Title: Bodies
** DEADNESS WARNING **
Characters: Voldemort, The Late Harry Potter, Several Dead Bodies
Rating: PG-ish
House: Slytherin
Challenge: Thanksgiving
He likes to touch the bodies usually, but this one stops him dead. The boy with the scar is here, motionless before him. Somewhere in that deep, twisted mind the Dark Lord knows he did not deal the killing blow, but he still feels a tingle of pride. Bodies everywhere. So many followers to his cause, ready to wipe out the heroes forever.
Willing to kill.
Willing to die.
After a moment of thought he crouches beside the boy's body, caressing the scar that was almost his downfall. No magic left there. None anywhere.
For miles around, he stands alone.
Title: Clean And Tidy
** GENOCIDE WARNING **
Characters: Lucius Malfoy
Rating: PG-13
House: Slytherin
Challenge: Thanksgiving
'Cleanliness is next to Godliness' his mother used to teach him as she brushed through his smooth blonde hair. Beauty was not just skin deep in the Malfoy house - it had to course through your very veins. There was beauty in blood.
No, not just any blood.
Clean blood. Always clean.
Lucius had tried to teach his own son this lesson, failing miserably so often he almost experienced shame for it. Draco merely used it as a device with which to taunt. He saw no need for cleanliness. No need for the extermination that was around the corner.
