Title: Pocket Money
Characters: Severus Snape
Word count: 100 x 2
Challenge: #200 Double Drabble
Rating: PG (a couple unrefined words).
Summary: What would young Severus do if he found a sizable coin on the street?
A/N: So many creative Wizarding swears out there (e.g. "Merlin's merkin", "Circe's tits"), I wanted to make my own. Thus I give you "Faust's bollocks". May you use it in good health.

Severus' black cloak swished behind him as he strode purposefully down Diagon Alley. Being August, it was really too hot for such an outer garment, but it was the newest item of clothing in his whole wardrobe, and he would have felt naked and embarrassed without it. Walking by himself, however, amplified his sense of being stared at, which was not helped by the fact that he did in fact attract the occasional concerned gaze. What business is it of theirs? he thought viciously as he scowled at the ground. I'm thirteen; I can bloody well take care of myself.
A flash of gold chose that moment to interrupt Severus' brooding. Someone had dropped a Galleon on the pavement. Faust's bolloc-- an entire Galleon? Severus thought, in mixed disbelief that someone could do so, and that he would happen to come upon it. He snatched it up, of course. I should use this on one of my books, or some replacements for my Potions kit. But... Severus had had precious little spending money in his life. What he really wanted to waste... er, ah, spend it on...
It was the best dish of Neapolitan ice cream he had ever had.
