Okay.  You all have heard me whining about how I can't write fic to save my life, and I'm afraid I'm about to prove it to you in a truly spectacular way, but when I went to look at the prompts for hp_crackdealers , I couldn't help myself.

I have written the start of a story based on this prompt:
PROMPT 26 (CLAIMED ONCE)
Characters and/or Pairings:  Severus Snape

flist, dunderheadedness, fic

My dear,

Are you still thinking about that signature?
Here's a few things you might want to take into account.

1. This person will be the second character in the fic, so choose someone you'll enjoy writing. It's enough that Severus suffers, his author should have a fun time.

2. If you want to be canon-compliant, it's someone who survived. And one can be canon-compliant and still regard the ludicrous Shrieking Shack nonsense. Of course Snape got out.

3. It will slightly determine the nature of the papers.
Kingsley? We're thinking of Post-War hero status, announcement of Order of Merlin, some such

Minerva? Offers the option of something Hogwarts-related. With a bit of Ministry thrown in? A seminar in his honour? Rehabilitation? She found out that he fiddled with the school money to stack away a neat little sum for his future life outside the British Wizarding World?
Or, private-life-wise, she found a diary that throws an unexpected light on their relationship (whatever you conceive that to be?)

Or someone else alltogether?
Just a few ideas - I won't pester you with comments after this one, so you can just ignore it if you'd rather not be a very talented (yes, Miss, you are!) author after all. But the start was so brilliant, it's worth continuing. And I'll be honoured to volunteer as a co-author.
