Title: Raising the Stakes
House: Ravenclaw
Word Count: 100
Characters/Pairings: Dumbledore, Voldemort
Challenge: Games
A/N: This started out as a poker game, but I bent the rules to suit my purposes.
Killing curses are high; lightning-scars are wild.
One hand holds a horcrux, a pair of vivid green eyes, a splash of red, and a tactical bookworm. Stakes are raised.
The other holds a double agent, a dreadful betrayal, and a set of three followers: a loyal disciple, a promising young recruit, and a scared mother.
The second player discards the double agent, and picks up a remorseless woman.
The first picks up the discarded double agent, sure there is something valuable in it the other is missing.
Stakes are raised. The game continues, each player waiting for the perfect hand.

With a smile, she told him to approach her. With a wink, she said, ‘I want you,’ and he fell eagerly into her game. With a kiss, she claimed him as her own, and he let her, because he was hypnotized by her fiery personality and bright brown eyes. With an indulgent moan, she let him have her, and he pretended for a moment that he was in control. When she’d gotten all she wanted from him, she let him go with kind words and a well-placed glare.
With a smile, she told the next cute boy to approach her.
