chapter two: aunt marge's big mistake

so. the cunning plan. intro for those wot don't read [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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. :)

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

you and [livejournal.com profile] 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.

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."

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

[identity profile] marginalia.livejournal.com 2004-05-25 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
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!

[identity profile] marginalia.livejournal.com 2004-05-25 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
thanks :)

[identity profile] marginalia.livejournal.com 2004-05-25 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
