Snape had, like water, shaped himself to fit what surrounded him.

Among the Death Eaters, he was the soft simmer of a cauldron of poison - death unstoppered.

In the classroom, a wave crashing repeatedly against reefs of ignorance.

Wow, very evocative and powerful, so much alluded to in so few words.

Thank you so much! This is my first drabble (and my first actual piece of fanfic of any kind) so I'm very glad to hear that it worked for you.

That is extremely powerful imagery, especially the line comparing water to the other elements, and it fits Snape personally. Very good job!

Thank you! I decided to start writing drabbles in order to improve my ability to get a point across briefly and with strong descriptive details, so it's flattering to know that you liked the imagery I used.
