#Voldemort being his creepy stalker self

[metalomagnetic]

Snippet for 'It runs in the bood'

I was so moved by all the lovely comments I got, that it made me want to work on the new chapter immediately, even if I probably should rest, instead.

Anyway, here is a little taste of Sirius being his horrible self.

-----

He finds Snape crowding Quirrell against a wall, acting all intimidating.

However, he’s a fucking looser that can only intimidate little children; it’s only when Sirius shows up that Quirrell bolts, making himself scarce so quickly, Sirius could swear he more flew away that walked-

I must be tired. Sirius must be seeing things that aren’t there. He had a very rough Samhain night, like all Samhain nights are for him, and after that, he had to open a letter to read Harry fought a fucking troll.

“That’s how you do it, Snivellus,” Sirius barks at him. “See, I just have to show up and people flee from me.”

Now it’s Sirius that crowds the miserable twat against the wall. “I hear you’re trying your hand at bullying, Snivellus. The problem is you’re trying it with my boy. I thought I should remind you why that is a terrible idea, the worst you’ve had in ten years.”

Snape glares at Sirius, with those black holes he has instead of eyes.

“How is it possible you got even uglier?” Sirius asks, wrinkling his nose in distaste.

Snape pulls out his wand, face twisting with hate.

Sirius laughs. “Really? You want to curse a Hogwarts Governor? Not only you got uglier, but stupider, too. Truly, life doesn’t seem to agree with you. Shut up!” he growls, when Snape opens his mouth. “I don’t care to hear what you have to say; I never did.” He steps closer, towers over Snape, who still holds his wand firmly, but hesitates to do more with it.

“You know what I think, Snape? I think you should have another moonlight encounter with a four legged, furry animal. I think the first one wasn’t enough to teach you a lesson. You know why it wasn’t enough? Because James saved you. But you got him killed, you sniveling worm. You got him and Lily killed, and now there’s no one to save you when I send Greyback after you. And I will, if I hear a single complaint against you from Harry. You know I will.”

“You-” Snape hisses, going red and deathly pale at the same time. It’s a funny combination. “That’s all you do these days, threaten to set the werewolf on people? Brave Gryffindors should fight their own battles-”

“You’re unworthy of my wand. Curses are wasted on you. I even feel sorry for Greyback, to stain his fangs with your disgusting body…a pity. Alas, that’s why I have minions, to spare me of such undignified tasks. You’d like to have minions, too, no doubt. You’d love to have the means to set a werewolf on someone; that’s why you’re on a power trip with the children, you fucking arsehole, because they’re the only ones powerless enough to listen to you. But you don’t have anything, that’s the truth. Remember, I used to tell you, when we were kids ourselves? That you’ll die alone and unwanted? Seems I was right. No doubt you’re still sleeping with Lily’s picture on your pillow, since the poor photograph can’t exactly protest to your pathetic presence. At least have the decency not to antagonise her son- the one that you orphaned.”

“Sirius,” a firm voice calls from the end of the hallway.

It’s Dumbledore’s no nonsense voice, very different from how he sounded half an hour ago.

“Oh, sorry,” Sirius hisses at Snape. “I forgot you do have someone. A master to serve. A new one, that is. You’ve forsaken the first one, after all-”

“Sirius!” Dumbledore’s voice gets even steelier, and it’s coming closer.

“Stay away from Harry, you greasy pice of shit!” Sirius warns, and then turns and storms away.

And if that weird Quirrell stalks after him again, he’s going to meet the bad end of Sirius’ wand. He’s reached the limit of his patience for the night.

For the entire fucking year, actually.

Not the same anon but thats the main reason im interested in fem!harry x voldemort dynamics like.. using NG as an example how different would that scene where he takes harry naked and in chains to a death eater meeting, play out if harry was a woman, a teenage girl instead? being seen notice leered at would imo probably a more painful, complicated thing for a prophesied girl hero. coming to terms with her womanhood and its material ramifications, the perception of the body as a weapon and at the same time a weakness, while growing up in universe in which she is a fundamental piece to defeat an evil, powerful man... well.. it makes me Thoughtful i suppose.

Hm yes good point, I wasn’t even thinking about that scene. Weirdly my gut says that V wouldn’t have done that if he was a she. Harry being a man naked and exposed makes that all read very differently. What happened there was this humiliating thing; like ‘haha look The Chosen One is naked isn’t that funny’ but youre right, it wouldn’t have read the same if he were a teenage girl. He (V) might not have even felt the need to have to do that whole thing in the first place if Harry were a young woman, as that was all about emasculating him. i don’t know exactly what he would have done. But things certainly would have played out differently. Maybe fem!harry would even have an advantage all around. Can you imagine her having things like a a period while V is being a creepy stalker? he would feel so awkward and maybe realize that he IS a fucking creep. And that, having some self reflection early on in the fic, would probably change his approach to many things.

even though I was never part of snapedom (snape fandom?), I never shared the opinion that Snape was a “creepy stalker”

I don’t really get it where that idea came from . Snape was watching Lily in secret when they barely knew each other because he felt self-conscious about his looks and he was literally a child back then (and children normally dont know how to properly communicate) and it was not like he was planning to watch her behind the bushes forever, he made geniune attempts to step out and speak to her

When they were older, Snape wasn’t an obsessive stalker either, he was just very upset about Lily talking with the maradeurs (which is a normal emotional reaction of a..teenager? and friends being jealous and cautious/distrustful toward third people is a common reaction, even if its not healthy) . Not to mention that according to the book he literally had friends of his own (if Malfoy and other slytherins count) and had personal plans for his future and studied hard at school

When Lily told him to leave her alone, he never bothered her anymore ever since then.

I saw people complain that he didnt do anything when Lily was alive and, like, didnt help her? Didnt she ask him to never talk with her?  people blame him for not saving Lily..? But dont people claim he shouldn’t be a creep? Thats confusing

People make fun of him being distraught with the fact that Voldemort decided to kill Lily. What else was he supposed to do? Go like : “ Oh okay, the person I love despite taking the wrong path is gonna die, I’ll go to sleep now.”

(Im sorry for my english)
