Offerings in the Darkness

by h_vic

Christmas Eve brings candles, guilt and memories for Severus Snape.

"He had been little more than a boy when his mother had died. At a loss for how to comfort the grieving child he barely knew, and seeking perhaps the familiar routines of his own childhood in solace, his father had taken him to church. Severus, however, had found no comfort in the austere, hallowed stone of the chapel, but he found something in the warm candlelight of the offerings to the souls of the departed. If it was not exactly comfort, at least it was more than emptiness. Religion had never permeated his soul, but the candlelight had."

Black as Snow

by Celestial Melody

Bellatrix and Tom Riddle--two of the most enigmatic characters in Harry Potter--have puzzled writers and readers alike since their equally horrifying introductions. Why did Bellatrix believe she was Lord Voldemort's most dedicated and favored follower? Why did the Dark Lord indulge a woman whom he could have squashed like an insignificant bug; why did he allow her to continue in her 'delusions,' if, indeed, they were delusions?

I believe that these allowances are not simply coincidences. Why should the most feared dark wizard of all time cater to a pawn? There must have been prior connections between the two to create this bond.

In "Black as Snow," we glimpse a snippet of Tom Riddle's life at Hogwarts, his (hypothetical) introduction to Bellatrix, and, afterwards, the special bond the witch and wizard shared ... then, and now.

Created for the wonderful rita_skeeter in MNFF's Ravenclaw Christmas Exchange, 2006.

Lily’s Son

by h_vic

At the start of term feast, Severus Snape watches the first years being Sorted with a little more interest than usual, and a little more regret, as he finds one child’s presence brings back too many memories of a woman he once loved… and betrayed.

Even if Severus could forgive Harry Potter for who his father was, forgiving him for who his father was not may be harder.

Brandy for Bellatrix

As a member of B.E.G. (Bellatrix Eradication Group), I felt the need to write a suitable story to humiliate and punish her for the viles acts she has committed. These characters, of course, belong to JK Rowling and I am just borrowing them.
