The Letter
Feb 13th 2003**
To Albus:
Due to recent circumstances I wish to return to a teaching position at Hogwarts. Since my ex position is currently occupied and you seem to go through Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers so quickly, I wish to try my wand at it. I would also hope that when Adora is of age that she can begin her education at Hogwarts as well.
Sincerely,
Severus Snape
**note: Here I will do the math to show what year the story takes place in. Countless "harry potter time line" shows that they start at Hogwarts at age 11, in 1992 (or about there somewhere) which means they (except maybe Crabbe and Goyle) graduate in 1999 at ages 17 or 18 depending on where their birthday falls. I am assuming that Hermione is 18.
We know that Ginny and Harry have been married 9 years. This means that Harry married Ginny when he was 19 and she was 18.
Snape could have been married for 10 years if his wife hadn't died 1 years after their child was born. Adora is 6 and Snape's only child.
Since 2003 is the year for the "unfortunate circumstances" assume that Hermione is dead, Adora is 1 and 5 years down the road makes it 2007! (remember Adora said that "Christmas is coming" so it hasn't been exactly 5 years.)
All this means that Hermione was about 20 when baby Adora was born. I assume there's about 25 years between Snape and Hermione, so he was 45 and now is about 50.
Hope you enjoyed my crooked math. Please review it and correct me if I'm wrong on anything.
