Prompt: Snape finds/is gifted with an abandoned litter of... no one to pawn them off to. How does he deal?
Word count: 100
Rating: G, angst

Death eaters scattered quickly throughout the house, sidestepping the bodies, to check for unlikely witnesses. All were young, on only their first or second raid and adrenalin's rush covered any deeper response to the kills, be it excitement, or terror, or horror.

Severus stepped into the bedroom and stilled. He'd heard a noise, from that cupboard.

"Alohomora!" The door flew open and revealed, no cowering human, but a box. It contained three mewling kittens, huddled for warmth.

Their mother lay dead alongside her owners downstairs. These three could only starve.

"Avada Kedavra," he whispered, and walked out of the room.

Ouch, now that's a way to turn a drabble prompt dark-ish. But I like it.

Re: A Killing Kindness rose_gialle July 27 2009, 14:17:28 UTC

I'm glad you do. :-) Thank you.

Today, kittens... tomorrow, headmasters. It's a slippery slope, Snape. o.O

Excellent drabble! *applause*

Ouch. Depressing and spot on in terms of character.

Re: A Killing Kindness rose_gialle July 27 2009, 14:12:51 UTC

Thank you very much. :-)

Re: A Killing Kindness schadenkatze July 26 2009, 01:45:26 UTC

Ow, it hurts!

Spot on characterization... let's just hope the kitties are too busy celebrating to read it, eh?

Thank you, it's just right.

Re: A Killing Kindness rose_gialle July 27 2009, 14:11:50 UTC

You're welcome :-). Thanks (and yes, don't tell the kitties!)

Oh, that's exactly how I feel, too.

Thanks. :-)

Oh man, and on the cat's birthday drabblethon? Harsh, Snape. How could you be so cold? *shifty eyes* Really, I love this. Excellent snapshot of Snape's early DE days. *shivers*
