The Letter That Was Late
Chapter 2 of 6
CantSpellSnape watches the sky for a letter that doesn't come.
ReviewedHe stared at the sky
Clouds cluttered the view
Hiding the sun from the world
Birds flew by
But none carrying his wish
Maybe his wish would never come
And he was doomed to live
At Spinner's End
But suddenly,
A glimmer of hope
As a large bird flies down from the heavens
Holding a letter
And…
It flies down the chimney of the next house
Along with any hope he has left
That night,
His mother cooks silently
His father sighs in relief
And Severus Snape cries himself to sleep.
When he awakes
Eyes throbbing,
He hears the yell of a man in pain
A yell that could mean great distress
A yell from a man who hates his son
And wishes nothing good for him.
This yell made Severus a very happy person.
He rushes down to the kitchen,
To find his mother crouched on the floor
Crying
And his father holding a piece of parchment.
His wish had finally come.

Awww, he is so proud of himself.
You pushed his buttons, and found the one marked Crucio.
Severus had a lot to put up with.
Poor Severus, to want something so much, and then when he finally gets it, his mother suffers.
Very dark, for one so young.
Oh ain't love grand.
I like the confidence in himself, and I can nearly see his smug expression as he finally gets the spell right! hehe

Yes, this is obviously before he begins to be made fun of. I think we he starts to get "tormented" I believe his self confidence will take a dive, poor fellow
No, I did. I got the letter the day before I had to leave, haha
LOL.. I hope that's him giving the speaker a Crucio. ~snicker~ Poor guy. No wonder he's so pissy, eh?

I think any kinda of gossip would make us all jsut a little cazy or in this case, very angry. Yeah, it's Snape. I enjoyed the pudding part, that one made me lauph when I wrote it. That too was based on a personal expirence!

By the way, I enjoy your stories very much. Yours are the best I’ve ever read, you hold true to character’s personalities. I think some of us forget what the characters are like in the books and we make the mistake of forming some kind of quixotic Snape that’s quit scary.
southern_witch_69's response:Thanks. It's easier in some stories than others. I guess it depends if I'm feeling Snapey. hehehe! I am quite happy that you read my work though.
Poor Snape! I can just feel his disappointment. Grrr, his dad's a jerk!

This one is based on when I tried out for a band playing my tuba and they were to resond to tell me if I had made it in two weeks time and...sadly, the letter never came. I was so upset, then I had found out that it jsut got lost in the mail and I was accepted. But I think a Hogwarts letter would have disturbed me more.
southern_witch_69's response: Oh, man! So did you not get the chance later on to play?I think this is adorable. I like all the little names they call him (poor bloke). It reminds me of something Peeves would come up with.

This is my first try so thank you! yes, I'm really interested in Snape's childhood and I'll prolly do more stuff like this.

Now that I think about it...you're right, it does sound like peeves would say...haha weird..southern_witch_69's response: Teehee! Cool. I can't wait to read.
