Recipient: novembersnow ♥
Prompt: Snape realizes the significance of his Patronus (can be canonical or non-canonical)
Word Count: 100 words
Rating: PG

The first time Severus successfully cast a corporeal Patronus, he was a twenty-six year old Master of Potions, and Professor at Hogwarts.

He had never been lonelier in his life.

Dumbledore had been teaching him to use the communication method Order members preferred, and when Severus finally accomplished the form, it was no surprise to him that it resembled Lily's own.

After nearly a half decade of self-imposed misery, Severus had been finally able to evoke a happy memory featuring Lily; an innocent, sun-tangled childhood scene, untainted by the tragedy of her death.

The irony was not lost on him.

♥ All this Snape/Lily from Snarry fen. O_o

Very nicely done AND you made it proper drabble. (Unlike some other people *cough* who have no concept of 'concise' *coughhack* :-P)

I heard that.

Hee! The FIRST part was you. The second was ME! I'll see your 600 and raise you 1000! :-P

Thank you!!

While I still balk at the idea that Snape was motivated through 20ish years of hell by unrequited love, you've made me see him... practicing his Patronus and pining. Bravo!

Re: The Silver Doe djin7 July 27 2009, 01:29:16 UTC

I don't think that of him, either, but I do think of him as lonely and obsessive, always clinging to the things he's lost. The reason for it being 'lost' is sometimes blurred for him as the years and the pain grow long. *nods* Thank you!

Re: The Silver Doe novembersnow July 26 2009, 14:23:32 UTC

Oh. Oh. *heart breaks*

This is so sad and beautiful. Wonderful job! ♥

Re: The Silver Doe djin7 July 27 2009, 01:29:45 UTC

You're welcome, love! Sorry, the prompt screamed angst to me. *g*

Re: The Silver Doe cordelia_v July 26 2009, 15:07:11 UTC

You make me realize all over again what a tragic woobie he is. Thank you.

Re: The Silver Doe djin7 July 27 2009, 01:30:21 UTC

He really, really was. Thank you!
