Rab and Ro
Warnings/Disclaimers: This is not light and fluffy. It's funny, but Rab and Ro are Dark Wizards. They talk about inappropriate things in an inappropriate manner. Warnings for: Language, sex, and generally being a dark discussion. It's a back and forth AIM chat log between Rabastan and Rodolphus, originally done for another RPG.
RabastanTodd (11:08:28 PM): *pokes Rab* torrent689 (11:08:59 PM): And what in bloody blazes d'you want? I'm working on my potions over here! RabastanTodd (11:09:30 PM): Well excuse me little brother, can't I see what you're doing? *grins and tries poking around* torrent689 (11:09:32 PM): Damn Ro, always with the demands torrent689 (11:09:41 PM): *grabs your hand* torrent689 (11:09:44 PM): don't touch torrent689 (11:09:48 PM): you'll blow us all up torrent689 (11:10:22 PM): *lets go reaches for a vial* here, play with this one *hands it to you* torrent689 (11:10:29 PM): *smirks* RabastanTodd (11:10:38 PM): Why not? So? *shakes head* I have this nifty guillotine you should see *takes it* What is it? torrent689 (11:11:25 PM): oh, it's that one you like so much, the bone crushing agent? i reworked the formula, shouldn't rain down bits of mudblood on your head this time torrent689 (11:11:43 PM): and the bones crack a tad slower, more excruciating really RabastanTodd (11:12:05 PM): Aww, that was the best part. Bellatrix and I had very gratifying sex while covered in mudblood guts. *lifts eyebrow* Really? torrent689 (11:13:13 PM): *refrains from shuddering* well, I still have some of the old batch, I suppose it could be slow and messy... torrent689 (11:13:43 PM): and, of course, I said it did. RabastanTodd (11:15:07 PM): Then you must give us the rest for our anniversary *grins* What else are you working on Snape JR torrent689 (11:15:40 PM): Snape Jr??? That man learnt his best shit from me, remember elder brother? We shall see about your anniversary present torrent689 (11:15:52 PM): I have a few other potions I was planning to give you torrent689 (11:18:04 PM): how is the delightful Miss torrent689 (11:20:18 PM): Damn it all, Ro, don't tell me you got into the Strangulating Serum again. If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times--IT'S NOT FIRE WHISKEY torrent689 (11:25:16 PM): Don't touch the plant! It's a Devils' Snare...Sort of. *grabs the enhanced plant out of your path of destruction* Just some other, more interesting ones I've been concocting, for use in torture and...one or two that I want you to try and just tell me if it works. No details. I'll let you know, I don't know which ones are ready yet. RabastanTodd (11:26:06 PM): If you want me to try them tell me what they're supposed to do! *shakes head then moves to sit down* torrent689 (11:26:53 PM): I will, when I know which ones you're getting. No sense in telling you the details of twenty potions to only give you five. *moves to a small side bar* Can I tempt you torrent689 (11:27:02 PM): ? *opens a crystal decanter* RabastanTodd (11:27:20 PM): Give me a hint? *eyes the decanter* What is it? torrent689 (11:28:36 PM): Some of them should...enhance sensation, but, sensations only people of...certain persuasions would wish. It's an old old Scotch. At least thirty years *pours a bit into a glass, takes a drink* RabastanTodd (11:29:27 PM): AHhhhh, load me up on that, Rab! *grins then pulls out flask* Want some? torrent689 (11:31:24 PM): *pours you a decent glass full* But of course, brother. Also, I've been thinking of opening up a side business. I mean, with the Ministry as it is, there could be a real market for some of my potions these days RabastanTodd (11:31:53 PM): A side business with your potions, to who though? torrent689 (11:33:57 PM): Oh, dear brother, there are those with our...Predilections outside this country, surely you knew that? There is always a market for innovation torrent689 (11:34:55 PM): I fixed that blasted Cowardice Chaser