roared Black,' You're dead!'

They advanced on him.

'Four against one?' frowned Snape,' That's not very fair.'

But Sirius just roared and jumped on Snape. Severus, quick as lightning, drew out his wand. He whispered a spell. Sirius was thrown back against the wall. But he began to twitch and blue froth came out of his mouth. Snape lifted his wand and it stopped.

'A Dark Spell,' whispered Lupin turning to Snape,' you know this spell even though you're only 15?!'

'There are many things that you don't know about me Lupin,' smirked Snape, looking threatening with his wand.

The Maurdurers quickly went away, dragging shaken Sirius with them. Once they were out of sight, Snape did something Harry never expected him to do. Severus collapsed on the floor weakly and fainted.

There was a graying mist before them. The mist cleared, and there was Snape in a big house, with his father and a man standing on each side of him.

'What did I hear?' said Snape's father, looming over Severus,' That you fell in love with a Gryffindor mudblood? Lily Evans?'

'Claudius!' said the other man,' That boy is still young. He doesn't know how the mudboods pollute our society.'

Claudius Snape gave a cruel smile that sent shivers down Harry's neck.

'You know, Nott,' said Claudius,' that the Dark Lord had thousands of vampires killed for their blood for poisons? He needs only to fill up half of a bottle and his work is finished. I think he wouldn't mind for us to use a half-blood..' he trailed off, looking at Severus.

'Good idea Claudius!' agreed Nott.

They both grabbed Severus.

'Please!' cried Severus,' Let me go!'

But to no avail. They dragged Severus downstairs, in the family dungeons and put heavy ropes around him. They put him on the table. Nott drew out a book and began to read the incancation.

The words were in Latin. As Nott began to read those words, Severus twisted in pain, as if something burned his skin. When Nott stopped reading, Severus dropped down exhausted. There were beads of sweat on his young face.

But Claudius just gave a sick smile. He took out a blade from his robes. Harry wasn't sure if he wanted to watch this. Ruby beside him was clenching her fists in anger.

Claudius took Severus' arm and ripped open his skin gently with the knife. The blood flowed out quickily of the veins. Nott took out a small tube where the blood was collected in. After awhile, Not suggested that this was enough. But Claudius just let the blood flow. Severus was beginning to lose consciousness. Nott quickly put a healing spell on the arm.

'Are you mad?' gasped Nott.

Claudius just looked at him and smiled more. That was so sick, thought Harry angrily.

'He survived,' said Nott.

'Even though he looks like me, he has his mother's eyes,' said Claudius quietly,' he acts like her. He is a very soft person, unlike the other members in his family.'

Harry thought that this was so unfair the way they treated Snape.

'She was an arrogant, stupid and a bi-' began Claudius, but was interrupted by Severus. 'Shut up!' Severus yelled.

Claudius looked at Severus. Then he gave a cold smile.

'Why Severus,' spoke icily Claudius,' do you remember that Slytherin is the only house that respects the elderly, especially parents. Crucio!'

Severus whimpered in pain, and this was all gone in a swirl of memories.
