Happy New Year Drabble!
New year, new post! My NYDay superstition is that what you do on the Day is how you will spend your time for the rest of the year. So, not only did I write, granted, a drabble, but I'm posting it, too, as thanks to westernredcedar and the other Snupin Santa elves for their hard work in bringing the exchange to us one more year. A tiny drabble isn't really enough thanks for all of Cedar's hard work, but I'm hoping it will be a down-payment on better things to come!
Title: A Nose is Just a Nose
Author: lore
Rated: G
Era: Hogwarts
Notes: Not only thanks to Cedar and the SS crew, but thanks to phantaz_magoria for the inspiration in LS Chat!
Eleven-year-old Severus Snape saw the world divided by people with big noses and people with little noses. He decided that there were more people with big noses than small, because big noses could be wide, long, bulbous and crooked, while small was just...small. He walked into Hogwarts with his head held high, confident to be part of the majority now that he was in a school with lots of people.
Sixteen-year-old Severus stared into a mirror and performed one illusion after another on his face, a series of small, pleasing, noses flipping by like the pages of a book. None of them quite fit his face, and Severus ended the last spell with a frustrated flick of his wand. He was stuck with his massive nose, and he'd be damned if he'd let the likes of Potter and Black force him to alter his looks.
Besides, Lupin stared at him far too hungrily for Severus to believe he was completely without appeal.
Have a wonderful 2012, everyone!
love, lore
