Vagrant Vines: A Meme-Based Minific
Vagrant Vines: A Meme-Based Minific
By dracontia
Summary: Neville needs a plant-sitter. This was an LJ meme gone a bit mad (explanation in the Author’s Note within.)
Disclaimer: Neither the characters nor the idea for this fic are mine. I simply executed the concept to the best of my abilities with the available tools.
“Harry…”
“I said no, Neville!”
“But it’s just for three days!”
“I am not taking care of your Mimbulus mimbletonia again!”
“I promise it won’t give you any trouble.”
“That’s what you said last time, and the thing squirted me with something caustic! I still have a mark on my-leave it with Luna, OK?”
“I can’t leave it with Luna. The last time she had it, she took it on a date.”
“I bet her date wasn’t too happy about that.”
“No, Harry-she set it up with another mimbletonia.”
Pause.
“She… tried matchmaking… for your plant?”
“They sort of hit it off. One more date and I’m afraid I’ll have to deal with seedlings.”
Sigh. “Give me the goddamn plant.”
“Thanks-”
“-and lots of that salve.”
“Right.”
FIN
Author’s Note: This fic was based on the meme below:
The idea is simple (HAH!): pick ten characters from the Potter books without looking at the questions, and number them 1 to 10; then answer the questions without changing the order in which you chose the characters to make them fit better. (Thanks a lot, Potteresque_ire. LOL)
This was my blind list:
1. Draco
2. Harry
3. Percy
4. Neville
5. Luna
6. Mrs. Figg
7. George
8. Minerva
9. Snape
10. Narcissa
And this all-dialogue ficlet was my answer to question 5 of 16
Q5. If 2 and 4 got into an argument what would it be about? How would they settle it?
No, I am not posting the other 15 replies. (Before you accuse me of holding out, let it be known that only one or two other questions lent themselves to writing an entire drabble or ficlet.)
