Heart and Soul, for velvetmouse novembersnow July 26 2009, 04:10:51 UTC

Recipient: velvetmouse
Prompt: No one knew one Horcrux could create another. Be nice if someone told Ginny…
Word count: 100
Rating: PG (character death, dark themes)

It would be years before anyone found the vagrant's remains, and longer still before the truth emerged-that more than roosters had been killed that night, and that an ensorcelled first-year had unknowingly stumbled away possessed of more than merely her own soul.

When the dark times returned, and a Dark Lord threatened to rise again, a no-longer-boy hero learned, to his horror, that not every human Horcrux surrenders willingly to Death's embrace-nor does she so easily return from it.

And as he wept over his wife's shell, the Wizarding world learned that even heroes, finally, can be broken.

Oh, wow, this is really amazing. I love love love dark!Ginny fics, especially ones that play off the Tom Riddle connection. Guh.

I used to be fascinated by the whole shadowy Tom-Ginny relationship, but had gotten away from it in recent years. It was kind of nice to revisit it here. ;)

Thanks for your comment!

And it might have been so much worse if I'd let myself use more words. Oh, the way this played out in my head...*shivers*.

Thanks! ♥
