Title: Siren's Call
Author: orpheus_samhain
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Pansy/Walden
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 100
Disclaimer: Characters belong to JKR
Author's Notes: A drabble instead of a fic, but RL got in the way. Written for snapelike's Pillagers and Plunderers: Privateering for the Professional Pirate Phiclet Phest.

Walden Macnair stumbled backwards and steadied himself against the mast. It was late in the night, and he was drunk as a lord, but this was too much. A naked woman was sitting on the railing, humming and combing her long black hair, as if it was the most common thing on a ship with all-men crew.

The executioner sneaked up and caught her in a strong embrace.

"Ye're mine!"

"Yes." The girl reciprocated the embrace and kissed Walden with cold lips. "And you're mine."

She leaned back and swished her tail in the air, taking the executioner with her.


and a limerick:

An executioner from Halifax
Sailed the seas with his faithful axe.

The landlubbers and sea-dogs alike
Never knew when he would strike,

Until he plunged the blade into their backs.

Midnight Crawler

The silk glistened faintly in the moonlight coming in through the window. Walden let the smooth fabric glide across his fingers and fall back into a drawer. Stealing a glance at the sleeping Pansy, he felt around it again.

This time, his hand came across a lacy chemise. Pressing the see-through garment to his face, the executioner inhaled deeply. The flowery scent clung to everything that belonged to her. He hung the chemise over a chair and quietly slipped from the bedroom.

Tomorrow, he would be sitting at breakfast hoping, imaging that she would be wearing it underneath her robes.

Good Old-Fashioned Hero

"There's a lot of true and useful things in the novels."

Surprised, Hermione looked up from her book.

"Of course there is."

Sirius looked smug.

"Yes. One of the many ironclad rules is that a hero is always rewarded--"

Hermione put up her hand.

"Not always. In Muggle contemporary literature--"

"Oh, screw that! A hero gets rewarded."

Hermione furrowed her brows. She was so dumb sometimes.

"I've killed a spider for you this morning, remember?"

Puckering his lips, Sirius leaned forward. Hermione laughed and kissed him lazily, gasping in surprise when he tackled her down onto the couch.

Harry jumped from around the corner and shouted three spells in quick succession, sending two figures flying. The third one, whom his spell had missed, tried to dive behind the boxes littering the dingy street. Before he got there, a sickly yellow light reached him. Harry turned around. A pale hand gripping the wand was still protruding from around the corner, the wizard in black, hooded cloak attached to it on the other end. The grey eyes narrowed in anger.

"Do it again, Potter, and I'll kill you if they don't!" he spat.

"Hey, I knew you were behind me!"

Harry didn't put his jacket on and Draco didn't take off his hat. This way they showed their mutual disrespect without resorting to insults.

"I'm not taking any case from you, Malfoy. Forget it."

Slim fingers played with an unlit cigarette. The way Harry looked at it suggested that he was waiting for Draco to light it only to have an excuse to throw him out.

"The Lestranges escaped yesterday." The voice lacked its usual haughtiness, the lips didn't smirk. The wrist propped against the edge of Harry's dusty desk seemed surprisingly fragile.

"Bring the locket," Harry heard himself saying.

"Look, it's changing colour!" The messy-haired boy hopped excitedly.

"Of course, it is. You've just added gentian roots."

"I never thought it would work."

The blond shook his head in exasperation. They were using The Potions Book, older than the oldest wizard, its origin lost in the mists of time.

Harry carefully measured out the dried verbena leaves into the cauldron. Suddenly, the froth covered the entire surface of the brew.

"What! I followed the recipe!"

"It says nothing of soaking one's sleeve in the potion." Draco fished out the edge of overlong, dripping fabric and held it out accusingly.

"It won't change anything between us, Draco."

"Why would your marriage change anything?"

"This is only to keep up appearances."

"I don't know if I want to keep up appearances. Maybe I should find myself another lover, not so clandestine for a change."

"Don't you dare!"

"I have to be sure you won't leave me."

"How?"

"The Unbreakable Vow."

"It's Dark magic. Besides, we would need a bonder and we can't risk telling anyone about us."

"There is other way to bond us together forever. It will only require your and my blood."

"Fine. How much?"

"To the last drop."

The forefinger and middle finger massaged the inside of the wrist. The veins protruding over the tendons were pulsing wildly with blood.

"You said you didn't want to do it ever again." The voice wasn't accusing, merely sad.

"I'm still saying it."

"Why did you come, then?"

The wrist was roughly wrenched from the tender grip, the outline of the stiff shoulders and flaxen hair visible against the light pouring through the door left ajar.

"Maybe-- Maybe I wanted to check if sober I would see the same in you."

"And your verdict is..."

"It isn't safe to meet here."

The glint, the hint, the rustle.

Out of the corner of his eye, on the periphery of his field of vision, almost there... Draco stops, turns around and waits. Nothing, as usual. But just let him move and continue on his way and the shadow, the feeling at the nape of his neck will be back. Another ghost in the castle, this one completely invisible. This one causing the waves of heat to travel through his body, instead of the cold freezing blood in his veins. The shimmer and fingers close around Draco's wrist.

The kiss, the sigh, the moan.
