Description Severus doing some secretive little night-time reading in the Slytherin commons, the giant squid is attracted to the light of his wand and decides to take a peek.

For the window I used =Cat-in-the-Stock 's wonderful window stock which can be found here , and I should also note that this was sort of inspired by ~LautnerLuver 's orange octopus , though this is obviously supposed to be a squid.

if I were there, it would've gone something like this:
me: hey sev?
snape: what?
me: I-I'm getting the feeling that we're being watched...
snape: *shrugs* you're just paranoyed!
me: gimme your wand! *takes lit want*
snape: HEY!!!!!!
me: *looks behind us* S-S-S-SQUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GIANT SQUID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *hides behind snape*
snape: why are you scared? it's just a squid!
me: *sigh!* I-I was attacked by a squid when I was 6, *shows snape sucker scars on legs* soI've had this fear ever since!

Bwahahaha! I suppose I would not have managed to stay calm, either. Also, I wouldn't like to sleep in a room with windows this thing might look into, either.

Oh, he tucked his lit wand behind his ear to shine the light and leave both hands free! That's so smart! (I would clearly make a terrible wizard )

LadyMothwing In reply to izkaiba [2010-09-24 22:57:11 +0000 UTC]

Well, I doubt this would work because he'd end up being blinded by his own spell, but I decided that because it's magic light it's got magic, non-blinding qualities also.

Yeah, that wand is maybe a little bright. It's also handy that it's not blinding him in spite of being that close to his face, errr .
Thank you!

Wow! The light is amazing, and you did a great job on the squid's eye.

The Slytherin common room has never really attracted me, but if it has a window to see the giant squid, then its that much more awesome.

LadyMothwing In reply to UtterlyDifferent [2010-03-27 18:33:27 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!

Isn't it? Although I do wonder about the windows to the dorms- I wouldn't get to sleep if I always expected the squid to look in on me while I was sleeping!

Yeah, that is kinda creepy. But I guess you'd get used to it after a while...

LadyMothwing In reply to UtterlyDifferent [2010-03-28 12:16:12 +0000 UTC]

To the squid, sure, but I'm not so certain I'd like to get used to random merpeople, students going diving to look at the sea creatures in the lake, students trying to catch a peek of their Head of House in his birthday suit, etc.

UtterlyDifferent In reply to LadyMothwing [2010-03-29 02:18:02 +0000 UTC]

Somehow, I don't think the Slytherins would want to catch either Slughorn or Snape in their birthday suits.

Hm, probably. Slytherin OCs, on the other hand.

calicogoat [2010-03-22 03:46:00 +0000 UTC]

I bet Snape would rather eat those socks than admit to pulling a Lovegood with the wand behind his ear. This is lovely, especially the lighting!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

LadyMothwing In reply to calicogoat [2010-03-27 18:32:54 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I doubt that he'd admit that - I wonder whether Minerva knows, though - she'd probably make a point of reminding him whenever he gets tempted to poke fun at Luna for similar things.
Thanks a lot!

this really is lovely, how you've framed the squid in the windows, and snape's just reading peacefully, either unaware or completely content with his observer.
