Challenge:#319: "The Cardinal Directions: North".
Word Count: 100
Author's note: In the Russian version of HP Snape is called Северус Снегг (Severus Snegg) which translates as 'North Snow'.
'Sever' was the Russian word for 'north', a fact that amused Severus. To his Siberian neighbours he was known as Mr Norman. While they taught him how to drill holes in the ice and catch fish, he plotted his return to England. Like a Norman conqueror he would vanquish his enemies; in a storm of hail and snow he would smash them.
Winters passed. Severus's hair turned white. They called him Father Snegg now and revered him as a healer. He taught their children how to brew simple ointments, and when news of his acquittal finally reached him, he stayed.
