Description
This is my interpretation of teenage Severus Snape recruited to be a Death Eater.He was not forced, he is not a prisoner guarded by young Lucius. Becoming a Death Eater was the will of his own, I believe the moment he joined the dark side he had no doubt he had place there, he did believe the promises of the Dark Lord, but we should never forget he was too young, wounded and abandoned - excellent target for Voldemort.
He went there proudly and bravely but I don't think there is a living person who would not get frightened standing face to face to the darkest wizard of the century, the creator of dementhors, the man who had no soul, though he had a human form.
Severus was not the first student from Hogwarts who was guarded by Lucius to the Dark Lord, he knew very well they brake... they all did. He grabbed Severus's arm in advance, strongly and also showing the hierarchy he is sofond of. Prince Lucius and the little dirtbag with his chemistry set.
Severus wants to get rid of Lucius's fingers, wants to look neglectful as nothing concerns but becomes more and more uncomfortable, alarmed and scared.
But there is no way back.
The age of innocence is over.
Severus Snape belongs to J. K. Rowling.

Wonderful. You really captured that time . Lucius was probably 'grooming' him for this moment, having noticed his strengths and importantly his weaknesses early at school, and is not going to look a fool infront of the dark lord so is keeping close control over Severus. Sirius calling Severus Lucius's "lap dog" made me think that way initially.
I always saw Lucius as being like some kind of 'recruiter' back then, perhaps unofical, but he seems like the type who could be very seductive and convincing and a good profiler. The way he has the ministry in his pocket later on suggests that of his nature (who can be manipulated and how best to do it with the minimum of fuss- he doesn't seem to like anything 'messy')

Why didn't I see this before? It's really good. I like how you've examined the psychological aspects of Snape's corruption. Thoughtfully done

Wow, you put so much thought into this picture. Fantastic. I love it when the artist has a story in mind when they draw, especially with fanart. That is so important.
I adore this teenage Snape. He isn't too pretty. He looks neglected and poor, but also strong and determined, bitter and ambitious. If he is afraid he won't let anyone know it.
Lucius' iron grip on his young protege is impressive too. It really speaks to his personality, I think. He is probably thinking - I ahve invested all this time and energy in you, and there is no way I am going to let you run out on this, embarass me in front of the Dark Lord now. You are going to be initiated whether you like it or not 
This is wonderful work.

Ah thanks. Being a fanfiction writer I think I live in this universe far too much in my head, and when I see a picture as detailed as the one you drew hear, it spawns all sorts of wonderful stories in my head!

I got lot of inspiration here, too! And what about fanfictions, have you tried to write other than fanfiction or this is your home, sweet home?

Well, I know that I should probably try to write something original (something publishable to justify all the hours I spend at this
