Fanfiction Friday #19

A couple of weeks ago in MiM world, there were rumors that Headmaster Snape was dating Professor Sinistra. So people started talking about SS/AS fanfics, and it eventually came to someone writing a fic based on him and Sinistra, including real events that happened the night that the Headmaster got drunk. It's called All Girls Love Severus Snape.

It's technically Snape/Sinistra, but there's also weird things about Snape having adopted Draco and Harry, and he also has a daughter and the Godfather is Lupin. Just disregard those parts if they're confusing.

And it's pretty much just humor, anyway. You probably wouldn't understand it if you don't follow MiM. Oh, and I'm mentioned! ^_^

The Vanishing Cabinets' connection went awry, and instead you come to this link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7095312/1/All_Girls_Love_Severus_Snape

Snape Quote of the Week #18

  "You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potion-making," he began . He spoke in barely more than a whisper, but they caught every word--like Professor McGonagall, Snape had the gift of keeping a class silent without effort. "As there is little foolish wand-waving here, many of you will hardly believe this is magic. I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses.... I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death--if you aren't as big a bunch of dunderheads as I usually have to teach."
~The Philosopher's Stone, Ch. 8 "The Potions Master"

I thought I'd give you the very first time we see Snape. It's so easy to imagine his voice here... It gives you chills, doesn't it? I melt into a puddle every time I read or watch this scene. Ensnaring the senses, indeed...

Everyone has had that one horribly mean teacher... But for every hundred students that hate that teacher, there's one girl (or guy, I don't judge) that has a massive crush on him for an unexplainable reason. That girl would have been me. Just by this speech, I'm sure that I would love Potions class. And I'd be like Hermione--ready to prove that I wasn't a dunderhead. But I'm not show-offy person. Plus, I'm sure I'd be a Slytherin, so he'd have another reason not to be a jerk to me.

And you know what's weird? I used to use the insult "dunderhead" all the time. Way before I knew what Harry Potter was. I feel awesome.

Snape Insults YOU #18

Snape Insults All Snakes

Yes, I do realize that snakes symbolize my House. And I'm are that my own name is similar to the word 'snake.' But in case you are not aware, snakes have literally ruined my life. The Dark Mark burnt into my skin bears a snake--and I absolutely hate it. I wish I never had it, and I wish it was gone. Then, a bloody huge snake nearly ate the boy I was supposed to protect... What was I supposed to do if Potter had ended up as a tasty snack? My life would have been meaningless then. And everything I did nearly became worthless when the Dark Lord's snake KILLED ME. I will have nothing to do with such creatures, as they all seem to hate me. 5000 points from Slytherin.

Snape Video of the Week #18

NEW Deathly Hallows Part 2 Trailer OMG

I don't see why you wouldn't have seen this yet, but I have to post this and give my full analysis of it.

Okay, so I know a lot of people are going to disagree with me on this one, but I think Geraldine Somerville makes a perfect Lily. She just... has that Lily air, you know? Anyway, the baby Harry there looks nothing like the kid that played him in the first movie. I know he's like 10 now, but still. Speaking of which, I want to see what that kid looks like now. I wonder if he looks anything like Harry Potter. Maybe if they ever remake all the Harry Potter movies, he can play Harry then.

But I want to know if Lily's saying "Be safe, be strong" right before Voldemort comes, or if that's just a random time long before they were killed. Maybe it's part of the Prince's Tale? I hope not.

So then they go for the flashbacks, which I think was a good touch. You go back to seeing when he was just innocent little Harry getting his first wand, seeing Sirius Black, going with Dumbledore to get the Horcrux, and it's all with Voldemort's creepy voice in the background. Chilling.

And when they have the shot from the Half-Blood Prince where they're flying into the Quidditch pitch and then they switch to when it's on fire- Epic. And pretty clever. Even though nothing was ever said to be on fire in the book, I can tell it's going to be for the better.

Then Harry's panting while sitting against a wall, and I don't know what's up with that. Maybe he's just seen Snape's memories, and knows he has to die. Or maybe he's grieving over everyone else that's died. Or it could just be a break from running from bad guys.

