Here is day six.

TITLE: Heart of a Slyterin
PERPETRATOR: Katrin Sather
SUE-O-METER:
(toxic)
COVER/BANNER ART: A picture of Snape from the movies with the title of the fic splashed over.

FULL NAME: Lysandra Blackwell
SPECIES: She's a spy for Dumbledore.
HAIR: “The scent of her chocolate-colored hair was all he could smell...” Does it also smell like chocolate. If if it does, does it smell like milk chocolate as you cook it, chocolate mixed with almonds, or maybe there is a mint smell in because its one of those delicious chocolate mints.
EYES: I may have missed it in the chapters I did read.
MARKINGS: Hmm... nothing that really stood out when I read it.
POSSESSIONS: Nothing that stood out at this time.
CONNECTION TO CANON: We start off with her in class despite the fact the first line in the fanfic says she was a seventh year the year of the tournament, meaning she should have graduated. Both are being summoned by Voldemort and she's worrying about “how they were supposed to answer a summons without raising suspicion”. She then makes a racket so that they would be able to both go. Potter then finds himself having to convince Wizarding Society that the two were spies, not true Death Eaters. We find Ron going on and on about how she's a Death Eater in chapter four. Same chapter she finds herself speeding to Snape's room to comfort him from his nightmares. Thus they end up sleeping together. Chapter six is about the next school term starting up. Seventh chapter she's finding herself with pain in her side and having to have Snape brew her a poition. She then has a spat with her lover. (She's talking about him coming to sleep with her because of his nightmares.) Chapter eight is them trying to reconcile over drinks. The rest of the story from the chapter titles seems to be angst.
ORIGIN: She either graduated the year before the twins or is graduating their year. In chapter two we jump to the Last Battle where “So the most she ever did was defend herself and tried to find Severus. He'd promised to find her during the fight so that they could tell Harry that he was Voldemort's last Horcrux, however unintentional, besides Nagini.” She ends up rescuing him and then saying to him this about Lily. “"One: you are not a git. Two: it's romantic, not cliché. And three: if you hadn't, we'd all be bloody dead, so shut up about it."
SPECIAL ABILITIES: “Lysandra Blackwell is ordered by Dumbledore to become Severus Snape's spying partner, and they become unlikely friends.” This is despite the fact she is just older then Harry being two to three years ahead of him in school. The first chapter starts off telling us how she wanted to be a part of the Order, but didn't want the job of a spy. Which begs to question why she is a spy in the first place. Also, “she was quick and accurate in a duel, and she was gifted with curses and hexes in that hers lasted longer, did more damage, and used less energy”. After joining his rank's “Voldemort would 'grace' her, as he'd put it, with the Dark Mark only months later, whereas with others, unless they'd been among the very first of the Death Eaters, like Snape, it'd taken over a year. Voldemort is also summoning her when he would very well know class is going on. She's the only one other then Snape, Pettigrew, Lucius and Bellatrix to no avoid the gaze of Voldemort. (All his information is in the first chapter.) When they become teachers at the school, Snape is made to take his old Potions position back and she gets the coveted Defense Against the Dark Arts. Snape loves the way her hair smells. Snape also has major angst over her well being because Dumbledore made him swear to protect her.

NOTES: Why is it so many people are using their real name on the site despite the fact the admins have a warning as soon as you log in that says, “do not put sensitive info on your profile: i.e. phone number, home address, photo, full name, date of birth, and etc. I bring this up simply because this is the second one in the last week I suspect of using their real name. Anyways...

Here is part the author's note for the first chapter. “My Lysandra Blackwell and Sirius' ancestor Lysandra Black having almost identical names is entirely coincidence.” For some reason the characters are constantly rolling their eyes at each other.


SAMPLE:

Lysandra Blackwell was a seventh-year when Voldemort returned during the Triwizard Tournament. She remembered, very clearly, how desperately she had wanted to join Harry and his friends on the front lines in their fight against the evil bastard. But she'd been given a place elsewhere in the Order; she'd become a spy, joining Snape whenever he was summoned to a meeting by the Dark Lord. She'd gained his trust quickly due to how well Snape had gained it and how well she played her part. Voldemort would "grace" her, as he'd put it, with the Dark Mark only months later, whereas with the others, unless they'd been among the very first of the Death Eaters, like Snape, it'd taken over a year.

She sighed. She hadn't wanted to be a spy, but she couldn't argue with Dumbledore's reasoning in her becoming one-she was quick and accurate in a duel, and she was gifted with curses and hexes in that hers lasted longer, did more damage, and used less energy; it was as if she was born to duel. So, Dumbledore ordered Snape to train her how to act like a Death Eater and to start taking her to meetings, get her accepted, show her off as if he'd found the most brilliant little dark witch, because the Dark Lord was becoming suspicious of Snape as of late. Lysandra was pretty much his bodyguard, in case it was decided that he was no longer trustworthy and was attacked by the others or, God forbid, Voldemort himself.

"Miss Blackwell," the potions master's sarcastic voice drawled in week later, pulling her from her thoughts. "Care to turn your attention back to the class?"

She sat up, raising her head from where it had been resting on her hand. "Right. Sorry, sir."

He just pursed his lips. Surely, she wasn't the only one who could read people well enough to see the less-than-happy look in his eyes when he said his next words? "Ten points from Gryffindor."
