How National Geographic Saved Severus Snape by suitesamba
Title: How National Geographic Saved Severus Snape
Author: suitesamba
Rating: R (for language and insinuation)
Warnings: Violent decapitation of a snake, mild Lord of the Flies behavior in Neville Longbottom, one or two “F” bombs, chan (Harry bestows his first kiss on Severus at 17).
Word count: 1802
Summary: Severus always thought the snake would be his downfall so, knowing the killing habits of giant venomous serpents, put certain protections in place. Harry, ever the hero, arrives at just the right time to perform a vital service.
A/N: My first beta (who may or may not be one of the moderators of this site) did not understand my reference to National Geographic magazine. She obviously grew up in the age of the internet when children did not have to resort to the photo spreads in this stellar magazine for pictures of naked people. I had someone of a more advanced age (49) read it and she immediately got it. I then polled the guys in my office and only two (aged 25 and 30) did not understand why one would titter over a NG magazine. So this one is for you oldsters out there. Enjoy!
