Prompt: Cat in the rain.
Word count: 100
Rating: A slightly doom-laden G

The tabby cat stands in the doorway, looking pointedly at the wizard sitting behind her, and then back out at the rain, just like every other cat in the world, sure that human beings have power to alter the unalterable.

"You know I can't change it," he says wearily - then cries out, clutching his arm. "There's no going back. We each must see this thing through to the end."

She stares at him a long moment, her gaze more than feline; then she's gone, out into the rainy night, quickly blending into the gloom.

He will not see her again.

Oh no!

*cries*

I can't seem to write these two without a huge sense of doom at the moment. Well, I can't write Snape at all without a huge sense of doom. *sigh*

[sinick]

I love the ambiguity of this - is it Minerva spying on the spy? Does he not see her again because _she_ doesn't come back, or because _he_ doesn't?

Brr.

[luthien]

In war, nothing is certain.

Glad you liked it.

[hibernater]

That's wonderfully layered- so much said in 100 words. The best kind of drabble.

[luthien]

Thanks! Glad it worked for you.

[luthien]

I can't seem to write these two any other way at the moment. *blames JKR*

[kalieris]

Ow - that last line! Very compactly and well written.

[luthien]

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

[luthien]

PS. Also, your icon made me laugh. One of my cats, who is part Siamese, has the nickname Yoda, because when she gets sleepy her ears start to flatten out and... yeah. *g*

[luthien]

Thanks! Glad you liked!

[_hannelore]

Ack... lovely and sad. :(

[luthien]

Thanks. Glad you liked it.
