"Fool me Twice, Shame on Me" Severus Snape Drabble
EDIT Wrote a companion drabble, will be submitting both to the community! =D
Title: "...Fool me Twice, Shame on Me."
Challenge #89- Faith
Characters: Snape about Dumbledore
Word Count: 100
Notes: Written for snape100's recent challenge. Haven't posted it yet as even though I had Snape in mind it feels too Dumbledore-centric. *shrug* Probably will once a certain someone gets back online to help give me feedback. XD Post-HBP, introspective, and first time poster! XD Man, who'da thunk I'd do two writing posts in one day?!?
Albus Dumbledore loved surprising people, loved getting a reaction from them. In all my years knowing him, he had only surprised me once before. I once had faith that I would never be surprised by this man again. In doing so, it showed weakness. At least I thought of it as weakness, for showing anything in times of peril meant you didn’t expect it. A calculating mind and a stern face is all I ever showed the man, until today.
Today I lost that faith, when I was surprised to know that Albus knew that faithfully, I would kill him.

Title: "Shadows of Faith"
Challenge #89- Faith
Characters: Snape about Harry
Word Count: 100
Notes: Not as strong a piece I think of the above, but this feels more like Snape. Just wanted to have one that wasn't SS/DD. Sorry if it ends weirdly...
Contrary to everyone’s belief, I do not hate the insufferable boy. How can you hate someone that you’ve put all your faith into? Not that I’d dare say that aloud for anyone to hear. IF there was anyone who would listen. I have faith that Potter -no, Harry- will do what he’s destined to do. So, why all the bloody animosity? I had a role to play, and damn it, I played it well, too well. Who knew he didn’t have Dumbledore’s faith of the good in people? Who knew that after hunting down Voldemort, he’d come after me? Me.
