Valky approaches the fence, looks through at her old pals sitting by
their raised flag through a gap in the posts. Her eyes sweep the scene
gazing for a moment at Alla, she raises her arm and lifts herself up
onto the fence, with a graceful leap she lands cleanly on the other
side....

<beg> "Ahh feels familiar being here..." she says to the stunned and
apalled faces around her. 
"What are you doing, Valky? Changed your mind again?" they say.
Valky smiles.. "No, not really <g> I just thought I'd try some method
acting to get deeper into Snapes role, maybe understand him
better....." she laughs, "Okay, you don't have to buy that, but heres
the thing, you see, I'm with Alla and Larry on this one."

"On my first read of HBP, I'll full admit, that the hatred and
repulsion etched on his face *instantly* reminded me of this moment in
POA. It was my first thought.. 'he never got over it then, even after
finding out he was wrong..' Yeah I absolutely bought it. The canon is
there. Alla and Larry are spot on, IMO."

"I would go as far as to say we have this particular question 'Could
he really *hate* the old man?' thrown fair in our faces all through
the series and theres anvil sized canon in OOtP."

"DD admits this very mistake and he is even seen apparently making it
AGAIN, all in the same chapter. Oh yeah, its there. In Dumbledore's
speech: first he says Sirius is too mature and wise to take Snapes
goading to heart.. and hands up who thought he was right?...  yeah I
thought so. Alright, hands up who just *trusted* that he knew this...
Yeah see most of us, No? We were just left with trusting him...  But
then he turns around and says 'Oh yes the Occlumency lessons, an old
mans mistake, I thought that Snape could put aside his old
resentments.. But NO he didn't."

Valky looks around at Alla and smiles, "Still trust me..?" ;D
and with that she hoists herself back to the other side of the fence..
for now..
