Prompt 25 - guitar
The strings on his guitar were old and worn, and when he tried to play it one of the strings snapped, flying back and whipping him across the face.
"Dammit!" Scabior swore, clapping a hand over his left cheek. A single drop of blood trickled down his face, and he wiped it away with the back of his hand before drawing his wand and using it to repair his guitar.
"Poor thing. You've seen better years, 'aven't you?" He ran his fingers over the peeling paint on the side of his guitar. There was a simple line drawing on the front of it, showing a wolf howling at the moon. The image had faded over the years until it was barely visible. But Scabior still loved this faded remnant of his younger days when he was free to roam the countryside, serenading young women with his songs of passionate lust.
Scabior sung the most beautiful love songs, songs that would make the ladies swoon whenever they heard his voice. He was a talented musician, and would hold private concerts for his friends at school. When he got older, he would play for the men in his group as they sat around the campfire at night. The sound of music helped lift their spirits and improved morale. However the songs he sung when in the company of his men were different than the ones he sung when he was alone with the ladies.
He dusted off his old guitar, tuned it up a bit, then looked at his men and grinned. "Alright everyone. You ready for another song from Scabior's greatest 'its album?"
His men laughed and cheered. Even Greyback managed a small smile as Scabior prepared to sing one of his crude songs.
The head Snatcher sat up straight, strummed a few notes on his guitar, and began to sing.
"I lost my glove in Bella's black 'ole.
It smelled really bad an was covered with mold.
There were barnacles growing on every crevasse.
It still smelled much nicer than 'er dirty arse."
Laughter erupted from the men sitting around the fire. Greyback chuckled and rolled his eyes, shaking his head as Scabior started singing another song.
"My body lies over the ocean,
My body lies over the sea,
My body lies over the toilet
Because I drank too much Firewhiskey!"
Scabior mimed throwing up into the campfire, which received a round of applause and more laughter from his men.
Greyback smiled and shook his head. It wasn't much, but it was entertaining. And Scabior's crude songs were always good for a laugh.
