Severus Snape's Journal
When one thinks of a using a journal one presumes that the journal should only be used as way to expel ones feelings. However, in this particular journal, I have been encouraged to write down my darkest secrets in order for my damaged soul to repair itself. I guess the best place to start would be the beginning…
…
When I was a boy; I lived in fear of my father. He was a cruel bastard who would strike my mother whenever he drank too much and no matter how hard I tried to please him he hated, no that's not the right word, he despised me and what's more he was ashamed to call me his son.
I though I was the luckiest boy alive when I was accepted into Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I was incredibly excited, not only because at a young age I valued every moment dedicated to learning, but because I had been given a chance to make my father proud. My father was a very handsome man, tall, slim but muscular, dark hair and eyes, he always seemed to have woman follow him around when he visited Knocturn Alley, my mother would always be so very proud of him, she really did love him deep down.
My mother was also a great beauty; Arabian goddess men would call her. Unfortunately for me I neither received geans from either my father or mother; instead I inherited my grandfather's Arabic nose, my grandmother's pale skin and emaciated body. Although my mother would always coo about how adorable I was, my father would look sick whenever he saw me and pretend I was no child of his when he was forced to take me out for new clothes or other items.
My first few years at Hogwarts, became harder and harder for me to bare, no one would accept me. Maybe it was because of my looks or love of knowledge or perhaps a mixture of the two, but however hard I tried I could not make friends.
That was until I met Lilly. She was an incredibly beautiful witch, whose knowledge was exceedingly well ranged and to top it all off was a muggleborn. Unfortunately she was friends with my mortal enemies, the Potter clan. The group consisted of three boys that made my life at Hogwarts a living hell. Not only would they beat me, they would also call me names and embarrass me in front of my peer's day in and day out.
To say it bluntly I despised them dearly.
…
Carefully Draco shut the book and placed it on the floor beside him. Bringing a hand up before his face he rubbed his temples and sighed. He knew from his father that his uncle's life was hard. He also shared in the same respect that he loathed his own father as well. Since his very first day at school Snape and he had an understanding, a type of bond like a father and son would have.
Pity he had to use him now for a way out of his life.
Gathering the book tenderly into his arms, he proceeded in locking it in a hidden box under his bed with numerous amounts of protective wards. Afterwards he grabbed his cloak and headed for the Slytherin common room.
Blaise was going to flip when he told him the news, he thought happily.
…
That night, after talking to Blaise for a few hours Draco replayed in his mind the expression on Blaise's face when he told him about the journal.
He could tell Blaise was a fair bit frightened, but underneath he knew how excited Blaise was at the prospect of running off with him. Every student at Hogwarts including one professor Snape thought that Pansy Parkinson and he was an item. It just made him shudder at the mere thought of it. He only used Pansy as a cover up for his desire for Blaise, growing up together had brought Blaise and himself into a very tight brotherhood which slowly blossomed into a relationship. He knew Blaise felt the same emotions towards him, because only just last week Blaise confessed his feelings that he had for him one night while they were talking at the Olary. It had been a very special moment for him, and he would never let his father get in the way of their knew relationship… Never.
P.s I know my grammar isn't very good, so if anyone would like to help me punctuate these chapters I would be delighted.
