Give it a try and I am always thankful for new ideas and feedback. 🩷
Since the SA scene with Severus and James is often ignored or denied, is here the ugly truth:
The next moment, Severus was hanging in mid-air again, and once more his greyish underpants were exposed.
"WHO WANTS TO SEE ME TAKE OFF SNIVELLY’ S FILTHY PANTS?"
The Slytherin, who until a moment ago had been writhing in the air in anger and desperation, froze.
His heart was racing, and his throat tightened.
Potter couldn't do this.
“Let me—” Severus began, but was immediately silenced again by the soapy water.
The boy gagged once more.
He wanted to get away.
Just away.
If only Potter would leave him alone.
But the Gryffindor had no intention of doing so.
With a crazed grin on his face, he vanished the black-haired boy’s pants.
As Severus felt the cold air blowing in from the lake against his bare genital and the eyes of everyone around upon him, he squeezed his eyes shut.
If he stopped struggling, perhaps it would be over more quickly... Perhaps James would leave him alone sooner.
Everything inside him tightened.
His chest and his throat.
Everything felt constricted and his heart was racing.
He just wanted to die.
Wanted the bubbling, bitter soapy water that was agonisingly trickling down his throat to finally take away his ability to breathe.
But even that mercy was denied to him.
“Look at him!” he heard James Potter bellow, and his eyes flew open again in panic.
Tiny beads of sweat had appeared on James’s forehead and his face was twisted into a malicious sneer. “Go on! Look at him!”
His eyes shone with a feverish gleam.
Nobody was laughing anymore.
The few students standing nearby watched the scene in horror and Marlene had fallen into the lake from shock.
No one dared intervene.
It was almost deathly silent.
Even the birds had stopped chirping.
Only James’s and Sirius’s mocking laughter cut through the silence and rang in Severus’s ears.
Everything seemed to be happening in slow motion.
The Slytherin watched James Potter’s lips moving, but what he was saying seemed to reach him only much later.
The Gryffindor panted, “Had enough now, Snivellus? Have you finally got the message?”
“Not feeling so important anymore, are you? You’re a no one, Snivellus! No one!” Sirius shouted just as hysterically.
After an unbearably long time, during which Severus hung helplessly in the air and struggled with all his strength not to vomit, another voice rang out, louder than James’s and Sirius’s laughter.

The hypocrisy of the fandom becomes very apparent when it comes to the Mary/Mulciber and James/Severus situations.
The facts are:
Mulciber attempted something on Mary that involved Dark Magic.
He DID NOT commit sexual assault. That's not Canon.
But the fandom invented sexual assault on his part in order to portray Mulciber (and, by being his friend, Severus) as evil.
James, on the other hand, DID assault Severus.
It was sexual assault.
He actually did it.
But the fandom does not care, because the victim is Severus and the perpetrator is James.
snape says one slur and spends like 40 years making up for it, and he is the devil reincarnated, james mercilessly bullies a boy for being lower class and ugly then shows no signs of regret, but he is the one who is misunderstood complex... right
Here's why what James did was sexual assault and not pantsing.
Pantsing is usually defined as pulling down someone’s pants as a joke or prank. It’s immature, invasive, and often done for laughs. It's also quick and done and over with. That said, why is pantsing okay? Why is that the go to defense that pantsing somehow morally acceptable behavior. Maybe its okay thing to do among your friends, but to do to someone who you are not friends with, and who you mess with constantly...? In every other form of media pantsing is humiliating and degrading to the person, and that usually shown to be bad. So why it's used to justify James and Sirius here in have no fucking idea outside of people hate a character so they're cool with it. SO even if you DONT THINK ITS SA Pantsing is still wrong...
What do you think about Alexis Zabini? (Blaise's mum)
girlboss
belongs to Azkaban
nothing of it
both of it
Alexis Zabini merely snorted, brushed a strand of hair from her forehead, and then said with a wrinkle of her nose, “You can stop going on about the fact that I think I’m too good to work, Dorcas. I simply don’t fancy slogging away for a miserable salary, and I stand by that. I want to get something out of life. I want experiences, travel, good food… and jewellery. Not rot away in some dusty Ministry office and spend my days counting the grey hairs on my head.”
