| ToGo orNot ToGo ToGo Or Not ToGO I have developed mixed feelings about attending Azkatraz because each time I check their site they have added a new guest or event and are charging more $$$ for each new feature that they present along with mark ups for incremental deadlines ... I do understand that everything must have to cost something ... but I also remember when one bought a ticket for a Convention and that was ‘ it ‘ … all inclusive … I want to go to this Con … but feel like a second class citizen because I bought a four day package … but it seems not to be enough … It is not the ‘Full Blown Package’ plus extras … I did the early bird special too … but seem sadly again to have hit the sliding glass door of it in any case … I’m feeling left out of 'some' of the good stuff simply because I could not cough up the duckets for each and every one of the special events … well I am not wealthy in money … so that settles that … My proposed submissions for the Art Gallery have also come to a skcreetching halt on account of my personal little turbulent dilema … My Bitch and Rant is clear enough, I think … I’m tossed on a sea of doubt … I would love to meet other Potter fans, but I can do that on line here on d.a. and at LiveJournal. The pure joy of tactile encounters with other Potteristas may not be mine in this year or physicality … * sigh * I'm down about it, but will weather it ... There it is … I have voiced my trouble … I now have let it loose, come what may from it … I do understand that the Convention is a machine that must be fed ... I also must voice that there is a limit beyond which I cannot venture … Brenda/Sempra |

| EverWhelmed Overwhelmed … Strifed and foresworn … Thoroughly broken … DarkSpellCaster low and forlorn … Before TheWhiteTomb Ye art Bourn … To falter, sorrow, ever long to mourn … I just found this in one of my binders ... I hesitated to post it ... It was a dark moment for me too ... Poor Albus and the sadness of canon ... |

| Please MayIComeIn The burden of it was far too much to bear ... Anguish hemorrhaged profusely from the rend ... the remedy was clear, the solution simple ... simple solutions however are often monumentally difficult to initiate ... One can often apply a temporary salve, the 'easy' remedy - at times this can prove sufficient, leaving but a slight scar, and with time a faded memory ... Yet such a terrible wound as this can run quite deep ... remaining constant and cruel, a painful reminder that the flesh can be weak, though Wizards and men strive to be more than this ... The door opened slightly, a sliver of light stretched across the tiles of the dark corridor. "Please … may I come in ..." The whispered tone implored, it strained and cracked softy, requesting asylum from the cold, lonely darkness of the long hall ... The shadow passed from the dark, a velvety rustle of robes into the welcoming warmth and the soft light ... The door closed without a sound, leaving the stillness of the night beyond the portal. 'Sometimes we must choose between what is right and what is easy ...' ADSS A meager submission to Vizan's provokative challenge over at d.a. |

| DrummingItUpForQuidditch Drumming it up for the Quidditch Banners Professor Snape strode out onto the bright green grass, broom clutched in one tightly clenched fist. His referee robes catching the heavy breeze that had come up like a great black sail, it billowed ominously behind him. He let his broom drop to the grass, then waved open the Quidditch trunk with a languid stroke of his hand. He stood for a moment poised and glowering up at the two teams. He drew a deep breath, puffing himself to his full stature; cold, hard and mean faced, he then cast the ball magically upward, with an outstretched arm high into the waiting ring of competitors. The match ensued with a roar of the crowds and a frenzy of action in the blustery air. The Quaffle was in play at the hands of the visiting team. They tore aggressively across the air, beating the ball mercilessly towards the rings. They were certainly off the leash this day. The Home team would be hard pressed against such ferocious opponents. They would have to be extremely lucky with their Seeker or work extra hard for a win this day. So hey … Got an itch for Quidditch? I’m hoping for a Slytherish Team to manifest itself … I’m not a participant … but for sure an enthusiastic spectator … SempraSeverus Azkatraz 2009 |

