Princes and pretty privilege
"Sev..."
"Later" Severus continued stirring his potion now and turned to start preparing the next in gradients.
"Sev.
"Later"He crushed the Sopophorous bean, turning to add it, completely ignoring the outdated potions book.
"Severus!" Lily shouted, causing people to give them weird stares.
"I said later!" He shouted finishing the last steps on his potion. "What could possibly be so important that it can't wait until after class? You barely talk to me this entire year and the one time I don't have time for you, that's when you NEED to make things right? I can't go on like this Lily, my life and time can't revolve around you." he said finally snapping at her, sighing and calling professor slughorn over before Lily could reply.
"I finished my potion sir. Might I take my leave?" he asked as the professor came to inspect his potion by dropping leave into it and watching it dissolve.
Severus smirked as Slughornes face plot into a grin "well ill say! It is perfect! So perfect I could say one drop would kill us all!" the professor exclaimed pulling Snape to the side and away from Lily, as Snape had predicted.
"I knew you would surprise me! Right then, here we are, one bottle of Felix felices, as promised. Use it well! Although from the change in appearance, I'm assuming you've already wandered into a fair share of luck, hmm." the man smiled patting Severus head which earned him a glare that resembled more a pout.
Severus turned to leave but was stopped "oh and Severus I have been meaning to speak to you. I was wondering if this year you would be interested in joining my slug club! There are many advantage to it and it will look great when applying for internships!" Slighorn said, a gleam rivaling Dumbeldor's in his eye.
"Ill think about it" Snape said, his mind drifting back to Lebedova's claims of helping him acquire a mastery. "Right then. Were convening on the 29th if you choose to join" the man grinned. Snape just sighed and walked out.

Severus kept a low profile for a rest of the week, dodging Lily, and making himself scarce in classes he shared with the Gryffindors.
Snape wondered idily as he walked through the door if maybe he was being too harsh, she was his best friend after all.
The Dark arts classroom was arranged strangely when he walked in. The desks pushed to the walls, a large cabinet in the center.
Severus blinked slowly, before walking towards where Kathrine was waving him over.
Suddenly the dark art professor walked in, grinning as he explained today's activity, taking a volunteer from the Gryffindor side of the room, the McKinnon girl, Snape recalled.
He watched as the professor opened the door, a swarm of never ending bugs crawl will ng out and up the walls, the professor reminded her to take a breath and say the charm. Mckinnon exclaiming “ridiculous!” and the bugs seamingly growing legs and doing a fast tap dance.
The class droned on as student went turn for turn. Severus felt his headache grow worrying about what his worst fear would be.
He watched as the other kids went turn for turn, Kathrine’s own fear seemingly being a lake, which she froze over and turned into an ice skating rink.
Too soon in his opinion, it was his turn. He took a hopefully strong step forward, and looked eyes with the professor as he reopened the door.
The door opened, but nothing came out. Snape stood there confusion slowly spreading, when finally they heard something. A painful screech/moan of pain. Then suddenly a call of his name in that same painful, muffled sound.
Severus felt his hold on his wand slip before suddenly a creature was barreling out, charging at him full force, its arms pinning him down, and wrestling him as Severus presented to get a good look.
It was his mother. And his father. Bits of them stitched together. The parts he inhereted. The stitches pulling as the two halves fought to reject each other. The skin crawling like it had bugs under it.
“Ridiculos!” he heard.
Suddenly it was his professor in front of him, shaking him and trying to get his attention. Snape tried to reply, say he was alright, but worriedly he realized he could speak, his body wouldn't move on its own. He was utterly paralyzed now that the fight was over.
His professor let out a slew of swear words, calling for one of the other boys to help me down to the medical ward, Snape didn't know who tho because suddenly the world was blurring at the edges and his ears filled with cotton.
//——//——//——//——//——//——//——//——//——//
Sirius Black didn't spare time to scowel when the professor asked him to take Snape down. He gingerly picked Snape up, the other boy being surprisingly light.
He sped down the halls as fast as he could without josstling the boy too much. Honestly the way snivilous wasn't moving was freeking Sitius out.
He entered the medical ward and ran towards Pomfrey, “Madam! Something happened in DADA today! We were facing bogstts with the ridiculos charm when Snapes worst fear jumped him and now he's, well- like this!” he shoved his arms, still holding Snape, towards Pomfret who made a strangled gasping sound at seeing him.
She quickly removed him from her arms, running to lay him in the bed, she shoo’d Sirius out the the medical ward after that.
Sirius, probably should be heading class, but he decides to wait outside. Consoling himself with saying its just cuz he doesn't want to see his worst fear and nothing to do with curiosity
Nothing at all
