Chapter eight- The son of Professor Snape
The platform bustled with excitement as children from ages eleven to seventeen boarded the steaming scarlet train to once again make their way to the remarkable place known as Hogwarts.
Little eleven year olders were seen leaning out the window, waving good bye to their parents who were proudly watching their children. The platform 9 ¾ was loud with yells, laughs, and joyous cries as friends met up with each other once again after two long months of being away from one another (a/n is that right? Two months of summer holiday?).
One lone figure stood away from all the loud chatter of the happy family and friends. It wasn't that he didn't want to go out there and join them, it was just that he couldn't, because he knew he'd see his friends and probably blow his cover....
He sat in an empty compartment, reading the most recent weekly potion's magazine called 'Brewers.' The boy had long, straight raven black hair and glowing emerald green eyes and if any of his fellow classmates would have happened to peek inside on him, they would have noticed a certain familiarity between the new kid and their potion's master. Indeed, his eyebrows arched above his eyes, his features were sharp, his cheekbones more prominent.... On the boy's forehead was a scar that looked as if he had been sprayed by broken glass, it was merely a bunch of crooked lines all jumbled up together. It wasn't that noticeable though.....people who had managed to get a peek at the boy before he retreated into the compartment hadn't even noticed it at all....
Damien Snape listened as the chatter slowly died down and it was made apparent that all the children were finally boarded. His peaceful silence was suddenly interrupted as the compartment door flew open and he looked up to see a freckled red headed boy and a bushy haired girl staring down at him, they were holding hands but looked very upset about something.
The red headed boy gapped at Damien in shock. Damien (a/n I am going to mainly be calling Harry Damien from now on) raised an eye at the two of them, "May I help you?" he stated coolly, eyeing the two with slight disgust. The boy looked as if he were about to say something rather rude when the girl cut him off by saying, "Um...sorry to bother you we're just looking for one of our friends....have you seen Harry Potter around?" she asked curiously.
Damien arched an eyebrow, "No I haven't.....is that all?"
The boy looked as if he were about to say something again but was cut off by the girl again, "No thank you......my name is Hermione Granger by the way and this is Ron Weasley......we hope you will enjoy it here at Hogwarts........you are new aren't you? You certainly don't look like a first year...." She said this all rather fast but Damien managed to catch it.
He nodded slowly, "Yes...well I suppose Hogwarts will have to do...." He said in a drawling, bored voice. "Damien Snape...." He said to the two.
The boy looked absolutely repulsed but the girl nodded and held out her hand, "Nice to meet you Damien." Damien took it awkwardly before looking expectantly at the boy, who merely scowled at him before turning and walking out the door without another word.
"You'll have to excuse Ron" Hermione said in an wary voice. "He's a bit prejudice of Slytherins and well.....since you are related to the head of the house he is sort....well..." Hermione blushed slightly at her boyfriend's prejudice.
"Is Professor Snape your father?" she asked hesitantly.
"I would think that was a bit obvious considering how much I look like him..." Damien said arching a calculating eyebrow at Hermione.
She blushed even deeper, "Well.....I'll see you later, Damien...." And with that she went off after her boyfriend, shutting the compartment door as she went out of it.
Damien sighed and leaned back against the seat. He couldn't believe he had just pulled that off.... His father had taught him how to hide his emotions well over the summer, most of it was because of Occlumency, which he was getting better at.
He would have to be a completely different person with a completely different personality, which meant he had to be a little more sarcastic and haughty. It pained him to be horrible to his two friends but he had to or he would blow his cover....
The compartment doors flew open for the second time and Damien stared up into Draco Malfoy's pale, pointed face who was as always, flanked with both Crabb and Goyle
"So its true then?" the blonde drawled and a smirk formed on his pale face. "Professor Snape's son has come to Hogwarts...."
"Is it really that hard to believe that my father can reproduce?" Damien said coldly, but this time the hatred was real. "Because I don't really like to be looked at as if I am an animal at the circus...."
Malfoy smirked in satisfaction and nodded, "I'm Malfoy- Draco Malfoy..." He held out his hand and Damien had a flash of their first year but this time, he instead took Malfoy's hand with feigned sincerity. "Damien Snape, pleasure to meet you Draco" he said. "Oh ya and this is Crabb and Goyle" he said gesturing to the two tree sized boys behind him.
Damien gave them each a nod and returned to his book while Malfoy left for prefect duty's, Crabb and Goyle following him. 'Well at least that's over' he thought.
The lady from the food trolly came but he was to nervous to eat anything.
A couple minutes later the door flying open for the third time again interrupted him. He sighed, expecting to see Malfoy but instead looked up into the pretty face of Ginny Weasley. Damien swallowed and prayed that he wouldn't have to be to hard on her. The red head looked at him up and down and smiled, "Hermione told me their was a new kid on the train........Are you really Snape's son?"
