Bat In The Belfry

“ You cannot kill me in any way that matters. ” | Severus @ Sirius | @indiscretus

“You are one  dramatic  piece of work, I’ll give you that,” Years of nothing but screams and groans for company almost made that an endearing quality – if it wasn’t so fucking annoying. “If I wanted to kill you – and believe me, I do have my moments – “ Of course if he was going back to Azkaban on a body count, it sure as hell wasn’t going to be over a waste of a corpse like this one, “We wouldn’t be having this pleasant conversation. Now – I could untie you and we could conclude this matter civilly – or I can take you up on your challenge of finding a way that matters, but then we’d be here all day and frankly your company is not quite the entertainment I’m looking for.” 

Dumbledore was going to get his socks knotted into absolute twists, but at this point Sirius was beyond caring. What good was a spy if he never delivered anything useful anyway? “Tell me where he is, and we can both go on our way. And don’t feed me bullshit – if you thought I was impatient before, I promise you Azkaban worked wonders on that short wick of mine.” The devil may care smile bore some resemblance to the past, if only because it was easier to be cavalier than anything else. Not to mention he hardly needed to break out intimidation tactics on

Snivellus

he wouldn’t recognize true artistry if it danced naked right in front of him.  

Then again, Snape might just remember what his temper actually looked like – in which case, he’d said more than enough to get his point across.

A Fellow Boy Who Lived

❛ I meant… How are you holding up? ❜ | Harry @ Cedric | @indiscretus

Harry had been a nigh-constant presence at his bedside – at least whenever his parents weren’t around to terrify the poor kid off the scene, as if all this were somehow his fault.Between them and the mountainous guilt complex the other was already carrying, Cedric couldn’t really fault the persistence that framed Harry’s concerns – however nervous they could be at times.

“How many are asking you that question, I wonder?” Shifting a bit on the bed that was doomed to be his best friend for at least another week, he offered Harry a reassuring smile. “I’m alive – it’s a lot more than I ought to be, considering what was waiting at the end of that portkey. Still hurts like mad, mind, but that ought to pass – least according to Pomfrey, anyway. I’m alright though,” He promised, truly meaning it.

Wanting to push past this, Cedric dared to chuckle despite knowing he would regret it almost immediately. “You know – when you were named champion, I can’t say I was best pleased. Felt like you might be grabbing for a bit too much, you know?” He slanted Harry a glance, wondering how macabre humor might fly with him, but going for it anyway, “As a fellow boy who lived, I got to say, it’s really not at all what it’s cracked up to be.”

Black Market Rescues

‘don’t touch me.’ | Newt @ Gellert I’m so sorry | @indiscretus

“I am afraid it cannot be helped, Mr. Scamander,” Gellert had thought he recognized the shivering, broken bundle of humanity being held in the thieves corral but had not been able to confirm his suspicions visually. A few subtle inquiries had afforded him information on what  had almost been stolen – and after some internal debate, he had purchased the creature in question before turning around to liberate the human element.

“You’re in no fit state to apparate on your own – and if you are concerned about the Runespoor, I already have her sequestered safely. Now come – quickly, as I’d rather not deal with being seen,” Though his tone was insistent and his arm open to receive the other, Gellert made no move to grab him again. This would be easier if the damage wasn’t exacerbated with a fight – and frankly he didn’t think Scamander would survive a splinching on top of everything else.

Asking The Real Questions

indiscretus‌:

@severelydisenchanted | Salazar | out of the blue

“Er… Professor?” Harry ducked his head slightly, hovering nervously in the doorway after class. This had been bothering him since the man had arrived and taken up a teaching position, but it had taken a considerable amount of time to work up the courage to actually ask the question.

“I don’t- mean to cause offense, but I was just wondering… Why did you make a secret chamber and leave a really deadly creature set on killing in it?“

Gazing up from his desk, Salazar observed the young Potter boy as he hesitated in the doorway, wondering if this might be the point in which the two of them held an honest discussion. He had left it in the boy’s court whether or not the connection between them would be addressed, having a feeling it might appear aggressive or frightful for him to be the one to breach the topic. As it was, it seemed he need not have worried, for the boy before him seemed to hold little fear of him, to frame his question so impertinently.

Centuries spent dealing with the willfulness of youth kept him from revealing the amusement that struck him, though his expression bore a hint of warmth that belied the idea he might in fact be offended ( even if, in and of itself, the question and its implications was, indeed, offensive. )

“That would be a very good question indeed,” Salazar mused softly, “If that was even remotely the truth of matters.” Folding his hands, he leaned forward on his arms in order to keep himself from standing –  pacing the room would do little to keep the young man before him from losing nerve, after all. Impertinence did not always denote disrespect or even bravado – for all Salazar knew, the lad simply lacked in a tactical disposition.

