The Truth About Snape
INFO: Many wander why Snape hates Harry so much, but by closely looking and rereading the books, I have come to a simple conclusion. Please read on to find out more.
Chapter 1
Severus was not always the way he is today. Sure he was a pure blood wizard to parents whos families went on for generations, but he was never loved. As a child he was spoilt, bought up thinking that all muggle born witches and wizards were in his case, vermin. His father was a very respectable man who worked for the Ministry of Magic as the Ministers undersecretary. He barely had time to spend with his one and only son, who as all young boys wanted to be just like his father.
At the age of 7, Severus was no longer an only child, his mother gave birth to his sister, Guinevere. Now all the attention was on the new addition to the family, Severus was pushed out of the picture and now spent all of his time in the basement. Here he could do what he pleased, nobody could hear him because they were two floors above.
Severus took a keen interest in the dark arts and from the age of 7 to 11 he had collected book after book, from his fathers office or bought from second and first hand shops. He had his own collection, well his own library of books from dangerous hexes to the most powerful curses and fatal spells. This was most impressive, he knew things many and no doubt his own father knew!
Finally, his acceptance letters had arrived for the wizarding school Hogwarts, though he had his heart set on Durmstrang, even now his parents should have been proud of him. But they were not, lost in the prospects of raising a perfect daughter shone in their eyes, but who was going to miss him when he isn't there for Christmas? Who was going to help him pick out his first cloak, or shop for his new school books? Severus knew from in side his heart he as to grow up quicker than he should, he has to be his own man for his father was doing a poor job.
From the day he was born, Severus had a vault in Gringotts, where his life savings were kept, his key had been hid in a book in his father office for many years and he knew where it was.
Going into his fathers office was a big risk, because of the books going missing, his father did not like anybody going into it without his permission, though Severus could see his father patting him on his back and saying "Of course you can my boy, course you can!" So being as silent as possible he crept into the office.
"And were do you think you are going...boy?" His father was sitting in the dark, behind his desk, watching, waiting.
Hope you all liked my version. Sorry I left you were I did, but that's just a taster. Please review, plus I need some students in his time at Hogwarts, so if you would all like to add a name you think would suit you in Hogwarts and the house you wish to be in, then I would be more than happy to put it in, thank you!
