A/N: This is with the alternate Snape.

            Snape sat down at the Slytherin table gloomily.  He felt quite uncomfortable with all these discriminative pure bloods.  If Sirius, James and Remus were pulling a prank it was most defiantly going too far!  They knew how uncomfortable he felt around Slytherins especially Peter.  Why was Peter with them any way?  No one from Gryffindor could stand that miserable excuse for a life.

            "Severus," beckoned Luscious.

            When Snape heard his name called he was hesitant to answer.  He did not want to talk with anyone at this point, especially someone from Slytherin. But went over and sat next to Luscious anyway.

            "Severus, what was going on over there?  What were you doing with those Mudblood lovers?"

            "Don't use that word," answered Snape.

            "What word?" asked Luscious in surprise.

            "Don't say Mudblood.  It is a very insulting and crude word."

            "Have, you gone all soft on us Severus?  You know as well as the rest of us that Mudbloods do not belong in the wizarding society."

            "I –" started Snape stopping himself.

            "You were just playing a joke on us, that's all weren't you?" asked Luscious.

            "I –" stammered Snape.

            "Very funny," half laughed Luscious.

            Snape didn't say anything more, staying where he was.  He couldn't figure for the life of him why he was accepted at the Slytherin table, but he decided to go with the flow and disrupt the flow of things.  When lunch was over Snape was invited to the common room but denied it.  He decided to go to the library; he thought that if he could possibly figure out what was happening to him he would there.  At least that is what James, the James he knew, would do.
