April 29 , 1974
On the Hogwarts grounds, the Marauders race down the slopes to where SEVERUS is walking towards Hogsmeade.
JAMES: Snape!
SEVERUS turns around and, seeing the Marauders approaching him, removes his wand and raises it.
SEVERUS: What are you lot doing here?
SIRIUS: We could ask you the same question, Snivelly.
SEVERUS: Get back up to the Castle if you know what's good for you.
JAMES: Why don't you make us, Snivelly?
SEVERUS: I should've seen this coming, Potter. It's just like you to stick your nose in things that are none of your business.
JAMES: What's going on in Hogsmeade, Snivelly? Why are you going there?
SEVERUS: Shut it, Potter. Why don't you go practice Quidditch or get Lily Evans to reject you again-
JAMES: Shut up, Snape! Expelliarmus!
SEVERUS: Stupefy!
The two spells hit each other and form a magical bond before the boys break it off, not strong enough to hold it for long. SEVERUS disregards the Marauders and continues down to Hogsmeade.
JAMES: Don't you walk away from me, Snape! Get back here and face me like a man! Quit acting like a coward!
At that moment, SEVERUS raises his wand again and unleashes a massive fiery curse upon them.
SEVERUS: DON'T-
All four Marauders are knocked to their feet by the Fiendfyre curse. A huge cloud of grey smoke surrounds them as SEVERUS walks up to JAMES and jabs his wand on the side of his neck.
SEVERUS: -CALL ME COWARD!
SEVERUS considers JAMES for a moment more before he stows away his wand and walks away from them. JAMES watches him go, but doesn't pursue him anymore.
