drabble: vapid. ron.
[vapid] - ron
wordsmith doesn't do weekends, so today's is from m-w. follows theanthropic.
vapid: lacking liveliness, tang, briskness, or force : flat, dull
All the color has drained away.
Ron saw the body. He can't say Harry. He saw the body once, waterlogged and pale like a blind fish. He said, "Where are his glasses? He can't see without his glasses," and while the teachers looked at each other, trying to decide what to say, he turned and was quietly sick down the front of his robes.
"Sorry," people say, vapid and weak. "We didn't know." Ron wants to scream that he didn't either, he didn't know until it was too late, but his voice is underwater.
Friend is too small a word.

my favorite lines are (of course) "Friend is too small a word." and also "...his voice is underwater." and i also loved the bit about the glasses. oooooch. it hurts so good. *weeps*
