Severus age:15

Severus was a nervous wreck his hands were trembling and he found that he couldn't focus it was the day before the OWL exams and he didn't know what to do he had taken a break when the words on his study sheets had started to blur but now the exam was a day away and he still didn't feel prepared Remus hardly seemed to care about the exam despite the fact it could make or break their careers. he had been headed to dinner a bit later than most of the students but he was studying and in his mind studying was much more important than a meal, he had snacks in his room. he was walking down the hall when he began to feel his head pounding he stopped in his tracks closing his eyes hoping that would stop the pounding against his head he opened his eyes again trying to get to the great hall he turned the corner seeing the door as he fainted and everything went dark. he shifted wondering when he had fallen asleep he thought he was headed to dinner Severus slowly opened his eyes only to realize he wasn't in his dorm but in the hospital wing, he turned to his right seeing his brother sitting there. "Remus what's going on ...what happened ."

"Well, dear brother you are the talk of the school I can see the headline now headmaster's son faints trying to get to dinner but seriously Sev dude Malcolm McKinney found you and was sure you were dead mom came out and screamed when she saw you it was a mess ."

"How long was I out ?"

"We found you last night and the next day ."

Severus groaned "nooo I'm supposed to take my owls today I can't stay here ."

"SIT DOWN SEVERUS SNAPE DUMBLEDORE !" Severus looked at the door seeing his dad standing there.

"Will all due respect sir, I'm supposed to be taking my mandatory OWLS exam soon! "

"Your exams have been moved, they will be three days from now."

"Thank you, sir ."

" your welcome ...you scared us Severus do you know why you fainted. "

"I think so but it's a bit embarrassing ." Severus blushed looking away from his brother and father. " do you want to tell us ?"

"Kinda well well I was freaking out ...about the exam and I might have skipped a few meals and had a panic attack so bad I blacked out ."

"Hum that is unfortunate sev why didn't you come to your mother or I we would have helped you ."

"I know I just felt weak I wanted to prove to myself I could handle this like everyone else even Remus wasn't freaking out so I'm just a freak ." he jumped as his brother tackled him in a hug on the hospital bed basically pinning him there "Severus never and I mean NEVER call yourself a freak and dude your so dull of course everyone is freaking out about the test but no one talks about it at least not to each other but I tell my friends or my family you doof .'' Remus went to hug his brother again Severus groaned "okay alright you mutt you made your point now get off me. '' he laughed as he pushed his brother off of the bed.

Thankfully his dad didn't make him stay in the hospital wing so he spent the next few days going over the Owl study guides and Using coping mechanisms to ease his anxiety it wasn't perfect but it helped. so it came as a surprise to no one when both dumbledore sons passed their OWL exams.
