Drabbles from Friday...
Sorry about the delay on this batch. Had stuffs to do.
For ely709, Fred/Angelina (157)
The three were far from indistinguishable. Katie was the more outgoing - always willing to start conversations with strangers and make new friends, and Alicia was the more ‘feminine’ - spending time on her hair and actually wearing make-up just for the hell of it, while Angelina was the most filled with wonder. Maybe it was her Muggle background, but everything Angelina saw seemed to be new and interesting, everything she did was exciting and wonderful. There was something amazingly refreshing about the way she looked at the world, and, when he sat down and thought about it, that was what pulled Fred in.
He’d always known the three girls as three, thought of them as a single unit, but as they became disparate in his mind it was Angelina’s wonderment that became entrancing in its own right.
And when Angelina, in her wide-eyed examination of the world, became aware of Fred’s examination of her, her wonder simply increased.
Also for Ely, Snape/Trelawney, (127)
When he figured out what the hell she was doing, Snape was horrified. “She’s mad, Albus,” he said, but Dumbledore simply smiled that aggravatingly cheerful smile. Killing his employer would be a bad idea, he had to remind himself, and then made his way down to the Great Hall to ignore the psychotic woman staring down the table at him. If he could get out of his duties as Head of Slytherin House he’d have avoided the Great Hall altogether.
Unfortunately, That Woman knew he was trapped.
Not that it seemed she was going to say anything. No, she wasn’t even going to give him the small joy of ripping her to bits for approaching him. Instead, she simply stared, and watched, and smiled... It was sickening.
And still for Ely, Snape/Filch, because she is strange. *grin* (82)
Argus was the only one in the whole damned building who even came close to understanding him. Flora told him he was too suspicious, and Minerva told him he was too harsh on people. Poppy tried to coddle him and Filius tried to ‘cheer him up’. The only person in the whole damned building who wouldn’t try to ‘help’ him was Argus, so it probably wasn’t that surprising that he’d ended up hunting the caretaker down when he actually did need help.
For morganmuffle, some S/D. (113)
Seamus stared at the paper, sighing in frustration. “There’s nothing here,” he said, not looking up from the paper.
“Surely there’s something.”
“No, Dean, there really isn’t.”
“It’s really not that hard to get a job.” The smirk on Dean’s face, unfortunately, bled into his voice.
“Don’t gloat, it’s unbecoming” Seamus said, warningly, but Dean didn’t seem to notice.
“I mean, I got one...”
“Gah!”
The flutter of newsprint was the only notice Dean had before the wizarding want ads fell about his head and he heard Seamus stomping out of the living room of their flat.
“Love you, Seamus,” he called out, pulling the paper off his head. “Don’t worry so much.”
For sternel, Snape/McGonnagal. (70)
“There’s something very weird about this,” Severus said, seemingly to himself. In answer, the cat curled up on his lap simply arched her back into his caressing hand with a little purr-like sound. “No, really, Minerva, this is strange. You’ve been coming down here every night for almost a week, and all I can figure is you just like ‘skritches’.”
Again, the cat said nothing, and Severus sighed. “Very strange.”
For primroseburrows, A Hufflepuff thing, (113)
“Why are we doing this again?” Hannah asked, lounging on the couch and watching her housemates.
“Because Justin told us too,” Susan replied, hand moving back and forth across a piece of parchment, her quill scratching lightly along the paper.
“Yes, but...”
“Come on, Hannah,” Eloise put in. “It’s Justin.”
“Oh, I know,” Hannah said. “Of course I’ll help. I just don’t understand why.”
“Ours is not to wonder why...” Susan put in, and Hannah simply sighed.”
“Right, right. I’m in.”
“Good. Come over here and help me with the flyers.”
Hannah scowled at the stack of papers. “’Justin Finch-Fletchley for Dark Lord’, indeed. He does know it’s not an elected position, right?”
Now, off to do at least some work...
