Recipient: archon_mentha
Prompt: Inferi vs. Dementors: Two of Voldie's would-be successors battle for status using dark creatures.
Rating: G

"Soulnessness," said Lily. "Ten."

"Zero," said Scorpius. "But that's stupid. Inferi don't have souls, and Dementors should have loads of souls."

"That's what the cards say," said Lily. This was a boring game of Top Trumps. Scorpius had found something wrong with every card that had come up, even though Auntie Hermione had helped design them.

"The cards are stupid. If a Dementor eats souls, they shouldn't have a Soulnessness of zero," explained Scorpius.

"You eat snot. But you aren't made of snot."

"Shut up, Lily. You're an awful Dark Lord."

"I am! I'm the Darkest Lord of all. I've won thirteen games so far and you've won two, so I'm the Dark Lord.”

Scorpius scowled. “Well, fine."

It was a stupid game. After all, the Dark Lord lost anyway.

Kids. That was hilarious.

Well done! This was unexpected.

OMG, lol, I'm imagining the look on Harry's face were he to overhear any of that conversation!

tjs_whatnot July 26 2009, 02:22:59 UTC

hahahaha! Awesome! I love the juxtopustiton (I know I'm spelling it wrong, shhh, play along) of the supposed dark subject matter this prompt instills and the youthful, innocent game that the story is. Well done!

You eat snot. But you aren't made of snot.

This was so cute. :) Kids are so .... free, it's great. This was awesome.

I like it. A fun twist on the prompt.

la_dissonance July 26 2009, 03:16:05 UTC

I LOVE THIS.

Bahahaha, so hilarious. And this: "You eat snot. But you aren't made of snot."

XD XD XD

Trust someone to come up with a way to make Voldie and his ilk perpetual losers! *LOL*

archon_mentha July 26 2009, 06:11:03 UTC

I LOVE this! :) So completely not what I expected from the prompt, and so, so awesome. Incredibly fun - thank you very much!

leela_cat July 26 2009, 06:11:35 UTC

This is a brilliant reworking of that prompt. LOL.

kellychambliss July 26 2009, 06:35:02 UTC

Very clever and very fun.

moreteadk July 26 2009, 11:55:21 UTC

Cool. :D Of course Scorpius has something against the cards that Hermione designed. Although if he had been winning he might have had a different opinion. :D

Great take on the prompt. And quite philosophical, this game of cards that Scorpius and Lily are playing. Inferi having a soulnessness of ten ... *ponders*

rane_ab July 26 2009, 18:46:02 UTC

Love the way you interpreted the prompt and the last line is brilliant! (And I love the implication that of course someone would turn this into a game.)

caboca July 26 2009, 21:34:56 UTC

I love what you did with the prompt! And the snot analogy, I'm so stealing that for future reference.
