The first spell, Part I
Chapter 4 of 6
CantSpellAlone in the back of the classroom,
He tapped his wand on the table.
“Ptero-mothi.”
Professor McGonagall was not in any way lenient.
She insisted on perfection.
And he knew,
He would not be short of it.
“Ptero-moth!” he said as he bent,
Looking over the text one last time
Before he reached for his wand.
“Ladies and Gents
I bring you,
Severus Snape,
The Sorcerer Extraordinaire!"
he thought in his head.
"Ptero-moth!" he shouted.
And there it went.
His book flew up in the air.
And with a little pop,
It turned into a beautiful butterfly,
And flew far above his head.
And thus,
Severus Snape did his very first spell.
*No tormenter in this one, but the second part of this will*

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.
