Kaylee: Hello! I think I'll join in here. I do so love discussing stuff  with 
the esteemed Captain of the DRIBBLE SHADOWS, you  know. My Captain.  ^.^
 
SSSusan:
Coming up for air, *finally,* I saw this question of yours,  
Saraquel.  Yep, when I said "under the boardwalk," I meant beneath  
the Malfoy floorboards.  Not sure why the hell I phrased it that  
way.  Just got that John Mellencamp "Under the Boardwalk" song in my  
head and it wouldn't go away. ;-)

Kaylee: *amused* Is that the one they play for the Santa Cruz Beach  
Boardwalk commercials? It is, isn't it? I wonder if Snape took Draco to the  
beach...oh, wait, can Snape handle sunlight and can Draco handle all the girls  in 
bikinis? *smirk* Sorry I didn't add any canon here...I'm rambling...But  anyway, 
SSSusan, I knew what you meant the whole time. Though it was a funny  picture...

ANYWAY... on to my real point.

Kaylee: Real point? But other stuff is so fun to talk about...

What I found interesting was my reaction to your comment that Snape  & 
Draco might already have separated, since there's no actual evidence  
that they disapparated together.  I found myself thinking, "Well,  
that might have happened *if* Draco knew and trusted those other 
three  DEs and elected to go with them, but that's the *only* way it 
would have  happened."  

Kaylee: You know, there *isn't* any actual evidence, is there? I don't  think 
Snape would have left Draco alone though...he (Draco) evidently didn't  trust 
Fenrir Greyback at least, and with good reason...*shudder* (Especially if  
you believe the werewolf!Draco thing...)

Now, why was my reaction that strong, I wonder?  I mean, sure, I'm  a 
believer in DDM!Snape... I'm a "He's a sadistic git but he's still on  
the side of good" kind of gal... but I find that NO MATTER WHICH side 
I  imagine Snape to ultimately be on, I still can't imagine him 
abandoning  Draco at that moment.  Partly it's the Unbreakable Vow and 
the promise  he made to Narcissa to watch out for Draco.  Partly it's 
that I think  he has watched Draco all 6 years he's been at Hogwarts.  
But I think,  truthfully, it's also partly that, for all his 
horribleness, I think Snape  typically DOES try to protect his 
students.  

Kaylee: *waves a DDM!Snape flag* All very good points, O Captain, my  
Captain, and I believe he does try to protect his *own* students. Harry and  
Neville...well, maybe. I know he saved Harry more than once though that could  have 
just been his repay-life-debt thing, and Neville at least once  ("Crabbe, loosen 
your hold a little. If Longbottom suffocates..." It was Crabbe,  wasn't it? 
Or was it Goyle? *doesn't have OotP on her*) So yes, I think  everything's 
pretty well thought out here.

Am I nuts there??  Is there anybody else who, along with me, has  
difficulty imagining Snape sneering, "You're on your *own* now,  
Draco.  Arrivederci." and disappearing by himself?  Somehow I just  
can't picture him leaving Draco until he was sure he was at least 
safe  for the moment.

Kaylee: *howls with laughter* Aside from the ridiculous image of SNAPE  
saying "Arrivederci", I can't picture it anyway. Thanks, though, now I have yet  
another ridiculous image to add to Snape and Draco Under the  
Boardwalk...*giggling madly*

Wow.  Noble!Snape?  Am I deluding myself?

Kaylee: I don't think so. But we'll see. I hope.

poetry HW at the minute...and has a test on  Monday.
