Reincarnation || Sniddle

A 'lovely' welcome home.

"For goodness' sake, don't you understand the meaning of another time?"

"Clearly you don't. Is this not another time?" came the cool reply.

Severus resisted the urge to roll his eyes, "Make it quick."

The Dark Lord (in disguise) simply raised an eyebrow while glaring at the impertinance of the child. "I will decide that for myself Severus Snape. Now tell me, how can a simple child such as yourself recognise me so promptly?"

"Merely a feeling." Severus replied after a second of looking for an excuse. He did not get why the Dark Lord had not killed him yet. A sudden idea popped in to his head. Ahhh not so insane yet are you Lord Voldemort?

Voldemort regarded him thoughtfully, "A seer? No. Too sane to be one..." Severus bit his lip to stop himself from laughing, he recalled a certain Divination Professor befitting of the description.

Severus felt the faintest prod at the back of his mind and quickly brought up his Occlumency shields without a thought. Perhaps not the best idea if he wanted to avoid suspicion however...

Instead of being annoyed, Voldemort seemed pleased. "Occlumency, Severus Snape?"

Severus smirked. Faintly, but it was there. "Whatever is that, My Lord?"

Suddenly Severus realised what he'd just called the Dark Lord, purely on instinct.

Voldemort seemed amused and said, "Perhaps you would consider joining the Death Eaters when you're older Severus. You clearly have potential. As to your question, Occlumency is the act of magically closing one's mind against Legilimency. Though I do believe you know that already, how a child your age knows this already? I do not know."

Severus thought over his options, side with Dumbledore and his manipulations again? Or side with the Dark Lord and his insanity? Well, nothing for it.

"Maybe I will consider join the Death Eaters," Severus began purposely not including the when I'm older, "I am starting Hogwarts soon after all."

Voldemort looked faintly amused and smirked, "It is hilarious how knowledgable you are already before starting Hogwarts. Perhaps you'll be a Ravenclaw?"

"I believe Slytherin is more suited for me. Which reminds me, you're the heir of Slytherin yes?"

Voldemort cast a suspicious look to him and just said, "Yes?"

"Why do you not claim Lord Slytherin?" Severus asked innocently.

Voldemort scoffed lightly, "I do not see much reason to go play politics, though I don't mind having Lords on my side during the war. In fact, I would not care if another swopped in and took the title. I plan to go way over then simply a simple title as a Lord."

Severus nodded and finally released the breath he didn't realise he had been holding. Making a mental note to visit Gringotts sometime soon to claim his other lordships.

"May we have this conversation after next weeks Wizengamot meeting? I will come to you." Severus said politely, suddenly aware of how much time he'd spent.

"Very well. That is the one where the Light Lord," Voldemort paused and rolled his eyes, "wants to pass a bill to remove all the Wizengamot on the dark side, yes?"

Severus nodded in acknowledgement and quickly stepped away vanishing out of Voldemorts sight.

"Good for nothing children..." Tobias Snape muttered loudly as he descended upon one Severus Snape.

At this point, Severus probably shouldn't have even bothered to go home. Maybe he'd go rent a place in the Wizarding World?

If he was still alive that is.

An expression of murder and annoyance was on Tobias' face (he refused to acknowledge him as his father). The man seemed to be drunk too. How lovely.

Severus blinked innocently at Tobias as the man stormed towards him.

"Stupid freak! Escaping out of this house when we've given you a place under our roof?! This'll teach you a lesson." Tobias screamed as he threw an empty glass bottle towards Severus.

On instinct, Severus instantly pulled out his wand and blocked the bottle from contact.

Tobias' face promptly turned purple with anger. "FREAK! I will not tolerate you using your freakiness against me! Eileen!" Tobias called angrily.

Severus growled at his own stupidity, for goodness' sake! He could do wandless magic-Why did he keep pulling out his wand?!

Well...

What's done is done.

Severus' mother Eileen Snape (neé Prince) entered the room to see her son holding out his wand and her husband screaming at her to hurry up and get rid of the boy.

Severus just looked at Eileen and sneered at her for the first time in this rebirth (reincarnated, whatever-) life.

"Eileen Snape, disowned partially from the succession line of Prince. You would dare fight Lord Prince?" Severus glared menacingly.

Even if Eileen had been disowned, the current Lord Prince would still have power over her. It was in her blood after all. Most likely why Black had disappeared from his families sight.

Eileen looked scandalised at this new found information.

"WELL WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR EILEEN? GET RID OF THE BOY." Tobias burst out.

Severus just looked pointedly at Eileen, waiting to see what she would do.

And of course, without another thought, Eileen raised her wand (which Tobias scrunched his nose angrily at) and shot a spell at Severus who swiftly dodged.

He'd been in the middle of two wizarding wars, this was tame compared to them.

Severus held up a hand, just as Eileen was about to shoot another spell at him, gesturing Eileen to stop for a minute.

This was going to be exciting.

"I, Severus Snape, Lord of Prince, Potter, Peverell, Ravenclaw and Snape, Heir Apparent to Slytherin, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff as well as whatever else, hereby strip you Eileen Prince from your family magic and line. I declare you unfit for the family line, and I do this with Lady Magic as my witness. Should Lady Magic declare her as fit for the family line, let Lady Magic strip myself of my magic. So mote it be."

Eileen looked absolutely horrified, much to Severus' amusement, while Tobias simply looked angrily confused at what was going on.

A rumble of magic seemed to strip out of Eileen and turn into dust as her hair began turning a dull grey colour, symbolising her complete disconnection from the family line. Her eyes lost its lively lovely colour and began dulling into a boring grey as well.

"What have you done?!" Eileen asked horrifiedly as Severus just looked at his nails and smirked.

"Oh I'm just getting started."
