Young Snape

It is an honor, nay, a privilege to speak now of my concerns for our beloved Mr.Snape's well being. As he grew up he received quite a handful of unpleasant things, and received an unbelievable overdose of misfortune. However, just when everything seemed a-okay, his world shattered apart again at the loss of Lily Evans; both as a friend,and colleague. Many people rave about how unfair Snape's life was, ans how it wasn't what any human would've bargained for (You may recall that he once said "Life isn't fair"), but have the Snape ravers ever stopped to consider that there is so much about Severs...

Chapter Nine

It had taken Severus seventeen apologies and eight promises of letting the budding relationship between Lily and Potter alone before Lily forgave him. It had taken two apologies and twenty-two promises of “I’ll keep everything between us away from you” before Severus forgave her. He was not happy with the new-found romance, nor would he ever be. But Lily was happy – Merlin only knew why – and Severus didn’t have it in him to keep fighting with her. Even if she had chosen Potter.

However, that hadn't stopped Potter from antagonizing Severus. And, while Severus wasn't going...

Her heart beat fast and her palms were sweaty. She had never wanted to leave Beauxbatons. Holly had been forced to transfer to Hogwarts after her father got a transfer at the International Ministry Of Magic Corp. Holly was an average height-ed girl at five foot six inches tall with deep shoulder-length red hair and electric blue-green eyes.
As she climbed onto the platform, she saw a huge man with a wild beard calling for the first years. "Alright, I'm not to go there" she thought. She was in her fifth year. Yet another reason to hate this transfer. She stood alone until a boy with a pointed...

The pumpkin juice was spilled all over Severus Snape's face, and some managed to dribble into his jet black hair (which in Lilly's opionion, wasn't greasy but more silky). His clothes were too big, and hung over him, like drapery on a curtain rod. "Sev," Lilly Evans hissed across the table, "there's some juice in your hair." He flushed a shade of scarlet, embarassed at the thought of how rediculous he must look. He grabbed a cloth napkin off the table, and seemingly scrubbed his face, as if rubbing it harder would make James Potter's laughter stop. Lilly caught Severus's hand. "You shouldn't...

Note: I'm not sure I like the way Slughorn came out - or the abrupt ending - so any comments on those would be much appreciated :)

Chapter Two

The walk back to the Slytherin common room was much longer and quieter, giving Severus ample time to think. There wasn't much that needed to be done to sever ties with the “wanna-be-Death-Eaters” – all he had to do was say he apologized to Lily – but he needed to think of a way to stop them from killing him. They wouldn't accept the fact he had...
