I was listening to music and I started imaging Severus in a muggle mental hospital after becoming a drunk like his father (but not violent), becoming self destructive with some potions to get high, and suicidal tendencies. Like Severus no longer cares about what happens to him or about keeping secrets.
While there he meets a girl name Laura, who's there due to suicidal tendencies and abandonment issues. She becomes attached to Severus because one night Severus tells her a story about his first time dealing with some magical creature. Laura thinks it's funny and just a fake story, since then she's become very attached to him.
Severus, while detoxing, talks about the Wizarding world to a therapist and to Laura, whenever she has a melt down or is just sad. Dumbledore doesn't notice that Severus hasn't shown up for 6th year and he only realizes it when a few slytherins notice and question his absence. Now Dumbledore tries to locate him but he fails. It isn't until Severus uses magic to change Laura's hair to different colors inorder to cheer her up that Dumbledore finds out where he is.
The ministry is there obviously and they try to remove Severus but Lucius gets involved when he caught word of what's going on. The ministry is concerned over the fact that Severus has talked about the Wizarding world but Lucius has no concern since no one believes him, hell it's written in Severus's file that he's a schizophrenic (which is a lie, clearly)
Now Lucius, Dumbledore, and the Ministry are trying to figure out what to do. Lucius wants to leave Severus there, Dumbledore wants to bring Severus back to hogwarts, and The Ministry wants to place Severus in St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries
And while they all argue Severus is having his hair braided by Laura while he happily reads to her.
This is a random drawing of Severus and Laura together
