This story has been adopted from AHBK1, I will do my best to write a story worth of you as the reader. On that note I sadly do not own Harry Potter or any of the Potter Universe and characters contained within.

Chapter One-The First Sketch

The first sketch appeared tacked to his office door three days after his first class period of humiliating Potter. He was still delightfully smug about the entire deal, the green eyes had flashed with anger and sorrow at his harsh cutting words. Perhaps it was petty of him to feel glad that he'd hurt an eleven year old child, regardless of their parentage, but he honestly didn't care. And so, after the last period of the day, a Thursday to be exact, Severus Snape halted in front of his office door surprised to see a creamy piece of parchment hastily stuck to the rough wood. Nimble, elegant fingers plucked the parchment from the surface, and obsidian eyes glared at the picture.

It was crudely done, the lines and shadowing hastily and sloppily slapped onto the parchment. Angry boring eyes leered down from a great height at the artist, it was clear the subject was himself. The large hooked nose and ugly features were twisted into a malevolent sneer, his eyes filled with fire and anger. It did not matter how young the student was, it was clear they were talented.

At the bottom was the title. Intimidation.

The picture raised a series of questions. One: who would draw this? Two: why would they be intimidated by him, he rather thought himself a stern but fair teacher. And certainly not a bully, no, that was something best left to Potter Senior and Black. He himself would never stoop so low.

Snape scowled angrily at himself, it clearly was a prank and made no sense to him. Whichever of his pathetic students had done this would be getting a year's worth of detentions, and yet, it was intriguing. The artist had been stupid to draw this, but at the same time, there was a hint of recrimination of damnation, of all things, from them aimed at him. Severus studied the artwork, his mind for once dragged from its usual contemplation of potions and dunderheaded brats.

For the first time in a long time, Severus Snape was intrigued.
