Chapter 13: Idiot Boy
Mid-January 1972
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
The hallways were dimly lit as the stars twinkled against the sky. The castle was quiet, with the occasional murmur as a student whisked through a corridor to get to their dormitory.
Severus sat curled in the Potions supply closet, hugging his knees close to his chest and rocking gently back and forth. There was some sort of aura encircling the room as the potions supplies sat ever so still along their shelves, some the potential to poison, others the potential to heal.
Severus stared at the empty classroom through the doorway of the closet, He hated Potter. He hated Potter and his little cronie, Black. Especially Black, the boy was supposed to be in Slytherin. He was a perfect example of a spoiled idiot who had wasted his pureblood. Severus hoped that Black at least got some sort of punishment for being in Gryffindor.
And Potter...oh, did Severus have a lot to say about Potter. The boy was absolutely spoiled and got all of the attention he could ever want. Nobody ever seemed to notice how idiotic and cruel he was. Severus had never expected a bully to have so many friends and attract so much attention. Only a true idiot boy could become so popular through being a lunatic prat.
At times, Severus wished he could just graduate Hogwarts already. He didn't want to go home, because he was so tired of his parents' constant bickering.
A tear rolled down Severus' cheek. He had really relied on Hogwarts as being his home, but instead he was being bullied. He was being surrounded by yelling all over again, and in a way, it wasn't any different than what he heard at home.
Perhaps that was one reason why Severus loathed James and Sirius so much, because the way they yelled at him and targeted his flaws was really quite similar to his parents' behaviors at home. But it didn't matter to Snape, because to him, they were all idiots.
