Long ago Memories

Severus Snape was banged around the bedroom trying to make as much noise as he could, he didn't know why the hell he had to be here and to stay over as well; and he knew that no one else wanted him there, so why was he still there?

Severus pulled his robes off and threw them on the chair beside the table, then turned round and walked over to them and folded them; he wanted to annoyed them not ruin his clothes.

He had only come to drop off a message from Dumbledore and now they were making him stay here, he had never stayed more then ten minutes; why had he let them make him stay the night, in his house of all places?

He undressed and then got into bed, hoping that as soon as he went to sleep to sooner it would be morning and the sooner he would be able to leave Grimould Place. But he didn't fall asleep infact he just laid there staring at the ceiling trying not to think of anything, which was hard now that he was trying.

But he finally fell asleep though what seemed like hours later...

Severus was stood in the book shop, looking for the books of his first year list. He was small for his age, and had black longish hair and a big nose which he tried to cover with his hair. He wasn't paying attention anyone else in the shop as someone nudged into him and half a dozen books fell of the shelf above hitting him on the head hard.

Severus fell to the ground with the books on top of him along with his own, he pushed them all off him as the girl tried to help him.

"I'm sorry are..." The girl tried to say but he cut her off.

"What do you think you were doing...you stupid little mud blood." Severus shouted at her.

Her brown eyes seemed to glaze over as she held back the tears, she looked down her brown red hair covering her face as she quickly picked up her own books; and turned away. But another boy stopped her, and knocked off a couple more books onto Severus which made him fall back down.

"That's no way to speak to anyone, you should apologise to her now." The told him, looking down at him through his glasses and not at all bothered that his black hair was untidy.

"NO!" Severus shot at him.

"Ok then." He said smiling down at him, and reached up for the higher and heavier books.

He turned around to the girl smiling; they walked off together leaving Severus to get out of the pile of books on his own.

"I'm James Potter." He heard the say.

"I'm Jocelyn Hunter." The girl told him, he saw her wipe her face with the sleeve of her top; he wasn't bothered was he?

Severus came back out of the train after finding an empty compartment to put his truck in, he went back outside to say goodbye to his parents; who were gladly getting along with one another for once.

Then he saw that girl from the shop and she was with that boy, he was going to get him back for that. Her hair was down again, and flew behind her as she turned around smiling.

Jocelyn tried to pick up the end of her truck but lost her grip and it fell, but someone was there before she even realised. She was just about to thank James when she looked up and saw that it wasn't him, but another lad; he might have only been eleven but he was quit handsome.

He smiled at her as he pulled her truck off the trolley and James got hold of the other end.

"Thanks mate." James said. "I'm James and this is Jocelyn."

"Sister?" He asked.

"No, but we did find out that we are distance cousins." James answered.

"Sirius." He said holding his hand out to Jocelyn.

"Yes he is, I know it sounds strange; but our parents fell out and hadn't talked to each other in years." Jocelyn said as she took his hand briefly and then moved out of the way so they could get on the train.

He was smiling at her, but she didn't know why.

"So what's your name?" James asked him.

"Sirius Black." He told them, they both looked at him. "Yes I know, but it's my name."

"It's nice." Jocelyn told him.

"Yeah course, I just have to take all the jokes; my name might be Sirius but I'm not." Sirius told them.

"Good thing too, that would be boring." James told him.

Severus sat in his first class next to another Slytherin waiting for the lesson to start, though the Gryffindor's hadn't arrived yet; which didn't surprise him one bit from the ones he had already meet.

Jocelyn walked in with another girl who had red hair and green eyes; they were both laughing and smiling as they took their seats. She looked over at Severus briefly and then quickly looked away again.

James and Sirius came in behind them laughing loudly at something; they saw him as well and started to laugh even louder.

"It was so obvious that he was going to be Slytherin, you just have to look at him to know." James told Sirius as they sat down.

Jocelyn turned round as Remus and Peter sat down behind them, James and Sirius smiled at her.

"Maybe you shouldn't have thrown all those books at him." Jocelyn said.

