Notes: I have a confession to make: this probably wasn't what you were expecting. I looked through you interests, decided you liked Snape and went pretty much down that route.
Drabble is vaguely humerous (as requested), scary only if you have a naturally nervous disposition and not at all romantic. It has no title except the unoffical "Severus sulks about Halloween" and i admit the ending is there to add..... scariness *headinhands*
On that note: Severus Snape had never been particularly fond of Halloween. This wasn’t entirely surprising, Severus Snape was not particularly fond of anything, but for Halloween he reserved a loathing usually only employed for Christmas, Easter, his own parents, James Potter and/or Sirius Black.
It was not Halloween’s fault really. In principal it was a remarkably inoffensive festival (compared to the ghastly false cheer of Christmas) but it was never allowed to be a sombre recollection of those who had passed away. No, whilst at home Halloween had the honour of being the only day his father lifted the wards around their house, making it visible to the brightly coloured muggle children passing by. Severus, a studious child even at eight, had found his reading constantly interrupted by the screaming.
It was highly irritating.
At Hogwarts the situation had only been made worse by the presence of Black and Potter, who apparently believed Halloween was an extension of April Fools Day: a holiday that made it “all right” to humiliate him as much as possible.
He fingered the brand on his forearm: now a professor he could chose not to attend the festivities. Severus savoured the silence.
The door behind him opened.
