Its becoming an addiction

Oh, holy maxdibert, please bless us with post-school pre-teaching (from 18 to 20) Snape headcanons

Alright, here are some headcanons I’ve always had to fill in gaps and make sense of certain things:

• His mother died shortly after he left Hogwarts. Eileen’s health had already been in terrible condition due to her way of life, and she was increasingly neglected. In the end, she passed away from some sort of magical illness.

• Severus only returned to Spinner’s End for the funeral, where his father showed up drunk. He decided he had no reason to go back there, especially now that his mother was gone and he was involved with the Death Eaters, finally able to leave the Muggle world behind for good.

• He handled Eileen’s death terribly by completely ignoring his need to grieve, pretending it hadn’t happened, and using the fact that he no longer had any connection to the Muggle world to sever himself from that part of his life, which he had always hated as it reminded him of terrible things.

• Another terrible way he coped was by throwing himself into his “work,” which at that time consisted of political scheming with the Death Eaters. He volunteered for every undesirable task just to avoid stopping and thinking about things he didn’t want to face.

• That’s basically how he ended up taking on espionage tasks for Voldemort: aristocratic pure-blood wizards saw sneaking around in alleyways as lowly work. They wanted to plan assaults or be on the front lines, playing heroes of fanaticism—not hiding in the trash to see what scraps they could gather. Severus didn’t mind because it meant being out all day, avoiding places that made him stop and think.

• Being meticulous, perfectionistic, and someone who liked working alone, he turned out to be excellent at it. Since he was so good at it, he caught Voldemort’s attention. Voldemort might be oblivious when it comes to emotions, but he’s practical and knows how to spot talent.

• This led to Voldemort giving him more complex and secretive tasks, tasks he wouldn’t entrust to many others. It was the door to Voldemort’s inner circle, in a way so discreet that many in the organization still thought Severus was just “Lucius’ half-blood lackey.”

• Speaking of Lucius, of course, he was the one who brought Severus into the Death Eaters. They were pretty close during that time, with Lucius taking on a kind of patronizing, older-brother role toward him.

• That was also when Severus started to really bond with Narcissa. They’d known each other for years but hadn’t spoken much due to the age difference and because he mostly saw her as “Lucius’ girlfriend.” But once they were out of school and the Malfoys were about to get married, they started interacting more, and Narcissa sort of “adopted” him.

• He attended the Malfoys’ wedding, which took place in early 1979.

• That spring, he found out that his father had been found dead in an alley. No one knew what had happened; they just told him that Tobias had been fired from the factory months earlier for showing up drunk too many times, and afterward, he’d never left the pub.

• He didn’t care about the details—just that the house was now his, and he didn’t want it for anything.

• Instead of grieving properly for this second loss, so close to the first, he focused even more on advancing within the Death Eaters, taking on more and more dangerous and reckless missions.

• Voldemort admired his dedication to the cause and his willingness to risk his life, but he had no idea that Severus didn’t care about the cause at all—he just wanted to stop thinking.

• That same year, he also found out that Lily had married James Potter. When he was told, he didn’t say anything—he just compulsively smoked through two packs of cigarettes in a single day.

• His favorite coping mechanism? Absolute avoidance of emotions, with no attempt to acknowledge or process them.

• He wasn’t sad or jealous about Lily’s marriage—he was absolutely furious and deeply disappointed. This culminated in him getting into a ridiculous fight with another Death Eater over some stupid comment. He ended up lunging at the guy and completely wrecking his face.

• Some of the more sadistic Death Eaters thought Severus was a pretty tough guy after that, like some kind of rabid animal. But in reality, he was just a kid who’d been taught to handle emotions with violence.

• He heard the prophecy because Voldemort had finally entrusted him with one of the riskiest tasks: spying on Dumbledore. Ironic, since years later Dumbledore would ask him to do the same thing, but in reverse.

• He liked the recognition Voldemort gave him, liked feeling useful, liked occasionally visiting the Malfoys, and liked how Narcissa would shut Bellatrix up whenever she made snide remarks about him. Bellatrix reminded him too much of Sirius Black—not just in her arrogance, impulsiveness, and insufferability, but also in their physical resemblance—and it drove him crazy.

• He often hung out with Mulciber, Avery, and Rosier, but he got bored quickly because all they did was get drunk and fall over after barely a few drinks. They couldn’t hold their liquor at all.

• Severus wasn’t much of a drinker for fun, but when he did, he could handle a lot more than they could. He would never have admitted it out loud, but in those moments, he thought of them as spoiled brats.

• He had a couple of flings with some pure-blood girls they introduced him to, but nothing serious. Narcissa would sometimes scold him, telling him to find a good match and settle down because “family, blah blah blah,” but it all just sounded like old-people talk to him.

• Around that time, Lucius was obsessed with trying to get Severus to apply for Ministry positions, claiming that with the right connections (i.e., his), Severus could rise to a high-ranking role. But Severus wasn’t interested and never paid him much attention.

