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.

[A flash of blonde, and there's Rose on the screen, looking concerned. She's still new, she doesn't really understand the entirety of this world and it's dreams, how they can be broadcast like that, so if she's a touch overly concerned, it can probably be chalked up to that.]

Oh my god, is everything alright?

Obviously not.

[This is an older version of that boy. He does not look happy.]

[Ah. Clearly she's a bit late. She still doesn't look pleased about it, not in the slightest, judging from the way she purses her lips a bit.]

I'm sorry. Someone mentioned that happened, the... dreams. I didn't know...


D'you want to talk about it?

[The line he's created by pressing his lips together grows thinner still.]

I believe this is a private matter.

audio.

[ there is the sound of a bottle of whiskey opening. come up again to the usual place, he thinks.

lucius has thoughts, but he isn't going to badger his friend about it.

I have a glass waiting.

[He knows exactly where he is and Apparates up to the room, sitting down with his friend.]

[ Call it dumb luck or just a pure accident, but Harry's seen the dream. What he doesn't see is the fact that his own dreamberry has turned on to show Harry watching the dream and looking sad and a bit nostalgic. The situation's not quite the same, but the feelings are. He remembers his own childhood pains, and the fact that Snape and he shared something like that leaves an odd feeling in Harry's stomach. ]

[He sees you there, boy. You really need to learn to not turn the Dreamberry recording function on.]

Potter.

[ It has a mind of his own he can't help it though he does look surprised to see that Snape would have responded. ]

...

Sorry [ Is all he manages to say. Wouldn't be the first time he's seen Snape's personal childhood. ]

For what, pray tell? Last I recalled you were not a part of my childhood.

[ Well this situation is awkward, but no he wasn't really apologizing for what had happened to Snape, that'd be like Snape apologizing for what had happened to Harry...oh wait...]

I meant for seeing that.

[ Not that he had stopped watching but by then it was kind of like a train wreck, he couldn't stop. ]

I am sure that you are, Mr. Potter.

[The ice in that tone...it's colder than the snow outside.]

[identity profile] sonuvasnitch.livejournal.com 2011-12-10 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Don't blame me for the dreamberry showing your secrets.

[ Yup there's that familiar spark to fight the cold. ]

[Video]

[identity profile] initforthedoe.livejournal.com 2011-12-10 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
No. Why should anyone put the blame on you? Clearly things are never your fault.

[He's tired and irritated. Harry is now the perfect target.]

[Video]

[identity profile] sonuvasnitch.livejournal.com 2011-12-10 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Right, just like things aren't yours is that it?

[ Yeah that kind of hit a spot, so Harry hit's right back. ]

[Video]

[identity profile] initforthedoe.livejournal.com 2011-12-10 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Two very different topics. You should focus on just one.

[Bitch fight time.]

[Video]

[identity profile] sonuvasnitch.livejournal.com 2011-12-10 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
Really? I don't think they're that different.

[Video]

[identity profile] initforthedoe.livejournal.com 2011-12-10 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Can you really tell the difference?

[Video]

[identity profile] sonuvasnitch.livejournal.com 2011-12-10 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ It was that tone. Harry's jaw set and any thoughts of common place quickly left his head. ]

Yeah, I can.

[It's as if they're back at Hogwarts in the Potions Classroom.]

I wouldn't be so certain. [Each word is pronounced carefully and slowly. As if he's speaking to an idiot.]

[Video]

[identity profile] sonuvasnitch.livejournal.com 2011-12-10 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
No. I really think I do.

[ Yup just like old times. ]

[Video]

[identity profile] initforthedoe.livejournal.com 2011-12-10 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
You shouldn't be so cocky, Mr. Potter.

[Video]

[identity profile] sonuvasnitch.livejournal.com 2011-12-10 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
...

[ Harry's not sure what to say to that, really he doesn't like the sound of it, but he opts for nothing instead. ]

[Snape just stares back at him for a moment, just saying a few more words before he hangs up.]

Sleep well, Mr. Potter. Stay away from unpleasant dreams.

[Click.]

[Well, that's. That's different. It's the way James imagines Lily's muggle family treating Harry, or the way Sirius' Pureblooded one treated him. How society would gladly treat Remus-- like a freak.

So, while Snape isn't usually a target for sympathy from him...]


Well. You did find your niche.

[It's the nicest thing he can get his tongue to say to Snape. Potions was difficult subject... and he'd at least excelled in it. Not as good as some folks, mind~ but not bad at all. He'd made it to Hogwarts and done something with merit-able ability.]
