Drabbles: 05-05-31 -- 05-06-19
I think my phobia for flying sent my muse into hiatus. I want to write more, but I can't. I'm now open to requests *points to the right*. Hopefully, I can write some thrillers on the plane (a.k.a. TEh H0rR0R), probably involving pilot!Sev and air-hostress!Hermione. Anyway, these are the drabbles I've written in the past three weeks:
Drabble count: 4
Fluff count: 2
Angst count: 2
Title: It's an Elitist World, Severus
Rating: G
Challenge: Lucius wants Hermione
Characters: Lucius, Hermione, Severus
For: grangersnape100
"I want her, Severus," said Lucius, with waning patience. "I will have her."
"You can't." Severus shot him a venomous glare. Unfortunately, its effect was minimal on the blond man. "Take me instead."
Lucius looked at him from head to toe, then turned away, disgusted. "Look," he said, "you're making this bigger a deal than it is. Let me talk to her. She'll surely agree to--"
At this moment, Hermione came into the room.
"Lucius!" she exclaimed joyfully, walking over to him.
As they chatted, Severus retreated to the couch, hurt. Who wants to join their anagram club anyway?
Title: The First and the Last Time
Rating: PG-13
Challenge: childhood
Characters: Severus, Snape Sr.
For: grangersnape100
He offered the vial to the great man, solemnly, with both hands.
He swept down, snatching the poison from his tiny fingers. He glanced at the giant's face, guessing. He trembled as the stopper was lifted with a pop.
The man sniffed with his large nose--one that his own was a replica of.
"You made this?"
He nodded, hope barely concealed in his eyes.
"Passable, boy."
He couldn't help it; he beamed. Severus felt like he was the happiest child in the world.
Until the next day, when he found his only friend, his owl, on the ground, dead.
Title: Beauty is in the Eyes of the Beholder
Rating: PG
Challenge: There are worse things I can do
Characters: Harry/Tonks
For: grangersnape100
He watched carefully the face inches from his. Her bangs were brown, her skin was pale, and her small nose was rubbing against his. She once told him that this was what she would look like if she wasn't a metamorphmagus. Overcame with feelings, he pulled away.
"Harry?" Tonks opened her eyes, puzzled.
He shook his head. "Here I am, snogging my crush, who's seven years my senior, in the Headquarters. It just feels... surreal, I guess."
She snorted. "C'mon, there're worst things you can do." She leaned in, asking for another kiss--
--and promptly fell off the table.
Title: The Only Thing that can Hurt Me
Rating: PG
Challenge: pride
Characters: Severus, Hermione
For: grangersnape100
He was scorned all his life. He was the worthless child to his father, Snivellus to the intolerable Marauders, the hated Potions Master to his students, the distrusted traitor-turn-spy to the Order. It didn't matter, no. Stinging comments and glances thrown his way could not hurt him anymore. Everyday he held his head high, robes billowing impressively behind him. His pride couldn't be taken away, not unless...
THUD.
"Sweet Merlin!" a familiar voice exclaimed. "Professor, are you hurt?"
Cursing the moving stairs, he picked himself up as dignifiedly as possible.
"Only my pride," he spat to Hermione and strode away.
