The ghosts' of the living

Title: The ghosts'of the living
Words: 100
Rating: PG
Challenge: #23 A ghostly encounter
Characters: Snape/Lupin

The bloody baron had never really intimidated Snape. Blank staring eyes, a gaunt face, and robes covered with mysterious ethereal blood, were not all that frightening, on the larger scale of things.

While walking through his home, a stray brown hair still clinging to his comb, one or two odd books on the shelf in his sitting room, and the teacup that Remus threw across the room when patience seemed pointless, could make his blood boil, in ways the bloody baron could never muster. The ghosts of the living were always somehow much worse than the ghosts of the dead.

Oh, I really like this! The comb! And the teacup, and the hint of violence, anger, and passion... very powerful. Nice job. :)
