Beta'd by Ravyn Stormwatcher. I love you so über much and I promise to not be so violent.
Without further ado, read and enjoy (hopefully).
G's
Severus cast a long look down his nose to the paper clutched in his hand. The properties of moonstone and it's uses in potion-making.
It was pathetic. Does Potter honestly think he'll pass my class with pitiful attempts at writing like this? Weasley started his essay with this worthless sentence too and he hardly scraped a P. They probably wrote this essay together, combining their idiotic knowledge of knowing useless facts and birthed these horrid papers. He loaded up a fresh quill with ink, ready to draw the P on the corner of the paper when he took another look at the handwriting in the first sentence. G.
The G - his G - was exactly the same. Their G's were identical.
Snape instantly forgot his quill, the bad grade begging to be written on Potter's paper, and he instead scanned the paper, analyzing the handwriting for anything that might look like Lily wrote it.
Once over, and again. Severus only saw the handwriting; only saw the familiar looking G. The G Lily would write in a letter from summer vacation, hours after they had just been together by the park. The G he would look at when she asked for help on Slughorn's homework. The G he had missed when she died.
He welled up, but he didn't cry. He didn't get angry.
Severus drew a large spiky D in the corner of Harry Potter's paper.
Oh jeezus! That was scary. I really, really hope you all like it! Reviews are like my drugs - happy-making drugs!
