(( We all know the story of Professor Severus Snape, or at least you should if you are reading this. But what if one tiny thing was different, what if one event, or one person, came into his life? What if that one thing would change his life forever, and stop the things fated to happen to him from occurring? Would one thing be able to make his life better? Worse? Could it change the fate of others around him or change his views? Would it help him forget his past or think about his future? We are going to answer these questions by playing God, by taking his life and throwing in that one little, tiny thing. What is that thing you ask? A little creation of mine, named Candis Shadow Poisonblood. (deathlytoxicity./art/The-Deadly-Duo-88840843 for visuals) and (deathlytoxicity./journal/18781533/ for character sheet) They will show you some key events that have happened, as well as some memorable ones, with some surprising plot twists, bizarre facts, interesting new characters, and plenty of the satirical sarcastic humor you all know and love. ))
Chapter 1
A Pensieve Evening
Light footsteps echoed through the dark desolate dungeon corridor as a pair of black steal
toed combat boots walked lazily closer to Snape's office. They belonged to a youthful witch who
looked to be somewhere in her early thirties. She stood 5'8" tall, her heavy black eyeshadow
against her pallid skin giving her a rare sort of demonic beauty, elegant yet dark and mysterious.
She wore long black flowing robes that billowed behind her as she walked, under which she wore an
outfit of some kind of black and green leather. It was clear upon first glance that this was no
ordinary witch, the most notable sign being the 6ft long, whip like, black and neon green striped
serpentine tail that was dragging the ground behind her. It wasn't the result of exposure to radiation,
but rather an elected feature she chose to have seeing as how she was an animagus, and a
surprising species at that. She brushed her fingers
through her black choppy shoulder length hair, adjusting it so her bangs lay perfectly over the right
side of her face, and slipped through the door, but only after giving a dangerous smirk to a group of
second years that had wandered to close, all off whom quickly scattered.
Once inside, her cold black eyes scanned the room and quickly found Snape, her eyes just
as quickly changing to a deep blood red. He was bent over something in a back corner that was
emitting a soft glow, making his pale skin even more so. At first he took no notice of her, but as she
removed her robe and tossed it to a chair he looked up, his expression softening. "good evening
Candis" he said in a low silky voice. He motioned for her to approach the thing emitting the glow,
and as she drew nearer she instantly recognized it. It was a large stone bowl on a pedestal, etched
with runes and filled with a glowing silver substance, neither liquid nor gas. She had seen it only a
few times before, most notably when Snape had borrowed it to show her Max's memories in her 7th
year, it was Dumbledore's Pensieve.
Candis smirked and gave him a questioning look "Why do you have Dumbledore's
pensieve? Did someone tell you to show me their memories again? Because last time wasn't
very..pleasant" she said, her lip curling slightly.
"Ah, I remember that day..you actually let an amateur at legillimency.." Snape said but
was cut off by a glare from Candis. "you don't..know..the circumstances.." she hissed, eyes
narrowing.
Snape just smirked. "Well, that is what a pensieve is for is it not? To re-examine your memories?"
he asked smoothly, raising his eyebrows slightly as he did so. "Yes, your point?" Candis smirked
in return. "Personally I could think of no better way to spend a lazy afternoon than to take another
look at some of our memories together. If that is of no inconvenience to you of course" he said
softly as he had placed his wand to his temple, extracting a long silvery strand of memory and
letting it fall into the pensieve. "Shall we?" he asked with a grin. Candis's eyes darted from Snape to
the pensieve sceptically, then after a brief pause, she too grinned and nodded "Oh, we shall".
The next few minutes involved the two discussing which memories they should venture into.
There were many disagreements on this,because there were some memories one would want to
see but the other was determined not to. After a lot of bickering, a few glares, and a good amount of
sarcastic laughter and scoffing as well as the usual amount of smirks and sneering comments, they
had finally decided which they should use. "I see no reason why we need to see.." Snape groaned
in protest, only to be cut off yet again. "Shut it Severus" Candis snapped, though wearing a rare
smile "You got to choose that last memory so I don't want to hear any more complaining out of you.
Understood?" she smirked as she extracted several memories and placed them in the pensieve.
"Yes dear.." he grumbled, doing the same. Once all the memories were added to the glowing
swirling mass, the two leaned in closer, their noses almost touching the surface. They exchanged
grins, confirming they were ready and grabbed each others hands before letting themselves be
pulled into the pensive and into the first memory.
((And so it begins, the epic tale of love, hate, adventure, you know, all that jazz. Well, its not much, but there's the beginning of what will most likely big a large quantity of chapters. Each chapter will have a different memory from their past in it, some just Candis, some just Snape, most involving both, and all weaving together the story of a mysterious connection between the two that helps lead them down the path they follow and feel the things they do. So, I hope you enjoyed it, and i hope it captured your attention enough to make you want to read the next chapter or two, or ten or fifty i don't know. Comment if you wish, those are always great . Thanks for reading!))
