Severus and Jack

Description

In some of my previous pics of very young Severus, I have him holding a plush alligator. I figured that Severus' favorite stuffed animal would be some sort of reptile, and as far as that goes, crocodilians seem to be the easiest to come by.

As :iconladymacbeth1755: and I were chatting the other night, we kinna came up with a sort of name and back story to the little guy. His name is 'Jack'. The name came to us because the Portuguese word for alligator is 'jacaré'. Not that little Sev would know that, but Jack is an easy name for a very young child to pronounce.

Eileen picked up Jack at a new toy drive at the local Catholic Church (the one here: [link] ) when Severus was about 3 or 4 years old. We never decided as to whether Severus went with her or not, but he really wanted a toy snake. But the closest thing to it there was this alligator. And so until one fateful summer afternoon in 1969, Jack and Severus remained the best of friends. God only knows how much of Jack's stuffing has been drenched with this poor little boy's tears. :'(