| ROTFVK IV ReturnOfTheFearlessVampireKillers IV Lucius strained his senses in the darkness, he had drawn up his knees, sitting balled up in that fashion for so long had made him cramp … He stretched out a leg, rubbing out the knot in his thigh … He was fraying at the edges … he could only just remain focused, the difficulty being that there was nothing visual to focus on. His legillimens was poor at the best of times, never having to rely on such disciplines, he now simply glared into the void … “What, may I ask, has possessed you to bring this infernal situation down upon us Lucius … Who are these devils” At first startled further into the opposing corner Lucius reached out across the black, he found an arm and shoulder, embracing the familiar figure desperately … Severus winced but found himself equally relieved that he was in friendly company … “Severus …” Lucius sobbed into the other Wizards neck. “You should not be so pleased to find me here … I am just as much a prisoner of these fiends as you are …” “They are monsters of the worse kind, I was a fool to come here, and now … “ There came a sound of footfalls outside the door, a key turned, the door swung open on screeching hinges, Black hooded figures roughly brought the Wizards to their feet … This would not be a blood feast … perhaps something worse … A grating voice commanded the wraithlike minions … “Take them outside …” Severus stumbled along the crumbling corridor, he was dismayed by the inhuman strength of his handler… He was assessing the dire situation instant to instant … was there no way out of this? Lucius grimaced along the way, he was weak but would fight bitterly to the last of his ability … What sort of nightmare were these bastard things brewing. The Wizards were thrust against a broken wall, the crowd of Vampire wavered before them, awaiting their masters will … Severus waved his hand out against the throng … A slowly fading streak followed his finger tips … a questionable barrier between them … The vampires grinned in their amusement, their white teeth gleaming fiendishly by the nights eerie shine … The crowd opened for the Headman, He stepped forward, towering at the front of them … He glowered at the Wizards for a time, then pulled his lips back into a sickly sweet toothy smile … “Run …” |

| ROTFVK III ReturnOfTheFearlessVampireKillers III Rough sounds brought him out of his troubled delirium; the scrapping of the base of the door against the dirt heralded a renewed evil … He was almost mad from the horrid routine, one or two of them would come in after dusk to feed by candle light … a sickly, controlled - almost delicate endeavor … One might take hold of his hand and begin to stroke it gently while the other would comb its gray fingers through his hair, lulling him with sweet sounds and caresses until suddenly and much to his horror he would find himself being feasted upon … this would occur in a matter of seconds after which he would slump to the ground exhausted and quite literally, nearly drained … Just short of killing him these creatures knew their limit … The Master of their lair would inflict an unimaginable penalty should they accidentally finish off their reluctant lodger. He dragged himself up against the far wall, braced for a fight, which in his weak state he knew he had not even a meager chance to resist … Cold dank air assailed his very bones as the door swung wide, a tall gaunt shadow filled the threshold, wavered there for a moment before stepping aside, replaced by another strange mass, something was cast into the room, it tumbled onto the floor, a muffled thud accompanied by a hoarse groan came up from the pathetic writhing thing … the door slammed shut within a moment leaving the chamber once more in pitch blackness … He stayed with his back pressed to the wall. Something shifted on the dirt before him, he shivered at the sound, proximity was his enemy and there was no way of knowing weather this was another vile feeder or something else … He shifted further away along the wall towards a corner, no more sound came from the darkness, he made no noise himself, save for shallow breath … he strained each and every nerve to the limit, faint breaths other than his own caught his ear, nothing more … Severus turned onto his side, he could barely execute the effort, throbbing pain in his neck made it almost impossible to swallow, a parched throat had stifled that too in any case. A cracked groan was all that he could express in this dark. He realized suddenly that his confinement was not solitary, someone or thing shared this miserable inkwell with him… Lucius braced at the threatening noise … Severus became alert to the scuffle beyond the soles of his boots; he pulled himself away, finding purchase against a wall opposite the unidentified sound … Blind to one another’s identity, each Wizard settled guardedly pressed against the opposite ends of the occulted cell. |

