Enjoy!Summary: Severus Snape and Queenie Goldstein are the most opposite characters in the Harry Potter universe. Snape is a teacher of potions at Hogwarts and isn't very friendly to people. Snape can also read the minds of his enemies. Queenie has a very bubbly personality and is a great chef. Queenie and her sister Tina live in an apartment in New York City. Queenie is a natural legilimence. Can you spot any similarity? At first glance you may say no, but there is: mind reading. Both Snape and Queenie can read minds. They also happen to be related. Here's why. Legilimency is only acquired by family. It can be learned, but not nearly as well. Second, there is play on words. The grandmother of a prince is a queen. Snape is the Half-Blood Prince. Could that mean that Queenine, the Queen, is Snape's grandmother? Lastly, the lives of Snape and Queenie are vey similar. They couldn't be around children for one reason or another, and neither family was wealthy. When they got older, both had a gap that needed to be filled. Snape was lonely and without friends. When he met Lily, someone who was just learning about being a witch, Snape jumped at the chance to be a teacher. Queenie was in the same situation. Her mind reading got her into lots of trouble. When she met Jacob, a person who needed something exciting in his life, Queenie felt like she was appreciated and loved. In the end, both chose love over life. When Grindelwald showed the crowd at the colosseum his visions, Jacob was scared of another war. Queenie stepped up and joined Grindelwald to stop it. Snape spent all his life protecting Lily. And in the end, his gave his life for her, too.Gmail: [email protected]: @thepotterdiscussionWebsite: https://www.thepotterdiscussion.buzzsprout.comHaving anything you want to hear or say?
