Severus Snape was also an unhappy person. He worked as a Potions teacher at
Hogwarts. He was the Head of the Slytherin house and was proud of his
students, especially Draco Malfoy. Draco was his favorite student. He liked
him because he knew Draco was his son but he couldn't approach Draco
because he lived in the Malfoy Manor and thought that Lucius was his
father. But sometimes Snape saw how worried young Draco was. Did they have
problems in the Manor? Snape wanted to know if verything was alright. But
whenever he asked it from Draco or Lucius, they claimed that everything was
OK.
Snape hadn't seen Narcissa for ages. He was worried about her. Was she alright? Draco had told him that his mother spent her time mostly in Paris... but why did she do that? Why didn't she live together with Lucius? That was a mystery.
Snape looked at his son. He smiled. At last he knew Draco was OK. It was the most important thing. But he was worried. The Malfoys didn't tell everything. Something was going on in the Malfoy Manor. He wanted to find it out but Lucius didn't allow anyone to come there, except his closest friends, Bellatrix and Rodolphus Lestrange.
Then Snape looked at Harry Potter. His father, James Potter, had been Snape's worst enemy. Everyone admired James and his wife Lily because they had died as heroes. And now their son was at Hogwarts. Snape didn't like Harry's attitude to him. Harry didn't honor Snape at all. He was as rude as his father had been. Harry thought that his father had been a saint but Snape knew it better- James Potter had been an annoying bully. He had bullied Snape with Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew and Snape couldn't forget or forgive that. The worst thing was that Harry didn't listen to Snape, he just considered Snape as evil as the other Slytherins. Snape was a misunderstood hero who had been a Death Eater, yes, he admitted that, but also Dumbledore's spy among the Death Eaters. He had betrayed Voldemort and wasn't sure if Voldemort knew that. He would die as a hero if Voldemort found out that.
Severus had been the most un popular student at school. He had been bullied and left alone, he had been a loner. But one person had cared for him- Narcissa Black. She had been his only friend. Her kindness had been unique. There was only one person in thousand years that would be like her. That's why Severus had fallen in love with her. But it had increased Sirius's hatred. He didn't want Severus to come between him and Narcissa. It meant war. They started to fight seriously but Severus won the war finally. He proposed to Narcissa and was about to marry her... but then the victory turned into a defeat. The Death Eaters kidnapped Narcissa and Severus tried to search her- in vain. She was gone. Severus had to give up the hope because it became too dangerous to look for her. So he decided to join the Death Eaters. But he didn't see Narcissa there either. Severus was so disappointedthat he was about kill himself- but then he met his saviour: Dumbledore. He offered him a second chance, and he took it. He worked as a spy and many dangerous Death Eaters were killed or sent to Azkaban because of him- for example Rodolphus, Bellatrix and Rabastan Lestrange and Barty Crouch Jr. He was a hero but he was too depressed to mind it. Snape was sent abroad after the Potters had been killed and he spent a few years in Finland intil he came back- as a Potions Master.
That was Snape's story in a nutshell. Snape sighed. The only caring person in his whole life was Narcissa Black. Where was she? What had happened to her? He took an old photo of her and looked at it. Narcissa was 15 years old there, and she looked so young and beautiful in it that Severus almost started to cry. He wanted to turn back time and go back to Narcissa at Hogwarts because the best years of his life where there.
Suddenly Harry's lesson was over. The children stood up.
"Yes, remember to do exercises 1, 2 and 3 on the page 83 for tomorrow!" snapped Snape.
"Yes, Professor Snape!" said the children.
Snape looked at them when they went away from the classroom. Ron Weasley whispered something to Harry who giggled before they disappeared. Draco was walking with Pansy Parkinson and Snape saw how much they liked each other. Snape smiled. His son had got a girlfriend.
