Words: 100
A/N:  You’d think I’d be able to work more than one single, solitary prompt in here. . .

oooooooooo



No-one bothered him out here.

Probably because of the rain.

And his temper.

He was grateful.

Mostly.

Solitude was good.  Safe.  Comfortable.  Undemanding.

But. . .

Sometimes he wished. . .

Not for Ron.

Too noisy.  Too blunt.

Nor Hermione.

Too many questions.  Too little peace.  Too much humidity for too much already-bushy hair.

Who, then?

Not fangirls.

Nor (shudder) fanboys.

No grandfatherly Headmasters.  Too many platitudes, riddles and lemon sherbets.

No greasy professors.  Obviously.

But. . .

A quiet step.

A soft rustle as of sitting down.

A soft hand on arm.

She always knew when to come, and brought comfort.

The storm clouds fled.

oooooooooo

A/N: This might possibly the tallest and skinniest drabble I’ve ever written.  I've not assigned it a time in my timeline, because it can work in many, many places and times.

drabbles, h/g, harry potter
