100-w drabbles.

kascheSome 100 words drabbles, obviously out of any challenge.. I had some ideas that I just had to work out. In a way or another. Not always good. ^^"
This is about.. well, it's quite clear, I think. The first thing to come to my mind has been Remus' speech, then I wrote the context. Hm.. Remus says I make him always play nasty roles.. ^^"
First words
They hadn't talked since the 'incident'. Since the Willow. Since the Big Mistake. Capitalizing is easy, it eases guilty feelings. Their only interaction has been crossing gazes from time to time, always out of coincidence, never for more than few seconds.
Then they talked. Then he talked. Then even less hopes.
"Stay away from me. Don't touch me. Don't talk to me. If you can manage it, don't even breathe if you're anywhere near me. You've gone too far."
Sirius stood speechless. When Remus went past him, their shoulders brushed briefly. "Grow up, Sirius."
No more Padfoot. No more Moony, either?
***
The second one came out of nowhere, really. I had a character in mind when I wrote part of this, probably something in the text may give it away, I don't know.
I don't like it, though.
One hundred
One hundred.
One hundred sheep to count before falling asleep.
One hundred steps to take before being back home.
One hundred smells to catch, none being the one you're searching for.
One hundred apologies to offer, hoping for forgiveness.
One hundred regrets to deal with, as soon as you'll have to.
One hundred things to concern yourself over to avoid thinking.
One hundred thresholds to pass before the last one.
One hundred unexpressed wishes.
One hundred broken promises.
One hundred thoughts.
One hundred pasts.
And none the wiser.
A/N: How many words? Ninety. Yes, you've been cheated. Come on, it happens.
***
It turned out quite weak and quite different from what I wanted it to be, so I'll just say it's not my best. Oh, and it IS 100 words. Count well. XD
This is the last one. It almost wrote itself, right after I saw Final Destination (trite film, btw. But the ending is funny.. XD) It actually has little to do with the film..
Be fun.
Be smart.
Be wary, find witty remarks, make fun - but never get carried away, never let your jokes be offensive - of those around you. The others will be delighted. They will think you're smart; they will think you're fun.
No one care about what you do feel, not when they think you're what you seem.
So, pretend. Play. Believe me, it's fun.
And until the play doesn't stop-
you can be whatever you like.
You wanted to know what does it feel to be popular.
What are you asking for, a manual?
I'm what you can't be.
***
I think it was vaguely inspired by whatshisname, the bully.. (I mentally call him Jack, since the actor is the same as in Dawson's Creek. Funny that there he was gay. ^^") In the Potterverse, I don't know who it could be.. At first I thought of Sirius, but the piece is too bitter. To be Draco, it's too soft. Who, then? Any idea?

Not that I'm biased or anything...>.<;;
First words
I love Sirius's kind of forlorn cluelessness...the questions at the end just seem to hint that he really doesn't totally fathom the enormity of what he's done, which while that doesn't excuse him, it at least shows that there wasn't a vicious malicious intent behind what happened. I loved Remus's dialogue too.

Easy, easy XD No, I actually think it is plausible. Even if.. "but never get carried away, never let your jokes be offensive": this could work only if James' excess are reserved to Snape. ... ..no, that's not true. Probably the pranks toward the Slytherins only made him (them) all the more popular. ^^"

That, and he's afraid that the Marauders will break apart, that Remus will draw back from their group. So, no more Moony, either.
