past

The Shafiqs always married young, with Pranavi’s marriage at seventeen years of age proving no different. They were married to a reputable spouse and given no option for discussing the matter despite the man being old enough to be Pranavi’s grandfather. Tragedy stuck six months into being married, with Pranavi frantically flooing for a healer. The husband didn’t wake up after a night spent trying for an heir and Pranavi voiced concerns about the attempt being too much for the poor soul’s heart. Being widowed, playing dumb, and perfected crocodile tears kept all suspicions off Pranavi.

There was one little problem with the marriage that followed after. That spouse died and left Pranavi with a lavish manor and more money than they knew what to do with. Pranavi was not in a rush to marry again after that, but Harlan Zabini proved convincing. The two courted and wed when Pranavi turned twenty-seven. Their relationship would have followed a similar path to the other two if it weren’t for Pranavi discovering they were pregnant too late to be able to do something about it. Single parent and widowed for the third time was not a look Pranavi would immediately take, leaving them acknowledging there is simply a matter of time before a tragedy befalls the family.

present

Pranavi has taken parenthood in stride, doting on Blaise and ignoring their spouse’s suggestions that another child would make a great addition to the family. While Pranavi is not in a rush to no longer be wed, they hope Walden or Reine can help make sure their spouse isn’t alive long enough to conceive another child.

connections

Walden Macnair - One of Pranavi’s closest friends and most trusted confidants. Deciding on Walden as Blaise’s godparent took minimal thought despite the death eater claiming they wanted nothing to do with a child.

Rabastan Lestrange - Pranavi does not trust Rabastan since the pureblood asked more questions than necessary the last time they spoke. Knowledge is a dangerous thing and the less Rabastan knows, the better.

Reine Borgin - The other godparent to Blaise. Walden, Reine, and Pranavi have been inseparable for nearly a decade. Differing personalities and an ability to act as though they can’t stand each other in public have left the others from reading in too deeply about their relationship.

Una sonrisa ladina surgió en su semblante tras oír a su hermano, aunque, si lo pensaba, creía escucharle hablar de una forma inusual. No pensaba juzgarlo, no tenía ni idea de qué había pasado donde sea que hubiese estado todo este tiempo. "Sí, bueno, tienes un punto" soltó una breve risa. La comida en el hospital tenía sabores poco favorecedores. El silencio se prolongó por un momento, y después, volteó a ver una vez más a Fabian. "Me alegra que estés aquí" se sinceró, realmente aliviado por tenerlo ahí, de vuelta. "Por un momento pensé que jamás te volvería a ver" y el sólo pensamiento le creó un nudo en la garganta.

Lo único que lamentaba de la situación era tener que hablar con Gideon. Tomó el cigarrillo y lo llevó a su boca, así al menos se mantendría ocupado. —No se me antoja nada desde San Mungo, ahí todo es... asqueroso —respondió con simpleza. Una de las frases que había escuchado por ahí. No querría pasar momentos felices de hermanos, ¿o sí? Tendría que, debía obtener información, aunque fuese del idiota de Prewett.

Just read the new chapter and I love the bit with Azkaban Break. It feels like just the sort of thing I’d play at a tabletop club or con game room. Everyone trying so hard and yet so ineptly to explain it to the newcomer is also extremely accurate.

Anyway, now I’m curious- Tom decides Bella needs to try to socialize with non-Death Eaters without trying to kill them, finds out that she apparently likes playing magic board games with her family, and makes her go to a game store encounters night or something similar. How many people die, and why?

The Man Who Would be King by me and @therealvinelle where Bellatrix, Rodolphus, and Rabastan play a board game they really like with new people.

Look, @therealvinelle, praise and accuracy!

I don't see Tom ever, ever, ever in a million years doing this (would only hurt his image and the Death Eaters being normal people or not isn't his business) but the outcome depends on how it's ordered.

If Bella's strictly ordered not to harm or hurt anyone then she doesn't but she hates them all. She leaves feeling she's gone through the hardest trial of her life and the Dark Lord must be so pleased with her for passing his test.

If he didn't put any limits, everyone dies, because they were cheating Muggles.

Through Love And By Love (Pt. 17)

Summary: Twenty-Two years ago, Draco Malfoy used the imperius curse to slow Voldemort’s rise to power. No good deed goes unpunished. Warning: this series contains mature subject matter surrounding use of the imperius curse (dub-con), discussions of trauma and mental illness; reader discretion advised.

Part 16

Lucius has a few theories, as to why Rabastan might be interested in his daughter-in-law, but they will require further analysis to determine which is his true motive. “I’d like you to try something.”

