Description Started out with a litttle doodle, and ended up with this.

What if Evelyn had been a witch, instead of a muggle-born squib (for those not familia with my AU canon, a muggle born squib is a genetic abnomality, in which a child of muggle parents has the magical gene but it´s only partially manifested, leading to squib-like characteristics, ie sensibility to magic coupled with inability to perform magic)

So had Miss Evelyn Teresa Black´s magical gene been fully manifested, she would be a muggle born witch and, obviously sorted into Ravenclaw. Seen as she is only three years younger than Severus, she would fit right into the Marauder´s generation, ie, the 70s generation...which gave me the perfect excuse to draw some 70s hair I kinda failed tough...

For those of you following Evelyn´s story, feel free to conjecture as to what it would mean for Severus, Lily and the Marauders if Lyn had gone to school with them

What program do you use to color your stuff? I'm trying to find a way to color my drawings digitally without having to use a tablet.

Also, I love this, it's awesome!

Thank you so much! (for the too )

I always use GIMP to color all my pictures. It´s a free alternative to photoshop that you can download on-line.Now it doesn´t have all the option sai or photoshop have, but it´s pretty darn great whe you get used to it

How do you leave the pencil marks in though, using layers without having to do anything complicated. I have GIMP, just never bothered to actually LEARN how to use it xDDD

JosieCarioca In reply to Madison5150 [2012-07-19 22:40:25 +0000 UTC]

Yep,layers. You create a new layer than set it yo multiply(so it will be transparent) and color in this one, leaving the pencil layer under it.

Oh! Forgot to mention: it´s also better if you make various layers, one for each "block"of coloring (like, one for the hair, another for the skin etc...), just be careful so that the color don´t overlap too much.

Like US!!! I don´t think Evelyn could ever be sorted into any other house, could she?

Okay, are you familiar with Bones? I'm writing a Bones/Harry Potter story. I totally want Lyn to meet Tempe! Tempe's good friends with Sev.

Severus and Evelyn would probably not have socialized at Hogwarts. Three years age difference can mean a lot when you're in school. I certainly can't see her interfering with the Marauders -- maybe if she were three years older than them, but not three years younger.

On the other hand, Ravenclaw and Slytherin are sister Houses...

JosieCarioca In reply to janach [2012-07-19 21:47:45 +0000 UTC]

Risking to set myself out for some heavy spoilers...In this alternate reality is quite probable(I´d say CERTAIN) that Evelyn´s older brother, Paul, would have lived to enter Hogwarts (he died at age 11 in regular chronology) and if that was the case he would have been sorted into Slytherin (honouring the Black family tradition ) Now, Paul and Sev are only one year apart in age (Paul being born in 1961), so they would have certainly socialized (actually Paul would have been a somewhat rare case of a muggle born slytherin, and Sev being a half-blood, both in a house where lots of students favour blood purity, seems reasonable that they would gravitate towards each other and even become friends). Paul was very close to his sister and would continue to be in school(as you said, Ravenclaw and Slytherin are sister houses, so different houses wouldn´t interfer much in their relationship), so he might be an element of connection between Severus and Evelyn...BUT I completely agree with you, even with Paul in the picture, three years IS a big difference when you´re young,so Severus would see Evelyn more like "his housemate´s little sister" and not an "equal", I imagine Severus would like her all right since 1)she´s Paul´s sister 2) she´s a Ravenclaw and a "nerd" like himself 3) she wouldn´t care much at all for the Marauders (who are older than her and just not the kind of guys Evelyn would be paying any attention to, except to remark on how moronic they are)

I doo speak too much...sorry

Nothing in canon says Muggleborns can't be Slytherins. I would expect Muggleborns and half-bloods to have more fire-in-the-belly ambition than any rich pureblood born with a silver wand in his hand. Much more the House of insecure mudblood Hermione Granger and social-climbing half-blood Severus Snape than it is of Draco Malfoy, who shows no real ambition because he thinks he’s there already.