| ROTFVK II ReturnOfTheFearlessVampireKillers II Clement drew a sleeve up to his nose, he breathed through his mouth, but the mere thought of the malodorous air caused him to gag none the less. Severus turned away, stifled by the offensive stench. Undeterred they moved further into the tenebrous shadows … The Muggle trembled, even the Wizard shuddered as they continued through the noxious vapors. Severus was stilled – He watched as the muggle advanced several more paces … Clement too then gave pause … The atmosphere shifted ever so slightly. A dangerous stillness descended upon them. Severus gripped his wand, only just. A frenzied blur of shades fell on the defenseless muggle, muffling his wild horrified cry. Severus remained unharmed, he took an uneven step back, he wanted to avert his eyes, but the vision held him locked to its insane impossibility. The mad swirl soon floated away in an awkward jerky fashion, Clement was lost in the hungry folds, a glimmer of gold fell to the ground from the mass … a time piece abandoned to the cold night … A gray hand swooped down, it clutched the watch and fob for an instant, then cast it disdainfully into the darkness … “He’ll not have any use for that where they will be taking him …” The shadowed figure glided forward, then around the frozen Wizard, whose poised wand did indeed impose a degree of caution upon the moment. “Another Wizard? Wandering hapless into my lair … how delightful … should I consider myself blessed with another rare and fine vintage? … Or does your presence have purpose, of some other nature …” “I come for the Wizard Malfoy … what is your price” The Vampire stood shocked into silence by the straightforward reply. He fluttered his lashes then rolled his eyes, a broad yet simple smile spread across his fiendish countenance. “Nothing less than an outright exchange at this point … You seem to be a far more interesting prospect to me … what is your name?” “Severus Snape, Professor Severus Snape “ “Well Professor, I should like to impart to you a keen lesson of my own, that time as you or that unhappy mortal might understand it has no value to we the undead … Silly mortal …” Before Severus could defend himself, the creature was upon him … the sting of his fangs sunk deep into the Wizards throat, finding the pulsing river of life there, he pulled long and hard, Severus felt the very life of him ebb away, the Vampire hummed a soft, sweet lullaby as the Wizard melted down into the necromantic mist … |

| ROTFVK I Return of the Fearless Vampire Killers ROTFVK I “The danger is considerable …” “I don’t care …” The tone was determined, itself precise, quite dangerous. “Then let us proceed. Prepare yourself Wizard … for what you are about to see … They are a gruesome lot … and the smell is overwhelming …” “You are stalling now …” “I … I am afraid” “Your fear is misplaced Muggle … My patience has gone threadbare for some time now … Do not invoke my anger … I could easily turn your usefulness as a guide to succulent bargaining chip …” Severus growled his threat low and deliberate at the reluctant man … Clement turned his eyes away, He could no longer withstand the intensity of the Wizards stare … He swallowed hard, pushing forward once again … Hope was slipping away by the inch with each terrified step. They moved onward without another word into that terrible gloom of the ancient grove. Narssisa’s plea had come with a torrent of tears, she fell into the comfort of his black robes … “No more tears … I will find him … I promise you, I will bring him back to you …” Lucius had gone missing for days, his necromantic delving had wrought this situation, Severus had become a reluctant participant in this drama, but he knew could not deny the distraught Witch … 4RomanPolanski *Sigh* |

 |
| CorvusMagus III CorvusMagus III Odin sat for a long while … silent in the opulent solitude of the Asgard throne room … He fumed and grumbled suddenly to the far side of the Hall, at the oaken doors, which shook on their wrought iron hinges, which shuddered at the resounding of his bitter disposition … “Never send crows ... to fetch crows …” |
 |
| CorvusMagus II CorvusMagus II Munin faced Hugin with his argument, he romanced him with the virtues of the mortal world … Hugin listened polite as can be imagined … but the landscape of his features told of another sentiment altogether … whatever Munin might offer, Odin’s Will was the Law … “How can I reach you, my brother …” Munin coaxed and caressed his fellow raven. “what can I say that might turn your head, persuade your heart to open to this wonderous place.” “Nothing can lure me into this … this mad delusion, have you finished?” “Yes …” Munin hung his head, exasperated. A cold pause welled up between them. “Come then … His command is finite.” Hugin reached out to Munin, quite ready to depart the mortal plane for the comfort of his masters celestial abode, only, to his dismay, Munin was not about to acompany him so willingly. “Go then, if you wish it … I’m not coming with you …” “I cannot return without you …” “I like it here …” “That is of no consequence Munin, we are his servants, His will is our duty” “I will dwell in this place … this is my world now … here I am a god” “Ah ... So that’s it … You are a vain and insolent fool Munin” The two ravens eyed one another cautiously, a great turbulence building in each … the bloody test of wills was at hand … |
 |
| CorvusMagus I CorvusMagus I Odin had sent his black henchmen down into the world of mortals, muggles, what have you … to bring him news and gossip from the halls of the Kings, even too from the meek hovels of the lowest of peasants. One of these ravens, Munin, grew fond of the world of men … he dallied there far too long. Hugin his fellow was summoned to this place to fetch Munin back to the foot of his Lord and Master … This is their Sanguine Saga. |

