Snape versus Data

Here it is:

Cross Over

Just a mish mash of cross over things I found today:

The Doctor is not impressed with Voldemort. Voldemort seems utterly confuzzled with the Doctor.

The Doctor meets Data!!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This one is really well done. The ladies look loverly!

the Snape Chronicles

Originally, I only wanted to ask Hannah if she was aware of the Snape Chronicles. This is a fanfic that reads as the real thing and Snape's view on all the events. If you're a Snape fan, you should read it. It's actually quite good and very entertaining. I found myself reading the first book completely in one evening.

Go here: the Snape Chronicles

The story was initially posted on a forum and you have to click around a bit, but the writer is very helpful with all the links. However, since I planned to read it while traveling I compiled the whole story and will make a pdf of it for easier spreading.

Important note: I didn't include everything, because the writer also wrote alternative pieces. I choose to stay as close to the story line that follows and is based on the original Harry Potter books. If you want to read the alternative pieces, go to the forum and read there. And even if you're reading my compiled version, please go there if only to comment to the writer.

So, I'm a Little Bored

Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?

Harry Potter and the Quest for Happiness

Lately I’ve been preoccupied by the Harry Potter films which we (=bf and me) borrowed from my ma-in-law (my bf’s mom, obviously). I never watched the films before, because the world and the thus forthcoming stories have never really been of interest to me; I’d rather see films closer to what’s possible. I must admit I’ve been doing some research on the storyline after having seen the sixth film “the Half-Blood Prince”. The cliff-hanger left me dangling and wondering about Professor Snape, and I needed confirmation Snape is not on the opposite side of Dumbledore. That said, I really don’t care about Harry, so I completely surpassed his presence and moved on to his mother Lily since that is where the story actually started. I must admit I only know that because of the little research I’ve done to who and what Professor Severes Snape is.

The promise I made about replying about Happiness is still in the back of my head, but neglected cause of the entrance of Snape into my brains (I really need to practise me some Occlumency. I can’t believe I actually used that word). I’m writing this entrance, because Snape’s entrance threw me back to thinking of how people achieve happiness. I think no spoilers are needed when I say Snape’s childhood where somewhat rotten and so were his student years. The fact his deep love for Lily isn’t answered doesn’t help either. I didn’t read the books, so I’m basing my thoughts on the film; Snape seems far from happy. Was that because he was too busy performing his duties, or was that because he had to miss the presence of Lily?

Obviously, happiness is not high on his agenda since he’s got other things to do, like sort of babysitting Harry. He mgiht not even be capable of being happy; he doesn’t seem to be the person for it.
On the other hand, Harry might be. He’s obviously not as dark as Snape, even though he has a boat load of things to tend to, like getting ready to battle Voldemort. Still, he does find the time to search for his happiness, or contentment, or whatever is required to achieve some level of happiness.

I don’t have my theories all worked out yet; I will get back to this subject. However, the above does help me a little in phrasing my answer. Before I get back to write a proper piece about Happiness, I’m going to reread the comments so I won’t shoot aimlessly and fail miserably.
