ALTERNATE UNIVERSE: After six generations of isolation from wizarding society a member of the mysterious, highly-traditional, and pureblood Snape family emerges at Hogwarts. To begin school in his 6th year is already challenge enough but what happens when a certain red-head enters his life, turning it upside-down; forcing him to compromise everything he and his family stand for?

Severus divulges the dark terrors of his childhood at the hands of a violent and drunken father. The grim recesses of his past boiled down to his most ghastly experiences. . .

Who's to say Severus and Lily never had a night of passion? What happens when the consequences present after he calls her a mudblood? Will the product of their inebriated night fix their damaged friendship or make it savagely worse?

It's common knowledge Professor McGonagall taught Gryffindor house the art of waltzing in light of the Triwizard Tournament. This would make it safe to assume that Professor Snape instructed the Slytherins. . .
