-----

It is only his first time, but Tom is a perfectionist, and he eyes the girl's limp body with the same disdain he would a smudge of dirt on his polished loafers. He artfully props her up against the toilet, draping the arms modestly across her lap, and smoothing the stringy hair down with spit. The broken glasses are nestled on her nose with mock politeness. The grotesque open mouth is snapped shut. If he didn't know better, he'd mistaken her for a pathetic rag doll.

"It's not personal, Mudblood," he hisses, leaning close to her ear. "It's strictly business."
