A/N: I AM SO HAPPY! I REMEMBERED TO UPDATE!
Previously on Severus, The Boy That All Hate …
"James," Richard said, "where did Severus go?" "Oh, him?" James asked, "He, erm, didn't want to be here any more. He said something about not liking his father for not telling him about being a wizard and ran out the front doors into the car. I don't know if he took off or not, because I didn't bother to look." "Great, James, great. Didn't you even think that we didn't want him to run away?" Richard asked, getting slightly angry at his careless son. "Well, I guess we have to go see where he is," Detrius said, acting rather calmly about the whole thing, "Thanks for the tea, Richard. I expect I'll be seeing you soon. Good day." And without another word said, he strode out the door after Severus.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Detrius quickly walked outside, expecting to have to search for hours to find his son, but was pleasantly shocked that his son was sitting in the car, and had appeared to have dozed off. Relief flooded him like a city covered in rushing waters after a huge rainstorm … but was quickly replaced by anger at his son for leaving anyways. What reason did he have?!?
"Severus! Wake up! Now!" he screamed into the car after he had opened the door. The boy jumped – his heart beating a hundred miles a minute and a slight dizziness over coming him from sitting up so suddenly. He saw his dad and relaxed a little; reassured that the person who had woken him. Then he looked at his father's face, and instantly his entire being was filled with anxiousness – he was angry, and an angry Detrius was not a pleasant thing to encounter.
"Ummm … Hello, father. What's wrong?" Severus asked, knowing that it probably had something to do with James. He didn't trust that boy. What did he tell my dad …
"I was drinking tea and talking with Richard, when James came in. Without you. And he said you ran away because I didn't tell you that you were a wizard before now," Detrius started, but never got to finish because he was interrupted by his son screaming –
"THAT LYING MAGGOT! HE PROMISED THAT HE'D TELL YOU I WENT TO WAIT IN THE CAR BECAUSE WE WERE BOTH BORED!"
"Alright, alright, calm down, will you? You're going to wake the Four Founders from their graves with the volume of your voice right now," Detrius calmly said, trying to quiet his loud son.
"I hate him. I'm never going to be friends with him. No matter how good of friends you and his father are. Never," Severus said, ignoring the scathing looks his father was giving him.
"Well, we'll just have to see about that. I'm sure as time goes on, you'll learn to get along. Now, why don't we go to Diagon Alley and get all of your school supplies, eh? Goodness knows how many things we have to purchase for school!" Detrius suggested, and with a slight nod from his son, climbed into the drivers seat of the car, started the engine, and drove away from the Potter household, for which Severus desperately hoped, would be the last time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Severus walked around Diagon Alley, half-mindedly listening to his father talking excitedly about everything they saw there. Honestly, if anyone were to pay close enough attention to the pair, they would have assumed that it was the father who had never been to the street before, not the child.
But no matter how uninterested Severus seemed to be, he was completely engrossed with everything that he didn't even care when someone bumped into him.
"Sorry," he said quietly, still not paying much attention to the person who had ran into him.
"Watch where you're going! You've obviously never been here before. A mudblood, aren't you? Filthy. I'll have to burn these robes now, you know," a pale, blonde boy said in a impolite manner.
"Mudblood? What in the bloody name of everything is that?" Severus asked to no one in particular, but the blonde boy didn't notice that it wasn't directed at him, and took the initiative to answer.
"A mudblood is someone whose parents are muggles. And if you're idiotic enough to not know what that is, it's a person with no magic in them. Filthy creatures, they are. So, are you, or are you not?"
"No, he isn't," Detrius said, stepping in to save his son from having to talk to the disrespectful little boy any longer, "He's a pure blood, so you'd better watch your step, Lucius."
"How did you know his name, father?" Severus asked.
"I'm one of his father's, shall we say, colleagues?" Detrius replied, not wanting to let his son know the dreadful things he does. A smile broke out on Lucius's face.
"Oh, I'm sorry sir. Don't tell my father about my rudeness, I'm sure he wouldn't be very pleased, and if you know him well enough, you know he's rather dreadful when angered, don't you think?" he said.
"Yes, outrageous temper he has. Now, I actually have some business to attend to with your father, so would you mind showing Severus here around the Alley? He's got all of his school supplies already, so I just need you two to stay out of trouble until I come to retrieve him, alright?"
"Yes," they both said simultaneously. They smiled – they'd found their partners in crime. Their first year at Hogwarts was going to be the greatest … Pranksters of Hogwarts. Heh … let's see James do anything to me now, Severus thought quietly, let him try something now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ah, Detrius! How good of you to come see me!" a very tall, very blonde man said very sarcastically. Work partners or not, Detrius Snape and Desdem Malfoy did NOT get along well, as both of them were competing for the Dark Lord's right hand man position.
"What's prompted you to pay me a visit, old friend?" he asked, his voice laced with disdain and hate.
"So lovely to see you too," he said, his voice dripping with almost as much disregard as Desdem's, " It's actually a matter of our sons. It seems they've become acquaintances, and if it keeps up, they're likely to be the new trouble makers of Hogwarts. They're actually together right now, in Diagon Alley. Now, if I were you, I wouldn't mention to your son that you hate me so much, seeing as he knows I work with you. We don't want our future Death Eaters turning against each other, do we?"
"No, I suppose not. But, this does not change anything. We're still in this to the end … until I get the right hand man spot … until you're finally below me in the real world where it matters," he replied icily, glaring at Detrius as if he were a fettuccini noodle that was strangling him (hahaha the "fettuccini noodle" thing was an inside joke of sorts at school … lol … sorry … onto the story).
Without responding, Detrius left to go finish a few errands before picking up his son from Diagon Alley.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Soooo … what do you want to do?" Severus asked, quite bored, just like Lucius was.
"How about we plan pranks against the Gryffindor's. They're bound to be irritating, and we'll need to get them back. Any ideas?"
"No, not really. But I've got an idea of whom though," Detrius said.
"Go on, who?" Lucius urged, wanting to know who he was going to be doing these malicious things to.
"James Potter," Severus said, "I've met him, he's the most irritating bugger in the entire world. If I get my hands on him … anyways, he's bound to be in Gryffindor anyways."
"Yes, yes, a wonderful idea. I've wanted to get him since I met him when we were four. He'll be an excellent first target. Now as to a plan, I believe I have one, involving a few simple spells that can be learned very quickly and a very, VERY angry animal …"
And with that, the two accomplices started to plan their payback on James Potter. Payback for nearly getting Severus in trouble, payback for whatever he had done to anger Lucius, and payback for absolutely no reason at all except for the two young boy's wicked senses of humor.