finally. No screaming my arse. RabastanTodd (11:35:35 PM): About bloody time *takes swig from flask* Ahhh, wouldn't want those damn halfers and mudbloods getting any torrent689 (11:36:14 PM): Getting any what? Of my potions? *furrows brow, tosses back the rest of the scotch before going for more* RabastanTodd (11:36:45 PM): Of course your potions, what do you think I was talking about torrent689 (11:37:18 PM): How should I bloody well know? You always say things that have nothing to do with the subject at hand torrent689 (11:37:59 PM): And, I suppose I could track blood purity with a well placed spell or two, if it were to become necessary *sips the scotch, plays with one of the mauve vials* RabastanTodd (11:39:03 PM): *eyes carefully* What's going on Rabastan? torrent689 (11:39:30 PM): *looks at you over the scotch glass* Why, whatever do you mean, dear brother of mine? RabastanTodd (11:40:21 PM): You play with things when you're thinking of things torrent689 (11:41:15 PM): Do I? *notices the vial, gives a bemused smile* I suppose I do. I'm not sure, Ro, I'm just not sure... RabastanTodd (11:41:50 PM): We've known each other for nearly 45 years, Rab, don't play with me torrent689 (11:42:54 PM): Rodolphus...It's the damn half-breeds and mudbloods. Yes, they're less, yes, they're disgusting, barbaric and childlike in their simplicity...But... torrent689 (11:43:13 PM): *drinks the rest of the scotch, searches the side bar for something stronger* torrent689 (11:43:19 PM): Nevermind, it's foolish. RabastanTodd (11:43:40 PM): What is Rab? *continues to eye and takes another swig* torrent689 (11:44:34 PM): *pours a shot of firewhiskey* Really, Ro, it's nothing. I should work on your anniversary present; the day is fast approaching. torrent689 (11:44:40 PM): How many years is that now? RabastanTodd (11:45:49 PM): It's me, Rab, can't you trust me? *shakes head* Merlin, I think thirty years? torrent689 (11:46:26 PM): Brother mine, of course I trust you. torrent689 (11:47:54 PM): *leaves the shot, starts pulling items off of shelves* I just don't know what I'd say. Severus Snape was a half-breed, did you know that? RabastanTodd (11:48:18 PM): Everyone in our Lord's inner circle knew that *leans back* Why? torrent689 (11:49:24 PM): Despite being...Tainted, I suppose, the man was bloody brilliant. Learnt everything I had to teach as quick as anything...Applied the theory and got results. *pulls the miniature cauldron close, starts adding ingredients* RabastanTodd (11:49:38 PM): Rabastan... what are you getting at? torrent689 (11:50:17 PM): He might not be the wizard either of us are, but he was smart enough to have been. At least he was smart enough to be useful. RabastanTodd (11:50:57 PM): *stands, reaching for wand* Spit it out torrent689 (11:51:33 PM): *watches you reach for your wand* Never mind, brother mine, never mind *turns around, scribbles on a scrap of parchment* RabastanTodd (11:51:47 PM): Tell me now or I will crucio you right here and now torrent689 (11:52:31 PM): Oh bloody fucking hell, Rodolphus, what does it matter what I have to say? And do you REALLY think me so daft as to not have protections against attack in my own laboratory? torrent689 (11:53:17 PM): *turns, wand raised* You are my brother, my only family. As such, I love you and do NOT want a blood feud. You are drunk, as am I, and clearly I am not thinking properly. RabastanTodd (11:53:45 PM): Then tell me what in the bloody hell you were getting at! torrent689 (11:54:37 PM): I was merely getting at the idea that there might be a usefulness about mudbloods and half-breeds. Nothing so great as to keep them alive long, but, enough there to exploit for a time *sidesteps you, reaches for a few vials* torrent689 (11:55:15 PM): Now, I was saving some of these for your anniversary, I know you're probably taking Bellatrix muggle-baiting and mudblood killing. These are five, there will be more torrent689 (11:55:29 PM): Would you like them and their explanations, brother mine? RabastanTodd (11:56:43 PM): Why do you want to keep those filth? We're far better than any of them! *shakes head* No, keep them for it, you know how Bellarix gets torrent689 (11:57:29 PM): Yes, we are quite better than any of them. I agree they're filthy and dirty and best off dead, but, look at the ones like Snape. Sectumsemptra? What a glorious curse that is torrent689 (11:57:58 PM): And, are you quite sure? There are more, and I've nearly perfected the summoning-projecting spell RabastanTodd (11:59:42 PM): Snape was different! He understood blood politics. Yes I am sure, Merlin knows what happened the last time I came home with a present for us before our anniversary torrent689 (12:00:50 AM): Snape understood blood politics, but, he was still a "filthy half-breed"*smirks* Do tell... RabastanTodd (12:04:02 AM): SHut up, little brother. That's different. torrent689 (12:04:23 AM): What's different? RabastanTodd (12:05:08 AM): Shut up *levels wand with you* torrent689 (12:05:30 AM): *Watches you, doesn't say a word* torrent689 (12:06:32 AM): *crosses arms, raises an eyebrow* RabastanTodd (12:09:25 AM): *shakes head* Anyways, don't let Bellatrix hear this torrent689 (12:10:15 AM): *uncrosses arms* Of course not. I would rather you hadn't heard it, personally. But, what with your ruddy wand-waving I didn't get many choices. RabastanTodd (12:12:02 AM): Well excuse me, do you realize what would happen if our Lord hear you? torrent689 (12:13:01 AM): Our Lord won't hear me, I'm tinkering in my laboratory in his name. Besides, when did you get so bloody loyal to the man? *conjures a chair to sit* Come now, brother, we aren't cross at one another still, are we? RabastanTodd (12:14:30 AM): I've always been loyal *sits down after placing wand away* I just wish Bellatrix would see things my way when it comes to that torrent689 (12:15:48 AM): *gives you an appraising look* Yes, loyal to the cause. Brother, we've known each other for nearly 45 years, don't pretend I don't see how you look at the Dark Lord when you think none are watching. And...Bellatrix is quite magnificent in her own right. RabastanTodd (12:16:35 AM): Bellatrix loves him, she doesn't even try to hide it *sighs* He wouldn't have been able to do this without her. I'd even say she's more powerful. torrent689 (12:17:18 AM): Most likely. He doesn't even bother to ask for the theory behind my potions any more. And, you know she loves you, Ro. torrent689 (12:20:03 AM): *leans back a bit, picks up an orange potion* If one were to...Decide things, others might be obliged to concur. RabastanTodd (12:24:15 AM): *shakes head* Do you know what happened the night she got the mark? torrent689 (12:24:38 AM): I do not, I was still at Hogwarts at the time. RabastanTodd (12:25:29 AM): She spent the entire night admiring, going on about how brilliant of a man our Lord was torrent689 (12:26:27 AM): *nods* Well, he does have a certain...Charisma, it's what initially attracts us all RabastanTodd (12:26:59 AM): Yeah but it's the worship that follows torrent689 (12:28:07 AM): Ahh, yes...I have seen the look. I know it must grate, brother...I cannot say I know how you feel though. RabastanTodd (12:33:06 AM): You need to get out more, be careful, Bellatrix has been talking about setting you up with an old blood torrent689 (12:33:31 AM): Who? *is only mildly curious* Doesn't she think I'm a tad old for blind dates? RabastanTodd (12:35:14 AM): She hasn't told me yet, and no, you'll always be little RabRab to her torrent689 (12:35:55 AM): *emits a low chuckle* But of course...And, perhaps, but, where would I go? RabastanTodd (12:36:39 AM): You know that little Italian place I took her the night I proposed? Where we all went after the war ended? torrent689 (12:37:17 AM): I do, amazing linguini RabastanTodd (12:37:49 AM): That's where, you'll get a private booth and a bottle of their best torrent689 (12:38:09 AM): Wait, she's already arranged this thing? torrent689 (12:38:20 AM): *looks slightly concerned* RabastanTodd (12:38:41 AM): Look concerned, as I said, I only don't know the name, by the way, don't have any plans for Saturday night do you? torrent689 (12:39:35 AM): I had planned to...