“It makes perfect sense, you know.”
“On the contrary, it makes no sense whatsoever! How you could ever presume that I’m in love with Harry Potter is beyond me, Pansy.”
“Oh, come on, Draco. You’ve been staring at him the past forty minutes. And I really wish I didn’t have to be the one to tell you this, but your robe is not nearly enough to cover every bit of your… ahem, excitement.”
Draco was silent for a long moment before snapping haughtily, “I’d prefer it if you didn’t poke logic shaped holes in my reasoning, thank you very much.”
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
So basically I had a mountain of homework for weeks and weeks and didn't participate in last week's flashback challenge. I choose "whisper" as the challenge, and actually wrote two drabbles before promptly forgetting about them. So even though they're late and such, i just wanted to put them both up because i really liked them. If this is not okay, just tell me and i'll be sure to take them out! thanks!
Oh, and they are both unrelated to eachother, by the way.
Whisper
“Don’t go, Harry. You don’t have to do this!”
He smiled at me. It was small, sad smile.
Of course it would end like this - Harry, the brave hero, running after the Dark Lord. Somehow I knew that whether Harry bested Voldemort or not, he would surely fall. He would go to the one place I could not follow.
“It doesn’t have to be you! Let somebody - anybody! - else go!”
He shook his head then and took my face in his hands. He whispered into my ear seven bittersweet words, then turned and ran.
For you, a thousand times over.
***
Whisper
He had been dying for years and it looked as if the Reaper was finally here to take what was left of a disease ravaged body.
Selfishly, I hoped he would hold on, when perhaps death would be a blessing to him now.
I had hoped he would be lucid when he went so that I could tell him I loved him just one more time. It didn’t look like that would happen now.
But then he gazed up at me, looking like a child searching for redemption, and whispered in my ear.
Out, out, brief candle!
He was gone.
another author's note (this post seems to be rife with those, doesn't it?): reference in drabble 1 ["for you, a thousand times over"] is from the best book i have ever read, The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseni. the reference in drabble 2 ["out, out, brief candle"] is an allusion to Shakespeare's Macbeth.