"For what I've heard he desired it, he called you a mud blood; no one desires to be called that." Sirius told her.

"It doesn't make it right though." Lily told them.

"Well hopefully he learnt something." James said. "And that's to not call people things like that; I can't even say it..."

Severus was in his fifth year, he was walking back from the library alone again; he liked spending time on his own without other people annoying him talking about nonce. When someone bumped into him and giggled.

"Hi Sev, library again; what are you trying to do read all the books before you leave?" Jocelyn teased.

"No...and don't call me Sev." Severus told her, his cheeks slightly going pink.

"What ever...so Sev...I was wondering...well considering how well we get on and all..." Jocelyn tried to say. "I was wondering if you would like to go to the dance with me?"

Severus almost fell over but Jocelyn caught him in time and smiled at him, as his normal white face went bright red.

"Shall I take that as a yes?" Jocelyn asked.

"Hey Jocelyn, there you are I've been looking all over for you." Sirius shouted down the corridor as he walked up to them, with James, Remus and Peter behind him.

Severus quickly pulled away from her, as Sirius walked up to her smiling ignoring him as though he wasn't even there.

"So my beautiful Jocelyn, will you go to the dance with me?" Sirius asked her smiling.

Even though she had just asked Severus a moment ago, she couldn't help but smile ago with Sirius; by the way he had asked her. He seemed to take her smile as a yes, he hugged her and then kissed her; Severus stormed off knocking into the two of them as he passed.

"What's wrong with him?" Sirius asked looking over her shoulder for a moment and then turned back to her. "Who cares...?"

Jocelyn smiled at him, as they walked back to the common room; and Lily was disappointed to find out that she had said yes to Sirius.

Jocelyn wore her up, and wore a beautiful long flowie lilac dress with gloves; Sirius spun her around on the dance in his dress robes. He looked even move handsome then normal, and she was the one dancing with him while every other girl wished that they were in her place. She had been so surprised that he was such a good dancer, she had thought that he would stand on her toes but he hadn't once though she had lost count who many times he had tried to kiss her.

She notice Severus, he was alone and was watching her; part of her wanted to ask him to dance. But she knew that she couldn't because Sirius and everyone would never talk to her again; but if he asked her to dance then it would be different. She didn't know why she cared so much, considering how horrible he was to her at times; but she also knew that Sirius and his friends bullied him as well and it was a lot worst.

Sirius spun her around again catching her in his arms smiling at her, he was just about to lead in to kiss her when Severus rushed past and almost knocked her off her feet; but Sirius had very good reflexives and caught her in time.

"That stupid git." Sirius said as he pulled her to her feet.

Jocelyn walked out of the hospital smiling and walked down muggle London, no one would guess by looking at her that she was a witch unless you knew her. She had a knee length jacket and jeans, all nice bright colours but everyone else was dressed the same.

She saw someone dressed all in man, she knew him anywhere; she ran over to him and nudged him in the back.

"Hey Sev, I can't believe that you would come down." Jocelyn said smiling at him brightly.

He didn't mind her calling him Sev; well she was the only one who was aloud too. He smiled back at her, as she linked his arm and they carried on walking.

"Well I might not like the bastard, but..." Severus started.

"Well...I'm pregnant." Jocelyn told him.

Severus stopped dead and then pulled his arm out of hers; she just looked at him confused.

"I'm sorry, but...I can't do this." Severus told her.

"What, but Sev." Jocelyn said but it was too late, he had already apperated and no one had even realised that she was all alone.

He had been told to late and he knew it, he rushed over to her house as quickly as he could; but they were already there. None of them even notice that he had arrived; he was just another Deatheater there to enjoy the fun to them. But this was fun to him.

Severus looked up just in time to see her house being destroyed, the explosive throw them back. Severus landed hard on the ground; he could hear the other Deatheaters laughing; as explosions carried on around them.

And she was gone, he had lost her...or had he?

(A/N:- well that was the first chapter hoped you enjoyed it, there will be more to come; just hopefully not as confusing. I know it was mostly flashbacks, but it was just setting the story and the character's who you're going to meet in up coming chapters.)
