Our suspicions have been confirmed. It wasn't a very good breakthrough after all.
Why is Snape yelling at Lupin? Oh, this is awful.

The question on my mind is: Is he snapping at Remus because he's enraged and wants to focus on being enraged, or does the "I will not talk to you right now" mean that his anger has something to do with Remus? He's said it twice now.
Also: Wibble.
| hepcatpixie @ November 15 2003, 21:54:00 UTC |
I don't think it has anything to do with Remus, really. It might be he's just panicked. I sometimes get the same way when I'm freaked out over something really really bad. But I'm not sure. It could be anything.
| jenicomprispas @ November 15 2003, 21:58:25 UTC |
Oh my god, it's moving so fast tonight...Remus' post to Dumbledore is timestamped one minute after Snape told him to get lost. WIBBLE.

Ah. This is horrible! And Sirius seems to know something, why isn't anyone stopping Remus!?
(parent)| jenicomprispas @ November 15 2003, 22:03:08 UTC |
I think they're trying to prevent Herminone from being eaten or something. It does seem like Sirius knows something. Both about where Remus might be going and why Snape is freaking out. Hopefully Remus isn't leaving like..Now.

Well, he might just be getting started! And he does have Hermione to think about!

:D Too much Buffy.
Okay, something is definetly off with Snape...I mean more than just anger-management problems. Wasn't there a thing when he first found out that Hermione had botched a potion where he was missing memories? Or something odd like that...What happened there? Did we find out? And is it connected? *goes digging back a few posts*
| redbowties @ November 15 2003, 22:52:51 UTC |

Ah, report back what you find! I was looking around; in her orginal post, Hermione seemed to make it off as she mentioned it before, so where's the post?

I am up late and bored with some free time- and thought I would weigh in though I haven't posted in ages. I had a thought- which is probably very much off, but eh. According to Snape's entry, Hermione's mix-up occurred sometime in April:
It appears the daft child sneaked into my laboratory after-hours in April of last term to brew a wit-sharpening potion to further her incessant studying.
And it was May first that Snape turned Remus into a woman http://www.livejournal.com/users/luperc

That is brilliant.
However, how in the world can NA manage to connect these two events? Heck, I'm still in mind-boggled mode attempting to figure what scenarios could have possibly gotten Snape into such a rage.
In any case, that's definitely something to think about.

You know, I can't figure this out.
The only thing I can think of that would make Snape freak out so bad is something concerning his missions with spying on Voldie.
If something interferes with that kind of activity(thought I'm not sure how a potion would do this).
That seems like the only thing he would get so upset about.
|
dry_your_eyes @ November 15 2003, 23:58:59 UTC |
maybe it is connected with Snape's mission. after all we still don't know anything about it (and i doubt we will). But I suspect it's somehow about Remus too

| beadgalsarita @ November 16 2003, 00:48:18 UTC Humm... |
I went looking through some old posts of Snape's regarding the botched potion and noticed a few things:
First of all, Snape has becoming more and more bi-polar in his behavior towards lupin.
http://www.livejournal.com/users/potion
He also seems to have been getting very worried about the potion as of last thursday.
http://www.livejournal.com/users/potion
and then in his last personal journal post he states:
"I will test it again. This cannot be right. I cannot have"
In my reading of that the "I cannot have" is what really has me thinking. It appears to me that he has contracted some sort of illness/condition and he places the blame at Hermione's door. I can't begin to fathom what it may be, but this definitely leaves some things to think about.

You know this idea could be close to the truth, the I can not have could be a bit of denile.
he might be going thru the stages people go thru when something major happens.
first is Shock
then Anger
then Denile
then I think it's ignoring it, or excepting it.. I cant remeber them all.
I know blaming it on others is a big one, cause my brother did that when he got sick.
oh gawd, I wont wibble. well I"ll try not too, I just hope something happens soon so I wont miss it when I move soon and have no net access.
| orimornie @ November 16 2003, 01:04:05 UTC Re: Humm... |
That makes the most sense to me.
Especially considering he couldn't remember when the potion brewing happened in April...
| beadgalsarita @ November 16 2003, 01:12:33 UTC Re: Humm... |
what leads me to believe that it's an illness/condition is basically the lack of a period after "I cannot have" implying that it is an incomplete thought. Snape is a meticulous writer and always has correct spelling, punctuation, grammer, et.al. and the failure to place the period at the end of that statement implies that he did not write down the complete thought.
It's times like these that I wish a complete encyclopedia of magical herbs and their properties existed, since looking into the effects of elderwood on the human body would possibly be very enlightening.
~S
| beadgalsarita @ November 16 2003, 01:19:52 UTC Re: Humm... |
humm..have done a cursory search on elderwood. It seems that elderwood should never be burned b/c it will bring a curse upon the purson that does such.
"Elderwood, the Lady’s tree, burn it not or cursed you’ll be" from the The Wiccan Rede
"Burning elder wood is dangerous since it invites the Devil." from Faeiries and their Favorite Plants
interesting indeed.
| orimornie @ November 16 2003, 01:21:51 UTC Re: Humm... |
I took the "I cannot have" to mean something happened and he was shocked, as in "I cannot have made that mistake" or something along those lines.
But your explaination makes much more sense...
Then again, as my dirty mind just put it... what happened that night that he doesn't remember? "I cannot have. . . "