Everyone laughed.
“She’s got a point,” Bruce said, amused.

James Potter, as Sirius told him what he did to Severus and Remus:
“By the way, a thank you wouldn’t kill you,” Sirius sulked.
James let out a humourless laugh. “Oh, absolutely. How about, thanks for sending Remus to Azkaban and yourselves right along with him. Or no, thanks for betraying Remus to Snivellus.”

Unpopular Opinion: (and it's sick that this is an UNPOPULAR Opinion)
I would rather have a mean teacher, than get SAd by my classmates.
"Severus only change because of Lily-" And Dumbledore only gave up on his world dominating, killing spree fantasy with his lover only because his sister died. Yall do realize people change with experiences? People make bad choices and regret? Or do you'll live in fairytales?
Young Severus:
Two and a half years more, he told himself. Two and a half years, and he would never have to see any of them again.
He would finish school and turn his back on Hogwarts for good. And then everything would finally get better.
It simply had to.
Adult Severus:
...
02.05.
Rest in peace. 💔
Wands up for our heroes. /*
It‘s always „They were still teenagers when they got together.“
But never „He was still a teenager when he joined Voldemort.“
It‘s always „They were barely adults by the time they were murdered.“
But never „He was barely an adult when he had already betrayed Voldemort and changed sides.“
It‘s always „He was just a kid“ when he was bullying other students.
But never „He was just a kid“ when he was literally groomed into a cult in school.
It‘s always „He was just a kid when he was groomed and abused at home.“
But never „ He was just a kid when he was groomed in school and neglected and beaten at home.“
It‘s always „he was just a kid doing a silly prank.“ when he tried to lure somone out to the hideout of a literal werewolf who would have killed him.
And never „he was just a kid almost getting mauled by a werewolf and silenced afterwards.“
It‘s always „He was just a kid when he assaulted someone and hung them in the air upside down.“
But never „He was just a kid when he was assaulted in front of the whole school“.
It‘s always „they were just kids“.
As long as it‘s the marauders.
It‘s always „boys will be boys“ when it‘s James and Sirius.
And it‘s always „he deserved it“ and „he was just a horrible man“ when it‘s Severus.
The marauders fandom is so two- faced it makes me sick sometimes.
Do you think the Marauders liked their Animagus?
James did
Sirius did
Peter did
None of them did
All of them did
The process starts now in my new chapter. (Coming soon)

“What sort of animal would you like to be?” he went on.
“No idea. Something powerful. A lion, maybe,” James’s voice came out of the darkness.
“A lion would definitely suit you,” Peter replied eagerly.
“I don’t mind,” Sirius answered the friends question now. “As long as it’s not something boring like a rabbit or a bird orwhatever.”
James and Peter nodded silently.
“I don’t mind either,” Peter said, answering his own question. “Just not a water creature.”
“Because you would have to bathe?” Sirius asked mockingly, and James laughed. “Peter the tadpole. What a delightful thought.

Listening to the hp audio drama (courtesy of the seven seas) and listened to Draco and Harry's first meet
And the Draco and James parallels are even more striking. We've talked to death about the "I think I'd leave, wouldn't you?" parallels for Hufflepuff and Slytherin... but nobody's mentioned the fact that both James and Draco talk about "the wrong/right sort".
Draco talks shit about muggleborns who didn't know about the magical world until they got their letters for Hogwarts, and Harry takes offence because that's what happened to him.
And James talks shit about Slytherins, which Sirius takes offence to because his family all were from that House- as well as Severus, of course, because that's the House he wanted to go to, but the "wrong sort" parallel matches Sirius a little more because James' response to that information is "i thought you were alright".
And of course, there's the classism in both James and Draco's behaviour: Draco's more blatant with the blood purity/"old families" comment, James' in the way he treats Severus Vs Sirius (Sirius, rich, from old money is treated with a little more respect despite actually being from a family known to be connected to Slytherin House and dark magic, while Severus, who is so visibly poor it's drawn to our attention, is completely mocked despite there being no confirmation that he would actually be in there and the only reason he wants to be there seems to be for "brains").
