His Screams Fill The Night

Here's my first 100-word drabble. It was written with arrmaitee.

His Screams Fill The Night

by

His screams fill the night.

The boy lies in the infirmary, pale in the moonlight; his lightening-shaped scar bleeding dark red.

Albus senses my approach. “Severus, how are…?” he falters.

I gaze into his cold, opaque eyes. I want to cry out… to make him taste Lupin’s spattered blood and witness my lover’s silent stoic stare as I bludgeoned him in service to the Dark Lord.

“Fine, Headmaster,” I reply instead.

“Severus,” he utters uneasily. “I didn’t mean…”

I walk away, unwilling to hear his false platitudes. He will never understand.

Only the screaming boy and I know the pain.

Thank you. The problem is that the story I have in mind actually takes place after the drabble -- and it eventually becomes a Snape/Harry story. I think I'm going to have to write it though... it's been burning in my head for months now... I just have to sort it and actually write it (easier said than done).

I agree with you about Snape/Remus. That's one of my absolute favorite pairings. I'm sure I'll touch on their relationship in the story I'm planning, and then maybe I can write their story after that.

And I absolutely love David Eddings. It's a shame he's not more popular... I love his characters. They're so much fun. And Ce Nedra is a bit of a bitch... but she always does the right thing in the end.

Thanks again for you comments.
