Glaring fiercely, Hermione abruptly stood up from the bench and stormed up to her professor. She handed over the volume clutched in small, white-knuckled hands. He took it with an elegant swish as their eyes met for a brief, arresting moment.
Her heart thudded awkwardly and then, with a snort, sharp nod of his head, he summarily dismissed her. Yet, just that moment in time had been enough. When she was no longer so livid with her friends, she would reflect back on what had just occurred inside her when her eyes had met those fathomless pools of darkest onyx.

Severus took in every sign of the fury radiating from the young witch as she approached. Their eyes met and he witnessed, with a startling clarity, the live fire in the depths of her eyes. With a nod of sudden unease, he dismissed her.
He moved forward and his arms went up to elegantly adjust his cuffs. He grabbed the two boys’ heads, roughly facing them to their work. Turning away, he was no longer certain the action was only for his amusement and not some irrational retribution on behalf of the girl with the wide eyes of chocolate fire.
TITLE: Pointy Hoods AUTHOR: Jessi, princessjessia (Disclaimer) FANDOM: Harry Potter CHARACTERS: Death Eaters, Dark Lord, Rodolphus, Lucius RATING: PG WORD COUNT: 100 WARNINGS: insanely stupid humor, vague mention of death NOTES: After viewing the ridiculous hoods for the GoF movie, x_queenc_x said to me “I’m just waiting for the fic where one of them bows before the DL and POKES HIS EYE OUT.” This drabble was born, 100 words exactly right off the cuff.
The followers of the Dark Lord gathered closely around their master.
“Master,” the young Death Eater before the dark wizard murmured as he bowed his head reverently… and poked the most powerful man in the wizarding world in the eye with his abnormally pointy robe hood.
With two words, the young follower, test subject for the updated attire, was no more as the dark wizard turned one angry red eye, the other covered by his hand, to the rest of the group.
“Back to the drawing board on the hoods?” Rodolphus asked Lucius quietly.
The blonde just sighed and nodded.
TITLE: The Colors of Malfoy AUTHOR: Jessi, princessjessia (Disclaimer) FANDOM: Harry Potter CHARACTERS: Lucius/Narcissa RATING: PG WORD COUNT: 100 NOTES: Post OotP, during events of HBP (but not spoilerish). This is only my second 100 word drabble. xD
White on white, fingers tangled.
Pale skin against equally pale skin; one, tinted gray from captivity, the other, lacking pale rose from worry.
Blond on blonde, heads bowed.
Pale hair against equally pale hair; one, hued near white and rustling like straw from a lack of care, the other, golden and soft as the words they speak.
Pink on pink, love communicated.
Pale lips against equally pale lips; one, rough and cracked from a dry, cold air that permeates, the other, supple and smooth and seeking to offer comfort.
White. Blonde. Pink. Separated for all time by bars of gray.
TITLE: Words AUTHOR: Jessi, princessjessia (Disclaimer) FANDOM: Harry Potter CHARACTERS: Lucius RATING: PG WORD COUNT: 100 WARNINGS: Vaguely HBP spoilerish NOTES: This is my first 100 word drabble.
With a thud, a worn newspaper settled on the filthy floor. He knew it was at least a day old, but this was a privilege few received here. For this one thing, his name still meant something.
Thin, pale fingers reached for it, worn silver eyes greedily scanning the parchment. Yet, he went no further than the headline before drawing a heaving gasp of air into a captivity-weakened chest.
The salvation he had hoped for, the chance his closest friend had once received, was gone…
One word had brought this fate, two words had sealed it.
Guilty. Avada Kedavra.
“Cissa dear,” a low voice next to her said.
Narcissa, startled, screamed in fright, turning to face the man who had entered so silently.
“Severus Snape, for twenty five years you have been trying to end my life by sneaking up on me. I truly think you wish make it so my darling husband is left alone.”
He settled into the chair next to her, simply smirking.
“He would not be alone, Cissa. He would have his friends, such as I,” he said.
“Oh, would he?” she said, eyeing him. “So that is your game, to do me in and steal my husband?”
Severus began to laugh in that low baritone of his, the sound rich and very rarely heard.
“Well?” Narcissa said, looking a bit more suspicious.