*defeated sigh* Not if Bellatrix is the one pulling the strings, I suppose. RabastanTodd (12:40:05 AM): To what? *smirk* torrent689 (12:40:39 AM): Work on your anniversary present, of course. And the summoning-projecting spell. It still spits gobs of potion, it's supposed to fly out in a continuous stream RabastanTodd (12:42:45 AM): It's not til eight so you've plenty of time to work torrent689 (12:43:17 AM): *nods, twirls the potion vial* I suppose so...And, Bellatrix actually...Expects me to...Interact with this woman? RabastanTodd (12:44:00 AM): Yes, she does, and she'll be getting a report of the night. At least say hi. torrent689 (12:44:36 AM): *tortured sigh* Very well. If I must. I'm bloody 45 years old, and I'm being set up on a date? torrent689 (12:45:10 AM): I suppose you'll tell me it's my own fault for not choosing someone myself RabastanTodd (12:47:03 AM): What can I say? Why father never did an arranged marriage for you, I don't know torrent689 (12:48:05 AM): oh, Mother tried, remember that horrid frenchwoman who spent the summer after I finished at Hogwarts? torrent689 (12:49:20 AM): Mme. Beaudeux? torrent689 (12:50:06 AM): *shakes head* At any rate, Father finally said that you were married off and, unless an alliance became necessary, I was free from the obligation. RabastanTodd (12:51:08 AM): I remember that, nasty little witch she was. How could I see that coming? Though, I must admit, it isn't that bad with Bellatrix torrent689 (12:52:12 AM): No? Well, I suppose not, Mother did have quite the hold on Father's ear over that one. He truly didn't care which of the Black sisters you married, but, she'd seen something of you in Bellatrix...At least that's what I overheard. RabastanTodd (12:52:49 AM): I could never be with that twat of a woman Narcissa torrent689 (12:53:17 AM): oh, but Madame Black almost had Father convinced... torrent689 (12:53:48 AM): It was such a mixed blessing, being the second. No one seemed to notice when I'd sit too close to a private conversation... RabastanTodd (12:54:03 AM): Convinced of what? torrent689 (12:55:04 AM): Why, that you were suited to Narcissa. Bellatrix was the youngest, remember? She didn't want her youngest married off before her middle child (side bar, WAS narcissa the middle? i can never remember) RabastanTodd (12:58:52 AM): (Who fucking knows, Rowling doesnt even know and she wrote it) Little prat torrent689 (12:59:08 AM): Narcissa or her mother? torrent689 (12:59:16 AM): *grins a bit* RabastanTodd (1:00:17 AM): Both, neither made a good shag *grins* torrent689 (1:00:52 AM): *grimaces* Rodolphus! How droll. But, I suppose you're right... torrent689 (1:01:29 AM): I mean, *widens eyes in faux innocence* I haven't the faintest idea what you are referring to... RabastanTodd (1:01:58 AM): What? It's the truth? Her mother didn't move around much and all Narcissa wanted to do was try new things torrent689 (1:02:45 AM): *mock serious* Don't let old Lucius hear you...He might...*snickers* He might hex you...If he still possessed his wand... RabastanTodd (1:04:23 AM): *laughs* I wonder what little Lucius has been up to now that he still doesn't have his wand torrent689 (1:04:55 AM): I couldn't begin to tell you...Between those Hogwarts brats and this laboratory, I have managed to completely avoid the man... RabastanTodd (1:05:29 AM): Not a bad thing, it's not like we've seen him either torrent689 (1:05:59 AM): Probably for the best...Merlin knows he'd have wand envy by now... RabastanTodd (1:13:14 AM): I wouldn't, I'd have Narcissa in their bed in no