Description
"Taking a deep breath and digging up every bit of courage she possessed, Hermione slid over those last two inches. As her shoulder touched his, Snape's entire body went rigid."Granger . . ." There was a wealth of warning in his voice.
"You're cold." As if to underscore her words, a hard shiver ran though them both.
His head came up to lean back again the wall. "You can feel . . ." he trailed off before muttering softly, "Of course you can, because I'm not allowed even that bit of privacy." More loudly he said, "My apologies. Our Affinity makes it hard to prevent bleedthrough, and I have been unable to follow my . . . normal routine." He took a deep breath and the chill lessened. "You may leave now."
Where Angels fear to tread. "Stop it," she said softly and then taking the biggest risk of her life, she reached out to grasp one of his pale hands. Lacing her fingers through his, she used her other hand to lightly chafe the back of his hand. "I can't give you whatever your normal routine is, but I do know that cutting off the bleedthrough isn't the same as fixing the problem." She gave his hand a squeeze. This will fix it."
He used her own intonation back at her. "This is highly inappropriate."
It might have been inappropriate, but she noticed that he hadn't pulled away from her. At least not yet.
"You asked why I'm a Gryffindor." She chuckled softly. "Maybe it's because no one else would be thisβ"
"Foolish."
She shrugged against him. "I was going for daring.""
As promised, the favorite scene from the lovely ~caeria 's fanfic, Pet Project (Ch. 32: Inappropriate )
I have the very beginnings of a colored version of this (I have blocked out the color shapes, but nothing more) but I'm mega-fail at coloring. Anyone got some good tips or mad skillz? Also, I apologize for making Severus' hair so luxurious. T_T
(I def-def-deeeeefinitely need to stop uploading to the Pet Project group so much. I feel like I'm spamming up the place with my craziness. >>; )

Please don't stop spamming us!! D: I'd be heartbroken if you did. I really like this though, except for the jowls like Janach pointed out. ^^ Otherwise, it's really good.

Bah. xD
I keep wanting to illustrate every chapter (like I think another member started to do) but then my art would be overwhelming in the group gallery! ._. I might still take it on as a personal project though.. Any request for another scene you particularly like? :'D

Can I request one? It's not really a Hermione/Severus scene - or at least not a happy one, but I'd love to see it done. This one from Ch 20 where Rink grabs Hermione and pops her off to Snape who is lying in the doorway of Grimmauld Place with the rain coming in the door and a little knot of elves standing around him.
She did sit up in alarm though when she caught sight of the terrified look on Rink's face. His large, bat-like ears, usually upright and forward, were laid back against his skull, much like Crookshanks' did when the tomcat was particularly angry.
"Ri-"
She never finished the word as Rink grabbed hold of her hand and they vanished.
"-nk"
She had one brief moment of disorientation as her brain caught up with the fact that she was standing downstairs in the foyer. The massive wood door to the Black house was standing open with what looked to be the Black house complement of house-elves standing in a ring in the doorway.
"Rink? What's going on?" she asked in confusion.
Rink tugged her closer to the group of elves and they parted before her. Across the threshold, in a slowly widening red-tinged puddle of rainwater, lay the crumpled form of Professor Snape.

Oooh yeah! There would be some very interesting emotions I could portray in both of those. Okay. I have a list now. xD

Naw, keep up the spamming. It's great.
I love the way Snape's trousers scrunch around his ankles. And Hermione's grim determination. In fact, I like almost everything about this drawing, except Snape's jowls. I know it's partly his facial expression (his chin is compressed because he's scowling), but our Sev is too young to have great broad jowls. (To be said with a rueful smile.)
And his hair is NOT too luxurious. It could be stringier, but it's not unbelievable.

Bahaha. Yes I rather like his trousers as well. I see what you mean about his jowls now. I was going for more of an Alan Rickman Snape than a JKR Snape, and I forget Rickman as an actor is much older than Snape is supposed to be. But alas. If and when I color it, I will definitely fix that for you. :3

I wrote something about Rickman's jowls in my original comment, but edited it out because I didn't want the wrath of Rickman fans descending upon me. Having a 65-year-old actor play a 21-year-old Snape in the final film was a bit awkward, but I'm used to that sort of thing: I'm an opera fan! I have plenty of practice pretending a sixty-year-old tenor is a seventeen-year-old Siegfried. It helps if you don't use opera glasses. And when you have Alan Rickman on payroll, you do NOT give your juciest emotional scenes (the flashbacks) to some unknown actor in his twenties.

I think Alan Rickman is quite good looking. And even in scenes that weren't flashbacks, when Snape is supposed to be his usual 38-year-old self, he still looks fairly young. In the scene where Snape confesses he's held onto his love for the dead Lily Potter in DH Part 2, where he's so full of raw emotion, I thought he actually looked younger than he should. But maybe this is my warped memory projecting what I want to believe. :]

Oh yes, Rickman is good-looking at any age. It's only in the scenes when he's supposed to be twenty-one that I needed to use the imaginative skills I've honed on attending four Seattle Opera productions of Wagner's "Ring." The reason you need a fifty-year-old Siegfried is that's the only way to get the singing chops for the role. Likewise, you want Alan Rickman's mature acting chops for Severus mourning Lily.
