I AM SO SORRY! anitaray July 27 2009, 16:23:50 UTC
I got completely distracted yesterday because the offer we made on a house (our first ever home!!) got accepted and I spent the whole day in a tizzy of dreams.

That said. I am so so so sorry for the delay in posting this. I loved the prompt and I hope this is entertaining to nextian!

-------------------------------------------------------------

Recipient: nextian
Prompt: SCREW YOU, RON IS STILL DUMBLEDORE!
Word count: 211
Rating: PG-13 for a bit of Strong Language

One sister feisty, sharp-tongued and clever; one sister grey, thin and silent.

One sister clear-eyed, strong and a little ruthless; one sister sweet, sad and quite vacant.

Both sisters brave, brave, brave.

So unlike and yet so alike, Dumbledore thinks. Both sisters dead, dead, dead.

That's two out of two sisters he has failed to protect. But is it his fault he can no longer remember how to say "open" in Parseltongue? It's over a hundred years since he last heard it spoken and he may be Dumbledore, but he is no Hermione ( ... )

Had to read this carefully, the phrasing makes one think strange things. Very cool turn of phrase and idea!

I hope it wasn't too confusing... :S I do that sometimes, undercommunicate for fear of overcommunicating. Gah.

Oh man, thank you! Like bonfoi I had to read it twice but it was worth it -- I buy it, I really do.

Oh, no, I mean -- it wasn't confusing in a bad way at all! Part of the fun of a drabble is teasing out the meaning, considering you have so few words to work with. Eek, I'm sorry if it sounded like a complaint! ^^;;
