(a/n - so this is for J.F.C's The Ghosts Challenge!
You can write about a canon ghost, like Myrtle, or about any other character that has died (canon or not) and is currently a ghost. Ex. Harry dies and comes back later as a ghost.
Rules:
1. No due date.
2. The story can be as long as you want, and of any type of rating.
3. If your story has romance, it can be of any type of pairing. (Het, Slash, Femslash, Incest, etc)
4. No pre-writings. (It is okay, If you wish to include this challenge as part of a scene on a new chapter of a multi story)
5. You can combine this with however many challenges/competitions you like.
6. I will try to read and review all of the stories that get posted.
I have also chosen some of the prompts:
Freezing/Coldness
Disturbance
Madness
Haunting
House
Veil
I have decided to do 6 chapters as 6 separate one-shots regarding 6 different characters as ghosts with their prompt. So, here's the first one...)
Looking Into Ghosts
Ghost #1 - Snape - Freezing/Coldness
Snape had always been a cold man. People frequently commented on his frosty nature. And yet now, here he was. Cold. Freezing. A ghost. He made his way through the dungeons, a mournful atmosphere about him. Why hadn't death captured him fully? For it hurt Severus. Hurt him a lot. Everyone and everything who he had ever been close to or fond of had always been thrown back in his face for him to plainly stare at and mourn. He floated into the potions classroom and made his way towards the front desk. The room was definitely colder now he was there. He weaved in and out of the desks, desks he would no longer face whilst teaching. He wanted to, how he wanted to! But he couldn't. Although perhaps he could...
Severus Snape hovered by the blackboard in the cold potions classroom. Students shivered as they walked in, and took their seats. They looked up, and were met with an icy glare.
"Hello students, I am Professor Snape, your potions teacher..." Severus launched into his usual speech.
Severus had always been a cold man. As a ghost, he had felt even colder. Freezing, sub-zero, icy. Now, though, as a ghost, Severus had warmed slightly. For he still had his love and his life: teaching. The students seemed disgruntled at his continuation of his post. Secretly though, they were glad. Glad to have their cold potions master back.
For Severus Snape was a cold man. And cold isn't always a bad thing to be.
