photo ai: Severus Snape but in his past.

In the year 1976, Severus Snape was just starting out as a young wizard at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He had always been fascinated by magic since he was a child, and he knew from a very early age that this would be his life's calling. As he grew older, he became more skilled in all aspects of magical arts, including potions making, transfiguration, charms, and defense against dark forces.

One day, while walking through the halls of Hogwarts, Severus came across a portrait of himself painted many years ago. The painting showed him wearing a long black robe with a silver brooch pinned to it, along with a pair of round glasses perched on top of his head. It also depicted him holding a wand made of oak wood with a dragon heartstring core.

As Severus looked upon the painting, he felt a sense of nostalgia and wonderment. He remembered how much he loved being a student at Hogwarts, and how excited he was about everything that lay ahead of him. But then, something caught his eye - a small detail hidden within the painting.

There, tucked away behind one of the curtains, was a tiny golden snitch. Suddenly, Severus realized what the painting meant. This wasn't just any old portrait; it was a message from the future!

Someone had gone back in time and created this painting specifically for him, so that he could see into his own destiny. And now, thanks to the snitch, he knew exactly where his journey would take him next...