| Quell III (redo) Quell III “You should leave … Now … It’s coming and I cannot protect you Hermione …” “You are not in a position to tell me what to do … Have some encouraging words for me Severus … I am quite prepared to defend us both from that … that … that?” It passed from the shadow into the moonlight, and for an instant Hermione did wish that the prone Wizard was capable of the confrontation with the shadowBeast … There before them it postured itself in a disturbing manner, its ghastly snarl gleaming in the half shade of the trees … head tilting against one shoulder, eyes hooded, pupils locked with those if the stricken Wizard … The creature moaned softly … the sound of it was unnerving to both Witch and Wizard alike. Severus could feel Hermione press to him, she trembled now, he saw the tip of her Wand at the edge of his vision, it waiver along side his shoulder. There came an interminably excruciating pause … They both cast as the beast leapt. Their dual spells striking the hurtling mass – Severus knew at the very instant that they would not escape the oncoming ferocity unharmed … This had all happened much too quickly for any of them to assimilate … a third flash was delivered from another angle, accompanied by a shout that rivaled the beasts own terrible cry. Hermione did also see the flash and only just glimpsed the flourish of pale plum robes before the violent impact of fur and flesh then inky blackness covered her and her Wizard. OK … now I’m happy with this page * sigh * |

| TheStainOfBlack II Dtl 2 TheStainOfBlack II Dtl2 A most compelling request ... So I thought I would post it here too ... Sirius Black had his lifelong enemy prone and defenseless, he gazed at the pale countenance before him … Had he ever been so close as this ? He relished the thought, he wondered at it too … A wisp of a smile played at the edge of his bitter lips. 4 Joshua.G. The Squeeky Wheel gets the Grease ... |
 |
| TheStainOfBlack III TheStainOfBlack III Severus lay upon the earth motionless … his lids shot open suddenly but for that he did not move … he could see the hectic runework which surrounded him, his magickal sight redoubled in his dreamstate … He was asleep in that other place, it was here that his consciousness held sway … he was aware of this state, lucid and sublime, coupled with a surreal calmness … he exhaled softly. He shifted after a time. A soft murmur escaped him … he began to trace the runes, his index finger absorbing each sigil as he followed its angles … ‘Stop that …!’ Sirius materialized from out of the ground, a deep frown folded his brow … Severus balled up his hand into a tight fist … then released the white knuckled threat with equal fluidity … He blinked languidly yet remained silent and prone … The spectral Wizard eased too, the frown melted away, his tension receded. Each measured the other in quiet, curious observation, examining features, searching eyes cast like some haunting spell without anger, fear or intent … This was Legillimens of another sort, which now passed between them, the old wound tenderly circumnavigated by both … Severus reached his trembling hand out into the void … |
 |
| TheStainOfBlack II TheStainOfBlack II The cold rough ground bit at his back suddenly, Severus slipped away, first to the dirt then into the depths. That Icy stare remained fixed upon him however, it melted in through his clammy skin, penetrating every defensive barrier he had or could ever have mustered … This spirit would not be denied, no occulting, no matter how abstract would deter the answer sought by this ghostly delver. Severus groaned and turned weakly from the cruel rifling of his mind and soul … Sirius Black had his lifelong enemy prone and defenseless, he gazed at the pale countenance before him … had he ever been so close as this ? He relished the thought, he wondered at it too … A wisp of a smile played at the edge of his bitter lips. The breath was warm, moist, more interesting to him than he might have imagined … the rich black of lash, brow and strewn mane drew his attention from his ulterior intent … He gently stroked errant locks from the downed Wizards forehead … He pressed his hand to the soft rise of the dark chest. His ever consuming hatred for Severus wavered … something odd stirred in him … something long forgotten … a distant sentiment urging desperately to be remembered … He pulled away startled … “You bastard …” He growled low and pained from the very core of his ethereal being. |
