It, and a lot of other good stuff, are at the Severus big bang on both livejournal and insanejournal. I especially recommend the takeoff on Harriet the Spy, and AnnieTalbot's "Rosemary" among the fics, and there's lots of great art - Sigune's shoes, and many others.

Disclaimers and Notes: Thanks to my sister and aubrem for their criticism and encouragemnt. i'm glad you both liked it so much! And, of course, thanks to J.K. Rowling for writing such thought provoking books. I am merely borrowing certain aspects of her world and one of her characters. (But Margaret, and the themes of this story, are my own. They are just not for profit.)

This is the third of a series of four stories detailing the relationship between Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape. It takes place on September 2, 1996, and is really more a vignette than a story (my sister tells me it comes across very well as the opening of a novel, but I don't know what will happen further on - I may continue if I get inspired!)

For now, it is about 4,100 words long. It is rated G, and the main characters are Dumbledore, Snape, and three Ravenclaw first years. The story follows the cut. This has not been beta read, except by my sister, so crit is welcome.

The Aftermath - freewriting (alternate title: the full moon)

This is a first draft of a Harry Potter fanfic - the first in a projected series of four stories about Severus Snape. The major focus of the stories is the relationship between Snape and Dumbledore, and I was inspired by several others in this community, particularly Jodel and Swythyv. The story is about 4,000 words long and is set in the Potterverse in June, 1975. (note: since the changes to the dates on the lexicon, I may have to make it June, 1974 - but I prefer the original dates and ages, and can't understand why Rowling had to make everyone a year older!) It's basically PG except for one expletive which I may remove - this is only a first draft. The story follows the cut:
