Chapter two: Seven years in seven seconds
Disclaimer: I don't own Severus or anything HP related, but Alan Rickman disguised as Severus Snape would be a lovely present under my Christmas tree
Young Severus seats alone on the train, in the same cabinet four boys come in, the same messy haired boy that he felt jealous about, a young pale yet cute child and a really gorgeous creature, followed by a fat little kid the gorgeous one greets
"Wotcher! I am Sirius Black, from the noble house of Black" he adds solemnly before shrugging "yeah right whatever, I enjoy more the dog's house" James laughs at this comment "Nice to meet you I am James Potter popular dinner guest on the dog's house, specially since I'm the one who delivers said dinner" they shake hands and look from Severus to Remus, trying to figure out who is most likely the new victim of a joke, they go for Severus, whose eyes are still red from crying "OOOOH little boy misses mummy!" Says James in maternal mock tones "what's you name boy?"
"My name is Severus Snape and I don't miss my mother thank you" he says upset
"nice to meet you Snivellus, " Sirius retorts I would gladly kick him but there's no point, James and Peter on the other hand find this very amusing, Severus rolls his eyes and pretends not to care, but there's a shadow in his eyes... Remus finally speaks
"So the poor kid miss his mother, so what? Eventually we are allowed to get homesick , aren't we?, don't worry Sevvie, ! "
Sevvie, that's how his mother calls him when she actually speaks to him, and "Sevvie " is usually followed by "Wait until you father gets home" which are never good news, he hates that , not to mention the fact that his dear daddy says that "Sevvie" is a sissy name "Don't you call me Sevvie, whoever you are"
"My name is Remus Lupin, and you can call me "Remy", Snivellus" that settles it. Remus Lupin just became a marauder thanks to that comment we all can tell by the laughter of young Sirius and James, who keep mocking at Severus all the way to Hogwarts.
Hagrid gathers the first year for the boat trip, he Gets into a different boat where a blond boy is talking about dark arts Lucius Malfoy eyes him with an amusing look. Before we can tell , the sorting ceremony starts we get to hear interesting names How many Black Wizards are there? "Black Bellatrix, Black George, Black Sirius., Black Terry" one for each house Slytherin, Ravenclaw Gryffindor, Hufflepuff in said order suddenly a girl catches Severus 's eyes, she's pretty I grant, but I daresay she looks like Ms Snape... "Johnson Electra" Bellows McGonagall and this girls jumps in Slytherin
Lupin Remus" Severus eyes him, feeling a bit guilty for yell at this boy, maybe they can be friends , at least if they get in the same house.... "Gryffindor!" yells the hat...
Malfoy Lucius the blond brat walks in with elegance and before the sorting hat gets to be all over his head it yells "Slytherin"
Pettigrew Peter, Potter James, Gryffindor...
Finally we hear Snape, Severus, I can see his heart jumps I follow him muttering more for myself than him "its okay, there's nothing wrong, we know the end " curiosity makes me follow him to see if I can hear the hat , which I actually do..
"Sorrow, sorrow hate.., lonelyness, low self esteem yet a lot of potential, a lot indeed... you can do great stuff, loyalty, honour.... you need a push to get off the ground, Gryffindor would be good but you need the hard way... Ravenclaw would be pleased to have you learning, but that sorrow will only stay there and you need to transform it....." Slytherin "
Severus stands up looking puzzled, Lucius Malfoy pats him in the back "so you're the son of Severus Snape?" he smiles "Your father has business with mine and goes home often for dinner, funny he never brought you" funny Malfoy says but I find it indignant.
