For many years now I have been a self proclaimed Harry Potter fanatic. Somewhere along the line I got Kevin to read the first book. Soon he had caught up to me and we started having great conversations about who did what and what was going to happen next. As the movies came out Kevin got use to me always going to them dressed up in my Hogwarts best. Usually I sported a Hermione costume but for The Half Blood Prince I went as a dark witch.
One thing that Kevin learned early on is that I, like so many other women, have a huge crush on Severus Snape (as portrayed by Alan Rickman.) And while I've never really gotten into fan fic it's always been our little joke that he is my Professor Snape and I am his Hermione (detention is usually part of the story.) I have tried for years to get Kevin to dress as Snape for me for Halloween or for a trip to the movies but he's never been up for it. He's just not much of a costume kind of guy. Well last week when we decided that we would see Deathly Hallows part 1 the day after Thanksgiving Kevin actually suggested that we dress as Professor Snape and a very pregnant Hermione (a not uncommon story line in fan fic.) So I hit my favorite Goodwill store and picked up some supplies.
I got a couple of black coats to piece together for Kevin along with a pair of skinny jeans. I got myself a stretchy gray skirt and a new sweater-vest. A couple of hours with a sewing machine and a pair of scissors and this is what we ended up with. Just one more little reason why I love my guy and why we are so perfect together. Because even though he doesn't do costumes he couldn't pass up the opportunity to be the dirty professor that got Hermione into this condition.
