Challenge Twenty: The Wizards of Summer - Drabbles
Title: Prophetic
Author: allie_andromeda
Wizard/Witch: Orion Black/Walburga Black
Rating/Warnings: PG13/R. Semi-dark imagery.
Prompt: 4 - peril
Theme: A family scandal.
"Your bloody daughter--" CRASH! "--will find herself--" SMASH! "--stonewalled--" BANG-BANG-HISSSS! "--at every turn!" BOOOOM! "Mudblood-loving traitor! OUT, you damned failures! GET OUT!!"
A final crash, a sob from Druella, and two pops of Disapparation.
Slowly, Orion set down his brandy and turned around.
His wife was pacing before the tapestry. "Feeble, blighted," she muttered feverishly. "Weak blood. We fall into the darkness, forgotten. Toujours..."
She whirled, a tremble in her spindly limbs, before collapsing into a heap of dark silk. As he knelt beside her, her eyes flew open, wide and raging and unseeing.
Author's Notes: Thank you, seaislewitch, for being a fresh perspective! It's definitely a better drabble for it. The people who Disapparated are Andromeda's parents, Cygnus and Druella Black. Orion and Walburga are Sirius' parents. Again, the Black family tree for reference.
