valis2Character: Severus Snape
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Melodrama
Het, Slash or Gen: Gen
Description: Severus thinks about the quills that he owns.
Severus owns four quills.
One is creamy white, simple, from his mother. He keeps it in a box under his bed. He does not touch it.
One is green, tipped with Slytherin silver, a gift from Lucius Malfoy. It is on display, enhancing the mantel.
One is sturdy, well-worn, stained red from marking essays. It is perched familiarly on his desk.
One is black, pulled from the wing of a raven at the cross-roads. The only ink it will accept is his own blood. It has only been used once, on a night he cannot forget, when he traced the Dark Mark on parchment in front of the Dark Lord himself and felt it cutting into his own arm. Sometimes he brings it out, remembers the sting of the tip, the burn of the ink, the hesitation as he traced the serpent's tongue, knowing that one day it would betray him.
