Severus Sighs

Having spent the last three weeks battling with a growling, biting Severus, suffering through sacrifce, death and redemption, and not least having to deal with foolish Gryffindors, sexy Slytherins, unlikely Ravenclaws, and angelic Puffs, we are now very near the close of the Grand Challenge fest.

Before we leave you to tend your aching hearts, and ending on a high, we have one more day for astounding writing and artistry.

Enjoy.

A/N: Painted for my dear friend joanwilder/RaeWhit, who discussed a Siamese cat with me for a past project a few weeks ago. It ended up not being incorporated in the piece I was working on, but the idea of Severus with a Siamese has had me itching to paint it ever since. It got away from me a bit on the "drawble" part because I never know when to stop as I was having so much fun painting it. A huge thank you and squeezy hugs to atypicalsnowman for art beta skills which she didn't even know she had but came in darn handy!
