"Always."

(Best read in the voice of the late Alan Rickman)

Well, well, well... What do we have here?

It seems that all of you have found my self demonstrating page... Quite a predicament...

I guess I can... Share a bit of myself to all of you... If you wish to know about me...

Though I must warned you that everything about myself... Is very complicated for everyone to know... So, let's get started... Shall we?

My name is Severus Snape... The head of Slytherin house, a former Slytherin, mentor to Draco Malfoy, and the closest confidant to Albus Dumbledore... The head of Hogwarts... And my mentor...

My life, as you can see, hasn't always been a straight line... For as you know, I am quite ruthless and serious when it comes to teaching at Hogwarts... As such, everyone fears me with great contempt...

But I do not mind it at all... For as a teacher, it is my duty to keep everyone disciplined at all time... And as Dumbledore's agent, I have to keep myself discreet...

My story begins as a Slytherin student... Back when I was young, I met Lily and Petunia Evans... Lily. She was the kindest person I've ever met... She was the light of my life... But alas, she fell for James Potter... The leader of the Marauders, who humiliated me as a Slytherin...

As I continued my studies at Hogwarts, I became the Half-Blood Prince... I managed to become the most talented potion maker of all time... That I kept a copy of my own Advanced Potion-Making for future purposes... Unfortunately, this lead to Potter using it against me...

After I graduated from Hogwarts, I joined Voldemort on his crusade against Hogwarts... But when I learned that he wanted to kill Lily and her family since Harry was the chosen one... I immediately switched sides... Yet in the end, it was too late... She's gone... Forever...

In the following years, I finally declared myself as a double agent for both Dumbledore and Hogwarts to keep the Death Eaters at bay... And keeping Potter safe all these years...

One day, everything changed, during thePhilosopher's Stone incident... I remember it quite well... It was the beginning of another year at Hogwarts where new generations of students arrived... Among them are the infamous three: Ronald Weasley, Hermione Granger, and of course, the so-called chosen one... Harry Potter...

During the first years, I taught the students how to brew potions... I also taught them how to bewitch the minds, ensnare their senses, bottle fame, brew glory, and put a stopper in deaths... It was also here that I noticed how unskilled Potter is in following my lessons...

A few days later, things had gotten interesting at Hogwarts... Particularly how Potter managed to earn a spot at the Quidditch games... However, something had happened during the game... As I watched in terror, someone had jinxed his broom mid-game, and despite my cold exterior, I cast a counter spell in order to prevent him from losing... Unfortunately for me, Miss Granger thought that I was the one who jinxed it... As such, she cast a flame spell on my cape... To protect her friend... Ironically, this still caused the jinx to be broken due to its caster being distracted...

Following the games... Mr. Potter, Mrs. Granger, and Mr. Weasley continued to have their little... Misadventures in Hogwarts... Ranging from their encounter with a troll, discovering the secrets of the school, and of course... Keeping Quirinus from getting the stone... Thus earning Gryffindor enough points to win the House cup...

On the next semester... Potter and his friends continued to have their... Adventures in Hogwarts and in their hometown... One where they nearly broke their cover by driving the flying car... Into Hogwarts... All because the door troll was trying to protect... Potter...

Nevertheless, he was severely punished for his foolishness... Along with Mr. Weasley... Who broke his wand...


Read everything carefully about my personal life... I shall test you readers after you memorized everything in this page... Good luck...


  • Affectionate Nickname: I used to be called "Sev" by... Lily... during our childhood.
  • Berserk Button: Remind me of my worst memory... call me a coward... or dare use my own spells against me, and my usual demeanour will vanish.
  • Cold Ham: I almost never speak above a whisper... and yet, whenever I open my mouth... I will always grab the attention of anyone near me.
  • Dramatic Pause: I quite... obviously speak with pauses...
  • Everyone Has Standards:
    • It is my duty as a Hogwarts professor to protect the students from danger... Some are in enough trouble as it is, so I cannot allow any more to come to them.
    • Even those in Slytherin house will be disciplined or punished for directly going against the rules or being incompetent students... As much as Malfoy keeps Crabbe and Goyle for company, they fail to live up to his example...
  • Shed the Family Name: I never thought much of my... Muggle father... and while I still go by his surname, I did call myself the Half-Blood Prince for a reason.

Okay... now that we're done with this... we shall begin the test on me... wait, where did my audience go?
