Summer day, Severus is packing still wearing the Hogwarts uniform, I sit on his bed, and I can feel his nostalgic looks at his dorm, he's not coming back, or so he thinks , at the same time he feels some relief, at least the marauders won't live with him anymore. That's a good thing, a very good thing, I wonder what he is going to do now. Lucius Malfoy comes in:

"It's done Severus, my father agreed"

Severus smiles and nods "thanks, Lucius, I'll reach you there I want to go visit my mother first"

"by all means, mate, take your time I want to show Narcissa the place" He grins and leaves

Here we are now, he's watching her grave Interesting, her name is really interesting, its my middle name. He says a silent pray and leaves the graveyard. When are almost out a sour voice says "I knew you'd be here, come on, we have some cleaning to do before I'll take you to the work I already got for you, its time for you to start paying me for all I gave you"

Severus turns to his father and I can tell there's no fear in his eyes, anger yes, but its not a boiling anger, its the kind of feeling a person has cultivated for years his voice is not trembling when he says "I don't really think you want me to pay you for all you gave me"

Before he could continue his father says "I don't remember I gave you permission to talk to me, nevertheless to look me in the eyes"

I can feel the anger in the young boy growing but since he laughs probably his father doesn't realize "You told me to look for myself and that's what I'm doing I already have a job and a place to stay, as for our debt... each and every knut my meals and education cost I paid with humiliation, with hard study, with neverending home duty, with your punishments, with my efforts to make you love me to make her love me, I know that my material maintenance was paid with emotional pain, As for the love and paternal guidance..." he pulls out a knut and throws it to his father "keep the change" he says and moves away, I'm really proud of him I hear a noise and Severus falls on the ground his father casts a spell to stupefy him and now while he's still on the ground he hits his own son "So you think you can do as you please and leave me now that you're finally worthy? I don't think so stupid kid " he's going to kick him again I place myself in front oh him, I felt the hit even though it passes though me, Severus, however, seems to be feeling no pain he manages to stand up and pulls out his wand "give me a reason" he snarls "only one move and I swear I will" He's not kidding that's scaring me ; and his father as well I reckon because he lowers his wand and backs away slowly.

As we go away I turn and see the shadow of someone watching in the dark.

And the scenario changes, we are in a nice place, really nice actually, Severus is cleaning and smiling Malfoy gets into the living room we are and giggles "I'm glad we moved in together , we don't need a house elf with you around" Severus just rolls his eyes and serves him some meals "

"How was work Sev?" Malfoy asks conversationally, but I really really want to know, Specially since I have no clue what's he doing for living he smirks and then says "Well, I can tell you I'm really tired since I'm seeing angels"

"Oh Severus I'm blushing" Malfoy shrugs The potions master to be just rolls his eyes again and mutters "whatever, the hospital wasn't really quiet last night, I'm glad I'm just researching for potions and venom's treating with patients would increase my killer instincts

Speaking of your nice and killer instincts " Malfoy interrupts him "I think its time for me to tell you about the Slytherins society"

"Slytherins society?" Snape frowns

"yes slytherins society, a few selected of us meet once a week to make a strategy to conquer the world" Both of them laugh Malfoy continues "Actually no, but we talk about the ideals of our dear Salazar Slytherin which obviously we all share, otherwise why were sorted into his house? Its like a former students society"

"I see" Severus replies a bit interested. As for me, I'm worried, I don't think that's the name said society will have later.

A new moment in his life, its evening there are people I recognise and really loath: Bellatriz Black, Rudolph Lestrange of course, Avery, Malfoy and McNair, on the other side of the room there's people I don't know and then....there he is, still young still elegant , even handsome. Tom Ryddle. He approaches us I hide myself behind Severus, just to laugh and remember they can't see me.

His eyes penetrate Severus' he asks "Lucius says you're a great catch, but regardless what he says I saw you at the graveyard, you really showed your father, I must congratulate you for that, I hate my father as well" He crosses his arm around Severus and pulls him away from me, I try to stay beside him but I can't stay that close he whisper in his ears things I cant understand, but he's one hell of an orator; there's no longer the Severus Snape who got there instead I can see the crying little boy with eyes full of hate suddenly he howls and pulls out his wand points at me and yells CRUCIO!" the curse passes through me like a cold sword, Mac Nair falls on the floor howling in pain, why of course it was meant for him I'm not really here , I sigh in relief before frowning "why did he curse McNair anyway?" While he is still in that trance Ryddle praises him and says "Next week , his initiation.."

We are now in a bathroom Severus is panting looking himself in the mirror , and he doesnt like what he sees "what have I done?!" she hits the floor, and it breaks "reparo" the floor is normal again, his fist, however is bleeding I stand next to him looking his reflection there's pain, anguish shame "There's no way out" he pants I wonder why he hasn't think on Dumbledore, he always find a way out..

I feel myself as if I've been using a portkey, and we're now back in Hogwarts, the headmaster's office
