His Screams Fill The Night

by

Daylyn

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.

Well, thank you! There's a lot of pain packed in there. And anguish. Poor Snape.

So what do you think of my new Janet icon?

Lovely icon. So that's what was broadcast (do you know, I never actually saw the picture before). The performance was so contrived, wasn't it.

But it makes for quite the LJ icon. Nice photoshopping (look, I created a new word. Yay!

I can't believe I haven't seen it iconned before. It's perfect for an icon!
