elwyna's birthday. i don't think this is quite what you intended, but it has

dorrie6 &

starfishchick's blessing, so i hope you enjoy it. (ps:

scaryemilie, i'm still working on yours. what i have so far scared the hell out of me, so i'm putting it away for a little while.)

It's a rainy Saturday morning, and Harry slept in until the aroma of coffee drew him from the bed. He stumbled sleepy-eyed and messy-haired into the living room, and fumbled for the glasses left on the book case the night - or early morning - before. "Hey!" an Elijah-shaped blur on the floor muttered. "Those are mine." Harry blinked at him for a moment, then slipped the glasses on. "Are not. You're wearing yours. I'm more awake than I look, you know."

Elijah turned back to his laptop. "Course you are."

Harry frowned. "Any food around here?"

"Japanese take-away in the fridge."

Harry made a non-committal sound and rummaged for a bit in the kitchen. He flopped into the recliner with the take-away and a mug of coffee, muttered a quick spell to warm the food, and dove in. "What are you working on, anyway?"

Elijah's face lit up. "Cataloging. Like, there's this program where I can put in all the albums and titles and everything so I can keep track of my music. And so, like, if I wanted to find every song that had 'Alone' in the title I could do that. It's fantastic."

Harry had been astounded the first time he saw Elijah's music collection. There were so many bands he had never heard of, and, he suspected, even if he had spent time listening to Muggle radio he would have been at a loss to place the names. "I'm sure there's a spell," he suggested. "I mean, we could ask Hermione. That's going to take you forever."

"Naw," Elijah said. "I should have been doing it all along, but I was busy, you know? And I like doing it this way. I remember music I've forgotten. Where I bought things. Why." He looked wistful. "Better than a photo album." He looked up at Harry and smiled. "Better than our photo albums, anyway."

Harry finished breakfast, then reached for the sketchbook slipping off a stack of magazines and comic books. He curled up in the chair and drew, Charming images to move so he could ponder animation and angles so intensely that he didn't notice Elijah get up until he felt him nuzzling at the top of his head. "Mmmmm, kitty hair," Elijah murmured. "More coffee?" he asked, but Harry shook his head, drifting back into his work and the comfort of being alone together.

"Mmmmm, kitty hair," Elijah murmured.

I just adore this.

i'm all fascinated by these guys now. this is a different harry & elijah. how did they meet? since when is harry an artist? is this an au? how much so?

i've raised too many questions for myself. now i'll have to write the great elijah/harry epic.

kidding. i can't write anything of length :)

Dood, don't tease me like that!

dood. the day i write something long is the day the world ends. i have not that much story in me ;)

dude, i'm curious. this is a different H/E. at least harry is different than the usual one i'm used to reading in both canon and fanon. and i like the sketchpad idea. oooh, novel length. do it. do it! or, at least, more of the same.

i just found it frustrating that there were no conventional arts in hogwarts. the closest we have even in hobbies is colin & his camera. and i figured harry was going to need a method of self-expression pretty damn soon. and. yeah. we'll see where it goes :)

you are right. i mean, they must have forms of expression, hobbies besides quiddich and midnight duels. jk forgot to add that little detail in her 900 page monstrous novels. i'm glad you played with that idea. it felt fresh. :)

i'm just glad it worked. and in this fandom to have something fresh is truly remarkable ;)

i mean, maybe i'm just lucky in my friends. the vast majority sing or play music or write or make art or some or all of the above. music is what i'd really like to see in the potter-verse, and so i'm delighted by the choir in the trailer :)

oh yah, that frog choir. i'm so curious about that. those frogs just look -- eery. :)

Thank you so much! No one has ever written me a story before! Weird poems from that guy in high school, but never a yummy fanfic! And Elijah cataloging! Perfect. I love what you did with the prompt. You created such a comfortable scene. Inspired!

Dwayne Dibley?
*rolls on the floor*

nummy Jaci fic for you! *sigh* she sure knows how to make birthday gifts!
;)

it's a cunning plan - you all will owe me big in january. start now with your monaboyd & harry/neville epics ;)

heh...wonder what would happen if Harry used Parseltongue on Neville?
O.o

*think think*

jaci would just keel over and DIE.

it was so funny. like, hello kink i didn't know i had. the bit about draco knowing his name in parseltongue? v. v. hot. i'm stealing that. one of these days ;)

heh.
I "up-ed" Jaci's kink-o-meter?
wahoo!

I would be honoured if you stole that bit.
I'm going to have you loving Draco...you won't resist for much longer.
;)

*crawls over and whispers "Jaci" in Parseltongue*

*melts*

*rowr* (in any laguage you'd like)

*snogs you*

*snogs back and nibbles your lip*

yay! it's sooo not where i thought it was going when i started it. it's definitely made me want to write them more. dammit.

ah the tortured life of the artist. I agree this was a different Harry and Elijah (non-smoking it appears ;))but it had that wonderful feel of "the boys" lounging around the Common Room. I want to know more about them too. *folds hands and agrees to wait patiently* :)

*eyes to-be-written list*

yup. i think you're going to have to be patient ;)

I read this last week and have been thinking about it ever since, but only when I reread it this morning did I realize I never commented on it! Bad Steph.

I love the sketching, and the librarian-wannabe loves the cataloguing! Brilliant.

I have no HP icons, or I'd use one.

ooh! it's so good to hear it stuck in your brain, though! i am all intrigued by these boys now.

so you need an hp icon and a boobies icon. duly noted ;)

thank you :)

Ooooh. Jaci's icons are teh ~~crack~~ best!