time! *laughs* torrent689 (1:13:44 AM): You wouldn't what? torrent689 (1:14:30 AM): Also, I'd hazard a supposition that Bellatrix wouldn't be keen on you having Narcissa in any bed... RabastanTodd (1:15:27 AM): Have wand envy. Oh trust me, if she knew I had both her sisters, I'd be dead. torrent689 (1:16:15 AM): Andromeda? Really? And was this before or after she ran off with that muggle? Because, I was under the impression you never met Andromeda... RabastanTodd (1:17:18 AM): Before, remember when father took me over to the Black house after me sixteenth birthday? torrent689 (1:17:55 AM): *looks impressed* She must have been...At least twenty then... RabastanTodd (1:19:55 AM): Oh little brother what you've missed out on. *leans back and rests head in his hands* Twenty one actually torrent689 (1:20:18 AM): *shakes head* By not having Andromeda? RabastanTodd (1:20:31 AM): Are you a virgin? torrent689 (1:20:47 AM): *gives you a hard stare* torrent689 (1:21:21 AM): what kind of Lestrange would I be if I hadn't managed to seduce Narcissa, insipid as she is, into defiling her marriage to that pompous wanker? RabastanTodd (1:21:45 AM): Anyone else beside her? torrent689 (1:23:23 AM): *leans back, appraises you* A few, during the summers between school. A few after, before Azkaban. I may be no Don Juan (would that be the phrase?) But I've had my share of birds... RabastanTodd (1:23:53 AM): (aye) Ahh, you know who you should try to get with, just to spite my whelp of a wife? torrent689 (1:24:16 AM): Who, pray tell? RabastanTodd (1:25:08 AM): Andromeda. torrent689 (1:26:10 AM): *scoffs* Hardly. I hear she's still torn up over that muggle lover of hers. I'm not into non consensual measures at any rate. RabastanTodd (1:27:21 AM): Then show her the ways of the old blood again, she's a Black, she has to miss that torrent689 (1:28:06 AM): *muses* We shall see. Are you sure you haven't an idea of whom Bellatrix has decided to throw at me? RabastanTodd (1:29:12 AM): The most I've gotten out of Bellatrix is it's someone from our department torrent689 (1:30:35 AM): *grumbles* I should have settled on one of those birds from school...They weren't half bad lays and few marriages are for love anyway. torrent689 (1:30:48 AM): Perhaps if I offered her a few exclusive potions? torrent689 (1:32:03 AM): *eyes the vials on the workspace* Maybe one of the ones that curdles the blood? torrent689 (1:32:10 AM): she loves to hear the screams... RabastanTodd (1:32:30 AM): Wouldn't be a bad idea... no, try one of those senastional ones (and wow that's a bit cold) torrent689 (1:33:07 AM): Sensational ones? (what's a bit cold?) torrent689 (1:35:51 AM): Which sensational ones, brother? Those I attempted to demonstrate at the execution? RabastanTodd (1:36:57 AM): No, the ones for..pleasure? torrent689 (1:37:03 AM): ahh torrent689 (1:37:53 AM): Yes...*eyes a rose coloured potion* perhaps...There are also ones for pain, but, I suppose Bellatrix would only use those to torment you... torrent689 (1:38:14 AM): Not that I particularly care, nor do I want to know... RabastanTodd (1:38:27 AM): Oh trust me, what she did last week any guy would off themselves torrent689 (1:39:11 AM): *chuckles* Then perhaps it is best that you are not "any bloke." But, I shall prepare a gift for your lovely wife, and leave the decision up to her RabastanTodd (1:40:47 AM): No, seriously. She attacks me when I get in the house, and I'm thinking, hey, I'm going to have a very good night, right? torrent689 (1:41:30 AM): *eases out of the chair, goes to the vial racks* Yeah? But, then, it was Bellatrix, perhaps you should have supposed... RabastanTodd (1:43:07 AM): So she goes at it, and once she gets off and I tell her I'm about there, she jumps up and runs off. Tells me she's spending the evening with Narcissa. torrent689 (1:44:27 AM): *laughs* But of course... RabastanTodd (1:44:39 AM): What a bloody bitch! torrent689 (1:45:10 AM): *laughs, shakes head, continues selecting vials* torrent689 (1:47:26 AM): Hmm...