“Sure,” Rosanna nods.

Lucius returns the gesture before handing her a blank piece of parchment. “Keep hold of this, as best you can.”

“With magic?”

Lucius narrows his eyes, “yes, darling girl, with magic.”

Draco widens his stance, trying to figure out what his father is playing at.

“Now Draco, try to take it from her.” Lucius instructs.

“No.” Draco clenches his jaw.

“For Salazar’s sake, the only thing you will hurt is her ego.” If it were more than that, he wouldn’t be asking.

“She is very sweet, Draco.” The dark lord purrs. He would, from time to time, inspect Draco’s mind to be sure he was ‘performing’ to the best of his abilities.

“Yes, my lord.” Keep her image out of your wretched mind.

“However, she is not yet with child.” Voldemort croons, pacing leisurely about the room.

“I assure you, it is not for lack of trying.”

Voldemort releases a sound that could almost be a laugh, if not for its demented nature. “Alternative methods may be necessary in order for her to reproduce with someone of your pedigree.”

“Of course, my lord.” Draco bites his tongue.

“This will surely aid in conception.” Voldemort says, producing a box from thin air. A pink ribbon lies in wait, enchanted with the most powerful fertility charms known to man. Something pretty for him to look at.

Draco nods, “thank you, my lord.”

“Do enjoy her, Draco.” Voldemort is taunting him now, seeing how far he can push, before Draco snaps.

With that he is excused.

He returns to his room with the box, finding Rosanna perched on top of the bed, reading. Under the imperius curse, his only requirements of her are to do whatever she likes and to say what she feels. If something bothers her, he needs to know in order to fix it.

“I want to go outside.” She tells him, almost immediately.

“Alright, we’ll go for a walk around the grounds, after a while.” He kicks off his shoes.

“I want to go outside the gate.”

Draco sighs, “I’m sorry, sweetheart. It’s not safe for you, remember how I told you?”

“I’ll be good.” Rosanna promises.

Draco’s knees buckle, all of the air leaving his lungs. She thinks she can’t go outside because of something she’s done. “You are good, Rosanna. You’re so good. This is not a punishment, darling. Only to keep you safe. I thought you knew that. I apologize for not making it clear.”

“Why are you upset?”

Draco swallows down his guilt, moving to sit behind her on the bed. “I’ll tell you a story.” He says, delicately gathering her hair at the nape of her neck and tying the bow in place. “Once upon a time there was a girl; she was an angel. She was wild and free, until she met a boy who wasn’t an angel. He loved her wings, but it wasn’t safe for her to fly, so he couldn’t let her use them for a little while. But only for a little while.”

Draco comes back to himself, blood boiling, “have I not taken enough from her?” He roars, causing his father to take a step back, raising his hands.

“Draco, I’m only trying to help.” Lucius reminds him. He hasn’t seen his son this way in years. Lucius is not a fool, he knows that Draco has suffered his fair share, in the name of love. Somehow it’s still jarring to see such a visceral reaction, after all these years, over a piece of parchment.

Rosanna sets the paper aside, closing the distance between herself and her husband, rubbing circles along his back to soothe him. His eyes find hers, haunted and desperate. His mind far away from his body. “It’s ok, I’m ok.”

Draco grabs her then, crushing her to him, one hand snakes up to the nape of her neck, fisting in the hair there. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s ok, Draco. Everything is ok, I promise.” She shakes her head, “you’re all that matters to me. We don’t have to do this.”

The light is around them then, soft and glowing, keeping them together and safe.

“Your magic is enmeshed.” Lucius realizes, straight away. “There is a reason that Leo is the only child ever born of an imperius curse, it isn’t possible. Not only have you muddled in dark magic and created life, you’ve bound yourselves together in every way a witch and wizard can. Now that her magic serves you, anytime Rosanna tries to use an amount of power that your magic deems dangerous, it will try to stop her. Imagine hitting a brick wall, but she’s stubborn. She heads back at the wall, with a running start and as a result she is met with further resistance.”

“How do we stop it?” Draco asks.

Lucius sighs, “there are times we must lie in the bed we’ve made. She can no longer over extend herself. A few examples might be, shattering an imperius curse, her stunt on the stairs, at Hogwarts with Nagini, performing advanced legillimacy on a member of a family she is bound to, scrying for someone across time and space.”

Rosanna turns back to Draco, he blinks at her, opening his mouth to speak. “It’s ok, Draco.”

