Tobias Snape woke up the next day with a pounding hangover. Although he had no idea what time it was, he didn't have to work today, so he had decided to drink his entire stock of alcohol.

He stumbled over himself towards the door, feeling the intense pain in his head, and then headed towards the staircase in front of another room. It had been months, but he still vividly remembered being thrown down those stairs by his own son, rolling down to the lower floor and feeling several parts of his body breaking in the process.

Snape had never acted against him, let alone using magic, so it was the first time Tobias felt that his son had attacked him with some kind of spell, even though he clearly remembered Snape using his fist to strike him, which was very strange. He had to call an ambulance and kept shouting for wizards to come, yet no one appeared, no matter what he did to report Snape for using magic.

And so, he was hospitalized and later returned home, his life turning into a real nightmare as he had to manage everything on his own. He had no friends or family to support him, and even while bandaged with various wraps to try to heal his wounds, he still had to endure for months.

Tobias still felt the pain in his body, needing to be very careful not to strain any position, and he had heard from the doctors that it would remain that way forever.

The feeling of anger and frustration consumed him at that moment. He felt a rage towards Eileen and his son that he had never experienced before... How he longed to make Snape pay for everything he had done to him. He would gladly beat Eileen too, but she was already dead—at least one thing he could take comfort in.

Setting aside these dark thoughts, he began descending the stairs with some difficulty. When he reached the last step, his body simply froze.

In front of him was someone he didn't expect to see on this day. Although it was the time of year when Hogwarts was ending, and just like every other year, this was the time when Snape returned home, Tobias still hadn't expected to find him there. Snape was sitting in front of him, holding a newspaper and calmly sipping coffee, lifting his eyes from the paper to Tobias at that moment.

"I thought you wouldn't show up after drinking so much last night," Snape said calmly.

The newspaper he was reading had moving images of a Muggle bus in flames surrounded by Aurors, with a headline saying it had been attacked by dark wizards. The report noted that no one knew exactly what had happened, only that four bodies were left behind, turned to ashes, while the driver remembered nothing, with no memory of the event. There was no way to say what had occurred, as all evidence had been cremated when the vehicle caught fire, but through magic, they discovered that someone very powerful had slaughtered the four dark wizards in under three seconds.

But this report wasn't important now as Snape stared at his father. 'I hope this is the last time I ever see him,' he couldn't help but think with disdain.

"What are you doing here?" Tobias exclaimed immediately.

"Well, I need you to sign something for me," Snape replied coldly. "Basically, you will officially be severing ties with me. I don't want to keep resorting to measures to prove that I'm independent and have no magical guardian. I could do everything in my own name without so much bureaucracy," he explained.

Snape was tired of having to present documents and evidence, especially now that he intended to start his own business. He needed to do everything in his own name without any ties to Tobias or risking his father trying to gain something from his name.
