Destination Darkness
A HariPo freeverse piece

Note: The Harry Potter characters belong to J.K. Rowling, not to me. This pairing is a Mew and Mor's Weird Pairing, which you may find in the M&MWP forum (see my profile for details). Check out and join the forum FUN! Read, review, and enjoy!

The
H_U_N_T
drove them both
one man forced to devour his own soul,
one man to d_e_v_o_u_r another's (or a few),
one v-i-c-t-i-m to ruin it
a~l~l
(oh, no, really, that was just the best thing that could happen…
yeah, right)
"Filthy, f…i…l…t…h…y, f.i.l.t.h.y
half-breeds"
&& so they went to take her in
because others
shouldn't mix with
witches & wizards
So that
filthy, f…i…l…t…h…y, f.i.l.t.h.y
part-Veela
was
SNATCHED
&& poor ickle part-wolfie
started the hunt
After all, it's
Snatcher Season
%%%%%%%%%%
Claws&&
whiffs
&& snarls
& still one cannot outmatch the other
So when will it be?
How could one win?
The haggard husband was bound to lose the glint in his blue eyes soon
but the dirty Snatcher was bound to tire of this profession not soon
e_n_o_u_g_h
and that's how you do it
%%%%%%%%%%
Bill wore him down
d_o_w_n
d_o_w_n
d o w n
d o w n
D O W N
until that damned scarf was close enough for him to
reach out &&
y*a*n*k
& poor little Scabior finally had to
fear
for his own life
But what to do next?
Your move, Bishop
%%%%%%%%%%
Now that the prey's been caught,
is it really just a
j:o:u:r:n:e:y
back home?
With the con artist
in tow?
Unwise move
It won't bring back Fleur
"Greyback says Veelas are quite
t–a–s–t–y,
mate"
It isn't just the beast in him
that's sending the shiver up
Bill's spine anymore
.::fear::.
.::rage::.
.::curiosity::.
.::h_u_n_g_e_r::.
(very quite possibly of a
different sort)
Keep your eyes on him, Bill
Scabior's much more cunning than people give him credit for
%%%%%%%%%%
Okay
So don't play on the Beast inside
Yes, t~a~m~e yourself, Bill
You've been good at that for
months
&& still he's alive
(why is that?)
(are you stupid?)
(Scabior, for Merlin's sake!)
dis-
patch –
him
NOW
So what that his hair is long as a girl's?
(yours is, too, much to Mum's dismay)
So what that his eyes & remarks suck you in &
hold your thoughts
longer than they probably ought to?
(Fleur used to do that all the time…!)
So what that he's walking around what used to be your
"s-a-f-e h-a-v-e-n"
and…not leaving?
(okay, now that's just boggling—shouldn't he have escaped by now & shouldn't you have done a better job of
stowing him away somewhere?)
%%%%%%%%%%
"They'll come for me"
Mm-hmm
"Greyback and the others won't stop until they reach me"
Bill can very easily tune him out, of course
(of c~o~u~r~s~e)
"I'm sure they'll…they'll kill me"
I_g_n_o_r_e him
So he'll flop onto a chair
&& cross his legs
&& pretend to stare out the…bloody window
"I should've just taken you in, too"
*snort*
"She—She was Greyback's"
Bill's growl f-i–l—l~s the room,
s into their ears,
encompasses them completely…
"And you, you bastard, you're fucking
M.I.N.E"
Ah-ah-ah
there's that feeling again
a shiver that travels across the skin
&& l_o_d_g_e_s
itself in the throat
No
N-o
N o
N o
N o
N O
Don't you dare say it, Bill—
"Oh, if I'm 'fucking yours,' shouldn't I do my d*a*m*n*e*d*e*s*t
to save you?"
And there goes all shreds of light
%%%%%%%%%%
As the darkness
c-O-n-S-u-M-e-S
&& coldness turns to
scaldinghotw_a_r_m_t_h
it's…
shocking&&mental&&funny
Oh, dear Bill
You've never felt so
a~l~i~v~e
—raked nails—
—bitten skin—
—tender kisses—
(Godric, what were either of you
t!h!i!n!k!i!n!g ?)
But actually…maybe this makes a bit of
sense
Bill can take him with him &&…
find a new
adventure
But what better adventure is there
than the tempting one
right beside him?
After all…
Hermione's scarf doesn't smell of Hermione,
a-n-y-m-o-r-e

YAY! Five pages… I thought of this pairing the opening night of the seventh movie, and I was just dying to write them—and now that Scabior was finally added to the character list on FFN, I can post this! XD Whatta scary idea of Greyback getting Fleur, though…although I do wonder why Fleur wasn't called into question—as I wrote above, she is technically a half-breed… Also, the title comes from a Rasmus song.
Thanks for reading, and please review!

2017 note: Ah, yes, the pains of getting a character added to a fandom's list on FFN… B/ Anyway, dark!Bill is always fun to write, but a Scabior who's just so purely for himself that he can be evil one second and good the next is perf. ;3
