Wild rabid bunnies

[snaples]

So I was discussing story possibilities with my husband.  Yes, me and my hubby talk about my slashy obsessions.  Aren't I just about the luckiest??  In any case, I have this bunny that I want to materialize, but am having difficulty with.  I had the idea that following Dumbledore's death, Snape might just want to perform that horcrux spell for himself; while his intentions are noble and such, the man is still Slytherin and might share an obsession with Voldemort about immortality.  For the sake of the plot, however, I was wracking my brain with what Snape might consider a worthy vessel for a shard of his soul.

And my husband to answer: "What about Dumbledore's pensieve?"

It makes sense ... but it's such a huge endeavor that I am not certain to want to write it right away, or at least not before I have the time to do so.  But as far as bunnies go, I don't have that many, and wish I did.  Snape's voice is oddly silent these days, and I would love for it to start yelling insults for no other reason than showcasing what a greasy git he can be.

*sigh*

I hate wanting to be so damned canon and having to work around something as huge as SNAPE DYING.  

*sigh*

Working around canon is even harder than just Snape dying; there's all that "Harry does nothing useful for an entire year" business of Deathly Hallows. DH really soured me for trying to write around it. My HP plotbunnies still involve the Hogwarts years, sadly!
