The first time, when he was a young boy of four, he didn't know about the swamp and got trapped in it while helping his mother gather potions ingredients. The second time a heartsick Severus, feeling he had no purpose or reason to continue living, intentionally went to the fen to end his own life, sending a Patronus to his mother. - Severus' patronus to Eileen Roderick Prince and Albus Dumbledore (Betrayer's Blade) got there just in time to rescue him. Roderick told his grandson he wouldn't die alone if he did this, fully intending to follow him. That shocked Severus enough to reach for his grandfather's hand. The second their hands clasped, Dumbledore levitated them both to safety. This incident included the only time Eileen ever slapped her son.
