Just a reminder that Snape was probably the youngest professor at Hogwarts.

That being said.....

Snape picked the band for the Yuel Ball. He rolled his eyes so hard it actually hurt Professor Sprout when she suggested "a dandy little string quartet! The kids will love it!" Professor McGonagall sighed, "Then what do you suggest, Professor Snape."

"Maybe someone they like? Weird Sisters are popular. Get them."

"That's not in the budget," Albus dismissed before turning to the charms professor, "What about the school choir?"

One huffy potions master, a wand call, and a triumphant smirk with his boots kicked up, "Weird Sister's are playing. For free... Mostly."

They all prodded him for an explanation until Minerva caught Snape and the drummer snogging behind stage during the Ball.

Facts about Snape, professor addition

Obviously head cannons

Severus is always exactly 7 minutes late to all staff meetings. Yes, it is on purpose. Yes, every single one of the other Professors have tried to end the annoying habit. Nothing has worked.

Dumbledore has received so many complaints from parents that if he reads "Snape" he automatically sends in the OWL and NEWT test improvements in Potions.

His first year was a rough start, but by Severus's testing averages went from Slughorn's A-E on the lower side average to high E's and O's. The Dreadful fail rate also dropped to two or three students a year.

Severus has asked to be fired no less than 200 times. It hasn't worked.

At potluck events, it's a competition to see who makes the dish that Professor Snape will eat/eat the most of as they get better every year. Professor Sprout is the reigning champion. And Severus will only ever bring napkins from coffee shops.

He has never mixed up any of the Weasley -- even the twins -- ever. It drives Fred and George insane.

He has a coffee pot in the classroom and will fight anyone who tries to take it away from him. Umbrige learned that lesson the hard way.

Not only is this Snack Energy™ it's Marauder Era Snack Energy.

Lily found out that Severus and Sirius were dating in secret and shouted this at Sev just trying to read in the courtyard. At least 20 other people heard and he had never been more red in his life. Then it was a tirade of "What are you thinking? He treated you so badly! Use your brain, you're smart Sev!" And it ends with, "Does he make you happy?" Severus nods and she huffs but sits down next to her best friend, throwing an arm around him, "Good. That's what matters."

Up in Gryffindor Tower, James had a similar outburst with Sirius. His best mate just laughed and laughed and wiped away tears before taking a deep breath, "Prongs, I top." The other teen gapped at him for a solid minute before rolling his eyes and arguing that the point stands. "Do you like him, padfoot?" There was an even brighter smile when Sirius answered, "I fuckin love him."

saw an Instagram reel says just because he's good for your hole doesn't mean that he's good for your soul and that's fucking snack energy there

One of my favourite genres: Severus finally breaking under pressure, Sirius having to deal with "Severus Snape is a human person too" understanding 🥺🥺🥺

It's interesting in both directions I saw it: when they hate each other and it forces Sirius to see human in Snape or when they are already on kinda friendly terms (at least they tolerate each other) but Sirius doesn't see how much pain there is inside of Snape and has to finally see it to full extent.

These guys' hurt/comfort scenes are always a gourmet dish but it gets too salty from my tears too fast 🙃

Snape is Harry's guardian

Petunia opened the door in the middle of the night to see her nephew in her front step. She wanted nothing to do with her show off sister and cut contact three years ago with reason. Her hands were full with Dudley and the Lord knew her parents never loved her as much as Harry. But she didn't know what to do with the freakish child. Not until Vernon was turning the paper and she caught the article of Tobias Snape's prison sentence. A freak with the biggest freak she knew. That would work.

Severus was woken up by loud pounding at the door and groaned through his hangover. But he dragged himself off the floor, half dead. And there was Harry freaking Potter on his dead grass. "Shit."

Harry was screaming at the top of his lungs, freezing cold and in need of a diaper change, screaming for mummy and daddy and the little tot was starving. "Oh fuck it all. Come here," he nearly puked at the stench and picked up the boy bringing him inside where at least he could warm up. One transfigured diaper and a sink bath later, Harry was now in one of his shirts. "What can you eat? Can you eat? I don't have formula." The toddler only started crying again, "You're about as helpful as your father. But at least you are cuter."

He found some apple sauce that was only a week past its expiration and fed the boy with a spoon too big for him and he picked up the corded phone and dialed the fire department.

"Hey. Um, someone left a kid on my door and I don't know what to do?"

"Do you know the child? How old are they?"

"Barely. Umm, he's my ex best friend's kid and her and her husband died two nights ago. I don't know why he's here. He's like ummm... A year and a few months?"

"Were you listed as a guardian? Did a social worker bring him?"

"No for both. There was a loud banging and then baby in the yard and I'm hungover and I don't have diapers. Harry keeps crying but I don't have toys."

"We've sent an Officer to the location your number is registered at. Is Harry injured?"

