800 Friends Drabble: Razed Hope, for tkurogrym

[iulia_linnea]

I took prompts to celebrate my flist's hitting the 800 friends mark, and I'll be posting the results as I complete the drabbles.

7. tkurogrym prompted me with: Snape & Mad-Eye: recovery, lost, fire.

That's so sad. I've often wondered why Moody was so "over the top," even for a wizard. I too have the impression that his personal physical losses were due to his fanaticism, not the cause of it.

Well done.

Some fucked up shit went down for Mad-Eye, I agree (just not as eloquently, it seems *snorts*). Thank you, Fo!

Oh, and I have something I'm sending you, but don't open it until you're home. *g*

Oh, so very dark and just a little bit chilling. Interesting to have this as backstory, explaining Moody's bitter and unwavering pursuit of Dark wizards. And, a grim as it is, I can't help but love that Severus finds a little bit of pity, as well as relief that he can't experience the same utter loss of losing a child. Very Snape, to my mind. You did a brilliant job working in all those prompts; I'm very impressed! (And distinctly jealous about the title. Great play on words!)

Thank you. :D

I'm not sure that Severus would handle losing a person so completely his as I imagine he'd believe a child would be-and perhaps he feels a bit of kinship with Moody because of the hyper-awareness they share. I'm glad that you prompted me with for this one (and that you didn't want slash *g*).

My husband's punning rubs off on me; happily, this time that turned out to be good. ;)
