Snape's career choices sans Voldemort [07 Nov 2009|10:25pm]

snapedom
[fayzbub]
I've been wondering lately what Snape would have done with his life had he not come under the influence of Voldemort. I doubt he'd have gone into teaching at all. But it occurred to me that we really are not shown such a lot of choice of career in the wizarding world, and this is probably because of the fact that Harry is concentrating on other more pressing matters during his years at Hogwarts. But the Ministry seems to be the big employer, with a few other bits and pieces such as dress shops (Madame Malkin's), inn-keepers (Tom and Rosmerta), Borgin and Burkes, Ollivanders, etc. None of which I can really see Snape working in (although there's a few Snapefen I imagine who wouldn't mind him measuring us up for a new dress at Madame Malkin's LOL!)

I'd love to know of other options the members here might come up with for a satisfying career for Severus. I've written one fic "Back to Basics" where he abandons the wizarding world and lives out his life amongst the Muggles, running a string of naturopathy shops. Of course he'd be successful since his potions would work!

But that then gave rise to another question: would magic potions work on Muggles? We see Mr Weasely in hospital not responding at all well to stitches after Nagini attacked him, so I wondered if the same held true for Muggles' response to potions.

I look forward to the birth of plot bunnies!

    Title: One Dark And Stormy Evening
    Pairing: Al/Scorpius
    Rating: NC-17 for language, graphic sex
    Word Count: about 2,050
    Summary: Al and Scorpius drink Polyjuice to look like their dads; hilarity and fucking ensue.
    Warnings: They're both 17 and acting their age.  Does teenage stupidity need a warning? 
    Disclosure Statement: two large bags of Chili Cheese Fritos and a nice bottle of Riesling were killed in the making of this fic. 
    Notes and thanks: Happy belated birthday, Jana!  I tried to combine your present with this month's drunken fanfic challenge -- hence the title, stolen from the prompt -- but didn't get off my arse in time to post it there, so it morphed into something even stranger.  Hope you enjoy it.  :D

    ETA: Jana got the bunny for this fic from [info]bryoneybrynn 's hilarious work of staggering genius, Another...and Another...and, Fuck It, Just Leave Me the Bottle.  It's 1,200 words of sheer brilliance.

    Argh! Vampire fic is STUCK! I need a motivation for them to go where they're about to go. I mean, I know why *I* want them there--it moves the plot forward. But why do they want to be there? Dammit! I've got three scenes of disjointed, sparkling wit, too. I want to cram them together, but they obviously don't fit, like puzzle pieces missing a piece between.

    Okay, so what powers does a vampire traditionally have? You've got the bloodsucking, possibly strength, ability to call on animals? Ability to turn into a bat, yeah. Anything else?
