The Betrayal and the Payback

By Zero Flower 333

AU Fourth year. Lily abandons Snape not only because of his "practicing" the Dark Arts, but also because of her various selfish reasons of not wanting to associate herself with the dirty half-blood boy. With Lily's betrayal and with no true friends to rely on, what should Severus do? Should Snape forgive Lily for her betrayal or dish out revenge and find true love in the process? Would Severus join the Dark Lord or become a better man than the Marauders and Lily Evans combined? Would Lily and the Marauders regret their actions against Severus Snape or will they hate him for being sorted in Slytherin for eternity? Powerful Severus, Major Gryffindor/Dumbledore character bashing, Lily Evans bashing, Hogwarts bashing

Chapter Two: Lily and Petunia

Lily Evans was having a good time after humiliating Snivellus Snape. After she hurt him, she realized that she wanted to do more harm to him until he dies from the pain, gets sent to a hospital, or never sees his hideous face again, despite the fact Snivellus helped her by letting her copy his work and his spells. Afterwards, she would either tell James or Sirius about it and burn Snivellus' homework that he had given to her. Snivellus always gave in and whether he gives his homework to Lily, he always got zero points. When Lily saw the Professors asking Snivellus for his homework, he was in shock and they gave him detention for two days each of not handling the homework, especially as Lily knew what had happened. Everyone, even the Slytherins and Slughorn gave her a wink, causing Lily to smile, knowing that Slughorn never cared for Snivellus since he was unpopular and ugly, despite being in his own house.

Whether Snivellus goes to classes, all of the Professors would help anyone, but not Snivellus. They think that he is evil and a slacker, but they did not know that it was his inheritance that paid for their salaries and school supplies worth over three million galleons each year, since they never bothered to look at him. If they had, the Professors would had seen a student who was unknowingly super rich than the Potters and Malfoys combined and a brilliant mind who could create any potion or spell as long as he puts his mind into it. Since the Professors cared not a bit about Snivellus, they would suffer the consequences of their actions, through they were not blissfully aware yet.

Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew were not as good as James and Sirius, so she never got close to them because of their poverty and cowardly behavior. Lily only put up with these two because of James and Sirius…so she tolerated them but never talked to them other than homework and classroom unity. Lily once even found Lupin's eyes wallowed with guilt whether Snivellus was mentioned and she plans to tell James about this when they are alone at Potter Manor in the summer, hopefully with her parents' approval…

After humiliating Snivellus, Lily never saw him again, either in the halls or in the Hogwarts Express after the incident. That suited Lily Evans just fine and she went to talk to James and Sirius about Snivellus and plans to humiliate Snivellus in the next year of Hogwarts. Little did Lily know, Snivellus put a spell he created on her ( which is a new spell that he never told anyone and was invented after the post-Lake incident), a spell that could cause everyone to hear what Lily Evans was saying about him, along with the emotions and expressions, for a whole week nonstop. This spell, unlike others, could only cause everyone to hear within fifty feet or the entire London station based on what Lily was saying as long as Snivellus and topics related to him as the main subject; otherwise the spell would not work and everything would be as normal. James and Sirius had the spell also put on them by an invisible Severus Snape who was filled with anger, revenge, and bitterness. Also, unknowingly, Petunia Evans will hear about the conversations, especially since her high school was closed early because of a student death just a day ago…

After Lily got out of the Hogwarts Express, she and the Marauders were talking about Snivellus Snape and she said, unknowingly for all in the London Train Station to hear,

"Snivellus Snape is like my sister, Petunia. If you and James could come, you could prank Petunia and let Snivellus rot in his course."

"Snivellus deserves to die because of his existence, is that not right, James, Sirius? My parents hate Snape and Petunia."

"Die, Snivellus Snape, die! Petunia, I hate you for not trying to understand me, my half sister!"

