Description

The Letter from Hogwarts.

For the second Challenge: Spinner's End.


''In the early hours one Saturday morning, having gone to bed hungry again, Severus was woken up from a restless sleep by a tapping noise at his bedroom window. It was a huge tawny owl, and it was carrying a crested letter. Severus opened the window and the owl flew in, in a flurry of snowflakes. He knew what the letter was as soon as he glanced at it – it was addressed to Mr. Severus Snape, Small-bedroom-under-the-Attic, Spinner’s End, Castleforth, W. Yorkshire. ......

.......He looked up and out of the dark window. In the distance the first grey, cold, light of an approaching dawn silhouetted the long finger of the mill chimney. Slowly, happiness swelled inside him, banishing the memory of the last few days of cold and hunger. It had come! He would soon be free! ''


From Chapter 5 of "Lily and the Half-Blood Prince''.

I love this painting! I always imagined Sev as a boy from the North Country--the address confirmed that! The writing and picture are a lovely capture of one of the few happy moments in a very sad life. Oh, I love that tawny owl! :heart:
