THEO GAUNT

✖          LUCY WEASLEY      ┋     CONFESSIONS

   LUCY WEASLEY COULD DRIVE HIM CRAZY, with every sweet stutter or every shallow breath she puffed out with those swollen, devoured lips of hers. and now she wore nothing but thin purple straps beneath that DEVIL COAT that in his mind, adorned every smoothed curve of skin his fingers had yet to touch, LIPS yet to taste. the threat of shivers almost fucking startled him as he felt her hand grip onto his sleeve                    did she fucking trust him? he wasn’t fucking trustworthy, much less by someone like her. how could she be STUPID enough to even think it? and why the fuck did it make him so MAD suddenly? ‘ -you ask too many fucking questions. ’ he didn’t know why he SMIRKED then.

   THEO WATCHED THE BARRIER DISSOLVE. or rather, he heard it tear itself apart behind him, followed by the sound of sadistic cackling and an incoming onslaught that was bound to end BADLY                    and not for those who wore the mark he knew belonged in HIS OWN fucking future; green and black. a certain DOLOHOV glanced his way; theo could see the threatening twitch of his hand, ready to destroy and enslave those that betrayed the RIGHT blood, before the realisation glazed over green eyes. theo didn’t stop, continuing along the path until they reached a small opening between the multitude of trees and leaves. ‘ we’re hiding right now. look around, it’s just me and you, all alone. ’

   THE PERFECT CHANCE, THEY MIGHT SAY. going forward, theo had other priorities than a girl with her last name, with the reputation they had for fraternising with the ENEMY. sure, he knew what he had to do tonight, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t fucking PISSED that it had to happen right now, just as soon as it was getting so fucking GOOD. as a frustrated sigh made it past the lips he ran his tongue across, he reached for the hands that tugged on his, pinning them against the rough bark of a tree behind her. that familiar chocolate-covered strawberry scent beckoned him, INFURIATED him. theo touched his lips to her exposed neck, dragging his palm down the bark in PHYSICAL pain.

  ‘ FUCK, LUCE, YOU’RE FUCKING KILLING ME. ’ for all the patience theo had learned to grow, and for all the fucking CONSIDERATION he’d practised, all of it seemed to slip away from him then, setting loose the STARVING animal that hungered for all things lucy weasley. he bared his teeth, grazing it slightly against the skin of her SHOULDER, feeling that fucking strap against his tongue. ‘ we’re not fucking FINISHED here. ’ rustling sounded from amongst the shrubbery, forcing hazel eyes to glance up at hers. ‘ -i can’t fucking believe i’m saying this, but i’ve got to leave. ’ he’d been living under a false name for TOO long, living a LIE long enough. ‘ stay here, you’ll be safe. ’ why did he care?

                                       the rustling FADES, another SOLDIER who knew their place.                                             ‘                    stay OUT of the way, princess. this will get UGLY. ’

✖          ARI GREENGRASS      ┋     LOYALTIES

   THIS FUCKING TOURNAMENT WAS FULL OF SHIT. people had bigger problems to deal with than to play some stupid fucking game. he still didn’t want to LOSE, but the point remained that it was dumb. theo had always planned on finding ari, on coaxing her into giving him her flag. it seemed only fitting that she strolled right in, hips SWAYING and legs as lean and slender as ever. the scowl was quick to shift into a grin, as he waved jiera patil elsewhere           she KNEW where to go next. he moved to face ariana, hands tucked into his pockets, seemingly nonchalant despite the gruffness of his LAUGH. ‘ there is NO WAY i’m telling you where our flag is. ’ but theo did let his eyes fall down the whole length of her, hazel lingering at her slim waist, all the way up to her PLUMP pink lips. ‘ -but i’m not completely beyond BRIBERY, i won’t lie.’ shameless, as always.

        ‘ so how about it, LITTLE ANGEL? ’ she’d NEVER find the flag.                ‘ you handing it over? ’               not on the HIPPOGRIFF’S back.

✖          LUCY WEASLEY      ┋     CONFESSIONS

   SHE FITS PERFECTLY IN HIS ARMS, her tiny waist tucked under his fingertips as he squeezed them around her hips and tugged her harder against him. control teetered on the edge, as it had done since the very first fucking moment he’d agreed to this ridiculous fucking ARRANGEMENT. theo had chastised himself plenty of times since then, believing patience to be a lost art, and a virtue he didn’t bear in any bone in his fucking body. and yet there he stood, in the WINTERY air, his back pressed against freezing stone, with lucy fucking weasley and her chocolate strawberry-scented lips entangled so wildly between his. she was so familiar, so deliriously DELICIOUS, it was borderline insanity.

   HE WATCHED HER, LIKE A PREDATOR. he watched how her fingers picked at a thin strap of PURPLE at her shoulder, how the lace curved around pale, untouched skin that disappeared under her coat                      he might have GROWLED then, an all too familiar hunger rising in his veins as he dragged his whiskey hued eyes to the caramel of hers. ‘ FUCK. ’ the control slipped further out of reach; a hand grazes against the side of her pink cheek, before he buries his fingers into the wild tangles of BROWN, and devours her with the force of his sweeping tongue and STARVING kiss. ‘ i’m not a good fucking guy, princess. ’ not good enough to question her twice, that was for fucking sure.

   AND THEN CAME THAT FUCKING SOUND. the sound that WASN’T her fluttering moans, or her pleasure, but instead his future                    he’d fucking kill them all. and, for a long, fleeting moment, theo considered NOT stopping, considered caving into the strawberry scent and hesitant touches. fuck, he even considered hiding her away from the impending doom they were about to face, if it meant he could SWALLOW her desire and watch it play across her face later. alas, with one sound followed another, and it wasn’t long before they became impossible to ignore. a kaleidoscope of colours charged towards the castle, its barrier dissolving like an array of a million falling stars.

   HE DIDN’T KNOW WHY HE DID WHAT HE DID. but theo found himself swinging her behind him, thinking of ways he could spare her from the danger. shit, he hadn’t seen the moment coming. HAD CAM? fucking hell, had ARIANA? the blurring haze in his mind soon dissipated, a fierce concentration replacing it as he gripped his fingers around her palm. what the fuck was he about to do? he didn’t think even HE knew. ‘ follow me. we’ll be safe in the FOREST. ’ -where the shadows now grew thicker, an army of black and green rising from the dark, faces shielded. HOME                 the closest thing, he reminded himself. ‘ shit, luce. of all the fucking nights to wear that TEMPTATION.  .  . ’

                                       it BURNED into his mind. ‘ remember what you SAID to me. ’                                              those words. ‘ i want to RIP those purple straps to SHREDS. ’
