Letters from Beyond - Continued

Dear Harry Potter, Boy-Who-Won't-Die,

As I appreciate the zeal with which you commissioned my portrait for the Headmaster's office, I cannot stress enough how tedious it is to see your son fall prey to the same stupidity that apparently runs in the sludge that is the Potter gene pool.  I have gazed upon his impertinent stare four times this week, the boy having been called into the Headmaster's office because of something having to do with Scorpius and slugs. 

Rein in your son's behavior, or I swear I will be the first portrait to successfully hex someone of the Living world!

Regards,
Your irritated though thankfully former Potions master.

PS~ Stop sending Marat with your correspondence -- the man keeps dripping blood everywhere and I don't think he realises yet just how dead he is supposed to be.

PPS~ I will also thank you to stop threatening me with promises of moving me from Hogwarts and into your home.

Hahahahahaha!!! I'm loving the letters from beyond!
"Threatening me with promises" <- how much do I love this phrase?!


Pssst. Few typos:
- apparently
- rein (not reign)
- correspondence


Are we going to see more? *fingers crossed*

Ah thanks for the typo heads up -- I wrote these directly into LJ without paying attention to spell check (blame also the fact I need to be in bed and not feverishly thinking up new ways of tormenting Snape).

I will have more. Thinking of writing a story around this. But of course, while the portrait gives way to a lot of possibilities, I do like the idea of ghost!Snape too. Maybe he can be the first Wizard to have both :) Although I'm pretty sure there have been others and that it could be a fairly common occurrence.

No problem; most of the time it's easier for someone else to catch typos.

I've missed your Snape-torment!

I like the idea of both ghost! and portrait!Snape. The more, the merrier! Although I'm not sure 'merry' is the right word to use here...

I'm loving these letters too ... poor Harry will never be rid of that snarky presence hovering over him. But I'm sure both of them he would be lost without that constant sniping.

This was great! :)

(And it was the first HP fic I've read since the last book came out.)

:D

Made my day. This is really cruel - won't poor Severus ever be in peace from the Potter plague?

Snape's gonna wake up with a sharpie moustache one day.
