Clouds clogged up the sky as a crisp, bitter wind lacerated through the Black Forest making the leaves crinkle and shatter. Dark, beady eyes analyzed the area that sheltered them, as feet snapped branches that lie forgotten on the ground. Farther they penetrated the forbidden place the darker life fell as company died into piercing silence. The nothing overwhelmed his body as the betrayal- the hurt- snaked around his heart and stabbed it with its thorns. How did Black ever ponder up an idea such as that? What did he ever do to deserve that treatment?
The way Potter strutted into the Shrieking Shack, with that smug semblance, to save the pitiful Severus Snape from the werewolf, which he was not qualified to defeat. The sound of Black's sheer laughter proving his insanity, the fat oaf chuckling darkly along, and Potter's eyes taunting poor Snivellus and waking him up to the fact that he had fallen for it; the entire night was planned to make a fool out of him. Well, never again, Severus vowed, would that happen.
He vowed it to the dancing forest that caved in around him, vowed it to the on-coming rain that would regenerate life, vowed it to his demons that crawled beneath his skin. One day, Potter and his gang would eat their pride, regret ever messing with him, and bow down to him. He wasn't weak and he wasn't a fool and they wouldn't trample him anymore.
As he withdrew from the protection of the trees, the moonlight struck his eyes as he scowled at the Whomping Willow and a nefarious smirk crept on to his pallid face. One day, the tables would turn. One day, he'd prove himself worthy- he'd prove himself better than them and he'd make sure they knew it.
Author's Note: If it wasn't clear, this was set after Sirius tricked Severus into going in the Whomping Willow and Skrieking Shack while Remus was a werewolf. James came in and rescued him from Remus and the incident didn't only leave Severus upset, but Remus felt like a dangerous being and James was upset with Sirius putting a strain on their friendship. It was the turning point from James' maturity.
On other notes, I felt as though this would be a good way to start a drabble a day story and I hope you enjoy it. Reviews are cherished, and I try to reply to everyone, however, occasionally I forget. I'm human though, so please don't take that against me. I hope you enjoy.
