The Dementors kiss. When it had come to this you knew you were in deep shit. You're life was over.
Lucius Malfoy, you're going to your own personal hell.
Blackness, nothing, emptiness. All gone.
No way out this time. It was clear he'd committed evil and this was his punishment. He'd begged for mercy, but no one showed him any. Not even his wife or child.
He was going to rot away in Azkaban and he couldn't do anything about it.
His happy memories didn't consist of family and friends, but the sounds of terror and death from Mudbloods.
"How sickening." he thought.
But did he regret it? Yes? No? Maybe. He decided upon maybe, because that way he wouldn't have to give a straight answer to himself.
When had it all gone so wrong? Was it the day he had become a Death Eater, when the Dark Mark had been burned on his skin, or when his Master had returned. It made his head ache thinking about it.
It was ironic that he'd always inspired fear in people yet now it was he that was scared.
His life would now consist of the blank depths of the night, and the horrors within.
He had never been truly happy. Even as a child, maybe it was because no one had really shown him any love, of course his parents had spoilt him, but that was standard for every Pureblood child. He – of course- hated Mudbloods because they were beneath him and his superior family. But when he saw how happy were, he despised them even more.
The hatred had been etched deep in his mind, and when his Master had offered him the chance to rid the world of such scum, who was he to say no?
This was end of hid damned world, and he wasn't going to fight them any more. It was hopeless.
You're left to the devices of your own mind, Lucius Malfoy, and it's going to drive you mad.
As the Dementor grew closer, he felt nothing but terror and now, after all this time he knew how it felt to suffer. And he screamed.
Finished. Done. Game over.
The end of the world indeed.
Well, that's one down! I hope you enjoyed, and please review. (And just so you know, I am aware that Lucius does actually live, I just made this up so it would fit in with the rest of the story)
