Whatever it Takes/Ditching Ditany

Title: Whatever it Takes
House: Gryffindor
Word Count: 100
Challenge: There Are Worse Things I Could Do
Rating: R
Characters: Rodolphus, Bellatrix, implied Longbottom family
Author's Notes: Playing with an idea that other people have floated. Adult themes (read torture). Apparently, the theme for this week for me is all about being brutal...I’ll try to lighten it up later.

"They aren’t going to break, love." Rodolphus ran a blood stained hand through his hair, this session having gone on long enough to loose it’s attraction. "We have worked on them for hours and nothing! I swear, if I hear one more bloody word about bubble gum, I’m going to strangle that woman."

Bellatrix, icy perfection firmly intact, raised one eyebrow, "Trust me, my love. There are worse things I can do."

Rudolphus raised an eyebrow of his own, refusing to pick up the gauntlet she’d cast at his feet, and waited for her to elucidate.

"Bring in the boy."

Title: Ditching Ditany

Challenge: There Are Worse Things I Could Do
Rating: R
Characters: Blaise/some random witch
Author's Notes: Heed the rating. Sick and adult themes. The redhead is not Ginny. Kind of a continuance of Hunting Honeysuckle but stands alone well. Blaise, in my book (or at least this ficlet) is one sick individual.  Took forever to track down a name for this one...Ditany is apparently a flower, btw.  *G*

Blaise tenderly pushed the hair out of the woman’s face, shaking her out of her stupor. The drugs he’d slipped her in the bar were better than he thought because she reacted calmly considering she was naked and tied to a bed.

When she finally saw the knife in his hand, her eyes went wide with fear, "Please. Don’t." Obviously, she did a quick internal check and her voice was bitter as she continued, "You raped me. You can’t do anything worse."

"Oh, yes." Blaise replied gently, "Yes, I can."

It took the redhead a very long time to die.
