Dream Post #2
Warnings: Child abuse, abuse in general, head canon stuff
Effects: None
There's a young boy sitting near a dark haired woman. His clothes are too big for him and he has dark hair that looks almost greasy. He looks so much like her that there really can't be any mistake that this is his mother. And in her hands she has what looks like a slender stick that she's causing little lights to float out from him. The boy laughs as he watches them float through the air.
"They're beautiful."
"You could do this too after some training, Severus."
He looks up at her with wonder. "Do you think I could get in to the school too?"
She nods and he goes to lean against her as she makes the lights move about, floating through the air in pretty patterns. It's then that the door slams open and she gasps. Both of them turn quickly to find an angry man staring down at them.
"Didn't I tell you to put that foolish stick away?"
"But I wanted to give Severus a Christmas present..."
Suddenly a large hand has the boy by the hair and is pulling him away from his mother. Severus lets out a little pained shriek from the treatment but all the struggling does it make it worse. The woman reaches for him but soon cowers when the man begins to yell at her. It looks like he will end up striking her as well when suddenly everything in the room starts to shake. There are tears streaking down Severus' face before he lets out a scream and a book flies across the room to hit his father in the head.
Instantly the man drops him and the woman gathers the boy in her arms.
"Fine. You take that monster, Eileen. But no more of that witchcraft tonight. I won't allow it when I am trying to make this out presentable."
And with that the man left leaving the boy crying in his mother's arms. Softly, she began to whisper that yes he would get into Hogwarts. He would get into that school and become a great wizard...
Snape awakens and lifts up his wand. With a flick the Dreamberry shuts off. He refuses to let anyone see his reaction to such a memory.
