Hello! I own nothing exept Joseph, Susan, and Seph! The song is "Family Portrait" by "Pink"!

Please Review, and here is the story!

________________________________________________________________

Severus Snape, after many complaints from Albus and Poppy about testing potions on students (Mainly Gryffindors), drank Hermione Granger's potion.

"And what might this potion do, Ms. Granger?" He asked on second thought. He had instructed the students to pick a potion out of their book and brew it for their final exam.

"It is the Singing Potion, sir... I thought the students were to test it, sir! I'm sorry if it makes you sing. It says here it's supposed to have the drinker sing a song about themselves and their feelings about their life..." Hermione said, cringing.

"Oh bloody hell..." Severus said. "And i havent gotten an antidote realy yet..." Severus' mind blanked out and he found himself on top of his desk, kicking off all of his papers and singing.

A screen appeared on the side of the classroom and showed images while he sang.

A little boy about 8 years old with shoulder-length black hair and onyx eyes was huddeled in a corner while a woman with waist-length black hair and icey blue eyes and a man with raven-black hair and brown eyes yelled at each other. The woman started to cry and the man started to throw things around.

Snape stood on the desk and started to sway on his feet, but stayed standing and a microphone appeared in his hands. The room went silent.

*Mama please stop cryin'

I can't stand the sound

Your pain is painful and it's

Tearing me down* The image now showed the same little boy about 11 years old in an old bed and the room he was in had all sorts of broken objects and mold all around him. Shouts were heard.

"He's ELEVEN, Joseph! He is old enough to go to Hogwarts! The letter said so! You just need to get the money so we can get his supplies!" a female voice shouted.

"Well, SUSAN, if you weren't ON YOUR ARSE all BLOODY day, we MAY have enough money! You'd actually know what the work WORK means!" a male voice, obviously 'Joseph' yelled back. *I hear glasses breaking

As I sit up in my bed

I told God you didn't mean

Those nasty things you said

You fight about money

About me and my brother

And this I come home to

This is my shelter*

The sounds of glass breaking were heard. "I'm at home all day because I have a 11 year old boy and a 4 month old baby boy to take care of, JOSEPH! Sephuel cries all bloody day and Severus just stays in trouble! I'm going to die of a heart attack one of these days! There's too much pressure on me! I wish I would just die, but I can't! I couldn't do that... I wish I didn't have to stay here stuck with you! I wish I didn't have Severus BLOODY Snape or Sephuel the bloody baby all day long!" the woman yelled. Footsteps were heard and a baby's screams and shouts and a door slammed.

*It ain't easy, growin' up in WW3

Never knowin' what love could be

You'll see, I don't want love to destroy me

Like it has done my family

Can we work it out

Can we be a family

I promise I'll be better*

A pale baby was shown. His hair was matted with blood, but it was obvious the hair was supposed to be black. The baby looked an awful lot like Professor Snape and a boy was holding the baby. "Seph?" the boy asked. "Seph? Hello? Wake up, baby brother! Come on now, you've got to eat! Wake up!" the boy shouted. He started to cry. "He's dead, Sev." a male voice stated. It was Joseph. "Daddy, why is he dead?" Severus asked. "It...doesn't matter. You do not have a baby brother anymore, and you will be going to Hogwarts in September. I will be taking you." Joseph said, taking the baby away from Severus. "JOSEPH!" Susan called. "WHAT DO YOU WANT NOW,WOMAN!?" Joseph yelled, throwing the baby down next to Severus and stomping out the door. "He just threw you, Seph... He killed you!' Severus exclaimed. He picked up Seph and hugged him tight and started to cry.

*Mommy I'll do anything

Can we work it out

Can we be a family

I promise I'll be better

Daddy please don't leave

Daddy please stop yelling

I can't stand the sound

Make mama stop cryin'

'Cause I need you around

My mama she loves you

No matter what she says is true

I know that she hurts you

But remember I love you too!*

"Susan, I am leaving. Permanantly. You were messing around with that bloody git Malfoy all night last night, weren't you? Wanted to have a Seph the Second, haven't you? You are a b****!" Joseph yelled.

Severus heard a *slap!* and a door slamming shut.

"Daddy!" Severus yelled, and opened the door. No one was there.

"Severus, you will never see that man again if I can help it!" his mother yelled.

Severus, the 12 year old, fell to his knees, put his face in his hands, and cried.

*I ran away today, ran from the noise

Ran away (ran away)

Don't wanna go back to that place

But don't have no choice, no way

It ain't easy, growin' up in WW3

Never knowin' what love could be

But I've seen, I don't want love to destroy me

Like it has done my family*

"Hello, Severus." a pretty red-headed girl said.

"Hello, Evans." Severus snapped. He walked into the library and opened a book about Potions.

"I heard there was gonna be a costume party in October." Lily said, opening a Charms book sitting beside Severus.

"I will not be attending." Severus sighed.

"Why not? It's supposed to be really fun!" Lily whispered excitedly.

"Because attending means dancing, dancing means with someone else. Someone else means gossip. I do not like gossip and I do not want to go with anyone." Severus mumbled to Lily while reading.

"Aw, Come on, Sev! It'll be fun! You can come with me! Third years can come and I wanna go!" Lily said, putting her hand on Severus' arm. "Please?"

Severus sighed. "Fine, I will go with you." The scene changed.

Albus Dumbledore sat behind his desk and Severus Snape, about 20 years old, stood before the desk.

"Severus, Lily and James have died. Harry has survived, but Lily and James didn't." Albus said.

Severus sat there in shock. Lily and James? Dead? Lily!? He did something only Albus had ever seen before. He cried.

*In our family portrait

We look pretty happy

Let's play pretend, let's act like it

Comes naturally

I don't wanna have to split the holidays I don't want two addresses

I don't want a stepbrother anyway

And I don't want my mom to have to change her last name!

Mama'll be nicer

I'll be so much better*

A picture of a happy, smiling, family showed up on the screen, and then a picture of the dead baby, followed up by Severus in the corner as his parents yelled.

*I won't spill the milk at dinner

I'll be so much better

I'll do everything right

I'll be your little girl {Snape said "Boy"} forever

I'll go to sleep at night

Daddy don't leave... Daddy don't leave...*

The scene where Severus' father left played and the screen shut off. Everyone in the room was crying, either in understanding, or in sympathy.

Professor Snape shook his head violently and it dawned on him about what he just did.

"That was embarrasing." He stated, sitting down on his desk's corner and swinging his legs.

"I'm so...so..s-s-s-sorry, Pr-Professor. I di-didn't know you would be-be tes-testing the po-po-potion!" Hermione sobbed. Ron and Harry both hugged her and she put her face in Ron's cloak.

"It is very much okay, Miss Granger. It was inside me so long with no one to tell to, and it felt good to let it out. Thank you. 15 points to Gryffindor for the excellent potion and an extra five for the chocolate taste you added. Rather enjoyable in fact." Snape said, smiling at Hermione.

Smiling?! Severus Snape SMILING!?

The whole class was still crying openly.

The images of Severus' baby brother, dead and bloody, the shouts, the glass, the little boy crying, and the older Snape crying haunted the school for the next week.
