~~~~~~~*******Chapter 1*******~~~~~~~~

Prologue.......

Inside an old, rundown home on Spinner's End in Cokeworth, a beautiful seven year old boy played with his worn toys on the scuffed floor in his almost empty room. His father, a muggle as his mother called him, Tobias Snape pushed the door open hard, allowing it to slam into the wall.

The older man stormed into the room, grabbing the little boy, who was trying to shrink away from his father's rage, by his black hair, pulling him roughly off the floor.

Tobias brought his thin, haggard face so it hovered in front of his son's; "You're a disgusting little creature, unnatural and ugly. You're an abomination against nature, you and your useless mother!"

To punctuate his hateful thoughts his father threw his son to the floor, kicking him in his already tender side, each kick was highlighted with cruel words. The young boy didn't know why his father hated him so much; so he had magic, but so did his mother.

What was so wrong with him that his own father beat him without care? Why did his mother never help him? Why didn't she stop his father from hurting him? The little boy was sobbing in both mental and physical pain by the time his father had worn himself out.

As quickly as the man came he left, slamming the door harshly as he stomped down the hall. A feminine scream was heard throughout the house; the scared young boy didn't understand anything. He tried to be good, to make his parents proud so they would love him.

The seven year old child finally understood why no one cared for him; he was ugly and disgusting. So revolting that even his own mother looked at him with indifference when she saw the bruises his father gave him; too concerned and wrapped up in her own pain and self-pity to help her son.

He was an abomination it must be so. Why else would a father hate their son? Hit them until they cried out for mercy, pleaded for it all to stop. The onyx eyed boy hated himself then, he deserved to look like what he was; ugly, disgusting and abhorrent.

As if his magic heard his wishes it began to swirl around the beautiful boy causing his thick, glossy shoulder length black hair to change, it became lanky and greasy. His ethereal alabaster skin yellowed into a sallow color reminiscent of old parchment.

Another change happened to his straight aquiline nose; it became hooked with several bumps in it, as if it had been broken several times. His plump, pouty lips shrunk, becoming thin. The only thing that remained of the once beautiful boy was his glittering onyx eyes.

The little boy stood, walking over the cracked mirror on the back of the door taking in the changes to his body. He was pleased, maybe now his father wouldn't hurt him anymore. Maybe by looking like he should his father would be kind to him.

IT wasn't logical, but to a distraught and hurting seven year old it made perfect sense. Unfortunately the child's hope was in vain; the next day his father was even crueler with his taunting words, as the hits rained down on the already injured child's head.

When his father finally left the broken boy drowned in his pain. An unfathomably deep sorrow flowed through him finally reaching his soul and heart, coloring them in sadness, changing them into something twisted and unrecognizable.

This day the beautiful, kind, lonely boy who just wanted to be loved turned cold, bitter and jaded. It would be another thirty-one years until someone saw the beautiful boy again. Thirty-one years would pass until Severus Snape opened his frigid heart to let another completely in.

I hope you enjoyed the first chapter!

For anyone wondering young Severus' magic cast a sort of accidental glamour on him.

~~~~~~~~********Chapter 2*******~~~~~~~~~

Thirty-One Years Later........

The war was over; he was finally free from the yoke of the Dark Lord. Severus Snape still could not believe it! He had waited for years for this day to come; for Harry to defeat the creature known as Voldemort. Severus kept waiting to wake up and realize it was all a dream.

It happened a few months ago on June 23, a day Severus would celebrate for the rest of his days. It was as if he was reborn that day, the Dark Mark no longer staining the sallow skin of his arm.

Severus sighed in contentment; yes he was grievously injured from being bitten by Nagini but Potter refused to let him die. Stubborn Gryffindor. The words were no longer spat hatefully in his head. Now they were thought with grudging affection; the boy really didn't know when to stop saving people.

The potions master was grateful to the seventeen year old teen; Harry had saved his life twice over. The first time was after Nagini had bitten him and again when he spoke on Severus' behalf in his Wizengamot hearing; Severus had been unable to attend due to the fact that he was in and out of consciousness, as he was still being treated for his wounds.

Severus' recovery was slow; the venom from Voldemort's familiar was extremely toxic and potent. Fortunately the Healer who was assigned to Arthur Weasely had been happy to help the great Harry Potter and consented to consult with Madam Pomfrey about Severus' wounds.

There the potions master had remained for two months, daily doses of anti-venom were administered under the watchful eye of Madam Pomfrey. Healer Pye had instructed Pomfrey on the dosage and frequency; the treatment would take longer for Severus than it did for Arthur seeing as Nagini had pumped vastly more of her deadly poison straight into Severus' neck.

