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.

Great twisty take on the prompt, and wonderfully petulant but true last line! :D

Cute and awesome and Hermione designed the cards? eee!
I like that Lily's the Dark Lord (and understands that being an awful one is the point).

Tremendously unexpected way to use the prompt. Well done!
