Lianda (Dumbledore/Voldemort):

"You're the only wizard I've ever feared. And the only one I've ever loved." Red, mad eyes pierced hard, grey, bespectacled ones.

"Are you sure this is what you want, Tom? Old man sex?"

"Crucio!"

"Aah...Bondage..you always were a wayward child, Tom.."

Riko (Remus/Snape):

"You have to forgive them," Remus explained patiently.

"I don't," replied the sullen black head.

Remus sighed and leaned against the wall. "You do. They don't mean anything by it. They just need someone to tease to make them feel big."

"I hate them."

Remus pushed back greasy, black bangs and kissed the other boy's forehead.

"I know," he said simply.

Lianda (Harry/Dudley):

Dudley backed slowly into his room. There was no where he could run. "That....in your pocket...it-it's your wand, isn't it? You freak..get away from me. MUM! DAD! Help me!"

A maniacal grin. "No, Big D...it's not my wand this time..."

Riko (Neville/Dean):

Neville was crying in his sleep again. Dean had been trying to ignore him, but as always, the tears were too loud. So, silently, he slipped out of bed and padded across the floor to sit on the other bed.

"Mommy..." Neville whimpered.

"Shhh..." Dean ran his fingers through Neville's hair. "Sleep."

Lianda (Remus/Harry):

The prematurely aging man lookied shocked, but then smiled and walked up to the boy and caressed his face. "Do you know...you look just like your father. It's really uncanny. He was one of my best friends."

"Professor...I thought you and Sirius..."

"Yes well. Azkaban took all the bite out of him."

Riko (Hermione/Remus):

"Uh, Professor Lupin?"

"Yes, Miss Granger."

"I wanted... to talk about... my mark on the last essay."

Professor Lupin stopped marking the test in front of him and looked up. "If memory serves me, I believe I gave you 100%. You want me to change it?"

"What?" Hermione blinked, looked away and blushed. "I was just wondering if you noticed anything...odd..."

"Odd? Not that I noticed."

"Not even any of my theories?"

"No."

"Or that part where I asked if you were single and willing to date a student?"

"No."

"No as in..."

Lupin smiled. "Just no, Miss Granger. No, no and no."

Lianda (Snape/Lily):

The seventeen year old boy looked away in pain. "So," he spat. "It's James, then."

"Yes. I'm sorry Severus. But I really, truly love him."

"You used to hate him."

"I was young. We..grew into each other. Oh, Severus. I know about you. And Voldemort. You have to promise you'll help me protect James."

"Why should I?” Came the bitter remark.

"For me. For what we used to have."

He looked into her clear, unflinching eyes. “I promise.”

Riko (Sirius/Oliver):

The man on the pitch looked bedraggled and tired. Oliver was faintly aware that he should recognize the face, but he couldn't place it with any of the important Quidditch teams, so his brain simply glossed over it as unimportant.

"Can you tell me where Harry Potter is?" The man rasped.

Oliver shrugged. "Dunno, he hasn't been to practice in a while."

"Oh. Thank you, anyway." The man moved off without another word, leaving Oliver to wonder faintly if that parting glance had been wariness or to check out his ass.

Either way, it had little to do with Quidditch and Oliver turned back to the matter at hand.

-and then Riko's internet died-