“No, it is not ok,” Draco sneers. “I am tired of having to be the one who takes things from you. I won’t do it anymore, Rosanna, I can’t.”

“Please don’t do this, don’t blame yourself.” Don’t let this eat at your soul, like all the other things you did trying to save mine.

“Is it only you who has the luxury of hating yourself?”

“I have good reason-”

“As do I,” his eyes are cold, sharp like daggers.

“I love you.” Rosanna tells him, the same way he does, each time her self loathing bubbles out. It feels silly to say it, surely he knows. It is love that brought them here, love that turned them into this and it can’t save them now.

“Through love and by love castles will crumble.” Draco says, bitterly. “We should have heeded the warning.” With that he turns and takes his leave, it hurts to look at her.

“Please,” Rosanna follows him out into the hallway. “Draco, I can live without the things I lost.”

He pauses, no more determined strides away from her.

“I can’t live without you, please. Take anything else, just don’t take yourself away from me.”

She’s begging now…please after please. “I need a moment. Can you give me that?”

A moment. A moment away from her. “Yes.”

“This isn’t a punishment, Rosanna. I need you to understand that. I love you.” I love you too much.

With that he is gone, disapparating into thin air.

Lucius joins his daughter-in-law in the hallway, “Narcissa and I always hoped the two of you would grow out of this.”

Rosanna swipes traitorous tears from her cheeks, “sorry to disappoint.”

————————————————————————

The children in school have returned to Hogwarts, under special supervision. Leaving only Rosanna and Corina in the manor, upstairs in her playroom. The little girl is stacking blocks, wailing and flickering the lights when they tumble over.

“No lights, Corina.” Rosanna reminds her.

“Mummy, it’s broken.”

“Can I help you fix it?” She hadn’t allowed her to touch it a moment ago.

“Uh huh.” The two year old nods.

Rosanna criss crosses her legs on the floor, taking one of the larger blocks to start building a foundation. “Should we build a castle?”

“Yes.”

“Thank you for using your words.” Rosanna smiles.

“I’m a big girl.” Corina says, handing her mother a new block of choice.

“Yes, you are. I’m so proud of you.” The swift pop of apparition draws Rosanna’s attention.

“Daddy!” Corina makes a beeline for him.

“Hello, my darling girl.” Draco takes her into his arms, as if nothing has happened, as if he hasn’t been gone for hours.

“Oh good, you’re here.” Rosanna deadpans.

“I meant to return sooner, but Potter called for me.” Draco explains, his tone clipped.

“Harry called for you?”

“We are partners, Rosanna. It happens on occasion.”

“What for?”

“Nothing to worry about, it’s being handled.”

She scoffs. How dare you? How dare you disappear, how dare you withhold information? Rosanna moves to stand, starting towards the door.

“Where are you going?” Draco is there, blocking her path, Corina still in his arms.

“To see Harry.” She begins skirting around him.

“Why?” Draco moves again to stop her.

“Because you’re not going to tell me.”

“I never said I wouldn’t tell you.”

“Then tell me.”

“We’re closing in on a suspect we believe may have leaked the files.” He explains.

“Is that all?”

“Yes, sweetheart.” He softens, marginally.

“Why didn’t you start with that?”

“I apologize, I wasn’t thinking straight. I just wanted to see you.” He’s come to her without his bearings.

“I’m sorry,” Rosanna apologizes, he’s doing exactly what she asked him to. “I didn’t realize.”

“It’s alright.” Draco assures her, “have you had dinner?”

“No, not yet.” The question is too simple, mundane.

“Would you join me? And Corina, of course.” He nods to their daughter.

“Yeah, that’d be great. Should we change?” Rosanna looks down at herself, jeans and a t-shirt. She hadn’t planned on leaving their estate, as for Corina, she plays hard, her romper is evidence of that.

Draco moves his eyes down the length of her, in his perfectly pressed suit, as if the thought hadn’t occurred to him. “If you’d like. I’ll take care of her, you go on.”

“Ok,” Rosanna side steps him again and this time he allows it. Kissing his cheek once, in parting.

“I love you.” He tells her. “I love you terribly.”

————————————————————————

A night out in muggle London is good for them, laughing and talking for hours, in the booth of their favorite Italian restaurant.

“We should get out of here,” Rosanna says, realizing the time, “I’m sure other people would like to have dinner too.”

“I’ve reserved this room for the rest of the night, there’s no need to rush.”

Rosanna nods, taking another sip from her wine. “Of course you did, why wouldn’t Draco Malfoy rent out an entire restaurant for dinner?”

