When Draco woke he was aware of nothing but a cold, stone floor and pain. A dull, endless pain. His eyelids slowly opened and he saw his mother also on the floor, as gray and limp as an old rag doll. The roar of blood in his ears was slowly replaced by a voice.

“…You have failed me too, Severus. I’ve lost my spy in The Order of the Phoenix and why? Because your pride wouldn’t stand for Bellatrix questioning. Your only pride should be in serving me! CRUCIO!”

Draco watched Snape crumple before being once again claimed by unconsciousness.

Author's Notes: General fic

“Hello, Sirius. I’m surprised to find you here. You really should move on, you know. Lily and James are waiting.”

“Albus! What? How?”

“It was unavoidable, my boy. Severus had to…”

“Snape! I knew that slimy rat couldn’t be trusted! I have to get out! I have to keep him away from Harry!”

“Calm down and have a sherbet lemon. I trust Severus every bit as much as I ever had.”

“Albus, how can you say that? He murdered you!”

“I can’t tell you that, you’ll just have to trust me. Even behind the curtain some things cannot be revealed.”

Title: Counting Chickens
House: Ravenclaw
Word Count: 100
Characters/Pairings: Dobby
Author's Notes: General fic

Dobby left Hogwarts free and with the whole world in front of him! Never again would he be a slave. His opportunities were endless.

A night without food or shelter changed Dobby’s mind considerably. The elves he thought of as friends shut the door in his face. Alone, without a family, his house elf magic was limited. Suddenly his opportunities weren’t so endless.

“Please, sir. You is looking like a nice family. You will be wanting an elf to take care of you! I is only needing very little paying.”

So Dobby returned to the place where his freedom began.