Damien merely stared at her and she blushed, "I'm sorry.....I don't mean to make it sound like your some kind of entertainment its just.....hard to believe...."
Damien nodded, "Might as well get used to it huh?" he cracked a small smile at the girl as she sat down across from him. Ginny giggled slightly, "That's not the only reason people are going to be staring.....at least for the girls that is...." Her hands suddenly flew up to her mouth and she blushed deeper, "I did not say that out loud..." she murmured threw her hand. "No, you didn't I can just read minds.......Damien Snape by the way, nice to meet you Ginny" Damien replied, smirking.
Ginny looked as if she were about to say something else but the door flew open and a VERY angry Ron Weasley stomped in, "And just what do think your doing to my little sister you Slytherin trash!!!" the red faced boy roared. "Ron leave him alone we were just talking!" Ginny snapped and Ron turned toward her, "As for you! You go to 'Mione and mine's compartment!" "Don't tell me what to do!" Ginny shouted back, "I don't need you holding my hand, I'm not a little girl anymore!" she snapped as she stood up and Damien noted in amusement that Ron actually shrunk back slightly. Well they all knew who Ginny inherited her temper from.
"But Ginny he's a Slytherin!"
"Not yet he's not...!"
"He might as well be one considering who his father is!"
"Who gives a crap who his father is?! How can you judge the son by the father Ron?! For all you know Damien could be nothing like Snape!"
"Bu-"
"RON!!!" a new voice sounded and an angry Hermione appeared at the door. "What is with all this yelling?" she hissed, "You are a prefect, you are supposed to set a better example for littler kids!"
"Well Ginny was in here with the git's son..."
"Oh not this again Ron! When are you going to see threw your stupid prejudices?"
Ron opened and closed his mouth several times before whirling around and storming off. Hermione sighed and turned to Damien, who had watched the exchange play out silently.
"You'll have to excuse Ron, he's a little shallow minded..." Hermione sighed, "He really isn't that bad.....I guess he's just worried about Harry...." She trailed off and suddenly turned and hurried out of the compartment.
"Sorry about Ron...." Ginny said. Damien shrugged, "Like I said before, might as well get used to it huh?" he said breezily. Ginny looked at the floor, "Ya, well he had no right to say what he did...well I'd better get back to Ron before he has a seizure....I'll see you later Okay?" Damien nodded and she gave a small wave before setting off after her brother.
*********************
Damien got off the train and heard Hagrid's familiar yell of, "Firs' years! Firs' years over 'ere!"
Hagrid raised his bushy eyebrows at Damien, "You tha new ki'?" Damien nodded, "Well then.....your to folla' me in the boats with tha firs' years now...." Damien loaded the boat as they began to sail over the dark lake, he heard the intake of breath at the first year's first sighting of Hogwarts.
They stepped up the stone steps and waited until Professor McGonagall marched up in her dark emerald robes. "Welcome to Hogwarts! In a few minutes you shall pass threw these doors and join your classmates but you first must be sorted. The houses are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin, your triumphs will gain your house points, any rule breaking and you shall loose points. At the end of the year the house with the most points shall be awarded the House Cup....."
Professor McGonagall glanced over the crowd, stopping her gaze on Damien. She looked at him for a minute before nodding and saying, "Follow me.." With that she opened the large oak doors to the Great Hall and the chatter stopped almost at once as the first years and Damien filed into the enormous room.
Damien knew that most of the eyes were on him, he could hear whispers all around him as they stopped in front of the stool where the sorting hat lie. (a/n- I'm not going to do the song since I'm not that good at them...)
The students and teachers applauded as Professor McGonagall started to read out names.
"Abbot, Jason"
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Berk, Markus"
"SLYTHERIN!"
"Chang, Charlie"
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Caput, Alexander"
"HUFFLEPUFF"
"Eden, Selena"
"RAVENCLAW"
Damien listened patiently as the first years were sorted and the crowd around him thinned. He suddenly felt very nervous.....more people were staring at him.
Finally the sorting was finished and Professor Dumbledore stood, Damien schooled his expression to remain emotionless.
"We have an exchange student who has come from a private school in America which has recently shut down. Do to that, and other events, his father which I am sure you all know, has requested for him to instead join us at Hogwarts, so I hope you will make him feel very welcome here...." He then nodded to Professor McGonagall who cleared her throat and said,
"Snape, Damien"
Damien held his breath as he slowly approached the stool, he caught a glance of his father's face, which like his remained emotionless.
He sat on the stool and heard the tiny voice in his head...
"Well well well what do we have here? Come to be sorting again Mr. Potter? Or should I say Mr. Snape? Ah yes well you never were at your best potential in Gryffindor...... I stand by where you should have been in your first year Mr. Snape. So better be.....SLYTHERIN!"
(@) I am NOT good at Hagrid's accent just to let you know.....
So, Damien....what do you think of that name?
I think I spelled a couple things wrong but I really wanted to put this up today so.......
Please review!!
