Summary
Around Christmas 1991, Harry Potter found the Mirror of Erised. About a week before Christmas Eve, Albus Dumbledore decided to intervene, rightly suspecting that Harry was losing himself in it. But he couldn't put it in place just yet. It would be too dangerous without first understanding exactly how to enchant it to protect the Philosopher's Stone. So, as often happened, Dumbledore asked a favour of the person he knew could not betray him: Severus Snape. He will be forced to keep it in his private quarters throughout the Christmas holidays.

Summary
Severus Snape wasn't always a grumpy professor with a permanent scowl and a brooding presence. He was once "Sev". He was the Half-Blood Prince. He was a Death Eater. He was all of these things before he became the man we know from the canon. Each phase of his life had its own place, causes and consequences, and they all coexisted to create one of the most complex and discussed characters in the whole saga. This fic aims to understand exactly how Severus Snape became Severus Snape. From the age of fifteen until that fateful Halloween night.
...or Severus Snape's slow descent into madness and involvement with a dark cult of wizarding terrorists.
