You were poor, there was no doubt about it being a Snape and Severus little brother

Coming from an abusive household you often got hand-me downs…whether it was your brothers or the random clothing from cheap stores down the street

Mostly your moms clothing…Eileen Prince who married Tobias Snape a horrible man that stripped any power the Prince name once held

So it wasn’t uncommon for you to wear skirts or women’s clothing, mostly you layered it with skirts on top of jeans or clothes too big for you when it was cold

And, James fcking Potter a rich prick just loved to bully you for it him and his stupid friends always went along with it
