Title: Howling Mad, II
Challenge: Howlers
Word Count: 100
In retrospect, being roused by Poppy Pomfrey’s voice screaming, “SEVERUS SNAPE! WHERE HAVE YOU GONE? I KNOW VERY WELL YOU’RE ALIVE! THE CHILDREN ARE GOING OUT OF THEIR MINDS!” probably saved his life. Medications could only work so fast, especially when one factored in Nagini’s venom, and it would have been easy to slip into a permanent sleep.
So the Howler saved his life.
That did not make the ringing in his ears any easier to bear as he slowly levered himself upright, or diminish the pleasure he took in blowing the damned thing to bits with a well-aimed “OBLITERATE!”