"Yes. Um, his forehead, has a cut on it. I cleaned that though. Put a bandaid on." Severus gave him another spoonful of the apple sauce from a jar.

"You did the right thing in calling us, help is coming soon." Severus thanked the man and hung up, still feeding Harry because he didn't seem like he wanted to be done eating.

Paperwork and statements and a doctor's visit left Severus holding Harry and a social worker setting out some papers, "You do have options here. The next guardian would be a Sirius Black, just arrested for murder so we can't have that. Mr. Harry can go into the foster system, or you can take temporary guardianship since you were trusted with him, even if you don't know why."

"I'll keep you for Lily," he looked at the green eyes, "So what now?"

It was another few hours before Severus left with the toddler, a bag of supplies, and a social services appointment for the next week. But he swore to protect the little guy napping on his shoulder, even if he did look too much like James Potter.

Harry: Mine just says “Potter, no.”

Snape: I want you to apply it to every possible situation.

"You are on probation!" shrieked Professor Umbridge, and Snape looked back at her, his eyebrows slightly raised. "You are being deliberately unhelpful! I expected better, Lucius Malfoy always speaks most highly of you! Now get out if my office!"

Snape gave her an ironic bow and turned to leave.

Sirius Black Angsty Headcannons

When he was first sorted into Gryffindor, he was really really happy, but he was also scared. He was terrified of his mother and thought she was going to come to Hogwarts just to yell at him for it.

He didn't want to be friends with Peter Pettigrew, the rat faced boy. But James wanted him around, so Sirius sucked it up. He liked Remus from the get go and if James got the rat boy, he got the quiet blond one. Ten years later, he wished he fought harder on the rat boy front.

Sirius has really bad anxiety and needs constant reassurance. James praised him often enough to fight off the worst of it, but panic attacks still slipped in.

The only time Severus and Sirius were "friendly" in school was when they smoked muggle cigarettes outside behind a big rock at the lake. It was the only time he had to not act so put together.

He got caught drinking in class after The Incident in the Shrieking shack. Friendless, and anxiety through the roof, firewhiskey was the only thing to settle the nerves. And no one would listen to his apologies. He felt so ostracized he began to understand Snape better. When Sirius died, he still didn't know what made James accept him back.

After Azkaban, the Order celebrated his birthday and he faked all of the smiles but went upstairs and drank, sobbing for the missed years. Snape found him, handed him a cigarette and told Black that the others wouldn't ever understand, so don't drink yourself into a coma tonight.

Sirius couldn't sleep in the dark after the dementors. But all the lamps in Grimuland were charmed to turn off at certain times. Someone gifted him with a battery powered nightlight shaped like a cartoon dog. But he didn't know who to thank.

The week before his death, Sirius opened the curtains to his mother's portrait. She screamed to her heart's content as he stayed silent. It took an hour before she stopped to ask why he wasn't arguing back. Sirius was crying when he looked up at her and asked, "Why was I never good enough for you?" She didn't have any words left after that.

why did the wife kill herself?

Serious depression and trauma that she couldn't take anymore. They could have lost a baby to a heart condition. She was an alcoholic, Severus was in denial of how bad it actually was. But he came home and she was dead, not leaving any note, so he could only blame himself. Severus would want to leave himself too by any means possible if he could.

Some Angsty and pretty fucked up Snape HC's

Severus sold his virginity when he was 13, just so he could replace the school robes Potter destroyed on the last day of school. The bit he had left over was used for a new quill. But the pain wasn't something he was ever going to forget.

Despite what everyone thinks, he's deeply religious. Catholic and named after a Saint. No matter how much he prays and gives his Hail Mary's, every confession he gives; Severus knows his soul is tainted and he's going to Hell because he's too twisted and broken for even Purgatory. Professor Snape has taken away points for muggleborns using the Lord's name in vain. He's been late to post DE meetings for the Order so he could try to cleanse the guilt for not saving another life and lights candles for them.

He was married. For a year and a half before his wife killed herself. Severus blamed himself, thinks that she couldn't stand him anymore and couldn't find a way out other than death to be rid of him. He didn't date for five years afterwards and even then, he wouldn't dare bring up marriage, leaving if the relationship got anywhere close to that.

Severus frequently found himself looking for ways to kill his magic. Maybe if he was a squib, his father would love him again. He wouldn't have the sessions to beat the magic out of the Freak. The last time he looked, it was after Albus made him swear to kill him. He sobbed for two hours after he found his answer in a dark arts book, but it required him to commit murder.

Before he started teaching at Hogwarts, Lucius kicked him out of the cottage he let him squat in after he started developing feelings for a muggle man. Severus never knew what part of it pissed off his old friend more, the queer or the muggle. He was too scared to ask. But he was homeless that summer and the first hot meal he had in a month was at the welcoming feast.