“The Chamber was never meant to remain secret – it was part of many failsafes put in motion by myself and the other founders in order to defend the castle and her inhabitants in the event of an attack. The Chamber in particular was designed to connect to underground routes that would allow the castle to either be evacuated or stocked in the event of a siege, with its primary entrance guarded by the creature in question. Had things gone to plan, the means of controlling and directing her would have been passed down from Headmaster to Headmaster – as it was, my retreat from Hogwarts came hastily, and the instructions along with many other plans and projects for the school instead ended up trapped behind her nest these past centuries.”

CONCERNING RAGE & SEVERUS SNAPE

Once tripped, Sirius’ rage is not something that can be easily curbed. He had very specific triggers in his youth that would result in downright explosions of temper, and when this happened the best thing to do was simply get out of his way until he tired himself out.

As a teenager, Sirius was pretty much Tinkerbell – he only had enough room for one really powerful emotion at a time, because when he wasn’t playing at being the finest in the room, he was actually pretty numb inside as he fought to disassociate himself from what was going on at home, and the fun he was trying to have at school.  

He had a very unhealthy coping mechanism for his anger in Severus; taking out his violent urges on a target that ultimately, could never harm him was catharsis to Sirius. He felt powerless at home – and the power he held over Severus was so extreme it left him giddy at times. He took true joy in tormenting Severus because even though he was poor and a halfblood, he fought back with the meanness of a snake and that kept Sirius from ever having to feel guilty about taking his frustrations out on him.

Often after an outpouring of rage and violent activity ( generally resulting in various levels of property damage – most often to things he owned himself, but occasionally to public school property like desks and portraits and rarely, if ever, to the belongings of someone else save his ‘targets’ ) Sirius would become quiet and shockingly reasonable.  

Once the pent up emotions escaped, Sirius would often regain his clarity and be able to acknowledge where he went wrong. He might even make amends and promise to do better (meaning it wholeheartedly; he never made amends unless he meant them – if he wasn’t sorry, he would simply remain stubborn, but tired. )

This was a consistent cycle for him, one that his friends would become familiar with over the years. Sirius was always volatile, but with Remus and Peter’s influence, he became less and less violent during his time at Hogwarts. The one thing that never changed though, was Severus Snape.

Using Snape as an outlet when things got to be too much was habitual and easy for Sirius. The fact that Severus had been the initial connection between himself and James – their shared condescension on the train and their united dislike of him seemed, to Sirius view, one of the core aspects of their good friendship – meant that whenever he felt James might be drifting on him, it would be time to make sport of Severus again. To Sirius, it became a twisted form of bonding with James, as much as it was to feel a little more in control of something in his life.

When this eventually became something James was no longer interested in taking part of, Sirius got worse with Severus, as though blaming him for the fact James didn’t want to play anymore. Where James began to grow up, Sirius’ more volatile and abusive aspects started to become more clear – and in a desperate move to both be better and keep James, Sirius bolted from what he felt was the source of all things bad in him: his home.

Running away was as much about escaping his home life as it was about keeping James inhis life. He knew his behavior was off-putting to Peter, and that Remus wasn’t exactly his biggest fan. James felt like the only good thing he had, so he went drastic to hold on to it. This, ultimately, lead to him living with Remus – and in truth, helping him tame down in an honest manner.

Getting away from his toxic home environment did do wonders for Sirius, and being around Remus was an excellent external control for his more volatile energy. He found ways to keep busy and eventually started coping. Unfortunately, what progress he did manage to make was utterly obliterated by his time in Azkaban, and everything bad went and made itselfexponentially worse.

This is why Sirius flies at Severus every chance he gets. Everything is a mess in his brain, James is gone, Peter is a traitor, Remus believed he was actually capable of killing James and Lily and his godson is both a mess and in constant danger. It’s too much – it would have been too much when he was learning to hold more than one emotion at a time, but now, all that is gone. Going for Severus Snape’s throat is the only familiar thing he has, and the best part is Severus still bites back just as harshly.

A lot of people think Severus pushed Sirius into his madness, triggered him and taunted him but honestly? Fighting with Severus was one of the very, very few things keeping Sirius at all stable while in Grimmauld Place – and that, in and of itself, spells out a lot.
