Happy Daft Day, arielhime! Recipient:arielhime Title:Poco Allegretto Author:gin_tonic Rating: NC-17 Wordcount: 16,700 Warning: Alternate Reality Prompt/Summary: Severus Snape, conductor of the Hogsmeade Symphony Orchestra finds himself faced with a new addition to his orchestra. That addition's name is Harry Potter and Severus is not at all amused by his presence – and therefore he must leave; the sooner the better. A/N: Ariel, you said you liked some angst that resolves itself, courtship/seduction, music (or any of the Arts, in general), foreign languages, different cultures / moving to a different country, non-magical AU or AR and first times and many, many other stuff that I could choose from. I hope this lives at up to your expectations – at least a bit. I had loads of fun writing and researching for this. :) Many thanks go to my dear translators E and P, who will never know that they contributed to a slash story, and to the absolutely fabulous drachenmina for so many suggestions and beta-reading! The evaluation of the musicians is not mine – it's what the characters think, I swear! XD
