Notes: Picture 11 of 13 for the Thirteen Days of Severus leading up to the Professor's 50th birthday. What I imagine to be a bittersweet memory for Severus. For this one I experimented heavily with a few copic markers. This reference used for the shadows.

I don't know why it took me so long to think of something for 11. In many ways, I think Snape's experience with the letter was a lot like Harry's. It meant an escape. Unfortunately, he still had to wait more than half a year.

And it means so much to me that you think these have a story-telling element. I guess that's what comes of a series - a progression of some sort.
