Burns {because the Dark Lord is back}

Summary:

A collection of drabbles to recount in about a hundred words the myriad of emotions – fear, joy, fervor, horror – that caught certain Death Eaters in the instant the Dark Lord laid a finger on Wormtail’s Dark Mark, and after almost fifteen years of silence they learned he was back.

Each drabble has a different Death Eater as protagonist.
Burning, of course, is the Dark Mark.

Notes:

The titles of the drabbles are quotes from 'Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire' (drabble 1, 2, 4, 5) or 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' (drabble 3).

Chapter 1: One, too cowardly to return...

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

 

 

 

A cold-blooded rush of fury rises in him, ready to explode.

He’s in front of him, dizzy, confused, forgetful.

Stunned, again.

The anger finally takes him while he’s watching his renowned champion, tragically too far from the Cup.

But this time, he promises himself, somebody is going to pay.

He rants without restraint, enraged.

“SABOTAGE!” he keeps yelling, aware that his fury won’t abate for days.

 

Then, the pain.

Abrupt, scorching, wrenching.

Forgotten.

 

And rage takes only an instant to fade away.

Because the Dark Lord is back,  and that makes him a dead man.
