Severus wanted to scream. How could someone who did those things be called a father? As far as Severus was concerned, the Drunkard had made his mother pregnant and that was it. He used to hit her and now he hit him. He used to yell violent verbal abuse at her, now that too was passed to severus. But the worst times were when the muggle either drank so much he couldn't stand or when he was starting to turn sober. At that point he would try to hug Severus and tell him he was sorry and he never wanted to hurt either of them. And that he could make it all better. If drunk he would then make an attempt to seduce his own son. At age twelve it had worked but it hadn't been as....lewd or animalistic. If 'father' did not get his carnal way he would explode in a fit of rage and suddenly regain his ability to stand. Whereupon he would throw Severus about like a Ragdoll. He ran his knuckles along the dry, rough stone walls as he stormed.
And he could tell no-one...All the other Slytherins lived perfect lives. Noone knew how he felt. He slammed his hand into the wood of the door that hand just appeared and it threw the lock out of shape. The door would take some wrangling to close properly but Severus either didn't care or hadn't noticed. He walked over to the armchair and ran a hand along its high back. Candles were flickering into life. He couldn't sit in it. It looked too much like his mother's chair, save that it was green. He walked to the side of the room and looked at what the room had provided him with. The same as always. A sink, a medical cabinet and a mirror above it, that chair, that fireplace. But no mother.
He went to the sink and looked at his sorry reflection. He gritted his teeth and smashed his already bleeding knuckles into the mirror. Shards fell everywhere, a tinkling noise reached his ears as he drew his fist back. THe silvered layed was still there and some glass was still attached. The room seemed to understand though and the room grew a little. He could see it in the now rapidly tarnishing silver of the mirror. It still reflected so he hadn't really broken it. He always talked himself out of possible bad luck even if it was only superstition. And anyway, he could always make some Felix Felicis...
Severus' angerwas forming up into the normall empty sadness and he moved away until his back met a wall. He stood for a moment clenching his fists before sinkin oto the ground, grazing his back slightly as the longsleeved shirt offered no protection. It rode up and revealed a scarred and muscled but lean stomach before falling almost all the way back down. He closed his eyes and rested his head against the wall. His hair was no longer greasy and had been trimmed to a length where he could hide his face but still see attacks coming. He breathed deeply, trying to stay calm.
If he had been aware he would have heard the tapping sound of footsteps, followed by a crack of light which disappeared again. Then he would have heard a thump as a bag hit the floor.He would have heard a sigh and the sound of a body falling into a chair. He would have watched as a person closed their eyes and drew their knees up to their chest. But Severus was not looking or listening. He was just sitting there, hands balled ionto fists so hard that he bled and a trickle of the liquid ran over his fingers and began to dry under his nails and on the back of his fingers.

Sleep was something she would never see again. Not with the horrible nightmares that plagued her mind at night. Why couldn't her body just rest? She couldn't rest no matter how much she seemed to try. Who did she really have? Nobody. Her Aunt certainly did not care, nobody really cared even with in the safe walls of Hogwarts.
She was alone, with her thoughts and images that played over and over in her head. She was screaming from the inside but nobody could hear, like she had been silenced. Vanora slowly crept out of her bed, maybe she could just disappear? Who would notice her? Where would she go? She just needed to get away somewhere where people didn't go. Yes, maybe she should leave. Vanora quietly took her bag and stuffed some things inside it and swung it over her shoulders.
Vanora walked the corridors, trying to be reasonable but she didn't know what to think anymore. The only person who had ever loved her, had in the end decided to leave. If she could go to a place to just be alone, somewhere hidden. At that thought she saw some sort of room appear. Not really giving in much thought she went inside, dropping her bag on the floor. Maybe she should think before she did anything rash.
Like she used to when she had a much more stable mind not drowned with too many sorrows of him, and his cruelty and driving her mother to do what she did. Vanora sighed well this would do for now, she could get away for a while. Vanora closed her eyes and drew her knees to her chest as her eyes brimmed with tears. Why was this happening to her? What had she done? She felt like she couldn't breathe. Vanora froze a moment she got the feeling she wasn't alone.
Vanora opened her eyes cautiously and drew her wand quietly muttering "lumos" to shed just a little light. She didn't see anything so she moved it around the room until she saw a figure, a very broken figure. She couldn't make out who it was with the tears in her eyes and wiped them away. It was Severus Snape. Had someone hurt him? She had no idea his home life was hell of its own. "Severus?" Vanora muttered trying to find her own voice but it was painful looking at someone as broken as she was herself.
She slowly approached him he didn't seem to hear her. There was broken glass everywhere and his hand was bleeding the scene made her wince. Vanora bit her lip, the last time they had talked it had been pleasant but this wasn't pleasant not in the least bit. She didn't know what to do. Vanora walked closer and bent down. She may have been struggling with inner demons but she still cared about people, and she didn't like seeing someone this hurt. Vanora slowly and reluctantly put her arm on his shoulder gently to get his attention. "Severus, what happened?" she said swallowing.

lumos"light appeared. It didn't register at first because of scrunched up eyes."Severus?" Someone said his name. He heard it.
She crept forward and the light brightened. "Severus, what happened?" Severus slowly looked up. "I was born." He said shortly. Everything came down to him. it was his fault. Everything was his fault. It was comical his shoulders shook slightly with manical laughter at himself.

Vanora frowned at what he said. She felt like that all the time, but no she needed to push her own thoughts aside and make sure he was okay. He was in obvious pain, someone had pushed him too far. She knew he was unpopular but who could be cruel enough to do this to him. She didn't think Potter or his friends could really get to him this bad and she doubted Severus would ever be this broken over the idiot Potter anyhow. "Don't talk like that" Vanora said firmly but calmly though she was half trying to convince herself. "Who did this to you?" Vanora asked in a soft tone, hoping she would get a straight answer from him.

"Don't talk like that" She wasn't really reprimanding him but she wasn'tsaying that it was good. her tone conveyed something odd. A sort of sadness herself... Severus' maniacal laughter subsided. "Who did this to you?" She said quietly. He did it to himself. Potter did it. Father did it. Lily did it.he couldn't wait 'til January. then he would be an adult. And he could leave Spinner's End and never go back. Not until Tobias was dead. "I'm never f***ing going back." He murmured, looking up at her. No-one was supposed to find him when he was like this. That's why they called him Snivellus. Because in previous years it was easy to hurt him. But he'd built up his skin and now only things on the inside could hurt him. Unfortunately that was where he stored it all. He leant his head back and thumped it against the wall. Not too gently either."Why." THump." Do." THump. "I." Thump. "Allus." THump. "Screw." THump. "Stuff." THump. "Up?" H looked at her, a sad question in his dark eyes.
