Art: Nineteen Years Later (G)

[sigune]

I am adding the final touches to a short Snape/Brynhild fic for the current challenge at romancingwizard, as well as working on a rewrite of my pre-DH post-HBP Snape family saga, and all the Snape shipping on my mind finally got me to draw a picture of which I had been thinking for a while - a joint portrait of Snape and Brynhild's children *g*. Here they are, nineteen years after Voldemort's defeat: Alba and Alexander Snape.









If I had invented the Snapelings after DH, I don't think I would have had Snape and Brynhild call their firstborn Alba, but up to HBP it still looked as though Dumbledore had been a kind of substitute father to Snape... Ah well.

Snape wishes that his daughter would stop smoking, but as he keeps smoking himself, Alba does not feel obliged to listen to him. He also wishes that his son would wear his hair short, but as he wears it long himself, Xander thinks there is no reason to obey.

This was done with Faber-Castell PITT pens, Tombow markers and Koh-I-Noor watercolour pencils.

LOL! I'm afraid it's Victoria... Poor Severus wouldn't want one of his children to remind him of the pesky Potter boy, and Brynhild wanted a say in the naming too. ("Alba" was Severus's choice, and Brynhild could choose the second name; with Xander it's the other way around. His second name is Severus.)

Yes, I have decided to keep Snape alive. His death doesn't make sense to me, and it's depressing too. I require at least one survivor from the Marauder generation, a chance for Snape to mature and get over Lily and build a new life, and a successful Slytherin way of life :-).
