drabble: angry - bill, molly

[angry] - bill, molly
part of dorrito's every flavour mood beans

"Fascists," Bill snarls, and his face on the clock springs to "mortal peril." "I'm glad I'm leaving. I'm just sorry that the others have to live with this obsessive monitoring."

Disapparating is more dramatic than slamming the door, but the quiet pop is much less satisfying. The Burrow doesn't shake, no aged relations quiver in their frames, but the sound echoes in Molly's ears as she puts away half-formed sentences about "their own good" and "dark times".

Smiling grimly as he glares down at her from "traveling", she puts on a cloak and directs her energy towards the garden gnomes.

Ooohhhh! I love how he wants to make a loud noise as he exits. It is very satisfying to do so when you're angry; it feels like you've punctuated and expressed it properly.

It's a lovely change to have one of the kids be angrier than Molly, and for it to be Molly who has to bite her words. :D Fantastic!

I love this very much. I think it's the garden gnomes, or at least partly the garden gnomes. Because that is exactly what she'd do.

for some reason, the first sentence of this is striking me as the best first sentence for a drabble ever. i think it's something about the rhythm (you always have good rhythm) and the image of the clock and uh, the fact that i really like the word "fascists." this is fabulous, it makes me feel all snarly and. well yeah, like i want to go slam a door for no reason.