“You’re worth much more than that,” Draco reminds her. He’d give her the moon if she wanted it.

Corina is clanking two spoons together, “on mummy’s nose.” She holds one out to Rosanna.

Rosanna takes the silverware, “let’s see.” She releases a puff of warm air onto the inside of the spoon, before attempting to balance it on her nose. It sticks after the second try. “Here we go.”

“On my mummy’s nose.” Corina rejoices, clapping her hand together.

“Your mummy is silly, isn’t she?” Draco grins.

“On daddy’s nose.” Corina holds out the second spoon to him.

“Oh,” Draco accepts the utensil from her, “how do I-”

“Just let your breath hit the inside and then try to stick it to your nose.”

“Easier said than done.” It takes several tries.

“You did it, daddy!”

Draco smiles, like he’s won an award.

“High five,” Rosanna extends her arm across the table carefully, still balancing the spoon.

————————————————————————-

Corina is asleep the moment her head hits the pillow. They were out well after her bedtime. Rosanna closes her daughter’s door behind her and makes her way down the hall.

On the table, outside their bedroom, is a crystal vase with pink roses. She plucks the card off the top.

-You look ravishing tonight, Mrs. Malfoy.

Rosanna leans forward, taking a whiff from the arrangement. They smell amazing, better than anything she’s ever smelt. Draco must have enchanted them with something.

She keeps moving, knowing he’ll be waiting for her inside. He’s dressed in silk, emerald green, pajamas. The Slytherin Prince.

A slow grin spreads across her lips as she crosses the room to him. “Unzip?”

Draco turns her away, now facing the long mirror against the wall.

He told her once it may as well be the mirror of Erised. He only sees her in it, the deepest, most desperate desire of his heart. Then he’d made love to her, in front of it, until she was sure her fingers had cracked the edges.

Draco slides the zipper down to the small of her back with care. The dimples at the base of her spine peeking out from above her knickers.

“Thank you for the flowers,” Rosanna breathes. As he uncoils her hair, letting it fall wildly about her shoulders.

“What flowers?” Draco presses a kiss to the base of her neck.

“The ones in the hall.”

“Sweetheart, I didn’t leave you flowers.” Another kiss, this time behind her ear.

“They smelled so good,” Rosanna drawls, her mind is fuzzy, “they smelled like you.” She watches his expression shift, in the mirror. Her legs are made of jelly and he’s the only thing keeping her upright.

“Tell me more about the flowers, Ro.”

“There was a note but- I don’t… I can’t remember.” It startles her, enough that she begins struggling in his hold. Why can’t she remember?

“Shhh, I’ve got you.” Draco soothes, shuffling her toward the bed.

Her dress is gone and he slips a night gown over her head. “My head hurts.”

“Try to relax, I’m running a diagnostic charm.” Draco has his wand held over her. Hands trembling as he hurries to make sense of this.

There’s something she needs, someone depending on her. “Where’s the baby?”

“I’ll get Corina. Don’t move, I’ll be right back.”

Something is falling; dripping, metallic and thick into her mouth. She brings a hand up to wipe it away, blinking at her fingers. It’s blood, her blood. “Draco?”

“You look ravishing tonight, Mrs. Malfoy.” A voice from above her murmurs.

Not Draco, not any voice she can place. Everything goes black.

Lani's Kinktober 2023 Masterlist

31 days | 31 ships | 31 kinks

In an effort to practice my smut writing, I am participating in @kinktober2023!! Everyday I'll post a ficlet (500 words exactly) with a different ship and a different kink.

Fair warning to anyone horny enough to read them, some contain dark/disturbing topics (i.e. rape/non-con, underage, vore, emeto, etc.). I will try to include any relevant info and warnings before each story, but just be advised. I also took the prompts very loosely, and some of the stories don't contain smut, only the build-up to it (I ran out of words, oopsies). These will be a mix of common ships, rare pairs, and my personal blorbos. I tried to include a good mix!

I had a plethora of inspiration for these juicy ficlets. All sources of inspiration are linked above the individual stories, and I highly recommend checking them out. All remixed/inspired stories are written with the original authors' permissions.

Self Para 001.

Mentions: @r-lestrcnge

The Carrow's had just left and Val was left behind in the room with her father and mother. Her father had returned from his fourth home and marriage especially for this conversation. It was the last thing of her parents had wanted. It was not good for any of them. And Val knew that but she wasn't so certain if she could care about it all.

"How did this happen, Valeria?"

Her full name coming from her father was not a good sign. Everyone knew that there was no way you should call her Valeria.

