All That Glitters (Neville, gen) marginaliana July 25 2009, 23:30:11 UTC

recipient: jetamors
prompt: Neville, Felix Felicis
Word count: 100
Rating: PG-13

As soon as the first sip hits his tongue, Neville knows he has to have more of it. He feels... good. Confident. Brilliant, really. The potion starts to work immediately, a warm, golden tingle feathering through his veins.

He hadn't any real goal in taking the stuff, other than experiencing it, but now he feels his mind turn towards getting more. The magical luck follows, and almost without conscious thought he pulls the vial away from his mouth, rationing it. A moment later he's walking towards Slughorn's office, thinking words like secrets, like blackmail.

Inside the vial, the potion glitters.

Mmm, manipulative Neville... love it!

Oooh, nice! It makes me wonder what sort of secrets Neville wants to finagle from Sluggy...

A touch of menace in the last line - I like it.

Re: All That Glitters (Neville, gen) jtav July 26 2009, 01:23:45 UTC

Oh that was chilling.

Re: All That Glitters (Neville, gen) shouldknobetter July 26 2009, 01:48:31 UTC

Yay Neville! I like this side of him.

Re: All That Glitters (Neville, gen) gmth July 26 2009, 02:21:36 UTC

Ooh, darkish!Neville rocks.

Re: All That Glitters (Neville, gen) la_dissonance July 26 2009, 02:27:03 UTC

Ooo, this is just cool. Makes me wish this was longer than a drabble - what secrets will Neville learn, how long will his luck last, how dark will he get? Will he regret what he's done once the potion is gone? *shivers* Love it!

Re: All That Glitters (Neville, gen) eeyore9990 July 26 2009, 02:38:29 UTC

OMG, I love your Neville. This is amazing!

Re: All That Glitters (Neville, gen) leela_cat July 26 2009, 02:48:13 UTC

I love this Neville. What an amazing image.

Re: All That Glitters (Neville, gen) jetamors July 26 2009, 03:16:02 UTC

Oh my gosh, I wasn't expecting something this quickly! I like how creepy it is; I wasn't expecting something in this direction, but you really make it work :D

Re: All That Glitters (Neville, gen) marginaliana July 26 2009, 03:32:38 UTC

Yay, glad you enjoyed it!

Re: All That Glitters (Neville, gen) bonfoi July 26 2009, 03:59:34 UTC

Ooh, the little bit of Slytherin inside every student just woke up! *shivery*

Re: All That Glitters (Neville, gen) celisnebula July 26 2009, 04:47:17 UTC

Hmmm... And I can just see the aggressive, dominate Neville that this will bring about.

Re: All That Glitters (Neville, gen) midnitemaraud_r July 26 2009, 08:58:22 UTC

Neville, you sneaky bastard! W00t! Hee!

Re: Cats' Birthday Drabblethon: All That Glitters vaysh July 26 2009, 09:41:55 UTC

Wow - great take on the prompt. Entirely unexpected, too (to me, at least). Isn't that always the question with luck potions and three magical wishes and such - why don't they use it for more luck or more wishes? This certainly would make an awesome story.
