A Harry Potter fic...

Pairing: Severus/Female OC, Harry/Ginny, missed Snarry
Warnings: Typos. No beta. Implied het sex. Mild prostitution.
Disclaimer: This is just fanfiction, non-profit and just for fun.
Notes: I actually did research for this short little thing. Yes, I think that's amazing, too. Mostly, though, I just pulled out names from home and was pleasantly pleased to find their London equivalents perfect for the scenario. Also, if I cared enough, I'll probably write some more, with some actual Snarry and more explicit backstory. But, yeah...

A Harry Potter fic...

Title: The White Door
Author: babygray
Pairing: Snape/Harry
Warnings: Typos. No beta. Pretty long for a ficlet, too. And no real explanation, either (no time, I say).
Disclaimer: This is just fanfiction, non-profit and just for fun.
Notes: Just for fun, I went to TV Tropes, hit the random button, and wrote something based on whatever I got, which ended up being 'cool gate' and 'Go Nagai sideburns'. You should try it, but be warned. TV Tropes have been known to ruin people's lives. It's that addictive.
Word Count: 1067
Summary: Harry opens a door in the middle of the woods.

( Yes, this is the place. )

Here was some odd thoughts that cross my mind lately concerning Harry Potter:

1. Harry the Chav
It's an odd thought, really, thinking about the idea that Harry could turn chav in his 20's. I would hope not. What's more, if anyone turns chav, it would probably be Dudley. ('Turn chav'... Great phrase, there.) But, as far as I can see, in the realm of fanfiction, chav!Harry hasn't appeared anywhere. Maybe it's about time. (God only knows how much it would distract from all the emo!dark!'cutting'causeit'stheonlythingthatfeelsreal'!Harry that is all over FFN.)

2. Ginny should Die
And not just because I'm a fan of the Snarry. (Though her death would clear a few roads later...) My reasoning is this: If Ginny is Harry's Lily (like what's-her-face keeps hinting), then she should die protecting Harry, just like Lily. And if Ginny isn't Harry's Lily but instead Harry's Peter (like some (bitter?) trio shipper wrote at the HP Lexicon [LINK]), then she should die for (eventually) betraying Harry. And if she's neither of these two things (which I doubt), then she can live... I guess... just as long as she doesn't get paired up with Harry again. (I didn't like it the first time, and not just because of the Snarry.)

3. Where's Snape?
The latest, long preview of the new movie has him nowhere in sight (expect for that Gainax-esque flashing of all the characters in the beginning bit...) He's not in any of the posters, either! Is it because he's so gray? Or because their focus is on the DA and the DE.

(Ooh! At my local theater, they have a picture machine set up where you can pose with the characters (via the magic of a blue screen.) I have half a mind to do it... if only to pretend I'm sticking my tongue into Hermione's ear as she stares to the side in worry. ... Not a good idea?)

And finally...
4. Bruce Springsteen
His greatest hits collection has a few songs in it that could fit Harry Potter movie videos very well. 'Hungry Heart'... 'Human Touch'... I have a few plans for the last lines of 'This Hard Land'. In fact, if I had more talent, and patience, and determination, I would work on a music video based on 'Dancing in the Dark'. Of course it would be Snarry. ... What?

Prenote: The following is prose/poetry fanfiction based on Harry Potter, which belongs to JKR, Warner, and others. It's post-HBP, rough, and Snarry. Fancy punctuation away!

And then they kiss, under the light of the Dark God's moon, their stained hands making entreaties as they roam over marred skin. Their sullied feet pressed against a sullied orb, their steps rushed and in pain as they run.

And oh, they run. Apart, together, they run. Like fallen men and little boys that have lost their gleaming way too soon. Always too soon.

And the Saviour's Fire burns blue-white, burning his own unforgiving mark on the spider's skin. But it is too hot, too fresh. Too young and destined to burn out too quickly. The dark passages of the mind pull the heat in. The blue fire burns away.

And the framents of souls, scattered by madmen, flicker out of reach in the receeding light. Who but children may take them? Why but children may?

And there, in the green shadows, lies the Light God, the judgement maker. Away with fire he is gone, bearing with him his standard and his staff. And now the world burns red with vengence flame. Blue with unforgiving Saviour's Fire. Black.

The War's Blood Moon is set high, by their hands. And the fallen man must fight. And the little boy too.

And the saviour shall burn.

Postnote: What was I thinking? The line: 'The Light of the Dark God's Moon'. That begat everything here. The Snarry is just extra cream. Special mention goes to snapesforte. I was listening to an interview with her on Snapecast, and she was talking about her 'Snape=spider' theory. Guess you can read up on that at her site: [Link]

There's a paranda song called 'Paranda de Sopon' that I've been enjoying lately. The story the song tells is a simple one: At two o'clock in the morning, the singers ate some great ckicken soup (the sopon), only to develop terrible stomach aches at dawn. The chicken was taken from the yard, killed, cooked up, and eaten by everyone at the party, and not a bone was left. The rooster, awaken by the noise, couldn't believe his eyes and went crazy, but by dawn he was a widower. The singers end be claiming the upset stomachs was a results of a curse the rooster cast on them, noting the fact that the rooster was laughing.

The lyrics (in Spanish, mind you), can be found here: http://www.prfrogui.com/home/PARRANDA%20SOPON.htm

Now... why am I posting this here? Well, on the way home, I thought I had a great idea for a story based on this song... something utterly Snarry. But, now that I sat down for the first time all day (pretty much), I somehow don't think it's as great an idea as I did just a half-hour ago. The hen would be Harry, but who would he be slaughtered and 'eaten' by? Death Eaters? Too much violent sexual context for me.

The wizarding world? While that is completely within canon (he's already on the way to the sacrificial altar for them), why would Snape want to curse the public because of it? The rooster is not a part of the party; he's an outsider. Snape, though on the fringes, can't be as Other as the rooster, and I can't see him cursing the world. The Death Eaters, sure, but that takes back the sexual violence route, and I just can't do that.

That said, I thought this dud of an idea here, because I sure as hell won't use it.
