Divorced Lives

Chapter 2

Flashbacks

Severus Snape sat on a swing in his back yard and stared moodily at the empty one next to him. His son and he swing on the same swing set everyday when he was there; a grand total of four days a month.

To top off his mood, Harry Potter now lived across the street from him. He didn't hate him, it was just that he had to mask his feelings around him, it was no walk in the park; especially with Sirius watching him 24/7.

Harry's now legal guardian was Sirius now so he had to endure Padfoot, pretending that he didn't care; but when Harry wasn't looking they would share a quick smile. He missed his days as a marauder, the first time they accepted him.

*Flashback to when Sev was 12 years old*

He was an outcast, a total loser at school who got good grades. Nobody talked to him, why would they? Well, nobody talked to him except James Potter, his only friend.

"What's wrong?" James asked him.

"Oh the usual." Severus would reply.

"Oh ignore those snobs! You're way better than them anyway!"

"Oh yeah, I'm way better than them. Listen, I'm not that stupid, Tom gave me the all clear that I was a useless git."

"Oh that Tom Marvolo Riddle is nothing but trouble! Just get him out of your mind or picture him being eaten by like a giant lizard or something." Severus laughed. "Plus, I got a few friends that I want you to meet."

"Ok Prongs."

"Now turn the frown upside-down and let's go Pouncer!"

James took Sev into the Gryffindor Common Room up to a statue of Godric Gryffindor and said, "I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good." the statue opened.

"You have a dirty little secret don't you?"

"Nope, this is just our new room, I hope you like sharing."

"With you?"

"And three other guys."

"Are they mean and evil?"

"Nope, they're just like us ok?"

"Alright."

James took Severus through the opening behind the statue; the room was awesome. It was a huge room with tons of crimson and yellow couches. There was another room which was the master bedroom. It had five king size beds with a closet for each. There was a big screen tv and little ones with head phones on the nightstand of each bed.

"This place is great!" exclaimed Severus.

"It used to be Godric Gryffindor's but the headmaster said it would be okay if we used it."

"So, where are the other three?"

"Let me show you Pouncer." he took him into another room where it looked as if it was the library. Three people were sitting on bean bag chairs reading some type of book and were laughing.

"Hey guys, I'd like you to meet one of my best friends, Pouncer, also known as Sev or Severus Snape."

"Hey," they all replied.

James took Sev over to the smallest of the three, with mouse brown hair. "This is Peter, or Wormtail, he transforms into a mouse." He took him over to a kid with long dark hair who resembled James. "This is Sirius, or Padfoot, he's a dog," he took him over to a kid with long brown hair with it looked like golden eyes, "and this, is Remus, or Moony. Um, he has a little problem." James looked at Moony for any signs of, 'Don't tell him' but it wasn't there so he continued. "He's a werewolf."

"Really?" Sev asked.

"Yep, and once a month he goes to an abandoned house while he transforms. I had the idea that we should go as our Animangus selves so we can keep an eye on him, what say you?"

They all agreed, and that was settled.

*End of Flashback*

Severus smiled at the thought of his childhood. Who would of thought that after hanging out with them, he immediately became popular. It was very funny actually. Well no not really.

James saved his life on more than one occasion, too bad he hooked him up with Lexi Malloy, Spence's mom. Well, at least he had Spence though, once a month. He should be coming over on the weekend, pity he lives next to Tom Riddle.

A/N: Just so you know, Tom never became Voldemort, his twin brother Mat did, Tom's just annoying. So please be nice and review!! 7
