Chapter 1: The letter…revised

Severus Snape sighed for what it felt like the thousandth time in the matter of two hours.

He pinched the bridge of his nose as he reread the letter that his mother sent him.

'Mother, I honestly don't know what was going through your mind when you sent me this despicable letter.'

After he was done reading it he folded it back up, placing it back into the original envelope it came from and hid it in his bag just in case James and his gang of Gryffindor's decided to pay him a visit.

Being on the train for more than three hours was already getting to his head…

Severus' head snapped up when the trolley lady slammed the door open.

"Anything for you young sir?"

"Just tea would be fine."

"10 Sickles and 3 Knuts then please." She said; as she got the tea ready for him.

Severus didn't say anything as he handed the money to her as he reached out for the tea set.

In a manner of minutes Severus was taking small sips of his jasmine and honey tea.

After some careful thinking Severus pulled out the letter once again but this time he had a clear head.

He didn't know why but the idea of having a friend or a pen pal in the matter would be something else that he hasn't faced yet.

Severus put the letter away again as he heard James Potter talking down the narrow hallway.

Quickly pulling down the blind over his window as he waited for the voices to pass his door.

After a while Severus breathed a sigh of relief as they didn't stop by his door.

When he put the final loop on the string to the hook, Severus finished his tea and decided to relax of the rest of the train ride.

But a simple question still rang through his mind…

'Why is mother making me do this?'
