Closed RP: Bunny-catching

[h-m-winter.livejournal.com]

Henry and Camilla had a Mission.

Camilla had given him a habitrail for Christmas, with the intent that they turn Bunny into something small and fluffy (eventually they settled on a hamster) and keeping him in it. Somehow, in Henry’s mind, turning Bunny into something most people would consider cute was crueler than turning him into something hideous. And he wanted to be cruel--he wanted revenge for the Obliviation he’d suffered months ago, the Obliviation that had hurt Camilla as well--it was that, almost more than what had happened to he himself, that fueled his need for vengeance.

Having reasoned that the simplest plans were oftentimes the best, he’d opted to simply ambush Bunny somewhere in Slytherin. Bunny was in his old room, after all--he knew how to get into the common room, and unless Bunny was better with wards than Henry suspected, he could get into the room, too.

He’d also reasoned that a concealment spell might well do more harm than good. He wanted Bunny to see them coming, just as he himself had seen Bunny just prior to his own Obliviation. He wanted Bunny to know something was about to happen to him. So he and Camilla took no especial care, when he led her into the common room--even Slytherin, which had at least token security, saw so many people going in and out who didn’t actually live there that their presence should excite no comment.
