Challenge: Avarice

Characters: Snape, mention of James

He hated it. Feeling poorer than everyone else, watching Sirius and his friends laughing, eating sweets like there was no tomorrow.

It wasn't money that bothered Severus. It was the lack in friends he longed for most.

As each year went, his greed for friendship grew greater. His hate for people in his year multiplied.

Becoming a teacher at Hogwarts made his perspective changed. Suddenly it wasn't about making new friends: it was about making other people's lives just as miserable as his was.

As he saw the image of James walk through the Great Hall, his target changed altogether.
