'Utter bloody drivel' Severus thought to himself, as he sipped his morning tea. How could he have forgotten the day? It seemed simultaneously like it had been mere days ago, and somehow like another lifetime had passed since the fall of the Dark Lord. He rubbed his left forearm subconsciously as his eyes wandered across the page of the paper.
Of course, he knew what had happened in all their lives. It was nigh on impossible to miss it every time one of the Golden Trio accomplished something. 'Though,' he thought bitterly, 'they have actually earned all the accolades this time around'.
Weasley had proven himself once again as a sportsman to the whole of England. I mean, it wasn't very common to win 5 years in a row...
And even for the Chosen One, making Head Auror in 5 years time was quite the challenge, even without marriage and children.
But the one who had surprised him to least was Miss Granger. He had known from the very start that she would accomplish some of the greatest advancements the world had ever seen, perhaps not as quickly as she had, but he had been right. From that first class, with her hand constantly waving in the air, an expression of grim determination on her slightly rounded face, her hair a bushy mess around her shoulders, he had been certain that she would be the one to truly change things. As others had doubted that a muggle born witch would perform as she had, he had despaired over his inability to properly teach her or praise her the way she rightly deserved. He had frequently found himself wishing she had been a member of his own house, but it was not meant to be.
Of course he had quit teaching after the war. With his obligation to Albus fulfilled, he was finally free to do as he had always wanted. He spent his days locked away in his private lab, doing whatever his heart desired. Usually his time went to the contract that most interested him. He had plenty of gold, galleons could not sway the man. If he deemed the project worthy, it would have his full attention. He spent most of his nights reading, though he had quickly become bored of his own company. His list of hobbies had rapidly grown as he searched for something to truly feed his soul.
It had taken him approximately 2 years to remember one of his favorite escapes; music. If one tried to reach Severus Snape on an evening, one need look no further than his den, a music stand in front of him, his violin in hand. If it was not his violin, it would be the piano. He would lose himself in the beauty of every note, every chord, every melody as he played. He had joined an orchestra, frequently performing in sold out concert halls and opera houses across the continent. It seemed that connecting with the melodies had somewhat of a calming effect on his formerly acerbic tendencies.
And so it was, that he received a call from a conductor of a local ensemble requesting that he replace the rehearsal pianist who had "broken her hand in a most unfortunate accident," for a production of Funny Girl set to begin full rehearsals in the next week.
"I do understand if you are not able. It is quite short of notice, and it would be beneath your talent, but I've tried every company I could think of. We really are in a bit of a bind, Mr. Snape." The man said.
"Well, you ought to consider yourself most fortunate, for I find myself between obligations at the moment. How long do you expect the show to run?" Snape asked.
"Well, it could run for a while. We have quite the talented cast." He said.
"Really? From my understanding of the show, the cast is nearly irrelevant if you don't have the perfect star. The musical really rests on her shoulders. Do you trust her talent that much?" Severus replied.
"I do. You are quite right, I wasn't certain we would find someone to play Fanny well enough to sell the show, but from the moment she walked in to audition, I knew she was special. She was the only choice." The man informed him.
"Well, I don't know if I can cover for the entire run, but I can certainly fill in for the time being. Send me the rehearsal schedule and music and I will be there." He answered. 'This must be some woman' he thought. Fanny Brice was not only an iconic character, but had been the breakout role for the woman who became somewhat of a living legend, Barbra Streisand. 'Well, I suppose I'll see for myself soon enough.'