"I don't know, Father. I guess it took too long in the end." Her dark eyes were focused on her father who only gave her one more look before turning around and leaving the room with long strides. It was only then that she looked at her mother who had a disappointing expression on her face.

"This could become a disgrace to our name, Val." And with those words, her mother also left the room, leaving her daughter alone in the room.

A deep sigh escaped from Val as she let her forehead rest on her crossed arms on top of the table. The woman was definitely having mixed feelings. She had no idea what exactly to feel.

Being married had it's pros. It was no longer her against the world, it was the two of them against the world. Amycus hadn't been a wrong match. There was respect, he wasn't terrible to look at. But at the same time... Being married meant that the married name was important. It had to be continued. And that was something Val was not ready for at all. And probably never would be. Children was not her aim. She was not a mother.

A failed proposal also had pros and cons. But what did outweigh the other? The cons of a failed betrothal meant that people would start talking; the one thing her mother was so afraid of. Reputations would be damaged. People would wonder where it all went wrong and who was then to blame. Would it be Amycus or would it be her? When looking at history, Val had a feeling that it would be her reputation that would be damaged the most. A pro of it all was that she was free of the expectations of marriage. She was free to do what she wanted, with who she wanted. She was able to cross lines that she had given herself. She was able to give in to temptations.

The woman pushed herself away from the table and stood. It was time to talk to her friends first. Val needed to speak to someone. And a letter send to her earlier that day by Rabastan was the perfect distraction.

"No puedo creer que lograron arrastrarme a una reunión familiar" resopló con una sonrisa, recargado contra la pared. Los Prewett estaban tan felices de tener a Fabian de vuelta que habían organizado un encuentro masivo, uno al que incluso Gideon accedió. Sí, poca o nula gracia le causaba ver a sus padres, pero por su hermano, haría todo. "Esto no volverá a pasar hasta dentro de un milenio, así que disfrútenlo."

past

Severus’ parents were absent most of their childhood. It was a lonely existence of keeping to themselves. Eileen cared but had to work to ensure food was on the table and clothes on her and Severus’ backs. Tobias cared little and spent more time at the bar than anywhere else. Once home, his temper would appear and get taken out on his wife or child. There was a moment when he took things too far, and the father and child were forced to bury the matriarch earlier than planned. Severus knew nothing besides the strict hand of Tobias and was used to being punished for anything they couldn’t control. The Hogwarts acceptance letter was a godsend since Tobias was all too happy to be rid of Severus.

Severus’ sixth year of school came with an abrupt change in the routine they were used to. Tobias had been found dead. The news didn’t affect Severus since Tobias was unloving. Abraxas Malfoy was listed as their legal guardian and went as far as adopting Severus. The Ministry asked no questions, and the Malfoy patriarch did nothing to wave off the rumors that the half-blood Prince was his own.

present

The rumors were true that Severus was the product of an affair between Eileen Prince and Abraxas Malfoy. That news left Severus confused with far too much information to take in and too little time to get used to it. Bottled-up anger occasionally rears its ugly head, but Severus has proven to be an adaptable pureblood despite that. Taking the mark was a no-brainer since Lucius and Abraxas had done the same. Severus can play the role of learning pureblood, but there are still feelings of uncertainty beneath the surface that have them keeping their mouth shut around everyone besides the people they would trust with their life. They currently serve as a double agent, heavily involved with the Death Eaters and Order of the Phoenix.

connections

Rabastan Lestrange - Rabastan was one of the purebloods close in age that took Severus under their wing. They proved to be unshakeable, and Severus eventually accepted the unwanted friendship.

Lily Potter - They were once friends, close as could be. School caused them to drift apart since Severus fell into the wrong crowd. An argument ensued, and Severus expected that to be the end of everything. Severus tried to get back in Lily’s good graces and had made decent progress until they disappeared.

Andromeda Black - The two are more similar than Severus can appreciate now that they’re navigating the pureblood society as outcasts that were thrown into it. Andromeda could potentially become an ally, but Severus isn’t fully ready to let their guard down around them.

Pranavi Zabini - Severus doesn’t trust Pranavi since they have made questionable potions purchases in the past. While Severus can appreciate having a regular customer, they do not want anything to do with Pranavi’s whims.

