With Nothing On My Tongue

"And even though it all went wrong/I'll stand before the Lord of Song/With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah…" For Severus Snape, playing music held as just much enchantment as performing actual magic. But how & why did he learn to play the piano? A life told through song as an homage to the greats Leonard Cohen and Alan Rickman. Written as part of the 2017 Snapecase Fest on LJ.