"Snivellus and my so-called sister are related. James, Sirius, what should we call Petunia? Probably Petty will do, since she seems to be petty about everything, while Snivellus seems to snivel about anything. I am glad she is not here to listen to my conversation, James, otherwise I fear her anger and unforgiveness like how I treated Snivellus because of his existence."

"If not Petty, why not call Petunia Pettyia? Seems like she is like a dorky donkey, like Snivellus as a snake in sheep's clothing."

"I hope my parents approve of you, James. Damn Snivellus and Pettyia to hell…"

Everyone who was a Muggle gave her a strange look and thought that she was insane. Some of them glared at her of wishing someone, probably her friend, dead. Others were uncaring, trying to reach their next destination…

Lily felt uncomfortable by the stares and glares received, but when she saw her parents and James Potter, who came with her, she felt at ease, not knowing more eyes were glancing her strangely as she was walking home, with James Potter and talking about Snivellus Snape and to stay in the Potter Manor the entire summer while walking. Both Evanses smied, giving their approval, to which James and Lily walked together to Potter Manor, hand in hand…while people stared at them talking about Snivellus and Petunia together. James' parents were not picking him up this year; they were suffering from rebound magic for breaking the contract of the Princes, who restored them to their former glory. Since their son was not of age to get rebound magic disease, both Potter parents have to bear the burden for their son, bedridden and sick until James comes of age, which is seventeen years old or becomes a NEWT passed wizard, whichever goes first.

However, Lily's parents approved of this behavior. They made no secret they did not like Snivellus Snape and wanted Lily to ditch or harm him as soon as possible because they thought that he was poor and would harm their beloved Lily because of his stalking. As for James Potter, Hal Evans liked his sense of humor and Violet Evans wanted him as her son-in-law once Lily revealed to them how rich he was…but lately, they suffered from a sickness that caused them to vomit whether they were eating, but did not tell their beloved daughter, in fear of worrying her… in which they suffered because Lily broke her promise in the contract of the Prince Scholarship Fund, which she could accept the money for schooling, but not to harm any Prince member in anyway (whether legit or disowned), otherwise there would be suffering for her and her family. Until Lily gets judged by Snivellus Snape, her parents will bear her burden for her. Same for every family who treated Snivellus like scum or ignored his plight, they will suffer various diseases, defects, and minor sicknesses (stomachaches, foot pain, headaches nonstop) given to them by the force of magic, but they were unable to become Squibs or become fully restored until the day of the judgment of the Prince. The students will not suffer, but their parents will and the parents would have to endure the sicknesses, not knowing why they got this disease. No matter how many nurses in St. Mungo tried to help (especially the most experienced nurse), none of them could find out the source of the sicknesses caused by the force of magic herself. Even the Slytherin parents are not spared, because of the way they treated Snivellus at school. Their treatment of Snivellus Snape is like Lily Evans, except they do not hit him or wanting to harm him; it was just indifference whether Snivellus helped them with their work or not.

Unfortunately for Lily, Petunia heard the entire conversation about her and Snape. Petunia just got out of the train and on her left side, she saw Snape with a pained and betrayed expression. Petunia decided to chase after him to see what the situation was about and why Lily was so callous to both of them…

Granted, Petunia did not like Snape, but she never wished him dead. Petunia was also humiliated by Lily at home and was forced to do all the chores while Princess Lily just sits there and does nothing. At first, Petunia wondered why and now she understood. She was not fully her parents' daughter while Lily was the real daughter. This knowledge caused Petunia to only have resentment for her parents and Lily more than the poor boy next to her and she began to understand the unfairness of life. Not even being rejected by Hogwarts made her this sad and angry…

With a glance, Snape said, "Do you enjoy seeing this, Petunia?" Not using the name Tuney meant that Snape was upset about something.

Petunia looked at Snape with sadness and said,
"Of course not, Snape. I just wanted to help and understand why Saint Lily was saying these nasty things about us in public…"

Snape said, "Come with me and I will tell you why.."

