hp100. For the Patronus challenge. Severus frowned. There was no escape; with Voldemort's help, the dementors already knew Severus' location. Voldemort had already achieved immortality by eliminating Potter; one only had to wait until all who opposed him were systematically eliminated.
As they descended, Severus raised his wand and concentrated on a memory, one that would betray him as Dumbledore's ally.
Two bodies, sweat-slicked, writhing, groaning, sheets tangled around limbs. Frantic love-making before the battle, strokes, thrusts, names cried out in passion, a kiss planted upon an all-too-familiar scar.
"Expecto patronum." His lazily-said spell warded off the dementors for now. He knew it wouldn't last.
Severus stared off into the distance. The dementors -- Voldemort's army -- were rapidly approaching. There was no escape; with Voldemort's help, they already knew Severus' precise location. Voldemort had already achieved his goal of immortality by eliminating Potter; it was only a matter of time before he systematically eliminated everyone who had opposed him.
As they descended, Severus raised his wand and concentrated on a memory, one that would get him killed if Voldemort "spared" him from the dementors, one that betrayed him as an ally of Dumbledore's.

"Expecto patronum." His lazily-said spell warded off the dementors for the time being. He knew it wouldn't last.
