Iconfic the First (aka I ought to be ashamed of myself)

[dolabellae]

As promised, if you choose an icon of mine, I shall do my best to write a fic inspired by it. First one up is for dbassassin. Icon (and title) taken from the video to The Concretes' song Warm Night, which you can see here if you like, because a)I think it's great fun and b)I listened to it nonstop whilst writing this

I trust the chocolate cauldrons will include both Weasley-manufactured love potion and goat hair?

Well, I had at first envisaged this as taking place pre-Weasleys, cf Filch's predecessor Apollyon Pringle's cat. But your suggestion, I see now, adds a whole new level of poignancy, in which Minerva slips back during her catnip dream and encounters a long lost love. Woe!

Erm, I confess I had forgotten who Apolloyon Pringle was.

Incidentally, are you about in London next Monday (7th May) - I may be down for a ballet trip.

Sorry - didn't see this for a bit...

Given that AP is mentioned precisely once in the books, I think I have more to confess in terms of Potter nerdishness for remembering him!

Ah, I came up to Cambridge on the Mayday bank holiday last year, didn't I? Although I am going to be in London, I think I'm probably going to be tied up (in the usual nothing-happens-for-two-weekends-then-everything-happens-at-once scenario...) Sorry!

But I pride myself on remembering pointless and obscure details from books!

Have a good weekend. I'm also away at a wedding Fri - Sun, so trying to pack even more in is not a good idea, but Monday is the last performance and I'm damn well not going to miss it!
