The marauders. That was the name that Snape hated. Feared some might say. They bullied him relentlessly. Sirius and James did it more than Remus or Peter. But they never tried to stop it. After lily stopped being friends with him, Severus had no one. It’s not like he had much of anyone to start with but, after he made the mistake of calling lily a “mudblood.” He regretted it instantly.

now he was sitting alone by a tree near the black lake reading. He liked being a lone. But… there’s a difference between being alone and being lonely. Unluckily for Sev erus. He was both.