Re Sister Houses: To my mind Slytherin and Ravenclaw are the "Head" Houses, Houses of the intellect, while Gryffindor and Hufflepuff are "Heart" Houses, Houses of the emotions. If not for the warped political climate of 1990s wizarding Britain, I would expect Slytherin and Ravenclaw to support each other at Quidditch matches and other instances of inter-House rivalry. I myself am a Ravenclaw with Slytherin envy.

Indeed nothing in canon says muggleborns can´t be Slytherins(which is why Paul would have been one had he lived), but it´s also canon that Slytherin is a house with a fair amount of blood supremacists in them. As for the sorting, I completely agree with you. Sometimes the sorting hat is just way off (Fools like Crabbe and Goyle in the cunning house?). I imagine that the hat takes personal wishes into account a little too much...which sorta explains how people of the same family end up in the same houses so frequently, and how some people just seem completely inadequate for the house they´ve been sorted into(imo Dumbledore should have been a Slytherin, and Hermione would make a fine Ravenclaw.)

I´m also a Ravenclaw with a lot of love for Slytherin and I completely agree with you. Ravenclaw and Slytherin are sister houses, which is precisely why I gave Evelyn so many Ravenclaw characteristics, because I knew it would make her a fair match for Severus. Too bad there was so much anti-slytherin sentiment going on in Harry´s generation(and possibly the generation before him). Undoubtely this sort of expectation contributed to the number of Slytherin dark wizards. If society expects the worst from you, it can be hard to escape the stigma. That´s why in my story Soren, Albus, Scorpius and Lavinia will deal with a lot of anti-Slytherin sentiment in their school days and for the post-war generation of Slytherins, proving their house isn´t just "the house of feath eaters" will become a question of honor.(Most of the next-generation heroes in my story are slytherins, and some Gryffindors will be showing their dark side.)

Crabbe and Goyle belong in Hufflepuff, not because they're stupid (stupidity is no more a defining characteristic of Hufflepuff than is softness or compassion) but because of their loyalty to Draco.

I'm working on a series of Sortings for an Alternate Universe in which the Sorting Hat is a bit more subtle, having been Salazar's kippa rather than Godric's wizard's hat. Goyle goes into Hufflepuff due to his loyalty, and purely for the sake of splitting up the pair I put Crabbe in Gryffindor. He IS reckless enough to call up Fiendfyre when he can't control it.

I cab totally see this~ There are a lot of ways that Evelyn and my OC, Ezsmarelda are similar, but then again, great minds think alike, don't they?~

ArtistLucy In reply to JosieCarioca [2012-07-19 23:22:46 +0000 UTC]

But they have notable differences, too. Evelyn, as you said before, is a muggleborn squib. Ezsmarelda is a pureblood witch. Evelyn has brown hair and brown eyes. Ezsmarelda has red hair and green eyes. Evelyn is very muscular in some places. Ezsmarelda is very "sexy" and petite and has a slender figure everywhere on her body. She's also 2 years older than Evelyn. Those are just to name a few differences. There are many more. ^_^

I love it! No, you did not fail with the 70s hair! It looks like the same hairstyle that Jaclyn Smith had on "Charlie's Angels!"

Lyn at Hogwarts? Well, she still ends up with Severus, but I see Remus crushing on her in a big way!

JosieCarioca In reply to Gryffgirl [2012-07-19 21:30:20 +0000 UTC]

Omg! Remus!0.0 I could have seen Sirius coming on to her (because hey! hot muggle cousin! )But Remus does seem quite plausible (even tough he´s so NOT Evelyn´s type ) If Paul was alive in this alternative reality he would certainly have tried to get his sister and Sev together (Paul would have been a Slytherin and he totally might become Severus´pal)

YAY! CHARLIE´S ANGELS!Thank you so much! that´s exactly what I was going for!! I so wanna mess up Lyn´s hair here (next one I just might draw a pic of Lyn with epic 80s hair, just for the lulz! )
