I am a dead person pretending to be alive. - Astoria Greengrass Notes: alternative summary: After the war, Astoria tries to cast a Patronus. Or, three times Astoria tries to cast a Patronus and one time she succeeds. (See the end of the work for more notes.) Work Text:...>> A candle flickers and suddenly, the shadows are moving. My eyes follow them, the monstrous shapes growing larger, looming over me, the darkness sucking out all the light from the candle and the faint moonlight streaming through my window. Sitting on the floor of my bedroom, I am paralysed with fear, hand wrapped tightly around my wand, knuckles white and straining. Heart beating fast, thumping loudly against my ribs, the thump, thump, thump growing more and more erratic, my breathing shallow, and I can’t get enough air. My mind sees only the black of the monsters, the crimson of blood, dripping, smearing, and suddenly, my hands are bloody and I scream. My scream dies when all the shadows merge into one, wrapping around me, my whole body freezing, the window frosted over and my shallow breaths misting in front of my eyes. I can’t look away, I can’t close my eyes and I stare into the deep abyss of the monster, my mind as frozen as my body. Dead, scarred, bloated bodies float in front of me, missing limbs, cauterized wounds and I smell the burning flesh. Bile and bottomless terror coil inside me as familiar images play themselves over and over again, like a broken record. As broken as my mind. Icy blue eyes, once full of life, stare at me, the dead, blank eyes of my best friend. Rona. They stare, piercing through my skin, they stare at my guilty soul. I don’t know what’s happening but Rona rises from the dead and points a finger at me, full of accusation. I can’t take it and I throw up, but nothing comes out, and I dry heave. My face is wet, full o |

And I have always loved playing with fire. - Astoria Greengrass Notes: (See the end of the work for notes.) Work Text: I’m sitting at my usual table in The White Wyvern, staring out of the vaguely dirty window. Rain is drizzling outside, dark clouds drifting overhead, transforming Knockturn Alley in...>>to something far more sinister than it is on a bright, sunny day. But even bright sunny days have a hard time penetrating the inherent darkness of the Alley. People are passing by in a hurry, huddled beneath their cloaks, casting weather protection charms against the rain, cursing when they don’t work as well as they should. It’s fairly early for a stiff drink, and yet, I am already nursing my second glass of Firewhisky, the bartender, ancient Aeschylus, occasionally giving me disapproving looks with his one eye. The other was lost in some duel ages ago, the black patch across the empty space where it used to be familiar to me as my own father’s piercing green eyes. Aeschylus is like a grandfather, his calloused hands held me when I was born and probably killed someone in the same night, doing my father’s bidding. He doesn’t approve of my drinking. But, I have never been one to care about approval, so I merely salute him with my glass before finishing the Firewhisky, tapping my fingers on the table for another one. There is a letter on the table in front of me, the contents mildly nauseating, and mixing with my pre-existing hangover, it’s not a good combination. Yesterday was Rona’s and Colin’s birthday, something we always joked about, how they were destined to be together. Or it would have been, had they not been dead. So, self-medicating with alcohol seemed like a good idea. And after receiving that letter, relieving my hangover with more alcohol was inevitable. I rub my temples, keeping the upcoming headache at bay for a moment, trying to think of what |