Regulus is really Rabastan but it’s actually Sirius and him pulling a prank on the entire Wizarding World to see if they can convince everyone that Rabastan Lestrange actually exists when nobody’s met the guy before, they know the Lestrange parents and Rodolphus and they know Rodolphus is an only child, and absolutely nobody knows where this guy even came from because he just popped up one day and claimed to be Rodolphus’s younger brother (Rodolphus decides that this will not be his problem, if some random guy wants to be his younger brother so badly then why not? Rodolphus’s life is already weird enough, he’ll accept a mysterious brother into his life, welcome to the family and all). He’s got a Dark Mark and nobody remembers when he joined, not even Voldemort, who did an actual double-take when he saw Rabastan for the first time (Voldemort: I don’t think this guy is really Rodolphus’s brother since nobody ever mentioned him, but I don’t know enough about pureblood families or siblings to dispute this). Sirius sees his brother in Azkaban (for crack purposes, inmates get to socialize for like an hour), and he’s all “Reg, you know you can drop the act, right?” but Regulus is committed now and also nothing could be funnier than them arresting a guy who doesn’t even exist and not even realizing Rabastan Lestrange isn’t real. Post-war, Hermione or someone is going through the legal papers, trying to ensure nobody else got thrown in prison without a trial, and she has the really awkward time of telling everyone “So, you know the Lestrange trial a while back, the one with Bellatrix? Yeah, so it turns out I can find absolutely nothing on her brother-in-law and Rabastan Lestrange doesn’t exist. We’ve all seen the guy, so anyone know who he really is?”

@ncoincidences

😂 I love this!

I love that Rodolphus is like "yeah, more family, cool". He's not bothered by this mysterious new brother and he's not put off by his wife's illegitimate child. Is this because he craves a family? Is this because he is incapable of experiencing human emotions? Who knows!

The Ministry is so ass-backwards and incompetent they literally throw a conman into prison without realizing they're being conned. Background checks? Never heard of them.

The Quibbler publishes an expose about how Rabastan Lestrange is not who he appears to be and that actually, he is a stack of turnips that the Crumple-Horned Snorkack enchanted to act like a man and infiltrate wizard society. Regulus and Sirius read it together and Sirius calls Regulus a turnip constantly.

Through Love And By Love (Pt. 18)

Summary: Twenty-Two years ago, Draco Malfoy used the imperius curse to slow Voldemort’s rise to power. No good deed goes unpunished. Warning: this series contains mature subject matter surrounding use of the imperius curse (dub-con), discussions of trauma and mental illness; reader discretion advised.

Part 17

Rosanna is no longer in her bed, or even in her house. The surface beneath her is hard and unbearably cold, but she doesn’t dare move.

“I’m going to finish preparing the room. Bring her once she’s up.” A voice echos off the walls.

“She’s bleeding everywhere.” Another voice, this one she knows.

“Come on, Goyle, don’t tell me you’re afraid of a little dirty blood.” The door clicks shut and Rosanna is dragged upright.

Forcing her eyes open, Rosanna finds herself face to face with Gregory Goyle, Draco’s childhood friend. They’d grown up together, he spent countless hours in her house, he held her children.

He-

Rosanna rears back, slamming her forehead against his hard enough to make him stumble away.

“Damn you,” he whispers. “More trouble than you’re worth, McVay. I’ll never understand what Draco sees in you…besides himself.”

She claws at him this time, like she means to gouge his eyes out.

“Come on, it’s just a joke. I’m here to help you.”

“Help me how?” She whispers.

“Got a plan, don’t bugger it.” He hauls her to her feet, fingertips digging into the flesh of her upper arm.

Goyle leads her through the door, to the adjoining room. Mostly empty, save for an array of lit candles, a circle, a rope, and a knife.

“Welcome! So kind of you to join us.” Theodore? Theodore Nott? “I suppose introductions are in order, it has been a while.”

“I know who you are.” Rosanna jerks her arm free of Goyle.

“Wonderful, that saves time.” Theodore grins, “you may be wondering why you’re here…unless you already know that as well?” He cocks his head to the side. “Must be why you and Granger get on so well, two peas in a pod. Although they couldn’t make you the minister, with a death eater’s cock shoved up inside you, could they? No, there has to be consequences for that. Though clearly they’re not opposed to using you when it benefits them.”

Rosanna glares. Don’t let him get in your head.

“It was almost too easy to distract you, with the files, and Delphi, then Rabastan. You just couldn’t keep your head on straight.” Nott muses, quite pleased with himself.

“How’d you get the files?” Rosanna wonders.

“I surely don’t have access to such sensitive information within the ministry. We don’t all get golden girl privileges. Some of us had to atone for our sins, some of our fathers went to Azkaban for life. Some of us got tossed away like we were nothing. I don’t think that’s fair, so I decided to do something about it, the imperius curse came in handy. I know you’re familiar.” Theodore begins pacing in the circle, drawn on the floor in what Rosanna assumes to be blood.

