Like many proud alumni of the honorable Hufflepuff House, ApollinaV is a rabbid Huffle-hugger, champion pear-tickler, and founding member of Cleansweep-Streakers Guild (the AV-Eyeful is so named in her honor). Since graduating Hogwarts, she done 'responsible' and 'professional' things - and resolves not to do that anymore. Dreadful amounts of paperwork.

I love it when two realitys collide.
Oh my gosh, they are staying in a hotel where a convention is going on! Brilliant! Woudl love to have you write his impressions of seeing the activities and costumes in the loby!
Response from ApollinaV (Author of Disillusioned Illusions)
*grins* That would be an entirely different fic. A joy to write I'm sure though. This was written for zibitcon in Chicago in August. AV
he met his doppelgänger? and didn't hex him? for simply looking like him. AND not being under the "don't wear wizzard-clothes" bane?a very much cultivated Snape. wow. more than the american accents. *sneer*gone to the smoker fraction.. ba.but that appears to be the part of the world , where you can find your most atractive fans. squee!!!
Response from ApollinaV (Author of Disillusioned Illusions)
Guess you just had to be there. The Chicago Zibit Con was wonderful. Even if there was absolutely no smoking in the Renaissance Hotel. Thanks. AV
Very nice!! I could just see the scene and I don't know you people from Adam. *squee* indeed. Poor Severus. It's not his fault he is so sexy.Glad you guys had a blast. I know only one person from my local area going to Dallas. Any plans for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in 2010? Given, I am not anywhere near your level, but I can improve!! I am keeping fingers crossed that the thing isn't a bust...We are already getting logistics ready from Miami. All women. I wonder why.Having been part of the exiled community on-again-off-again in the last 21 years (ugh!!! THAT HURT!!), my smoking 'habit' would have been way on...again. So that's where you were, AV, I missed you. It bothers me that I missed you, but there it is. I did. Love having your wit, and you, back.
Response from ApollinaV (Author of Disillusioned Illusions)
Any mention of Dallas is a fantasy of mine, and will depend heavily on the schedules of other Cons. I know someone is possibly plotting something for Cincinatti for Presidents Day weekend. But it was lovely and I can't wait to do it again. Meeting others was such a joy. If we hook up I'll definitely head out for the exiled commune, even if I'm an uncommitted smoker. *blushes* It feels good to be missed, but I wish you had been there.
Response from Canny (Reviewer)
I gotta keep an eye out for Cons and meetings. School gets in the way. After all, I am a serious college history professor...wait...I can't hold it back...here it comes...bwahahahahaha!!!!! Serious!!! *sigh* Anyway. I always enjoy what you write and this time felt a little envious of what was obviously a grand time...I do have a Ravenclaw uniform I wear every Halloween at school. My college kids love it. Well, if this theme park is any good, we'll make a date to meet and *squee* in person then, if not before.
Response from ApollinaV (Author of Disillusioned Illusions)
Count on it. *grins*
Response from Canny (Reviewer)
But there is something going on in March right? I thought I heard someone say that this Saturday...
LOL, the commune of exiled smokers. This is awesome. Poor Sev. At least he found companionship in the smoking section, tee hee.
Response from ApollinaV (Author of Disillusioned Illusions)
He most definitely would have found companionship. And had he shown up, he would have been fangurled so much Security would have escorted us away. *grins* Thanks Stef. AV
Bwahahahahaha!I'd pay for pictures of THAT Kodak moment. Brilliantly done, my dear!
Response from ApollinaV (Author of Disillusioned Illusions)
Wouldn't we all! Thank you love. AV
OmG, AV. This is awesome. I'm putting it in my faves now. I miss Chicago! Much Love ~ Brena
Response from ApollinaV (Author of Disillusioned Illusions)
I totally agree. I had so much fun and I'm totally up for whatever is next. March - in Dallas? AV
Response from BrenaMarie (Reviewer)
March is an easy month for me because of work. Keep me posted!
Hahahaha!!!!I love it! 99% perfect, only missing the saucy Muggle!witch in the leather corset!
Response from ApollinaV (Author of Disillusioned Illusions)
Or the other Black sister, my dear Bellatrix. *grins*Love you babe. AV
I think I would faint dead away, or giggle to the point of being hexed. Fantastic!!! :D
Response from ApollinaV (Author of Disillusioned Illusions)
Yep. That sounds a bit right. This scene did take place (minus Severus) in Chicago during the zibitcon. Had Severus actually shown up, I suppose Security would have evicted us from the building. AV
Ahh that was wonderful! Squee!
