Severus Snape and Lucious Malfoy go to a Night Club in the 1960s i was bored when i wrote this idk if ill continue

The bouncer looked Lucius up and down with a frown, then held his hand about a foot over the boy's head. "Forget it, Blondie. You must be this tall to ride this attraction."

He turned his eyes towards Severus, whose arms were folded over his little chest and whose face bore a scowl that might one day become truly mighty. "And you, you scrawny thing, quit making that face. It's not going to make your age go into the double digits any faster."

The bouncer shook his head. "A bit of advice, boys: next time, at least have gone through puberty before trying to sneak into a club."

Even the darkest skies have their stars. But what if the stars die; does the darkness just fade away? With the turn of each page,I can feel the stars burning out again as they did so long ago, and I fear,when I reach the last page, I may not have any left

...I'm stumped. Can anyone else deduce what this story is supposed to be about? (Reading it didn't help much.)

"The boy reminded him of a heptagon. Hyper energy pulled in too many directions."

...what? The only way I know how to compare anyone to a polygon is by calling them "a square". Is this actually a whole class of expressions I wasn't previously aware of? And why is seven the number best representative of "too many"? Wouldn't even more be worse? "The boy reminded him of a tetracontagon." Yeah, I like that.

The odd thing is, Alan Rickman could legally purchase liquor from 1967 onward, yet he manages to make Severus Snape appear to be in his early 40s at most. It's all done with potions, I tell you.

Eh, I dunno. I've always been a poor judge of age, but mostly he comes across as late 40s to about 50 to me. There are some moments -- he looks particularly young to me in the opening feast in SS, and when he's jabbing his wand into Barty's cheek in GoF. In those I would agree he about pegs late 30s to early 40s. (Of course, in those scenes Severus is supposed to be 31 and 35, but hey.)

I guess that's good for a man who is now almost 62, but still. It's a little odd, because he looks younger in some other contemporarily filmed things, so clearly he's got it in him. I know they didn't want to make Snape too attractive, but it's like they decided to make up for Alan's lack of the ugly stick by letting him look what we would think of as more "his age". ^_-
