“You’re back.”
“So are you.”
“I’d heard you were exonerated.”
“Yes.”
shuffling, uncomfortable silence
“So…the Ministry repealed the Werewolf Act.”
“It did. Lucius Malfoy seems to really love his son.”
“That he does.”
silence, clearing of throats
“If you’re not busy, a few of the old Order members are having dinner in Hogsmeade this Saturday.”
“I think not.”
“You’re probably right. Although…”
“Although?”
“I was just on my way to Rosmerta’s…would you…”
“Last time around, you used to ask me to Rosmerta’s at least once a month, and I always said no.”
“Is it still no?”
“I’m not sure.”


Title: Three little statues

Wordcount: 100
Pairing: Lupin/Snape
Challenge: Written for [livejournal.com profile] lupin100's Challenge # 83 See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil

The wooden statues were exquisitely carved. Three little monkeys, each the size of a closed fist, lined up in a plain box. It had arrived by muggle post, with no return address, but Remus knew who it was from.

He took the statues out one by one and carefully displayed them on the mantelpiece - one little monkey covering its mouth, one little monkey covering its ears, and one little monkey covering its eyes.

Remus chuckled to himself, thinking it was an appropriate gift for their non-anniversary. After all, when ones ex was a Snape, subtle was to be expected.

I like both of these! It's impressive in the first one how much backstory you manage to fit in with just 100 words.

I don't normally read snupin, but these were so short, I gave them a try. They're both enjoyable, and I can't really decide which one I like better, although the second one, with mention of a non-anniversary made me grin the most!

Hmmm, I think I like the first one the best. I have to agree with [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] when she said you put a lot of backstory into just 100 words. I also have to say, I loved how you ended that little drabble on a hopeful note. 'I'm not sure' leaves room for so many possibilities. :)
