Fawkes/Sorting Hat
Fawkes/Sorting Hat -- R
Title: A Feather in the Hat
Rating: R
Inspiration: The 10K_drabbles pair request requirement for a minor character pair had me stumped. Then I pulled this out of my hat... Metafrantic made me do it *g*. But then I'm relatively easy that way.
A Feather in the Hat, Fawkes/Sorting Hat -- R
The Phoenix isn’t a nesting bird,
Or so the Sorting Hat had heard.
Though the aged Hat had been resistant,
Fawkes’ behavior proved persistent.
He settled down upon the Hat.
He smashed the peak quite nearly flat.
Beak and tongue he nibbled ‘round
Battered brim and aged crown.
Feathers prickled into cloth,
Crooning, cooing, sighing soft,
Nuzzling, rustling, snuggling in,
He showed no cheeky, avian grin.
But avians are speedy lovers,
Quickly started, quickly over,
Then off, some other hen to cover.
Trilling happily, off Fawkes fluttered,
While the rumpled Hat behind him muttered,
“That Phoenix really is a nutter.”
