chapter two: aunt marge's big mistake

so. the cunning plan. intro for those wot don't read

dorrie6. all one of you :) for no apparent reason i figured out last night that there are 11 days until harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban opens in the us. and there are 22 chapters in the book. so

dorrie6 and i are each going to write a drabble a day, based on the chapter titles. i'm the evens. be sure to check out her lj for the odd ones. i mean, the odd-numbered ones. and so it begins. i cannot believe how long it took me to write this one.

[aunt marge's big mistake] - harry/ron, of all things

"Should we send a card to my Aunt Marge?"

Ron peered over Harry's shoulder. "Isn't she the one who gave you dog biscuits?"

"As gifts go, that was fairly decent." Harry pointed out. "Remember the time I got an old sock?"

"Was that the year you got a horrid sweater from my mum? Hang on, that doesn't narrow it down."

"Though, really," Harry considered, his expression softening. "Her biggest mistake was giving them to me a few years early. Snuffles might have appreciated the change in diet."

"Definitely a step up from rat," Ron agreed. "Add her. She's still family."

That is a truely ingenious idea. I've added her journal to favorites so I can read both. :)

thanks! and her journal is worth following even without this project :)

Brilliant idea!

*bow*

heehee
I like it!

p.s. I added you to keep up with the drabbles :)

thank you and welcome!

Wow, what a fantastic idea! And I love this one. The idea of Snuffles getting Harry's dog biscuits... *nort* Ron's right, twould make a change :-p

Looking forward to reading the rest :)

yay! thank you! we're looking forward to writing them. i am, anyway. she might be cursing my name by the end ;)

::loves herself some jaci::

So cute :D

*hearts*

Cute. I love Ron. He's always such a great opportunity for smartass remarks. :)

i just can't believe i wrote that much dialogue ;) thank you!

you and

dorrie6 are much cooler than me, if i were drabbling with PoA chapter titles, i'd probably just end up writing mini-re mixes of the chapters? this is much more interesting.

Ron/Harry was my first ever OTP-type-thing, so this makes me feel warm and fuzzy. you've done a really lovely thing here with the dialogue, it's funny and has a nice rhythm to it.

actually, when i first suggested the challenge to melinda i said i'd prefer if they were not set during poa, just to avoid that. we'll see how it goes!

and i'm always nervous about my dialogue, which is why i so rarely write it. so thank you!

Eee! fun!

thanks :)

something to keep the two of us out of trouble? totally a good thing :)

Hee hee hee, love this, m'dear. I knew you'd do something interesting with this title. :)

"Was that the year you got a horrid sweater from my mum? Hang on, that doesn't narrow it down."

*heart*

can you believe i wrote that much dialogue? sheesh.

*hunts bunnies for tomorrow omg*

Your cunning plan is very...cunning! :)

And your dialogue is wonderful.

hee! thank you :)

The dialogue IS wonderful - I know you don't think of yourself as a dialogue-y person, but it works, it really does.

*adores*

thank you, dear :)

Awesome. I'm adding you to keep track of these, if you don't mind. . .

thanks and welcome!

I think it is a great idea and this drabble is wonderful. Hurray for Harry/Ron!!

thank you!

Aww, how sweet. Loved it! :D

I truly must keep up with both sides of this drabblefest. *adds to friends* Whee!

yay! welcome :)

Really great Harry/Ron dialogue (which is one of my favourite things in the world)!

I've read some of your drabbles before and they are always good, so I'm excited to get a drabble from either you or

dorrie6 every day because you're such fine drabble writers :)

I think I'll have to add you too to keep up with the drabbles. I will be reading even though I might not comment every time. Have fun writing them!

thanks - i was pretty nervous about the dialogue because i don't usually write it. welcome!