At least Draco was trying to be friendly with Harry when he was being a little shit. Openly bigoted, yes, but he wasn't actually out bullying Harry but rather just sharing gossip (and I do genuinely believe the only reason Harry got offended about the remarks about Hagrid was due to his friendship with Hagrid- because Harry's just as much of a judge lil prick, see: every description of Snape ever).
James was just bullying Severus on sight.
An excerpt from my new chapter: (Coming soon.)
“Yes, indeed,” Remus spoke up now, “we could have been seriously harmed. Especially James and Sirius.”
“But you still look very much alive, Potter. Whoever that was clearly didn’t try well enough,” Marlene grinned broadly.

Chapter is posted.
The Marauders 1973:
“Well, to the followers of that wizard guy, of course,” Sirius said, rolling his eyes. “My parents are absolutely thrilled about him too.”
“So he really exists?” Peter’s eyes widened.
“Seems like it,” Sirius shrugged. “But honestly, who cares? He can cause as much drama as he wants. Minister Jenkins won’t be impressed. Voldemort, he supposedly calls himself… Ridiculous.”
James snorted with amusement. “If you ask me, he’s just another nutcase like all the other Muggle-haters. He just needs a hobby. Gardening, for example.”
The Marauders 1981:
...
It’s the way "Marauders fans" talk about Severus Snape that really finishes me off.
Like, they’ll sit there in their comfortable rooms and preach about how "nothing excuses his actions," but they will never, ever understand the view from the bottom. They see a bitter man; I see the kid who had nothing. I see the greasy hair and the mismatched, oversized clothes and I don't see a "villain"—I see the kid who didn't have enough money for soap. I see the kid whose parents were too busy drowning in their own war to notice he was being hunted in the hallways.
And the "bullying victims" who hate him? Those are the ones that hurt the most.
If you were a TRUE victim of that kind of soul-crushing bullying, you wouldn’t be able to stand the Marauders. You wouldn't be able to look at James Potter and see a "hero."
How can you say you were bullied and then turn around and justify the Marauders? You’re doing the exact same thing everyone did to you. You’re looking at a kid who was a scapegoat, a kid who was humiliated for his appearance and his poverty, and you’re saying "Well, James and Sirius had a rough life too, so it’s okay that they targeted him." You’re literally doing what your bullies did. You’re giving the "privileged" bullies a pass because they’re charming or because they "had it rough" in a way that’s easy to pity—like a strict family—while turning a blind eye to the raw, grinding survival of the kid they targeted.
And don’t even start with the "he bullied children when he got older" argument. You want to talk about how he turned out? Let’s talk about what happens when you spend your entire childhood being the punching bag for "golden boys." Let's talk about the bitterness that rots your soul when you realize the world will always prefer a charming bully over a poor, "scary" victim.
You think you and Snape went through the same thing? Then how can you forgive the people who broke him? You’re just proving my point. You’re choosing the side of the people who never had to dig in the trash for a "toy." You're choosing the people who have a safety net, while the rest of us are just trying not to drown in the silence.
It’s the absolute hypocrisy of the "SA victim" to card being used to silence anyone who defends Snape. How can you claim to care about consent and bodily autonomy, and then watch a scene where a boy is levitated, pinned, and stripped by force in front of a laughing crowd, and not call it exactly what it is?
It’s assault. Period.
But because it’s Severus, everyone suddenly develops selective amnesia. Because he’s "the weird kid," because he’s a Slytherin, because he’s "ugly" or "bitter," you decide his body doesn't belong to him. You justify James Potter and Sirius Black stripping him in public as "just a prank" or "schoolboy rivalry."
If that were any other character—if that were a girl, or if that were one of the "Golden Trio"—you would be screaming from the rooftops about the trauma of that moment. You would be talking about the lifelong psychological damage of having your privacy and your body violated for the entertainment of your peers.