Severus is making a potion now, it takes a while for me to adjust as the pensieve sets the scenario, he's looking really focused on what he's doing his hair now looks greasy, as greasy as always, but there's no acne mark, now that I think about , Mrs Snape has a greasy hair, perhaps is something genetic more that a matter of hygienic habits
The marauders are there making fun of his greasy hair, however there's a spark of triumph as Peter Pettigrew spoils the potion they were doing while Snape' s remarkable he really is good at this....I follow him to the common room, and I see him smiling writing a letter I can't help but see what he's putting on it
"Dear dad, I'm not a squib, I have outstanding in potions, and I really like it"
Again I feel into kabuki theatre as I see young Severus get the answer of that.... "Potions are nothing , your mother can cook so she's good at potions, is the most feminine useless thing in the wizardry world, and I didn't give you permission to write me, you must forget you have parents and start looking after yourself" Loathing...such loathing is his look that I'm beginning to think he could fancy Harry Potter He stands up throwing the letter away "fine, he mutters fine, you're dead" but he would love to see him dead indeed, to dance on his grave.... impossible though...I would love to comfort him, to tell him he doesn't need his father that he's a great potions master and that I...love him, but there's no point, he can't hear me....
There she is : Electra Johnson he smiles at her sight, there she goes.... he is beaming , I'm happy for him, and yet curious, he's so cold, calm and in control I can't picture him drooling at someone not to mention beaming, yet he is. He begins to collect potion materials, I smile, and I admire him as I always do, his potion making skills are awesome. Is finished he goes to the bathroom "Is he taking a shower?" As much as I want to see him, I respect his privacy.. he comes out smiling his hair is once again silky and shines like Raven feathers...like satin.... he goes to see Electra gives her a letter she reads it...his eyes are showing a glow unknown for the world, but it dies as Electra is laughing of it and reads it out loud in Slytherin 's common room everybody laughs at him, he runs to the lake, willing to drawn or be eaten by the squid.
Instead Sirius Black and Remus Lupin are talking, my God, Severus would give the world to get them humiliated , not really, he would give the world to be in their gang, to be Peter Pettigrew, he swallows hard before making his way to his room, with the laughter of everyone.... Lucius Malfoy sleeps in the next bed, he says "It's okay mate, she's a bitch" but Severus is not responding he just falls asleep.
A quidditch match....James is the new Gryffindor seeker he wins.. Electra Johnson is melting for him but he pushes her away Severus squirms, what the heck is wrong with him? Potter doesn't understand does he? Oh but he's watching Lily Evans, she's nice, Potter can keep her....mudblood, is that really important?
We're in the library now, its too late, Severus is reading something dark arts related he's taking notes calculating....oh my God this is awful, he's making a huge essay about the cruciatus curse and how to do it, but that's not the main problem he's muttering and that worries me "Oh yes I'm sure I mean it, you 'll see, give me a reason and I swear I will "
His home again, his mother looks paler than usual, he's making some meal and a potion, Mr Snape 's footsteps are getting louder, he's near "what the heck are you doing Severus? Your mother can heal herself without your lame attempts , stop disturbing her, I thought I told you to look after yourself only " Severus' face turns paler his hand slowly goes down to his waist, his fingers interlace the ebony stick, with his wand out and his body trembling he face his father, Mr Snape, however is laughing "Are you threatening me boy?" Severus is trembling and mutters Crucio!" his father ducks, I cover my eyes "well, that's refreshing, you are really wanting to learn, let me help you.. CRUCIO!" All I hear is a scream, and then Severus is panting on the floor, his lip bleeds, the man laughs and says "Go to your room, shame of my flesh..."
And so here we are in his room again he wants to cry ..he couldn't do it, fear took over him, and so he paid... he shoots down flies instead...I sit down next to him muttering more for my need of do something that for the propose well done "Is okay, you'll be fine there's someone in the world who loves you.... I do" he sighs lost cause...
A new memory I reckon, he looks older can't really tell his age, he's sitting on the stairs, wondering something about the marauders .....it's almost sunset the marauders seem to be concerned Sirius says "see you soon, moony" "sooner than you think" James adds Lupin looks sick....Severus 's heart leaps would he be okay? Remus was nice, and always looking unprotected... he follows the marauders all the way to Madam Pomfrey... is this the night? I am afraid so...
This is the first part of the chapters related his years in Hogwarts, as student, I want to put special attention on the night he discovers the truth about Remus...
