Here's my second story! It's going to be consisting of short chapters, but I already have about 30something planned out. Each chapter is going to be a letter a HP character wrote, but never sent. I'm also putting them in chronological order. It is going to be all letters, but more like a series of drabbles.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, settings, or anything else except the words I put together in this story. It all belongs to Jo Rowling. I'm not making a profit off of this, but hopefully just giving some people some enjoyment!
To: Lily Evans
Hi. You don't know me, but my name is Severus Snape. I live down on Spinner's End. You might have seen me at the park before, but maybe not, because I don't really go there much. I'm the boy about your age with the long black hair. I know your name because I heard your sister yelling at you one time and calling you 'Lily'. It was because you were making some rocks dance in a circle. You can do that because you're a witch. And I'm a wizard. We're going to go to Hogwarts when we're 11. Has anyone told you about Hogwarts? I bet not, since you're a Muggleborn. Hogwarts is a school for witchcraft and wizardry. My mum went there, but not my dad. It's supposed to be the greatest place in the world. I don't know any other witches or wizards my age, though. If you want to, I can tell you all about Hogwarts and the wizarding world. Just write back and put the letter on my doorstep. It's the white house with the green windowpanes down the street. Don't ring the doorbell.
From,
Severus Snape
The nine year old writer of the letter was walking down a street with the note in his right hand. He hadn't told his parents he was going out, but they probably wouldn't even notice.
He continued wandering down the road until he reached a small, two-story house with a red door and blue shutters. Severus was standing in front of the house's black mailbox and about to open it when a voice spoke to him.
"Good morning!" Severus looked up startled.
There was a woman in the front yard tending to her garden. She had been bending over her flowers before, but now she was standing and smiling at the black haired boy stationed in front of her house. She was a pretty, middle-aged mother with bright green eyes and a giant sun hat covering her blonde hair.
Severus froze. He hadn't been expecting to run into anyone.
"Is there something I can help you with, dear?" The way she said it surprised Severus. No one ever called him 'dear', especially not strangers. The little boy flushed.
"N-no," said Severus, "Just passing by."
The woman looked at him curiously, but not rudely. "Okay, sweetie." Then she turned back to the colorful plants behind her.
Severus started walking away. Giving the girl a letter was a dumb idea, he concluded.
As he left the front of the house, he heard someone cry out, "Mummy! Look what I drew!" Severus turned around and saw the redhead girl the letter was addressed to.
Seeing her made him want to talk to her all the more, but he couldn't bring himself to turn back and give the young witch the letter.
He would just have to find another way to talk to Lily.
So what'cha think? Review please! This chapter is kinda bleh :P but trust me, they get more interesting. at least, I think so. example: Snape to Lily after the mudblood incident, Snape to James after James and Lily start dating, Sirius to James while he's in Azkaban, Neville to his parents during 5th year, etc.
As I said earlier, I'm doing it in chronological order and I have about thirty ideas planned out, but if you have any specific people/letters/situations, feel free to comment and give your suggestions!
