Sorry this has taken so long, it's a mix of writers block and a load of Shit going on in my life right now, but chapter three is up :) Enjoy :)

Anon, i don't see it as OOCness, i just see it as a back story! I hope this helps explain it somemore!

JustAGirl019 I hope this is kind of what you wanted :)

Draco

"I…" Draco stammered, still reeling from what he'd just seen. There were many things Draco could imagine doing, self harm wasn't one of them. It wasn't in Snape's Character. Draco looked at Severus, "Sir, I'll tell you, if you tell me why you did."

Severus

Severus closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. Of course Draco would find a way to delay having to try and explain anything; it was what he had done so many years ago…

Flashback

"Sev, please, talk to me." Lilly Evans said, looking up at him pleadingly.

"It's a nice day today." Severus replied, hoping with all his might that Lilly would understand to drop the subject.

"We have to talk about this!" Lilly said, desperation evident in her voice.

"I really like days like these, the sun is warm." Severus whispered, closing his eyes, still begging for Lilly to stop talking.

Lilly sat up and took his hands, "Tell me what's wrong Sev, please. And don't even think about lying to me, I know you to well."

"No you don't! You know NOTHING about me! Just fuck off!" He had yelled.

Lilly looked at him sadly, "Ok." She got up and left him sitting there, by himself.

Flashback ends.

He clenched his fists tightly at the memory. Unlike Lilly, he wasn't going to drop the subject. Even though all those years ago he had convinced himself he didn't want to talk to anyone, he knew now that he really did, he had just been scared.

Severus looked at Draco.

"Ok Draco, I will tell you, but you have to understand that once I have, you can not tell anyone, especially not your father. Also, understand that this is not a get out of jail free card, you are going to talk to me when I'm done."

Draco looked at him and nodded.

Sev took a deep breath, "When I was younger, I lived with my parents, we were your average family, had everything going for us. Then one day, when I was nine, my mother was killed in a freak accident. It hit my father and I hard, but him more so than I. After the funeral he began to drink. My father had always been a violent drunk, even before my mother's death, but he was worse now. He would hit me, whip me and sometimes… sometimes he would…rape me." Severus stammered on the last sentence. He had never admitted that to anyone.

"One day, he beat me so hard and made me do so much that I was certain I was going to die that night. However, I woke up the next day and I realized something, I was angry that I wasn't dead. I'm not sure what made me pick up the blade, but I did." Severus finished.

He looked over at the boy who was staring at him, mouth wide open.

"You're catching flies Draco." Severus stated.

Draco shut his mouth but continued to stare at him.

"You've heard my story," Severus told the boy, "now I need to hear yours."

Sorry it's short! Please R&R! XxX