Severus' only complaint about those days was he was bed bound, lying there feeling like a useless invalid, which he to some extent was. It was frustrating to the onyx eyed man but he endured and now six months after the Final Battle he was back in his family home; Spinner's End.

But the once rundown neighborhood was now coming back to life. It seemed that during the year that Severus was away the neighborhood began undergoing an overhaul. The old row houses were being renovated and refurbished; shrubs were trimmed and flowers planted. Making the once dreary block look fresh and alive.

Severus decided to go with the flow, he had a new lease on life after all and he refused to spend it in a musty house reeking of neglect and disrepair. His home now boasted a small patch of green grass, beautiful flowering shrubs lined the short walk up to the front door.

It also helped that Severus charmed his grass and shrubs in the middle of the night to always stay green during the spring and summer, what the muggles didn’t know wouldn’t hurt them.

He had hired muggle painters to repaint the worn exterior of his home; it was now a sedate shade of beige, white doors and shutters standing out pristinely against the house.

Severus was quite pleased with the result, but the pride he felt when he walked inside was overwhelming. No longer was the house a dark reminder of his abusive childhood; he had stripped it down to the studs. Refurnishing it sparsely but with great care, the house now looked lived in and inviting.

Never would have Severus thought that his life would be as pleasant or carefree as it was now. After his full recovery and being found innocent at his hearing since it was proven that he was a spy for the light Severus had finally patented and marketed his Wolfsbane, and other invented potions.

His potions were all doing quite well for being so new to the potions market, bringing him a pretty galleon from the many apothecaries who purchased the rights to brew them. Severus' once paltry Gringotts vault was now filling up quite nicely and since he had no real monthly bills he saved most of it and invested some of it.

Severus looked up, he was sweeping the snow from this afternoon off the front stoop, when he heard his name called, turning he couldn't help the smile that slid onto his thin lips. HIs lover of three months, Kingsley Shacklebolt, beamed at him, warmth in his eyes as he looked at the shorter man.

Severus felt his heart warm at the site of his lover smiling at him; Salazar he hadn’t even felt this happy or cared for when he had been good friends with Lily Evans. Severus stilled missed his best friend but that sadness was tempered by time.

He knew Lily would be proud of him if she were alive; Severus had done his best to repent for the sins of his past. It seemed he had finally been granted his redemption after all this time.

A soft kiss to his thin lips brought Severus out of his thoughts; Severus smiled against Kingsley's full lips, pressing back against the older man's. Gods Severus would never get tired of this man kissing him.

It still boggled the dark haired man that this strong, attractive, decent man wanted him; an ex-Death Eater. Severus didn't need to know though, he was just grateful to have Kingsley by his side.

Who would have known six months ago that one day in the near future Severus would be kissing the Minister of Magic, Kingsley Shacklebolt? Severus himself certainly didn't. But it seemed life did enjoy giving Severus surprises, this one however was fully welcomed.

Kingsley took Severus' thin, pale hand in his large cocoa colored one and led him into the house so they could relax, have dinner and talk about their day. It was an end of the workday ritual the two men indulged in; with everything still being rebuilt it was easy to get swept away in the craziness.

Both men enjoyed this time to unwind from the stress of their days, and ground themselves after enduring the madness that was a rebuilding wizarding Britain. They didn’t live together, though with the amount of time Kingsley spent at Spinner’s End he might as well. That was a thought for another day Severus decided as he made his way to the kitchen.

Severus enjoyed cooking for Kingsley, as the man wasn’t picky and would eat pretty much anything. Making Severus' job of planning and preparing a meal quite a bit easier, he was a picky eater himself so not having to work around another's culinary likes was a plus.

Dinner was a quiet peaceful affair, both men filled the other in on the happenings going on in their work life; Kingsley's day was generally more exciting than Severus' but that suited the potions master just fine. Severus enjoyed his quiet sedate life; Merlin knew he had experienced enough excitement in his past to last the rest of his life.

After everything was cleaned and put away Severus snuggled up on the cushy sofa in Kingsley strong arms. Both men read, enjoying the merrily crackling fire as they sipped from their glasses of fire whiskey.

Soon it was time to retire to bed for the night, after their nightly routines they slipped under the thick blankets. Severus sighed in pleasure when Kingsley scooted behind Severus and spooned his smaller body. Severus felt safe and protected inside Kingsley's sweet embrace; sleep as it always did when Kingsley was there came easily.

I hope you all enjoyed the story & my oddball pairing so far.