Petunia agreed, not wanting to come home yet with the newfound knowledge. Both of them went to Spinner's End, only to find a Gringotts letter in the main entrance of the house. Snape picked up the letter and along with Petunia, were teleported to Gringotts…

Ouch! Lily and the evilness of the Professors revealed on how they treated Severus Snape throughout his five years of Hogwarts. No one cares about Snape and this will only hurt them, especially when they find out it was him who supported them, not anything else. Would you want to stay at a school with Professors treating you like they treated Severus for the last five years? Probably not, which makes Snape the most bravest person ever.

As for Petunia, she is in a nervous wreck and a bit sad. A student died in her school and her heritage is not what it seemed to be. Of course she would be confused. Is she OOC or in character here? As for the student death, it is Vernon Dursley. She wanted to ask him out, but Vernon died before Petunia could even ask him. Vernon died with a fight against another student, who seemed to hate Vernon's inheritance as the manager of Grunnings as soon as his father dies, so in jealousy, the furious student, Leonardo Spine, kills Vernon and then kills himself when he finds out about his heinous deed…hence why Petunia's school was closed.

Petunia is the half sister of Severus Snape, hence why her parents treat her like a servant and never cared about her wishes much. Lily was the much favored sister and Petunia never understood why, now that she heard the reason, she does not want to face the parents who treated her like Cinderella, telling her to do all of Lily's chores and cleaning the home each day. Petunia has reason to be resentful. Could this be the reason why Petunia hated wizards, Lily, and treated her nephew Harry Potter (in canon) as a servant because of her miserable past? Since they are related by one parent, this fic will not be a Snape/Petunia pairing. Even if Snape is paired, it will be only with one witch who he will stay loyal to for the rest of his life, not a harem filled with girls.

Since Petunia finds out she is Severus' sister, she will have a change in attitude, with dislike and eventually accepting of Severus and hatred for her parents and sister for treating them both in a horrible way…but will Petunia put aside petty hatred and fight against the family members that despised her?

In this fic, Severus will never join Voldemort. Why would he want to join an organization when everyone in the school who would join the organization treated him in such a horrible manner? He would do things his own way, with the help of goblins, various creatures, and the magical creatures of Hogwarts, who helped him in his time of suffering in the Forbidden Forest, hence why Lily nor any other student of Hogwarts saw Snivellus Snape in Hogwarts. Even when he was not seen, no one seemed to care about his disappearance because he was a poverty stricken half-blood boy.

No one in Hogwarts seems to research that Severus was descended from the mythical Prince family, which is a family that was cursed to give birth to only one child at a time in each generation, otherwise they might treat Severus better than the way you seen in my fic. This curse comes with power, hence why the number of Princes are limited. Remember, Petunia is a Snape, not a Prince, since her real father is Tobias Snape, so despite being half-siblings, Eileen was able to give birth to Severus. Afterwards, Tobias decided that he wanted another child, but Eileen, no matter how much lovemaking they did, cannot seem to birth or be pregnant anymore, hence why Tobias goes to drinking and Eileen hates Severus because he was a cursed child in the womb, not knowing that there was a curse in the Prince family that allowed them to give birth to only one child. When Augustus realized this after disowning his daughter, he does whether he can to remedy the situation, but cannot removed a disownment once it was enacted, so he willed everything to Severus Snape, living in isolation trying to fix everything before his death when Lily hurt him in the post-Lake incident, when Augustus could feel the pain of his only grandson (because of the massive force of magic) and died of a heart attack of the great pain, not from any other diseases (dragon pox) or being killed by Voldemort.

Lily will be punished in due time; is it not evil she told the Marauders to burn her best friend's homework, while getting him in trouble and seeing him in discomfort makes Lily very happy?

As for Gringotts and Snape's inheritance, next chapter is the key to find out what happened…

Augustus Prince was dead and leaves his entire inheritance to his only grandson, including the unpaid life debts and blood debts, since no Prince seemed to find a use for the debts yet…until Severus Snape.