tymbrimi @ November 16 2003, 01:47:18 UTC Question: |
Okay, one thing that has always confused me about NA is how literally we're supposed to take the time stamps on the comments/posts.
Because if they mean something, Lupin posted "I'll do it" one minute after Snape said "Go away Lupin go away." O_O
Even if times don't mean anything, I really can't see Lupin's sudden agreement as unrelated to this big drama...

Oh my holy hell, what on earth is GOING ON? Oh god am seriously wibbling right about now. Snape has utterly lost it, Lupin is taking this WAY seriously which means it doesn't seem like it's just Snape overreacting, and in the middle of all this potion debacle Lupin has accepted what appears to be a dangerous mission - was this propmted by something to do with the potion? Or is it separate? Oh, NA, you are killing me *hates* *loves*

tymbrimi @ November 16 2003, 01:58:53 UTC |
*points to her comment above*
We are totally on the same wavelength my friend. I was wibbling all alone here and wondering why nobody was mentioning this!
I'm just hoping it wasn't a "I'll do it, because there is no longer any reason for me not to" kind of acceptance. I don't want Lupin and Snape's relationship to be overrun by their sense of duty either.
Also, Sirius's "are you sure?" definitely implies this cannot be taken back. Hopefully it wasn't an emotional decision...
| catiadoodle @ November 16 2003, 01:58:44 UTC |
Mmmm... I don't understand...
So Hermione brewed some potion is Snape's lab, and Snape or somebody else polyjuiced as Snape, caught her, right?
So Hermione went back to her dormitory before she could drink the potion, right? And anyway she probably wouldn't have drunk it since she knew she had made a mistake.
So my question is: Why would Snape drink this potion? He probably understood that it went wrong and was not a wit sharpening potion just by looking at its color or something, just as Hermione probably did... He knows better than to try on himself an unknown potion, doesn't he?
So was it really Snape? Because there's this whole memory loss thing to consider too: Snape has no recollection of this incident. Then again, this could be an effect of the mysterious potion...
Anyway, admitting that Snape did drink the potion, could it be possible that its effects on him allowed in some way the Voldemort attack in June? Or maybe it just resulted in Snape losing a part of his abilities (and thus turning Lupin in a woman...)
I'm at a loss.

asciian @ November 16 2003, 03:40:07 UTC |
I would assume that, in her state, Hermione wouldn't have known that she had made a mistake until she'd slept, woken up, and thought about it.
My assumption was that the potion had some sort of effect of making things happen as Hermione wanted them - she obviously wouldn't have wanted Snape to take the point off Gryffindor?
If this is true (and it's a long shot), then could it be responsible for other things?
I don't wibble, but I'm interested to know what's going on ;)
| ekaterinn @ November 16 2003, 09:36:30 UTC |
Ah! Someone finally said this! That what I was wondering too...Snape shouldn't have just drank an unknown potion...if he did, this is all his fault (whether he did it back in April or now). But maybe the potion is strong enough that just the fumes off of it had an effect? After all, Snape did lose his memory for that night in April...

jacay @ November 16 2003, 11:11:24 UTC |
Maybe Snape stored it somewhere and thought it was something else when he drank it? Or maybe he gave it to someone else? Or maybe someone else drank it and it somehow affected him? I don't know.

Gah! I don't check up for a day and this happens... whatever the hell this is in the first place!
On the other hand, Dumbledore via McGonagall has told Snape to appologize (snort) for his 'outlandish' behaviour like that will happen. Surely it couldn't have been that bad then... could it?
My immediate thought was that Snape has managed to contract lycanthropy something, or been altered in some other way as others have said... Then I concocted a crackpot theory it occured to me that Hermione botched a wit-sharpening potion, something that I'm guessing affects your mental state (not an intelligence boost, but a clearing of the head). If the mystery potion hadn't been altered too much from its base (and given that the changes made were accidental, it's likely the MP is very similar to the WSP), I'm guessing the Mystery Potion affects the ingestor/inhalor's mental state quite negatively. Perhaps it works like an Oblivate, or creates a highly altered mental state.
Then again, Snape said Lupin could come down and *see* for himself, which implies that the effect of the potion is visible. Ah, what do I know. Wish they'd hurry up and give us some more clues already!
