Severus Snape does not master in the minds art. so that Tom did not take interest in Severus. and he did not become a death eater. but he has anger issues. he gets angry easily. so that why after graduation. he left the wizarding world and worked hard. and saved money and made his own pub. now he worked in his own pub as bartender.
.....
year 1997/3 July
today Severus Snape was very happy. because his day went very well. Today he did not get angry from the morning. now it was time to close the pub. but suddenly a knock came from the door. so he went there and opened the door and said "sorry but the pub is clos.." but he stopped at the middle sentence he saw that there was standing Lily potter, James potter, Sirius black, Remus Lupin with two more aurors
"you won't ask us to come in" said Lily with a gentle smile
"yes-yes come in" said Severus while coming back from his shocked
when everyone sits on their chair Severus asks "anyone wants any drinks" with a creepy smile. that smile can scare anybody.
there was silence for the whole minute. Lily, James, Sirius, Remus, with the other two aurors. start processing what he said and then they all understand he just ask for a drink.
"no we don't want a drink" said all the boys on the chair "give me your best drink " said Lily with a carefree smile
"Lily you forgot why we are here" said a auror with a very serious expression
"and who are you" said Severus pointing at the auror. with a confused expression. he doesn't see that person in his entire life
"you can call me Mad-Eye" said Mad-Eye still serious
"whatever we are here to get some information for you" said James
"What information you want from me. I left the magical world many years ago.What can I help you with. I don't have any information that can help you. if you want information on the Muggle world. You will find many more people out there for this. so why did you come to me for that" said Severus but at the last sentence his voice became a little high
"You know by now that Voldemort is defeated and killed" said Lupin with a blank space
"so we want information on the identity of death eaters and how many there are" said Mad-Eye
"How would I know that" said Severus with a careless expression
one auror who came with them said "you are a death eater are you not.."with a smile on his face
Severus eyes become bigger with surprise but suddenly that surprise change into anger
"cold down Severus you are not angry you cannot become angry" said Severus in a whisper while grabbing his head. but everybody in the room hear it. even if he spoke in low voice
Severus hit his head on the wall near the table. and said "now it is ok. I am in control once again. don't worry about this. if I don't do this there will be a dead body fallen in this room Oh yes what were you saying"