Then Voldemort's face up close so we see his eye- and it's totally wrong! His eyes are supposed to have red slits for pupils! Aargh- damn you, Warner Brothers.

And Voldie from Goblet of Fire, and Death Eater SLICE. Actually, that's probably from OotP. Whatever.

Then zoom in to a river, see Snape's face, Dementor's hand, Titanic Voldemort going NYAAAAHHH, Gregorovitch backing up, everything in the Room of Requirement on FIRE, Harry in a car (I think?), and Voldemort shooting light from the Elder wand that he just stole from Dumbledore, who is for some reason on an island in the middle of the lake.

Dementors flying near the castle, lots of fog, and FINALLY SOMETHING IMPORTANT:

"You've kept him alive so he can die at the proper moment?" YES, I'm so glad they kept that in, and also that we got to see a snippet of the Prince's Tale in the trailer.

And Voldie tells Lucius to bring Harry Potter to him, and he looks pissed off. Like, more than usual.

Then riding down the cart in Gringotts really fast (which is sort of dangerous), but they don't look very worried for their lives... I guess that's because they're Gryffindors.

EPIC dragon roaring... I want that dragon. And I also feel really sorry for it, because it has to endure pain a lot. But then it looks like their cart is falling off an edge... I think.

*Take a moment to hyperventilate and sweat a lot* Ron says "We can end this," looking sexy.

Now when the dragon is flying, you can totally see a town underneath them. How do those people not notice a dragon?! And you know, jumping off a dragon into water isn't as easy as it looks. The impact can hurt.

Army of Death Eaters looking awesome, stone knights getting into position and looking AWESOME, McGonagall actually playing a major part, being awesome. And Molly Weasley's just standing there, looking badass. Draco hiding behind a pillar, about to change sides and change sides again. Two-faced bastard... Ah who cares, he's sexy.

And then it says "It ends," and I'm going to pause here and yell at the screen. No, it does not end! The movies are finished, but IT WILL NEVER END. Do you understand that, Warner Brothers? NEVER.

Then Hermione and Ron are looking injured, and Harry's staring at the sky. And Harry's voice saying "I have to go back, haven't I?" And I don't know why they're overlapping that clip and quote, because the quote is from the King's Cross scene.

Lupin and Tonks... God, they have to be my favorite canon couple, besides Snape and Lily. And I hate it when people say Snape/Lily isn't canon, because he loved her, didn't he? They were best friends for years! I refuse to believe she never thought of him as more than a friend, so it pretty much is canon. But anyway, I love Tonks and Lupin together. It's just so sweet. My third favorite would have to be Ron/Hermione, and then Lucius/Narcissa.

Once again, Voldie going NYAAAAAHHHHHHH! And then a huge light makes a bubble or something, and Bellatrix looks just as confused as I am. Wtf is this?!

And when Ginny stares up into the sky, that seems very similar to this one deleted scene from HBP that I saw...

Flitwick, forcefeild dissolving, Come to die, people shooting blue lights at the castle (Once again, wtf?), more stuff on fire, giants with clubs running down a mountain, running from Fiendfyre, and Lucius turning around, evidently seeing something that shocks him.

OMG Giant spiders- Ron's gonna wet his pants,Voldemort surrounded by black ribbons or something (I really have no idea), Snape disapparating like "Snape out, bitches" and Harry confronting Snape...?

No, dammit, they can't do that! Ugh, they just mess up everything, don't they? So Harry yells at Snape, and Snape doesn't do anything? That's a plot hole, because Snape would have found a way to get Harry alone and tell him everything if that actually did happen. And why the hell is Harry wearing his school robes?

NYAAAAAAHHHHHHH again while Voldie looks sort of constipated, Molly crying, Ron crying, Hermione crying (I'm guessing that's when Fred dies), and Harry's voiceover saying "I never wanted any of you to die for me."

Flying out of the Room of Requirement because it's on FIRE- and I really hope Draco's holding onto Harry really tightly like he did in the book. Yes, I am a Drarry fan. Deal with it.

Time to cry, because then it's the Resurrection Stone scene... *sniffle* I love how they work in Lily's "always."