• He perfected his Occlumency skills during that period because many Death Eaters were skilled Legilimens, and he didn’t want anyone getting into his head.

• He met Draco shortly after he was born, which was one of the most awkward moments of his life. He had no idea how to interact with a newborn, so he just stared at him for five minutes like he was some exotic animal that was both intriguing and baffling. Narcissa eventually had to tell him to stop staring because he was going to traumatize the baby.

• The idea of returning to Hogwarts or Spinner’s End would never have even crossed his mind—until he heard the prophecy.

• He learned that strength, wealth, or brilliance aren’t the keys to success; the ability to obtain and manage information is the key to power.

everybody shut up and imagine nobleflower and quillkiller beginning AFTER andromeda runs away with ted (no don't ask me about timelines and shit !!)

like narcissa was the way too uppity-uppity quiet one, and bellatrix was just TOO MUCH in every aspect and andromeda was balance. she was the fun, the glue, the life of the party, the charmer, the golden girl! and she left!! and both narcissa and bellatrix felt betrayed. (imagine they were all still hogwarts age atp even if it doesn't make sense ty) she left for a muggle-born no less! narcissa misses the balance and freedom hanging out with andromeda gave her. the only times she could be a kid. enter: alice. she has a similar personality, she's fun and isn't a sickler for the rules but she isn't TOO MUCH either. she's perfect for narcissa <3

and ritaaaa (in my head she's a bit less of a bitch when she's at hogwarts cuz her bitchiness in hp is the kind that is built through years of being a smart & cunning woman climbing ladders). she's the cooler fire that andromeda was to bellatrix. her anchor. the one who doesn't tell her to calm down but directs her muchiness to smth that feels better.

note: i don't think they actually SEE andromeda in alice & rita but rather the personality and the peace they felt. their grief of losing their sister is totally different but with the black family being all yk.. them.. bits of emotional incest and obsession wouldn't be a surprise.

it took them both a long time to actually see alice & rita as INDIVIDUALS rather than concepts (longer for bellatrix)

but the thing is nobleflower was actually sweet!! their only issue was the timings, the war, etc.. narcissa wasn't a hardcore blood purist - did she believe in that shit? yes cuz that's all she knew growing up. but she's the typa person to not get too obsessed with anything. she doesn't commit to any of it - that includes idealogies. so just a bit of exposure would have done the trick - in another universe sighhh. but yeah narcissa wasn't one to get too attached - she above all, valued security, not one for passionate romances either. so yeah she sneaked around with alice a lot but ultimately she wasn't willing to risk leaving her family's protection. and alice wasn't willing to be the mistress of some death eater's wife so they parted ways a few months after graduation ://

BUT quillkiller holy shittt they INVENTED TOXIC YURI!!! rita is very very sneaky and manipulative and gets answers out of ppl just so - and bellatrix was one of her fav + earliest test subjects <3 (bellatrix did not like that she was being manipulated nuh uh) (she also used to manipulate her back) they made each other cry so harddd all the time bro. they had very hot make up sex <3 but it was like only i can hurt you, i'll hurt anyone who hurts you tho. they wouldn't have lasted in any universe cuz they would've grown to DETEST each otherr

do not come after me pls i will cry ik this doesn't make sense but bro im just yapping idkkk </33

Just gonna drop a little oc lore right here…

If not for being a stillborn, Nicholas Armand Malfoy would’ve become the husband of Céléase Rosier. And so when it came time for Narcissa to find a promising husband, it was Céléase who played matchmaker and set her niece up with Lucius Malfoy.

[pangaeaseas]

narcissa malfoy must know so much random Voldemort lore. she knows how he takes his tea and what he complains about at dinner and what he complains about to lucius and what he talks about in bed with bella..she's probably spent so much time with him, his closest supporters, and his lover, and also she's a massive gossip who collects the details like a magpie but also to keep herself and her family alive. after the war Voldemort related details make her freeze up in terror or laugh out loud.

[deathnguts]

Narcissa: We decided that if, Merlin forbid, anything happens to us, we would like regulus to be Draco’s god parent

Regulus: That is great news! Draco! When something horrible happens, you’ll be all mine!

Lucius: It really is an ‘if’ situation-

Regulus, already holding Draco: All mine!

The Black Sisters, as girls

[sneppu]

i REFUSE to believe for even a moment, for even a SECOND, that Severus Snape isnt just straight up, unironically, Lucius Malfoy's sugar baby. And Narcissa's too, for that matter. A man like Snape? Tall, slim, with memorable and striking features? He is built for fashion. He is born for The Runway™ and Narcissa Malfoy née Black can never resist the urge to dress him up in pretty things any more than Lucius Malfoy can resist buying and watching him wear said pretty things.

Snape may or may not realize it, but he is absolutely, unequivocally, undeniably being sugared out of his mind.