But no. You’ll look a real survivor in the eye and say it’s different. You’ll say it’s okay because of who he became later. Since when does being a "bitter adult" retroactively make it okay for people to have assaulted you when you were a fifteen-year-old kid with no one to protect you?
How dare you.
How dare you use the language of survivors to protect the bullies and the predators just because they’re "charming" and "heroic." You’re not standing up for victims; you’re standing up for the people who think they have the right to touch and humiliate anyone they deem "lesser" than them just for EXISTING . If you can watch that scene and laugh, or even just shrug it off, you aren't a champion for victims—you’re just another person turning a blind eye to the reality of assault because the victim wasn't "likable" enough for you to care.
It’s the sheer isolation that follows that kind of trauma—the kind where you realize that your body isn't yours and your dignity can be erased in a single afternoon for the amusement of the "heroes."
How can you not see the psychological prison he lived in after that?
Imagine the next day. Imagine walking into the Great Hall and having to meet the eyes of every single student, wondering if they were there. Wondering if they saw everything. Wondering if they’re replaying the moment you were stripped and humiliated while you’re just trying to eat your breakfast. Every laugh in the corridor, every whisper behind a hand—it all becomes a weapon. You stop looking up. You stop making eye contact. You become a ghost in your own skin because it’s the only way to feel safe afraid of ripping your skin with your hands if you don't feel safe.
And the "house" that was supposed to be his family? He became a stranger there, too. When you’re the "poor kid" who got publicly shamed, your own housemates don't always rally around you; sometimes they distance themselves because they don't want the "loser" scent to rub off on them. He was isolated in the one place he was supposed to belong.
Then there’s Lily.
Everyone talks about how "he called her a name," but nobody talks about the context of a boy in the middle of a mental breakdown and physical assault. He was being violated, his adrenaline was red-lining, he was humiliated beyond repair—and in that moment of total powerlessness, he lashed out at the only person he cared about try to actually stop instead of just talking or hit the four boys who were actually hurting him.
That small detail—the flicker of a smile before she "caught herself"—is what makes the blood boil. It’s the ultimate betrayal.
Imagine being at your lowest point, being physically violated and publicly mocked, and looking to the one person in the world who is supposed to be your "safe place," only to see them enjoying it for even a split second. That smile confirms every dark thought a person in poverty has: Even the people who "love" me think my humiliation is funny. Even the people who know my heart think I’m a joke.
It’s that specific, cruel brand of "holier-than-thou" behavior. She gets to play the saint later by "defending" him, but that momentary smile proved she was just as entertained by the Marauders' cruelty as everyone else. She was a spectator to his assault before she was a protector, and you can’t just erase that.
It makes her "mercy" feel like pity, and her anger at his slur feel like an easy exit strategy—a way to stop being friends with the "poor, weird kid" without having to feel guilty about it. She used his mistake to justify abandoning him when he was at his most broken.
And she walked away. She refused his apology. She saw a boy being assaulted and focused on a word instead of the trauma. She left him to drown in the aftermath of the Marauders' "joke" because it was easier to be offended than to be a witness to his pain.
And the teachers? The adults? Total silence. They watched it happen. They knew the Marauders were relentless. They saw the "greasy," poor kid being targeted day after day and they did nothing. They validated the bullies by letting them get away with it. When the system that’s supposed to protect you decides your humiliation is "harmless fun," where else are you supposed to go?
You don't just "get over" that you don't tell a victim they should get over what screwed them up in their life like they're entitled you and time
And you know what that comes from? ME WHO WAS CALLED SCARY FACE AS A KID FOR JUST EXISTING I HATED MY FACE FOR THAT. I was Blamed for my cousin actions towards people and was harassed because of that for something I couldn't control I tried multiple times telling him to stop and his friends to yet they didn't listen and I was blamed and hated by the majority of the girls at school for it so don't you dare or rather come on try to defend your marauders in a logical way and I promise you I'm gonna write back and bite like a dog for it bone if I see you justify their actions you understand me? Try a true bullying unattractive poor victim here sweetie
