Harry Potter Halloween Collection Competition: Prompt Used - (word) revolting
Barty cringed at Bellatrix's revolting laugh. It was really hard to believe he once found her seductive and tempting. Now he understood true beauty; it was blonde hair, silvery grey eyes, and a tinkling laugh.
"You're a disgrace," Bellatrix snarled. It was venomous, but for once, her poison didn't affect him because he knew better. When she realized she wasn't upsetting him, she yelled in frustration and with an incantation, a jet of purple light shot towards him.
"No!" a strangled voice sounded and suddenly, a flying Luna was covering his body.
Before he could push her out of the way and call her foolish for taking such a gamble with her own life, the spell hit her.
He stopped breathing as she fell to the ground in a boneless heap. His whole body felt like it was ice as his hand rested on her belly button, and he felt the sticky substance of blood. Her blood. Luna's blood. Her life force was leaving her, and she'd be gone if she didn't get help.
Barty was frozen, struck by the reality of what was happening. He ignored Bellatrix's cackling as he pulled Luna close, hoping his body against the wound would stop the heavy flow. "Why? Why? Why?" he chanted, kissing the top of head, willing her to just be okay.
Despite her weakening, she stated matter-of-factly, "I love you."
"I wish you didn't," Barty moaned, knowing her love for him was what was costing her life.
"Too bad," she whispered as her eyes fluttered close.
"No!" Barty cried, silently willing her to wake up, to let him see the prettiest silver eyes.
He knew it was no use. Luna was gone. He looked around the empty field, angered by the fact that Bellatrix was already gone. He vowed he'd get revenge if it was the last thing he ever did.
