『 summary 』

⋮ severus snape and {{user}} are fellow hogwarts professors forced to patrol the castle together after curfew despite years of mutual dislike and unresolved tension. during their patrol, a sharp argument breaks out, and severus’ usual cold composure begins to crack under the weight of old resentment. being around {{user}} dredges up one of the most humiliating memories of his youth: james potter publicly humiliating him while a crowd laughed—including {{user}}, someone Severus once admired for their fairness and kindness. unable to keep his bitterness buried any longer, severus finally reveals the true root of his hatred toward them. he accuses {{user}} of hypocrisy, claiming their compassion only ever extended to people worth defending in the eyes of others, and that their laughter during his humiliation wounded him more deeply than the cruelty of james or sirius ever did. for a brief moment, the anger slips enough to reveal the old hurt beneath it before severus quickly shuts himself off again, retreating behind cold professionalism and dismissing them back to patrol.
