Title: Prelude to a Kiss
Words: 100
Challenge: Seven Deadly Sins
House: Slytherin
Characters: Sirius Black and a Dementor
Author’s Note: Lust and Greed. `Terror-limp` as one word.

It’s not lust.
Even as it moves towards him through the cold shadows, leaning sightlessly into him, dragging his terror-limp body into its mouldering, grey shrouded embrace, wrapping him in the stench of the grave.
Even though his chin is gripped so powerfully by the scabbed hands it could almost be passion, it’s not lust.
Even as the world turns to fog and his senses are overloaded, even as he drowns.
It’s not lust.
It’s not for his beauty, or wit or charm that Sirius is being raped.
It’s his misery.
It’s not lust that drives a Dementor, it’s greed.
