drabble: chipper - james

[chipper] - james
part of dorrito's every flavour mood beans.

"She didn't say no!" James leapt into the doorway, swung briefly from the frame and dropped to his feet.

"She didn't say yes either," Peter muttered as he slipped into the room behind him.

"Yet!" James corrected, tumbling onto his bed. "It's just a matter of time."

"Til what?" asked Sirius. "There's no Charm that'll convince a girl to be interested in someone like you. Remus would have found it, yet here he is, sad and single." Remus glared automatically.

James smiled brightly. "The fair Miss Evans will still agree to join me. Your negative attitude shall have no effect."

Love. It. Love it love it love it.

I love school-era James-Remus-Sirius-and Peter I suppose if I must include him.

YAY!

This is just delightful! Oh oh oh how I love your Marauders!

"Your negative attitude shall have no effect."

For some reason, that just *really* rang true to me. There is something exactly right about that bit of dialogue in a way that makes me quite giddy.

Oh, I do love this so.

oh, i love that you mentioned that, because i wasn't sure if it would work outside of my head. but i could just -hear- it, exactly the way he would say it, and so i left it :D

Yay, Marauders! Wonderful voices, especially James.

But of course my favorite is: Remus glared automatically. The adverb makes me whoop with joy. :)

thank you so much! i was rather taken with that bit myself ;)

*howls* I don't care which Remus-and-Sirius plotline you've got going there, it almost doesn't matter.

hee! that's exactly what i decided :) thank you!

Look at you with the dialogue! *glomp*
This is so...so...this is really fun. You captured everything. Gah! PERFECT!

The first line with James swinging from the doorframe, and the playful teasing of Remus' status...awesome!

so love you. Someone should draw this scene. It's so visual!

[identity profile] marginalia.livejournal.com 2004-12-11 12:00 pm (UTC)(link)
well, y'know, once in a while i let them talk. hee!

dude, i wish someone would. my fic has never appealed to the fandom artists, though. woe.

thank you!

This drabble is just so visual, though. I think we should start begging all the artists we know! heh.
