Author Notes:

Oh Dear. Can't find the time to write a full-length story anymore. ::sigh:: So, in order to write anything at all (obsession!), and because I discovered the bliss of shortness, I decided to post a collection of drabbles. Which I hope to update frequently.

Yap had a very hard time with the betas. ("Perfection, thy name is drabble.") :-)

Harry Potter belongs to JKR. And as always, I hope you like and enjoy!

Truth be told

Characters: Snape, Harry

Challenge: Veritaserum (100 words)

-----------------------------

"How about asking -"

"I am asking. Veritaserum just makes it more -"

"Fun?"

Harry glared down at Snape. "I'm not you." Snape glared back ... reluctantly, Harry noticed. "Tell me!"

Suddenly an image appeared in Harry's mind. He saw Snape. Snape ... redeemed ... a good man.

"... Potter!"

Harry blinked.

"What - is - your - question?"

"What?"

Snape looked at him oddly. "You want to know if I'm a traitor, is that it?" He sneered. "If that's what you fear most -"

"No," Harry shook his head, but the image wouldn't go away, "what I fear most is ... that perhaps you're not."



Miscalculation

Characters: Snape, Lupin (slash, mildly graphical)

Rating: PG-13

Challenge: Snape and sex (100 words)

Time Period: Snape's seventh year

-----------------------------

It wasn't what he'd expected.

He moaned when his lips were gently forced apart.

He just had wanted to -

He tried to bite it down the next time but failed as the kiss was deepened.

- teach the wolfboy a lesson.

He was easily pinned to the ground and Remus started to breathe words into his ear.

To make him ... pay.

His voice was even more arousing than his hands or his mouth or ...

Perhaps he shouldn't have taken the Polyjuice,

... the words were just -

because he'd never expected it to ...

"Sirius."

... hurt.



Things

Characters: Snape, Harry (slash, no details)

Rating: PG

Words: 100

Challenge: Snape and Harry

-----------------------------

Severus Snape had a secret passion: lists.

Like for things he wanted to do but never did, things he tried out but didn't like, food, enemies ... His favourites were the 'Marauder's Payback List', the 'McGonagall Files', the 'Black List' and the one he'd just fished out from underneath the 'Things To Hate In General' list.

"What's that?" Warm hands gently stroked along his neck and shoulders. "'1. Arrogant, 2. Not too bright ... 15. The hair!'" A soft laugh and a kiss. "Do you have a list for everything?"

"Mmm - especially for the things I love to hate."
