Untainted
Title: Untainted
Author: [info]cruisedirector
Words: 100
Characters: Snape, Sirius' mother
Challenge: #57, "The funniest thing that ever happened to me" by Snape.


"FILTHY HALF-BREEDS, BLOOD TRAITORS, CHILDREN OF DIRT!" Mrs. Black screamed, and on and on. Not two words could be spoken at the Order meeting before she started again. When anyone tried to silence her, it only worsened matters; she cursed at Lupin, and saved the worst of her insults for Black himself.

Finally Dumbledore asked me to make an attempt. "I am Severus Snape," I began.

"Snape? Well, you're hardly a Black or a Malfoy." Yet she calmed immediately. "Why would a pureblood speak to these scum?"

"I assure you, Mrs. Black, it gives me no pleasure." Then she smiled.

Yikes Mrs. Black just sounds like a nutbar! I like how Snape handled her just a few well placed words (not to mention that sexy voice of his) and he calmed the beast...litterly...

I just liked the idea of Sirius' mother liking Snape better than Sirius (which she would have, no question, at least superficially, before she decided she hated him too). Thank you!

How did I miss this? *scratches head*

Oh, nothing like bonding over a painting! If only for a moment, Snape can laugh at the absurdity that is the Order.

I always wonder deep down how much Slytherin attitude about purebloods Snape has absorbed and whether on some level he's snickering in agreement with Mrs. Black. Thanks!

The biggest thing I wonder is how closely related Snape is to the Blacks and Malfoys (I'm assuming that as Head of Slytherin House he must be a pureblood). I want to know whether it's possible he's in the direct male line of inheritance, for fic purposes. *g*

Thanks!

I can see Snape getting along quite well with Mrs Black in canon. Good job.

Oh, me too, though I am not sure whether Snape is actually a pureblood snob or whether he was just lashing out at Lily for coming to his rescue in OOTP. His treating Hermione like crap has always seemed to me to have to do with her being a Gryffindor know-it-all, not a Mudblood, and he treats Neville worst of all though he is a pureblood. Anyway, I am just babbling...thank you!

Thank you! That is because Alan Rickman is king of the OMGWTF face no matter what makeup he's wearing. *g*

I imagine Severus must have gotten a big kick out of listening to Sirius' mother talk to him like that. Even if he could identify with being a victim of a verbally abusive parent, his dislike of Sirius goes so very deep...