*moves around Rodolphus, searches* Have you seen that bloody box? It's perfect, polished mahogany, fits an infinite number of potions, catalogues them and everything... RabastanTodd (1:47:50 AM): *looks at it* That's uh... nice? torrent689 (1:48:34 AM): *sighs* Fine. Bellatrix will appreciate the craftsmanship...And the fact that once she opens it, it will only respond to her touch torrent689 (1:48:58 AM): *walks back to the workspace, begins labelling and packing the vials* RabastanTodd (1:49:05 AM): *Shakes head* Are you serious? torrent689 (1:49:34 AM): Yes. You won't have access to it, unless she teaches it to respond to you. *grins mischievously* torrent689 (1:49:54 AM): And, I have the mirror box, I can add any vials I want and they'll appear in her box, for her use. RabastanTodd (1:50:00 AM): Merlin, Rab, do you know what you're letting her do? torrent689 (1:50:16 AM): But of course torrent689 (1:50:48 AM): I trust you can use your charms to convince her to allow you access to the box...And if you can't, well, more's the pity, I suppose. RabastanTodd (1:51:16 AM): Are you still upset with me over the guiolttine (yes it's mispelled) incident still? torrent689 (1:52:18 AM): *innocent smile* Why, whatever gave you that impression, brother? I merely thought to give your wife a private store of volatile potions... RabastanTodd (1:52:49 AM): Exactly! Merlin, Rab, I said I was sorry! torrent689 (1:53:22 AM): *rolls eyes8 After Father threatened you with a scar to match. torrent689 (1:53:26 AM): besider torrent689 (1:53:55 AM): *besides, I'm currying favour with your wife, perhaps she'll leave an old man to his potions. RabastanTodd (1:55:43 AM): He'd never hurt me! I was too valuable, really Rababstan. YOu must get over these things. *chuckles* I doubt it torrent689 (1:56:39 AM): Oh, he wouldn't have hurt you, but, he knew how vain you were, even are to this day. I'm over it, I just figure it's not my problem if you can't get into the box torrent689 (1:57:37 AM): *shrugs* torrent689 (1:58:02 AM): But, if it concerns you that much... *moves back toward the shelf, retrieves a midnight blue box* RabastanTodd (1:58:11 AM): What's that? torrent689 (1:58:24 AM): Your very own StorAll torrent689 (1:59:40 AM): works on the same principles, except...You can open this one and see what's in that one. *nods at the blue and mahogany boxes respectively* torrent689 (2:01:30 AM): In theory, of course. In practice? You could open yours and Bellatrix could hex you for trying to take her potions... RabastanTodd (2:01:47 AM): Wait what? torrent689 (2:02:24 AM): *grins* Well, if she were to discover you were able to see into her private potions store, I doubt she'd be overly thrilled at the development... RabastanTodd (2:03:04 AM): You wouldn't... torrent689 (2:04:17 AM): Oh, no, probably not. But, she IS an exceedingly clever witch, you said so yourself. So long as you don't bollocks it up, she should never know when you remove the more volatile ones. I'd tell her they sometimes disappear of their own accord...That dimension is rather unpredictable after all. RabastanTodd (2:05:21 AM): I hate you sometimes, you know that? torrent689 (2:06:07 AM): *cocks head to the side* I'm giving you a way to keep your wife from having potions you would rather she not have in her hands, which you know she'd force me to give her, and you hate me for it? torrent689 (2:07:28 AM): *sighs* Very well, I'll include antidotes in your box. Is that acceptable? RabastanTodd (2:07:42 AM): Yes, thank you. torrent689 (2:08:24 AM): *nods, begins packing various jars, all labeled, into the darker box*I assume I don't have to tell you to not tell her about the antidotes? RabastanTodd (2:09:38 AM): No, I think you might, because I'm too stupid to do it torrent689 (2:10:25 AM): Too stupid to do what? RabastanTodd (2:10:53 