After other mourners had filed away, Severus returned to the sepulchre, moving across the grounds in the shadows. His superstitious fingers stroked the cold white marble above the body. The body, not the soul.

"Father." Not his father, but alone he permitted himself this. "You taught me. You made me. What will become of me now?"

He lay prostrate, cold close-cropped grass absorbing his tears. Severus never cried, but now shook silently, bereft.

"You kept me when there was nowhere else."

Narcissa found him, comforting hand at his shoulder. No one touched him. "Come. Abraxas would not have wanted this."

	Ouch. Poor Snape =( At least he has a father figure who was kind to him. I love this line: "You taught me. You made me. What will become of me now?" (Reply to this) (Thread)

Why thank you so much! It is not necessarily canon, but it is 'my' canon.

And thank you for the community - I just discovered it recently and as I write Slytherins I was glad to see it active with regular prompts. Masks! I have an idea what I will write, and I am very much looking forward to all the Slytherin drabbles.

I read your piece for 'Late,' and should really be less shy about commenting. Poor Scorpio! How worried Lucius and Draco must be!

It's not as active as

draco100, but I do try to keep this abreast with the LJ comm. ;-)

Looking forward to yours too! =D

*g* Yes you should.

Lucius is suggesting dodgier and dodgier "cures"...Draco still has hope that Scorpius is just a late bloomer.
