Description Studying for their OWLS.
My apologies. I was thinking only about what was in James' and in Lily's minds.
In the end I felt just so badly for Severus

Why apologies? I like the composition, and again, Snape is especially good - even his hair looks sad! I think Lily looks really pretty too.

Thanks a lot. Apologies are for Severus. He broke my heart, while I was painting him... I mean, he's really a poor guy on the lose...

Aww, poor Sev. Your Lily is so pretty, no wonder he is smitten. They are so tragic but ultimately I am glad that Lily ended up with James.

I agree with you.


well, especially because if she had ended up with Snape, there wouldn't have been books, lol XD

Or maybe, a Harry with a big hooked nose, but, hum...

PeriwinklePaisley In reply to Vizen [2008-08-25 11:49:26 +0000 UTC]

Plus I think that Severus would've been the possesive jealous type of boyfriend. I don't think it would've lasted had they actually gotten together. Still, I think he should've kissed her at least once. I've always said that.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Vizen In reply to PeriwinklePaisley [2008-08-25 17:11:00 +0000 UTC]

You mean, according to the books? IMO...I think not. Unfortunately...
- Rowling wouldn't let him touch dear Harry's respectable mother. Even for a poor little kiss.
- Young Severus seems really shy with Lily, and Lily doesn't look like a really really tender and easy girl.
- Severus' love is really pure, coming from chidhood. Of course, when they are teens, Lily begins to blush and so on, but the main part of Severus' love doesn't require anything sexual

But, anyway, I don't care and we can imagine a love affair... Lily wanted to break up, James wanted a revenge and it happens with the 'Mudblood' thing...

And I totally agree with you - it wouldn't have lasted! He's possessive, and they both are strong-tempered, and Severus isn't very the good boy type, and Lily wants a solid and do-gooder husband, etc. *life is life*

PeriwinklePaisley In reply to Vizen [2008-08-26 14:45:40 +0000 UTC]

The way I imagine it is that Severus kisses her is on cloud nine; then a day or two after he's humiliated by the Marauders and calls Lily mudblood. Then for SURE he knows that he's screwed up to a point of no return. If ever a man needed to be kissed, or more...
Well, I would've volunteered any way lol!

Vizen In reply to PeriwinklePaisley [2008-08-26 16:38:02 +0000 UTC]

oh really ???

I wonder - now I love the guy, but if I were Lily then, when 15-16, maybe I would have been crueler. Maybe I wouldn't have accepted such a bizarre overdemanding lover (or such a shy boyfriend, hum.).

I think your idea is really interesting. Yeah, he could have such a foolish moment. It even made me create a poll, lol.

PeriwinklePaisley In reply to Vizen [2008-08-26 23:44:15 +0000 UTC]

Wow! Cool poll. Now what I really wanted to know though was did Severus :ahem: "kiss" anybody else or did he remain pure? That's an interesting question. I think he must have. Unrequited love :::sigh:::

Vizen In reply to PeriwinklePaisley [2008-08-27 00:44:13 +0000 UTC]

You want me to do another crazy poll ???

For Rowling... Maybe he remains pure.
?? We must ask her, sure. (the first question I would have for her XD )
For me, clearly love and relationships aren't the same business. And those Death Eaters are bad boys, you know...

PeriwinklePaisley In reply to Vizen [2008-08-27 01:05:23 +0000 UTC]

They are pretty bad but then there is the whole pureblood thing and some of those Death Eaters were just icky. Like Amycus Carrow or Wormtail--EW who'd be with them?

We don't have a clear view about his relations with the Black sisters for example... And after all, they can have some sex with other people than DE.

Vizen In reply to dreaming-sarana [2008-08-19 09:31:51 +0000 UTC]

Thank you !!!! I do apology for Severus - I'm sure he didn't like being such a poor boy during his schooling. No wonder he wanted to become a powerful wizard and a cruel teacher.

In fanarts our young Severus most often looks like a true (charming) dark prince - but he was only a weak teen boy and it's a little difficult to accept ( I mean, I broke my own heart with it, lol).

dreaming-sarana In reply to Vizen [2008-08-19 09:45:43 +0000 UTC]

You're right, if Severus would have been a prince charming with a lot of self-confidence he woulnd't have become what he was in the end.

Vizen In reply to dreaming-sarana [2008-08-19 10:10:10 +0000 UTC]

Some of Snape-lovers were very hurt by this love for Lily in the 7th book. I think it was mostly because of that : Severus was such a powerful and charismatic character and by contrat an unrequired love seems so pathetic - it hurts to think about it... Well, it's the same about the Doe, you know... A ridiculous little DOE for a strong dark Death Eater ???...For myself I totally supports Rowling here. The contrast between the teen and the adult and between his heart and his appearance are really logical and appropriate for me.

dreaming-sarana In reply to Vizen [2008-08-19 20:12:59 +0000 UTC]

I support Rowling to. This contrast makes Snape one of the most interesting characters. And it makes him more human

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Vizen In reply to dreaming-sarana [2008-09-07 19:30:51 +0000 UTC]

And inwardly it was a bane during his whole life. Certainly the teen/ young adult thought his love was such a ridiculous and shameful weakness - but here Rowling's lesson -in my opinion- is right : without this 'weakness' he would have been only a Death Eater, he would have been totally selfish and would have lived like Voldemort, just for the power and himself. In this weakness he was stronger than all the others - and here I argued more and more with the other Snape-fangirls, about the Doe and his pathetic love...aaah - Poor Severus. Even his fangirls can't stand his secret

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

dreaming-sarana In reply to Vizen [2008-09-07 19:51:41 +0000 UTC]

Yes even the fangirls don't understand him truly. And I totally agree with you his weakness is the best think he had all his live Without it he would have been the empty shell with no other feelings than hatred and loathing that everyone claimed him to be.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Vizen In reply to dreaming-sarana [2008-09-07 20:47:35 +0000 UTC]

Yes! And it's the same with his physical appearance - if he looked attractive, he would have been a totally other man!

It's difficult for me too to draw him unattractive - it's not natural, it's not easy to make him ugly and I can't do it comfortably. And I understand this pleasure we have, in front of a beautiful fanart in which he's handsome and just a Charming Prince...But it's WRONG!!!

dreaming-sarana In reply to Vizen [2008-09-08 07:37:45 +0000 UTC]

It's strange how hard it is to makes something or someone you like ugly on purpose, and I have pleasure too when I look at a beautiful fanart put you are right it's wrong.