“Just kill me then and be done with it.”

“Did it ever occur to you that there is a reason great wizards throw themselves at you?” Everyone from Harry Potter to Lord Voldemort. “That you are, in some way, exceptional. A conduit for magic. Had you not chosen to spend your life with someone who does not value it, you would know that. Draco keeps it locked inside you, wasting away, but I can fix it. I can teach you how to use that power, I can make you the greatest witch whoever lived. In return, you will serve me. Reduce the world to ash and rebuild, as it should be.”

“No thanks,” Rosanna shrugs. If she can just stall long enough for Goyle’s plan to take action, or even to figure out what the circle is for…

“I wasn’t asking.” Theodore purses his lips. “There is one matter that must be attended before we proceed in making you mine.”

Rosanna narrows her eyes, daring him to go on.

“I bare no relation to the Malfoy family. Therefore what is bound, must be unbound. Let’s bring him out. The man of the hour, here to save you.” Theo drags Draco into the room, feet bloodied, his pajamas torn.

“Leave her alone.” Draco seethes, hands behind his back, magic knitting them together.

“No, I don’t think I will.” Nott taunts, pushing Draco to the ground, just outside the circle. “Got a bit of a mouth on her, but that can be fixed.”

The floor quakes beneath them, rumbling as though it might break away.

“Was that you?” Theodore laughs, his eyes flickering to Rosanna, a vision in her silk golden nightgown, dripping in her own blood. “You are a pistol, aren’t you?”

“Let her go.” Draco fires this time, but the magic is unhinged, no way to direct it.

“You know this is even better than I imagined! Your magic is bound to Draco, who doesn’t have a clue how to use it. Bravo, Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy, you’ve outdone yourselves. Now if you’ll just keep doing exactly what you are doing, this circle has all the enchantments we need to untangle your magic.”

Rosanna swipes a hand over her face, smearing the blood beneath her nose. Without a word, she looks to Goyle. What’s the plan?

“What’s the matter, dove?” Nott calls her attention. “Not in the mood? That’s alright, I’ll inspire you. Crucio!”

Draco writhes, howling in pain.

“Stop.” Rosanna takes a step forward, only to realize that she can’t move outside the circle.

“I’m just getting started.” Nott grins.

“Stop!”

“No.” Theodore growls, hitting Draco with the cruciatus curse a second time.

She feels the wall, between the magic she has access to and what lies beyond. She doesn’t run at it head first, that doesn’t work, because the wall is Draco’s. Not her own.

But she knows his mind…

“I was never truly happy until I met you.”

She knows his heart…

“You have always been and will always be the deepest, most desperate desire of my heart.”

And she knows his soul…

"There is no me without you, keeping you alive is as self preserving as it gets."

Using her magic to save him isn’t dangerous, it’s self preservation, and there is nothing Draco wants more than to keep her safe.

The windows shatter, the door comes away from its hinges. She’s vaguely aware of the fact that Goyle is yelling. Tossing his wand to the floor near Draco.

Rosanna can’t make out what he’s saying over the ringing in her ears. The magic courses through her now, consuming her and she sees red. There’s not a spell in the world that will be punishment enough for what Nott has done.

He used the imperius curse to leak Draco’s file from the ministry.

Crucio. No, that isn’t enough.

He tried to recruit Delphi to do his dirty work.

Reducto. No.

He used Rabastan and his sick obsession to distract them.

Avada Kedavra.

He came into their home.

Avada Kedavra.

He hurt Draco.

Avada Kedavra.

They need him alive, at least for a while, to make sure this ends with him.

And so Rosanna thinks of the spell, one that will kill him agonizingly slow, if no one intervenes.

“Sectum Sempra.”

Theodore’s skin flays open, much faster than Draco’s had all those years before, when Harry struck him the lavatory. Down to the muscle, in no time.

Someone is screaming.

Telling her to stop.

But she can’t stop.

She doesn’t want to stop.

Goyle isn’t beside her anymore, he’s moved away. Blown back against the wall. Did she do that?

“Rosanna, stop!” Hermione? Hermione is there and telling her to stop, pleading with tears in her eyes.

“Why do you care about him? He tried to-”

“I don’t! I don’t care about him!” Hermione shouts back, “I care about you!”

Rosanna draws back. Taking in the scene before her. Draco is there, on the floor, twitching with the after effects of the cruciatus curse. How long was Nott torturing him? How long has she been flaying Theodore open?

