Severus Snape was a terrifying man. At least, that's what most thought. Really, he was a lonely man. He didn't have many friends, most of them were on the "dark" side, so he couldn't just up and visit them any day.
He was the best potions maker in the world. He had good money in his vaults. He got to be a professor at Hogwarts for Merlins sake. He should be happy, right?
He wasn't.
The reason for that was simple.
There was a hole in his chest. Something was missing, a love for someone was missing, a love from someone was missing. It was like he had that love before, but it was missing now, like it was taken. He just couldn't figure it out.
And when he heard those boys thoughts, he couldn't help but wonder.
Was that really the Potter boy? What happened to him? Doesn't Albus know?
Surely he must, he was the one who put Potter in that house. But the things the boy thought...
Was it true? Who would do that to him? And why? How could someone be so sick in the mind that they would do that to a child?
Severus didn't know the answers the these questions, but he was going to find out.
