First of all, yep, I wanted to jump in quicker to start things off. Lol, when I get inspired, I get inspired. And yes, your right - if you're wondering why I gave her a middle name like Dawn, its because I created a character like Lily and her middle name was dawn. Your right, btw, I am American. I was born in the eighties, so, yeah.
And with the ice cream, I was thinking of how Lily is like - she's sweet, but a little tart, not to mention her hair color. And then there's Sev, whose a little dark, loves Lily who is his 'strawberry' or whatever. That's why I went with that flavor. I've never been to Britian, so I'm writing mostly on the things I know, which is mostly American - sorry.
It's true that Sev is 11 in body - even if he doesn't exactly realize it yet - sorry, should have put that part in, but I've been just going zip through it - perhaps I'll correct it when I finish the story, or chapters I'm working on. Unfortunately, like a well, when I stop is usually when I run out of inspiration. And you have to remember, that while Sev is 11-12 here, his mind is much older, at least at the moment. And they weren't exactly endorsing it - he just knew that Severus adored her.
And about the thing with Remus, Severus still has his memories from the first time he was at school. While that's the same, some things will be different, obviously. I must have forgotton that he said that, I figured that James would drag poor Lupin around with them, since he had the either fortunate or unfortunate chance of sitting with them. And as far as Pettigrew, I dunno how they became friends, but I dislike Pettigrew anyways.
No, Severus isn't going to invent wolfsbane - since he's made it for him in the past, he still has the recipe, but he's going to do it secretly, probably find one of the potions unused classrooms to brew it in. Of course, it's risky, but then he could always make up an excuse as to what he was brewing. Like, he saw a potion in a book he wanted to try his hand at.
