A/N I actually like this story, so I have decided to carry on write a few
more chapters. Mainly on what happened at Hogwarts. I know it was supposed
to be a one shot.and I probably will regret this.but I'm going to
continue!!
Chapter two ~ The escape.
An escape, a way out, a ray of light, whatever you like to call it. but that is what eleven year old Severus Snape received that dull July morning, in the form of a letter. It was a normal day in the Snape household. Mrs Snape was sitting eating her breakfast slowly, trying but failing to hide her black eye from her son. Her husband sat across from her, deeply emersed in the Daily Prophet, ignoring his family completely.
Severus sat in silence, he didn't have much to say even if he had had the courage to open his mouth. The kitchen had not changed much since five years ago when he sat huddled in the corner. The old style table still filled most of the room, the dirty tiles were grubbier then ever. the only thing that had changed were the occupants.
Mr Snape lost his temper much quicker and his wife had stopped fighting. And Severus who hidden all his life was not sure how to react. He had no friends, his father had told him friends were trouble, friends betrayed you. he barely saw the outside of the house, he was definitely a sad, bitter young boy. Bitter against the fates who had given him such a life.
As he sat there an owl flew through the open window. Mr Snape pounced on it at once, but threw it with disgust to his son as he read the name.
Severus had never received a letter in his life, he opened it with interest.

His mother had got up and was reading over his shoulder.
"Oh Severus, you have been accepted into Hogwarts, that's amazing."
"Why you praising him? He ain't done nothing." Mr Snape barked from behind his newspaper.
Mrs Snape ignored him. "Oh I remember McGonagall, deary me you'll have to watch her, she's very strict, strict but fair. Oh, you'll have a great time at Hogwarts, why I remember."
Severus got up, taking his letter he left the room and went upstairs. It didn't matter to him where he was going, and who was there, whether they were strict or fair. No, it really didn't matter. All he cared about was that he was going, leaving. The boy was escaping.
