Challenge: #61, Mirrors
Note: I wrote just one for both [info]lupin100 and [info]snape100 this week.


It must be Snape who's charmed the mirror, for no one else who knows about you would do such a thing. When you look, you see your eyes filling with blood, your face elongating, your mouth opening in a vicious roar. You're horrified by the size of the teeth, and wonder whether Severus tried to record his memories accurately or deliberately exaggerated the worst. But even if he did distort what he saw, you know that you are loathsome, a dark creature. Claws scratch at your face, then turn on the mirror, and as it falls, you see yourself plainly.

Thanks. It would be cruel, but I wouldn't put it past Snape in a bad moment.

But mirrors are distorting, Lupin, you should know that....

Very chilling!

I'm sure he does know that, but he also has moments of believing the worst about himself. Thanks!

Oh, my snupiny heart just broke. But in a good way, because that was a great drabble!

*hugs* I always end up making it all better for these two anyway. Even if OOCness is necessary. Snape could use some OOCness every once in awhile!

WOW! Nice once more this is beautifully dark and the metaphor of looking into one's soul and viewing the demons inside was perfectly done...*EG*

Thanks so much! I don't actually think they're his own demons, but who wants to see someone else's image of oneself like that?

Clever combination of the challenges! (I just went over to check what the [info]lupin100 one was for this week.)

And you're right - of course only Snape would do this.

HOWL! Your ICON!

I like it dark with a happy ending. In this case I just had to presume one later!

I do all my shopping at Rickman Icons. Picked up some Eygptian Maos this afternoon. One is of Snape on a motorcycle. I'll be wearing that for Bike Week. :D

Snape owes him big time. *plots for ways for him to make it up to Lupin* Thanks!

Wonderful drabble. Very chilling.

Is it just me, or does your avatar seem to match the description of what one sees in the mirror? The elogating face, the mouth opening into a vicious roar... Hehehe!!

Hee, and I changed the avatar since you posted this -- I had to have Orgasm!Alan!Face. *veg*

Thank you!
