Image Inspiration - Into the Past by JAWorley

Summary: Harry gets to see more of Snape's past, traveling back into the past, or seeing Snape's memories. Your challenge: Use one or more of the photos I've linked to below to get inspired. Click on the images to see the larger versions.

Bonus if...

Harry gets to see Snape in his 20's with short hair as in one of the pics below where his hair is cut.
Harry figures out while he's in the past or while he's seeing the past that Snape is his father.
Harry helps Snape in the past in some way... perhaps he sees how much of a jerk James is and gets Snape and Lily together for a short while... where they end up conceiving Harry? He can have a part in this even if it's unintentional.
...the story is more than 5 chapters long.

The rest is up to you! Be creative though. I would love to see the familiar old places and some new ones, and perhaps something new in the fan-fiction universe. Yes, Snape joined the death eaters and yes he is in love with Lily, but try to put a spin on this that no one else has done yet!

[Responses - 0]

Summary: In fifth year Professor Umbridge forced Harry to use a blood quill to write "I must not tell lies" into his hand, over and over again. This act not only caused him pain and scarring, but it left a magical consequence whenever he tells a lie. What is this consequence? How does Snape know, and what does he do with this knowledge?

It's A Boy-Girl Thing by Ebbtide

[Responses - 0]

Summary: Based off the story premise for the movie, It's a Boy, Girl Thing. Harry switches bodies with a girl he recently met - she is Ravenclaw, anything else about her is up to the author - and they must find a way to reverse it before anyone finds out. A cursed object must be responsible for the switch and the only thing that can turn them back is for them both to get a little more open minded. It happened because Harry and the girl were both being little snots and talking badly about each other in whatever way the author wants. Snape must suspect Potter of being gay...because of how he acts when the girl is in his body...and so they have to avoid the Potions Master as he tries to figure out what is going on and WHO it is going on with.

In One Mind by Lianne

[Responses - 0]

Summary:

Using their minds' contact, Voldemort has succeeded in trapping Harry in his mind (or they're both in Harry’s? Decide on your own). Harry is strongly depressed (possibly after Sirius’s death) and doesn’t have the will to fight Voldemort. With this state of things, it will take Voldemort only a few days –or even hours - to change Harry into his obeying slave, to destroy his mind completely or to manipulate him into becoming Voldemort’s loyal servant. Severus Snape must somehow persuade Voldemort to let him into their minds too, or get there by Legillimency (or any other way). There, he has to give Harry back the will to fight and live, he must go with him back to some of his memories, both good and bad ones, and help to heal Harry. He discovers the truth about Dursleys, see himself from Harry’s point of view in some potion’s class (or during another occasions) and finds out why Harry‘s friends like him and honour him. He must find a respect for Harry and show him that his friends care about him and that he isn’t quilty of all bad things that ever happened. Then, together, Harry and Snape can fight the battle against Voldemort. PS: Snape must be very careful or Voldemort will discover too soon what his intentions and he could try to kick him out of this

You can play with other peoples‘ reactions to this whole matter. Where was Harry when his mind was trapped? At the Dursleys? At Hogwarts? At the Grimauld’s Place, at Weasley’s home or hidden somewhere else after he had escaped from his previous location? What will Dumbledore, Ron, Hermione, Remus, McGonagall or Sirius (if you doesn’t kill him) think about this? How does Harry act during the trapping? Does he eat? Can he be seen as mentally unstable by the Ministry again?
The sharing of one mind requires also sharing of the memories. For every memory of Harry’s life that he is forced to see, he will see also one of Voldemort’s and later Snape’s. Voldemort can be using those memories to manipulate Harry even more, Snape – that’s up to you. If you feel to it, you can even do a bit of Voldemort-psychology, like why he’s a bad guy or if there is some hope for him. OR Voldemort’s memories doesn’t show up at all, but Snape has to share his with Harry for a reason (so Voldemort won’t kick him from the connection, to make Harry listen to him etc.)
Enjoy the mind land. Desribe it as you like it. Invent new laws that stand there.
How will Harry and Snape (and Voldemort) feel and act once the link is broken? Where was Snape during the process, next to Voldemort? What happens?

In Memoriam by Graciella Bellanotte-Diadoro

[Responses - 1]

Summary: After DH, Harry is chosen - not that there's a deluge of volunteers - to give Snape's eulogy. What will he say? The strict definition of a eulogy is "a speech or writing in PRAISE of a person or thing," but . . . feel free to satirise or at least insert a little tongue-in-cheek humour. I know I will. :o)