AM): To tell her torrent689 (2:11:30 AM): You're not stupid at any rate, Ro. I just want her to utilize the potions with more caution than she would if she thought she could reverse their effects. RabastanTodd (2:12:03 AM): Geez, please tell me you're not going to give me bad ones torrent689 (2:12:42 AM): Bad what? Antidotes? No, rest assured, these antidotes are proven cures to their corresponding potion RabastanTodd (2:13:00 AM): Potions, bad potions. orrent689 (2:13:37 AM): Bad as in Dark? Or bad as in duds? I do not make duds, only formulas which need improvement from time to time torrent689 (2:14:32 AM): Incidentally, if she chooses to use some of the more...Intimate ones, have the antidote at the ready. They're still somewhat experimental. torrent689 (2:14:54 AM): *hides a grin* RabastanTodd (2:14:55 AM): What could go wrong? torrent689 (2:16:10 AM): They're supposed to have set time limits, but, they've been known to go awry. I believe I corrected that, but, I haven't tested them as of yet. Also...There's a pleasure/pain combination that...Sometimes leaves a person with no way to distinguish between the sensations for a time. torrent689 (2:16:41 AM): And to...Crave either sensation. RabastanTodd (2:16:44 AM): ..... and you want me to use this? torrent689 (2:16:57 AM): It needs to be tested somehow. torrent689 (2:17:10 AM): And you have the antidotes. RabastanTodd (2:17:32 AM): I can't believe you want me to do that torrent689 (2:17:56 AM): Why not? Didn't Bellatrix ever tell you what she had written in the boys' lavatories about you? RabastanTodd (2:18:30 AM): What? NO! What did she say? torrent689 (2:19:10 AM): Besides, the one where you possibly can't distinguish? It makes them desirable. *shrugs* The pain will still be pain, but...It's not as if you don't get off from it, from what I've been told. torrent689 (2:19:25 AM): Oh, just...Well, it's been so many years, I've very nearly forgotten RabastanTodd (2:20:12 AM): Tell me you rotten little prat torrent689 (2:20:17 AM): *turns away, mutters* Though I was the one received two galleons for my troubles... torrent689 (2:20:21 AM): Oh, very well torrent689 (2:20:56 AM): *thinks* "Rodolphus Lestrange is Bellatrix's little pain slag" or some such nonsense. RabastanTodd (2:21:14 AM): Oh bloody hell that bitch torrent689 (2:21:36 AM): You'd have done the same to her, wanker. RabastanTodd (2:21:55 AM): I should have! At least I never wrote about it torrent689 (2:23:23 AM): Oh, it pleases you, and it was over thirty years ago, you twit. So, yes, I expect you to test these potions for me, because I know she'll want them the second she discovers them anyway. RabastanTodd (2:24:23 AM): And of course, it's our anniversary present. Which means I won't see you for at least a week torrent689 (2:24:38 AM): Of course. But, as I've said, you have the antidotes. torrent689 (2:24:46 AM): And you can send things back through the box. torrent689 (2:24:54 AM): Like a note if something doesn't work. RabastanTodd (2:25:30 AM): Unfortunately, I doubt she'd let me use the antidotes torrent689 (2:25:46 AM): Are you daft enough to tell her you have them? torrent689 (2:25:55 AM): *looks at you incredulously* RabastanTodd (2:25:59 AM): Do you think she'd let me go if they don't work? torrent689 (2:26:32 AM): None of them will kill you. At some point, you have to take a break, I would assume, and then you could apply the antidote. RabastanTodd (2:27:14 AM): Yes but taking a break doesn't mean she'll untie me torrent689 (2:27:18 AM): And most of them aren't going to backfire. They've been tested enough. torrent689 (2:28:07 AM): Must I think of everything? Tell her there are different potions in your box, ask to retrieve one, surely you can fake some effect? torrent689 (2:28:53 AM): And, again, the worst side effect is being unable to distinguish pleasure and pain. You'll just get off on either, which might please her more.
