Letterorum Incedet

By Angelis-Sensei

AN: I don't want to deal with Voldemort in this fanfiction, sorry. He's permanently dead. Harry killed him at the Ministry! Huzza! Right?

As of April 18, this is now Beta'd by SailorHecate. Thank you again for all the help! I'm very grateful for you!

Repost: Wow... Two chapters in and I already have to re-hash it all. Thanks for all the support, everyone... I feel SO over joyed. I'll do it the way YOU want it done then. Okay? To make it just ANOTHER machine- hashed Severitus. I'll have Harry NEVER grow up to understand ANYTHING, and I'll have him be an absolute bastard to Severus JUST BECAUSE he didn't understand him! Is that great! I hope it is! That's what you'll get. This is MY fan fiction MY interpretation of the original ideas.

My thoughts on Severus' height. Alan Rickman, the man that they cast for Severus is relativly average height, at least from what I recall. In the BOOKs, I rarely recall when Severus' height was well discussed. The only mention was comparing him to Sirius, and that was saying that he was relativly SHORTER than Sirius, and I think Sirius is tall. James, I believe is at least a few inches taller than Severus... why else would they have the nerve to bull Severus so much? I believe that Severus is discribed as "Towering" because it has a lot to do with imigery. I've had a person that's only an inch taller than me "tower" over me. It's the imigery of being threatening and imposing, in my opinion.

My thoughts on Harry's height. If James is taller than Severus, then when Harry is James' he's taller than what he would be if he were Severus'. In the beginning of the FIFTH book Harry is discribed as looking like he grew quite a lot in a short period of time. From my prospective, Harry would be about average height after such a growth spurt. I mean, really, after threatening the Dursleys with his Godfather, why would they not feed him enough? Who'd want a murderer after them for their nefew?

My thoughts on the eye colours. Here it is. This is what I think: Severus Snape's parents are amuggle and awitch. The common eye colour is Brown, right? I thought so. Now, someone with as black as eyes as Severus is put out to be, wouldn't you think that he has the dominant genes from BOTH parents? I would have to think that.

My thoughts on Harry's acceptance of Severus. When someone grows up, suddenly the people who they thought were complete bastards become very thoughtful and caring when looking back. This all depends on the point of view and the maturity of the said person. Now, if you were in Harry's position at the end of the Fifth book, you would know how he would have to grow up pretty fast. However, seeing how this is FANfiction, I have the right to change it to what I like in my FANfiction, yes? That's what the rest of you do, right? I think that Harry should have grown up a little more, and be more understanding of Severus than in the book Six.

LASTLY. I hate, hate hate the colour green. I know, it's a Slytherin colour and I'm Slytherin. But, because of personal issues, let's say... I absolutly and utterlyhate the colour. That's the end of it. I will not tolerate the main character of the fanfiction I'm typing to have the same colour eyes as my bloody mother.

If you have any questions on anyof the above, email me. I would LOVE to hear from you.

Besides... Have ANY of my fanfiction been one of the 'traditional' types? I don't go with the flow. That's just that.

Thank you for listening to my ranting. I do hope that you don't expect a new chapter until I have the will powerand bravery (of which I am lacking on -- bravery, that is) to post something that may get totally slaughtered just because it's different. I do hope that none of you pick on or bully anyone that is so called different. I like to be different, thank you VERY much.

Enjoy if you can.

Prologue:

It was...

!-!

It was quite the start to the term. There they were, sitting at their bench in Potions near the beginning of September. Quite a sight, really. Many failed to notice quite a change in one Harry Potter, in particular. He knew that he would never be normal. He knew that for sure. This drastic change seemed to prove that.

It was when his relatives, Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia, burned another letter in front of him. He had begged them not to do it, but it had been too late. Apparently, it had been from his Mother. They still held a grudge against her, even though she was 15 years dead.

It was when Harry's birthday rolled around that it started to happen. Only very slightly. If only he knew what was in that letter of his Mother's! He bet his broomstick that contained in that very letter was the answer to such change in him.

It was his eyes that began to go under this slow change first. They looked darker, not the same brilliant green they used to be. It had to be one of the things that intrigued him the most.

To be Continued...

AN: No, I'm not doing this instead of my other story, just as a little story to get it out of my mind.