Harry is over Nott now, assessing the damage. It’s bad. Even with the counter spell, he isn’t sure he’ll live. Not that it matters, but they can’t try a dead man.

Help Draco, save Draco. Rosanna’s head is pounding furiously, as she collapses at his side.“Draco?”

Draco curls himself around her, lips quirked with the hint of a smile. “Do you know the worst part about all of this?”

“Hmm?”

“Your magic listens to me as well as you do. Rarely, if ever.” He clarifies, “perhaps never at all.”

Rosanna chokes out laugh, “I listen to you. This is self preservation, just like you said.”

“This is not what I meant.” There’s blood, too much blood, staining her golden nightgown crimson. Her eyes have no whites to them, all broken blood vessels and blown pupils, threatening to swallow her brown irises. “This was foolish, highly irresponsible-”

Rosanna’s lips are on his then, silencing any further ranting. “I will always take care of you, Draco. No matter how foolish or irresponsible that makes me or how mad you get, I will never let anyone hurt you. My only regret is that I couldn’t do it sooner. I wish I could go back and stop anyone from ever hurting you.”

Draco’s eyes search her face, “we need to get you to a healer.”

Rosanna doesn’t fight him on that. “My brain is on fire.” She feels it now.

————————————————————————

Six days later, under the florescent lights of St. Mungos hospital, Rosanna wakes. She turns and vomits onto the floor, rousing the man in the chair beside her.

Draco.

Draco.

Draco.

“I’ll get you some water.” He says, casting a quick cleansing spell over Rosanna and the floor.

There’s nothing to do but wait. Eventually he returns, cup in hand.

“Thank you.”

Draco gives a curt nod.

“You’re pissed at me.” Rosanna accepts the offering, chugging it down.

“I…” Draco chokes out. “I am beyond angry. I am beside myself with worry for you.”

“Draco, I’m so-”

“Don’t,” he warns, “don’t you dare apologize to me. You’re not sorry, you told me you’d do it again!”

“Come here,” Rosanna insists, grabbing his arms and tugging him onto the cot with her. His shoulders are shaking, the entire length of him rigid. As though he’ll break if he softens. “I’m sorry. I am. I’m sorry to worry you, I’m sorry that I upset you. I’m sorry for everything I’ve done.”

The dam breaks and Draco sobs, unabashedly against the crook of her neck. “Please, Rosanna, I am begging you, please don’t do this to me again.”

“I love you.” She continues feebly, “I love you so much and when I saw you…when I saw him hurting you, I lost control. But I’ll learn to reign it in. I’ll learn, I promise. Give me time and I’ll-”

Draco says nothing.

“It’s like you said, to my bones I am yours. I mean that. Do what you want with me. Take my magic, hide me away, keep me to yourself, if that is what you need. I’ll never complain. I have caused you so much heartache, let me give you peace.”

“The only thing I want is a long life with you, quit trying to rob me of it.” Draco breathes, allowing her fingers to card his hair.

“I owe you more than that.” The words to hang between them for a moment before Rosanna amends her statement. “I want to give you more than that. I want to give you everything.” I want to be your solace. I want to give back a fraction of what you’ve given me. “I want to fix this.”

Draco draws back slightly, his forearms on either side of her head, caging her in. Keeping her safe. “Sweetheart, this isn’t broken. It’s ours. You are mine and I am yours. It can never be broken.”

Rosanna nods, tears slipping from her eyes.

“Don’t cry, Ro. I’m tired of making you cry.” His thumbs skate over her cheeks, drawing the moisture away.

————————————————————————

Their friends and family trickle in and out of the hospital, until they are released a few days later.

Even Goyle comes to visit, after they’ve returned home, to some sense of normalcy. “You buggered it,” is all he has to say to his friend’s wife. “I’d been working on Nott for weeks, earning his trust, I even tipped off Draco and Potter. I had it under control. Then you fucked the whole plan right up the arse, put me through a wall, for no bloody reason.”

“Any plan that includes my husband being tortured is a shit plan.” Rosanna cocks her head to the side.

“Would’ve spared you the brain damage.” Goyle says, bitterly. He’s never been particularly fond of Rosanna, but he doesn’t wish her dead.

“She doesn’t have brain damage.” Draco snarls, “I had them check a dozen times, her scans are normal.” He’s struck a nerve.

Rosanna puts a hand over his, squeezing lightly. “I had a brain bleed and some swelling, the only thing affected is my short term memory. But the healer is hopeful that even that is temporary.”

Draco’s fingers twitch beneath hers. “Talk about something else.”

So they do.
