A canon compliant version of the last fourteen years in the life of Severus Snape. Canon compliant but with one important difference: in this story, Severus Snape has a friend. A friend who offers him her hand in the dark and will stay by his side until the bitter end.

Born: in the glorious year of 1979, when Dio joined Black Sabbath and Peter Pettigrew started passing on information to the Dark Lord
Colours: black, green, silver
Passions: writing, cooking, baking, witchcraft
Obsessions: quite a few, chocolate for one (hi Lupin!), but mainly a certain Potions master and a blond DE.
When I am not writing alone, I co-write with my favourite Ravenclaw star_girl. Look for sevs_starsisters to find our stories.
Published writer since 2014. Original fiction is good fun, but I find myself returning to fan fiction every now and then

Sneaky. Lucius is her father isn't he? And he doesn't know. But I am only guessing. Still loving it.
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
Good idea, but no. I'm not sure how much older than Severus Lucius is (2 or 3?), and as Severus is 10 years older than Morgaine, Lucius would have been a very young father.But I like the idea.Cheers./M
Response from kyriaofdelphi (Reviewer)
Somewhere I read that Lucius is at least 6 or 7 years older than Severus and probably more like 10 years older. I think if your check Mugglenet or the Lexicon sites they give dates for Malfoy. I think there was a story or maybe canon that said when Severus was sorted into Slytherin Lucius was a prefect.
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
I just had to go and check. Acc. to HPL, Lucius was born 1954. So he´s 16 years older than Morgaine ... hm ... gives me bad ideas ;-)

Excellent chapter. I'm so glad you realise that Remus was the best of the Marauders. He is a truly tragic hero. Kind and gentle yet cursed with transforming into a beast. He is my second favourite. Thank you.

Getting more interesting as it goes on.
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
Thank you
Very interesting.
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
I know that it s half a year ago since you wrote this review, and it annoys me very much that I haven't answered it yet. ;-)
woaw............What a wonderful story! Such sweet and innocent love. I loved the way it developed between the two of them. How Severus is in complete denial for so long. Poor man... And how strong she is! How many wouldn't just have turned away and let him battle his deamons alone. But no.Such a shame she doesn't get to keep him (I will read the sequel ASAP!) but I'm sure she'll never forget him - and it seems he's still 'around' to make sure she'll survive. I really like how you incoperated scenes from the books, how easily you fit Morgaine into them, without her being 'in the way'! I wonder if the sequel will tell us more about Morgaine's family. About her mum and maybe even WHICH D.E. is her dad...? And maybe just a hint about her great-grandmother?! Did I mention that I love the length of your chapters? Long enough to cover everything, but short enough to keep me wanting more and more and more... (good thing there were 35 chapters and a sequel! ♥ )
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
I am very, very glad you liked this story. It was my first, my baby, if you will, and Morgaine became a dear friend over the years. That's why I couldn't just leave her like this. Hope you will enjoy the sequel
*Le Gasp*Slytherin!

Are we surprised? AT ALL??
Response from MrsAstoriaMalfoy (Reviewer)
Not really... Are there any other houses at Hogwarts?
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
Yeah. The houses where all the uncool kids end up ;-)
Good girl! Oh and I love the jumps between Her being the narrator and following Severus' thoughts and moods!
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
Glad you like it so far.
Who wouldn't be nervous in front of all the Hogwarts teaching staff? Nice start! - Now, onto the next chapter :)
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
Note to self: re-read that story :P
Love the tempo and dark atmosphere closing in on everyone - things really start excelerating for all involved; Morgaine's declaration and acceptance of him and his past is so poignant - highlighting this time before Voldy reappears
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
Love to re-read this story with you!! :-)
Great chapter; love the canon parallel - poor Sev... always the underdog, undervalued, overlooked - glad you've given this more dignity - it was a hard read in canon JKR having him raving so - this was more true to the DH Sev, the sacrificed Sev - the real Sev
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
I remember that this was the first scene when I was really angry with JKR. It was also the first time I felt really, really sorry for Severus. Actually, the idea of writing a fic where Severus has a true friend (the idea of writing fan fic at all) was born while I was reading PoA. :-)
Response from nagandsev (Reviewer)
Yeah, for me too *shuddering* it really stood out that she'd gone out of her way to be deliberately, unnecessarily cruel, for me OOC even for who she had portrayed so far, at that point, depicting him so out of control and revolting... Your story more than makes up for her shortcomings!
Again, love the intertwining of canon; and you know I'm big softy when Remus is around *waggling eyebrows*; love the struggle within Severus, and the ending with a possible promise...
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
Welcome to the I-Am-A-Big-Softie-When-Remus-Is-Around-Club *hands you a bar of chocolate* :-)
Response from nagandsev (Reviewer)
Yum!!!
Up until Morgaine's last thoughts: *happy dance*
I really enjoyed their *coming* together again, and had forgotten how Morgaine had escaped big, bad Lucius' paws.... Then, with her last inner monologue shared - things are coming back to me... and I believe it's safe to hate Dumbles again, full-heartedly - hehe! Seriously, the ending of this chapter -
Great work!
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
Welcome to the I-Hate-Albus-Dumbledore-Club. *hands you a pitchfork* GO FOR IT!
Ah, yes, Lucius on the prowl! Morgaine is Slytherin but Lucius is oh so more experienced; can't remember when and how she finds out what she wants from him - again, enjoying re-experiencing this tale again!
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
Ah, Lucius, the little snake. Of course he has to go spoil things. But he does it ever so smoothly. Got to love him.
Just love all of the intertwining of canon - yum! Had forgotten about Fluffy! Poor sev, but at least something wonderful came out of it - the walls have came down, once again! Great chapter!
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
How could you forget Fluffy?? Keeping close to canon was backbreaking work, but definitely worth it.
So much has transpired, such events and time with no answers to their un-asked questions through the years - reading on!
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
If those two actually had had the courage to ask all those questions, they would have spared themselves a lot of heartache.
Oh, so poignant - how strong and brave and selfless a decision Morgaine has made to give Sev a freedom of choice - you're right, she is a saint! xxx ovely work!
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
I wish I had her patience, her courage, her ... Nah, that's never going to work for me ;-)
Great chapter! Love the Wiccan Rede references/quotes!
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
Thank you!
Lovely description and flow; poignant depiction of when exactly Morgaine fell in love, the point of no return - lovely!
Response from morgaine_dulac (Author of Morgaine's Story)
Wouldn't it be lovely to be able to pintpoint THAT exact moment in one's life?
Response from nagandsev (Reviewer)
HA!
