It’s now been a year since Deathly Hallows came out… and I’ve decided to mark the occasion with the first in a series of very short stories based on the original ‘fan synopsis’ (conceived more than a year before book 7 appeared)… make of it what you will!
The Taste of Euphoria: A Farewell to the Potterverse
by Cassandra Vablatsky
1: Lily
(In later years, Snape would remember that sixth-year Potions class almost as a dying person might recall their last period of remission. A brief, graceful interlude that could not last. James Potter, mercifully, was not present. Nor were Avery and Mulciber. Snape and Lily worked together in every lesson, apparently reconciled, the most able potioneers in the school. Sometimes he could even imagine they were as close as they once were… yet each knew that this restored friendship was too fragile to survive outside the classroom, in a world in which they were already irrevocably divided.)
‘Once again, Miss Evans appears to have rewritten the textbook,’ said Professor Slughorn, with an appreciative wink. He had lingered by their table for most of the lesson, prepared to be impressed. Now he bent over the cauldron, which seemed to be full of liquid sunlight, and stepped backwards, shading his eyes.
