The Thing About Slytherins

4. Hatred

Other days, Theo hates his Dad. Some days it is just a mild throb, but other days the hatred fills him up so much that it starts overflowing out. Theo can almost imagine it rising up and up, contaminating his heart, filling his neck and head, and then pouring out of his mouth, colouring his words and making them hateful and dark.

Daphne solves his problem one day - sweet, sweet Daphne who is a Slytherin, but has never said an unkind of hateful word in her life. One day, Theo is in the middle of hating his father, hating school, hating the teachers, hating Daphne, hating himself, and Daphne marches right over to him and kisses him.

Since then, whenever Theo feels like he hates something he always goes to find Daphne, and she kisses him better.


Follow-on from the previous one. Oh, and I forgot to say in the pervious chapter: if a chapter is dedicated to someone then that is the person who came up with the prompt, otherwise it was me who came up with it.

On another not, would anyone like to take these promts and do the same thing that I am doing for a different House? Gryff is taken, but Raven and Huffle are still up for grabs!

Once a week updates for now. If I don't remember, PM me.