Response from ApollinaV (Author of Disillusioned Illusions)
Did you just say Squee??? You know it drives Severus crazy. *grins* Thank you m'dear. Zibitcon was such a wonderful time. AV
OMG, ROTFL until my sides hurt! That my dear is brilliant.
Response from ApollinaV (Author of Disillusioned Illusions)
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. But I'll confess that being out with Droxy!Snape makes me just as nervous and giddy. AV
He is lucky to have been dressed as a Muggle or these ladies might have jumped on him and try to have their wicked way...
Response from ApollinaV (Author of Disillusioned Illusions)
*nods* Absolutely. I'd have counted all of his buttons with my teeth. And trying to explain to my husband why I needed bail money wouldn't have been good. AV
Response from snitchette (Reviewer)
LOL
When reality and fantasy colide! Well done, you truly captured the mood...grin...Perhaps American witch Squee in stead of cackle? It's a thought.
Response from ApollinaV (Author of Disillusioned Illusions)
Why thank you. Some of us bad witches when downstairs to smoke a few times. It's a damn good thing Severus never showed up. That would have been chaos. Kisses. AV
i could totally picture the entire scene. most amusing.
Response from ApollinaV (Author of Disillusioned Illusions)
Why thank you. The scene did actually happen durning the ZibitCon in Chicago, with all the witches dressed with Droxy, but Snape did not appear. A good thing too... the Squeeage would have made us all deaf. AV
Caught you all bang to rights, did he? One for my smoking!Severus collection - thanks!
Response from ApollinaV (Author of Disillusioned Illusions)
Yep. And I'm utterly unrepentant. Thanks love. AV
bossy hermione FTW!Needs a shave? I beg your pardon?
Response from ApollinaV (Author of Disillusioned Illusions)
Um-hum. But babe, I gotta let you know, it's a backwards shaving process. You start off with a mad 5 o'clock shadow, but by 5 o'clock, it's thinned out. *grins* Please don't schwack me. Lurve you. AV
Response from droxy (Reviewer)
Oh yes, but that's how the Illusion works. The shadow goes on heavy, because I know that Snape was in for a long and environmentally tough day. I have to compensate for the deterioration. I wont smack you.It was so odd seeing that dude who looked like Snape. ;> If I recall he was thinner than I was. But I was suprised we had on similar boots. I think some of you were been rude checking him out like that. Didn't you see the wedding ring?
Response from ApollinaV (Author of Disillusioned Illusions)
Oh yes, the boots were bitchin' And i get the beard entirely - much rather have rugged 5 o'clock shadow-Snape than a less masculine look. As for the rings, I suspect most, if not all the witches wore rings as well. AV
Brilliant. LOL. Snape. Meet Snape. Ignore those witches. Yes, indeed. And robes are definitely appreciated. Love how you painted the scene!
Response from ApollinaV (Author of Disillusioned Illusions)
Why thank you! I think there are a few pics of us sitting out there smoking. But if Severus had showed up there'd been more than a few. AV
Very cute, AV. Especially the squeeing.
Response from ApollinaV (Author of Disillusioned Illusions)
Oh yes, some of the girls hit some high notes. *winces* Thanks deb. Missed you. AV
ROFL! Good one! :)
Response from ApollinaV (Author of Disillusioned Illusions)
Thanks penny! I'm so glad you got a good laugh from it. AV
Nice job with the prompt! Chuckled all the way through. :)
Response from ApollinaV (Author of Disillusioned Illusions)
Oh good! Excellent. I'm so glad you liked it. AV
Bwahahahaahah.Whatever this ‘Squee’ phenomenon was, Severus abhorred itSnape is quite lucky he didn't get glomped in the lift.
Response from ApollinaV (Author of Disillusioned Illusions)
*grins* Glomped is the tamest response. Thank you m'dear. AV
OMGOMGOMGOMG! I totally know why I gave you this prompt! Nobody, absolutely NOBODY could have described that smoking scene the way you did! *squeeeeeeeeee*
Response from ApollinaV (Author of Disillusioned Illusions)
Thank you love. And thanks for the massive pimpage. I had so much fun in Chicago, and so much fun reliving it while writing the prompt. Thank you Thank you Thank you. AV
I'm trying so hard not to laugh out loud right now, as the kids are asleep.I loved it, and am so jealous I couldn't be there.
Response from ApollinaV (Author of Disillusioned Illusions)
I'm so sorry you weren't. I hope you'll be able to make it if another one comes around. *grins* AV
Very nice :)