And finally Voldemort casts a spell without saying NYAAAAAHHHH, but it's at Neville (Oh no! :( ), and Ginny runs forward screaming, probably because she saw Harry dead, MORE SPIDERS (and Ron actually does look like he's peeing his pants here), Harry looks left, faces come out of the fire, DOORS CLOSE.

Harry pulls Voldie into the ditch, and he goes NYAAAHHHH, random Death Eater flying through the castle, Voldie and Harry start to battle, Slughorn does something that probably doesn't matter, FIRE SNAKE, Ginny about to kiss Harry, Bellatrix shooting a curse and looking badass, bridge catching on fire, people evaporating into blue lights (maybe), typhoon of water, people running from a huge blue light, force of the light engulfs everything...

And Molly pulls a green light back into her wand, which is her cursing Bellatrix in reverse, stone soldiers marching, more random light,and then Voldemort and Harry crawl in slow motion to get their wands. Voldie's doing that weird thing with his mouth... I'm really not sure what it is.

Lightning, dragon, curse, force field, twinkling, someone flying backward, and more fire snakes!

Then logo, and theme music.

I siriusly can't believe I just did all that. But it's awesome that I did, right?

Weekly Snape-ly Event #18

If you follow Mugglenet, you'll know that the Harry Potter World Cup Tournament is happening. It's basically voting for your favorite character, but Tournament style.

You can vote for the first round here.

This is actually sort of stupid, because they're posting the awesome characters with stupid characters. I mean, Harry and Quirrell? Come on, do they think Quirrell has even a sliver of a chance of winning? Spoilers have told me that Snape will be paired with Crabbe for voting. Siriusly? Even Snape-haters wouldn't vote for Crabbe over him, because Crabbe sucks. We all know that Snape will ultimately win, and I know you guys will make sure of that.

Snape Picture of the Week #18

This week's picture goes along with a story, and that story is within this story:

The other night in MiM world, I was on Severus's page (as usual) and he had gotten drunk from drinking too much firewhiskey at the pool party and wedding. So me and my friends were hanging out with him in his office, and he decided to tell us this story:

"This tale takes place in Texas. I was wearing a cowboy hat and boots at the time...
On second thought, I don't want to tell it. It's too incriminating. Lucius would die of humiliation if he ever found out that I shared our little story with Fangirls.
Well, little known fact about me: I enjoy driving Muggle automobiles from time to time. Another little known fact: They're difficult to drive in the dark.
So we were driving along a rural road in San Antonio Texas late one night, and Lucius suddenly yelled at me to pull over... He wanted to steal a stop sign. The Dark Lord values trophies of mischief from the Muggle world.
So, I pulled the car over, and Lucius got out. He then climbed onto the roof, but it wasn't quite close enough to reach the sign. So I backed the car up, and then attempted to move closer. But I misjudged where the road ended and the ditch began. The whole car fell in.
Unfortunately, the ditch was full of rattlesnakes. You might ask why we didn't just raise the windows. Well, the air conditioning in the car was broken, and it was summertime in Texas! We had to make the choice between being eaten by rattlesnakes or suffocating in the heat! Scary, isn’t it?
So we took out our wands and fought our way out. Then we levitated the car out of the ditch. But it had a flat tire, and we weren't certain how to fix it. Eventually we were rescued by a tow truck driver. He charged us $27USD, and laughed at us for not knowing how to change a tire.
Unfortunately, we never did get the sign."

And here's the picture I drew the next day to go along with it:

Well, he passed out almost immediately after telling the story, and my friends and I stayed with him to protect his unconscious body from anyone that might have snuck out of bed. I ended up kissing him on the cheek and then falling asleep on him. He was not very happy in the morning. But he loved my picture.

Snape Products You Should Totally Buy #4

If you don't own one, you'll definitely want one. A Snape action figure. Now, I've noticed that there's a huge variety of Snape figures... Some of them are better quality than others, some look exactly like Alan Rickman while others don't, and some of them are stuck in one position while others can move their arms and legs. I'd really like one that can move his arms and legs, because they're so freaking adorable.

They also range in prices, the collectibles being more expensive. There's tons of websites that sell them, but Amazon's a good place, so I'll just link to there.

And if, for some reason, you didn't know that there were Snape action figures, here's a picture:

Sadly, his robes don't actually billow.
