Out of the Woods
Prologue: A Teaser
Stumbling and staggering, Draco struggled to keep pace with Snape's long strides, all while trying, and failing, to keep his bearings in the maze of cobble-stone corridors, sconce-lit hallways, and dark, dungeon-cell doors with barred window. He lost track of the turns and stairwells, tripping and choking as the collar around his neck yanked him ever further into the depths of this dark old house. The noise of the jubilation long-since drowned by the echoing footsteps of Snape's cold, hard boots on the stone floors, so that now, standing in front of iron-bolted door high in what must be a turret, surely, the number of steps they'd climbed – all he could hear was the blood rushing in ears and a faint, rasping breath from the tall man looming beside him, hand held out in front, key poised before the lock, pausing… hesitating… and then, with a rusty clink, the great iron bolt unlocked, and the door creaked open, and Draco allowed himself to be tugged by the neck toward his doom.
To be continued…
AN: That's right kids, I'm back. With all sorts of fun planned for Draco's side of Deathly Hallows. Part Two, which we're calling Out of the Woods, will be posting soon.
Scene requests (that is, scenes or sections from the book that you'd especially like to see reinterpreted) are welcome, as always.
I'll edit this post to add a link to the new story once it starts going up, but you can obviously also find it on my profile page. Love and happy new year to your all!
*EDIT*
OOTW is up and running. Expect a new chapter weekly.
