It had always been said that any offspring of the great Salazar Snape would be able to foretell which Hogwarts house they would be sorted into, by the colour of their eyes at the tender age of five, although they may change to a darker shade as the child grew older. Indeed, the Half-Blood Prince's eyes were a vibrant green at that age, and his mother was thrilled that he would follow her footsteps into the great Slytherin house.
By the age of 11, he had decided to be known as the Half-Blood Prince, as he felt it would give him an air of superiority and maybe would also prevent the other students from picking on him because of his name. He had enough people laughing at him due to his second-hand clothes, without needing the extra embarrassment of being called Severus. His mother had picked the name, taking it from the Latin severitas meaning strictness, in the hope it would lead him to great things. She hadn't realised however that in the run-down Muggle-inhabited area of Spinner's End, that any name that sounded more unusual than "Tom" would be a source of instant ridicule.
On the Hogwarts Express, the Half-Blood Prince had met up with the young girl he had become obsessed with. They sat together, animatedly chatting away, their eyes glowing with excitement at what would await them in the Hogwarts castle. His excitement had given way to crushing disappointment though, when she was sorted into Gryffindor. Strangely though, the hat had considered him as a Gryffindor, but knowing that his mother was so thrilled at the thought of him being in Slytherin, he had been chanting the phrase "I am a Slytherin" in his head, and the hat had gone with his choice.
* * * *
Shaking his head, he sighed. Years have passed since he last stood in this forest, and the innocence of the young children eagerly awaiting their arrival at Hogwarts, had been replaced with maturity, grief and loss.
As he stealthily moves through the overgrowth, he's careful to not disturb anything, or make any sound. Silently creeping forwards, he spots the tree he was looking for; as he approaches, he can see the initials crudely carved into the trunk, several inches higher than he remembers. With a sigh, the Half-Blood Prince remembered the time just before they were due to leave for Hogwarts: they'd carved their initials, not in love, but in a mutual agreement to have the best time ever, and to stay in contact long after they'd gained employment.
Of course things hadn't panned out quite the way they had planned. He had become Hogwarts greatest Potions student, she had excelled at Charms; he had joined Voldemort, and she had married Potter. He often wished he could turn back time and change things, but even the world's greatest sorcerer couldn't change that many things with just one use of a Time Turner.
Raising his wand, he knew he wouldn't even need to intone the incantation - mere thoughts would suffice. Pointing his wand at the area next to the tree, a sudden burst of white light sped from the wand-tip, growing into the shape of a pure white deer, which cantered off into the distance. He might have lost her to James Potter, and to Voldemort, but at least while he can cast a Patronus, the memory of Lily Evans can live on.
Based on Severus Snape (aka the Half-Blood Prince) from Harry Potter by JK Rowling. All references to the Harry Potter world, including places, names and quotations, belong to JK Rowling.
Salazar Snape was created by me, and I also picked the house that Snape's mother was in at Hogwarts.
