As it crosses the woods; however, things don't go as it expected and a mission that should finish in a good hunt, ends with this Dementor finding out that there are more things inside itself than its hunger for souls it meets with something that stays on the road of the Dementor's classification for things: it isn't food, and it isn't non-food. How it deals with things when they go out of its control? Because, as it can remember, a Dementor never is wrong and, most importantly, things aren't ever out-of-control in the small world of theirs.

In a darker world where Voldemort has triumphed, a man sentenced to Azkaban reflects on his crimes, his fate, and the one he loved enough to kill. H/D implications, stream-of-consciousness.

Inevitable that he would be swallowed whole by this strange tortured city of dreams and nightmares. Inevitable that he would prick his arm (not his finger) with the needle. Did the story girl feel this ecstasy of pure honeyed light in her veins, like she was being infused with the soul she had lost? For Draco Malfoy, that was all there was."
