A Wake / A Different Kind of Clever
Title: A Wake
House: Gryffindor
Word Count: 100!
Characters/Pairings: Aberforth, Albus
Author's Notes: DH spoilers. Poor Dumbledore family. I interpreted socks as punching, a la sock it to me.
__________
The cemetery is silent, filled with figures tall and squat, yet all similar in shade; black is everywhere Albus looks, and he swears he can see it in his own heart.
Aberforth is silent, staring at Ariana’s coffin. He says nothing, and never once looks at Albus, who is torn between his dead sister and mourning brother. When Aberforth’s fist flies at his face - and suddenly there is red, and horrible pain - it is the only time his eyes leave Ariana.
Albus thinks if he had watched her then as Aberforth does now, there would be no need for black.
Title: A Different Kind of Clever
House: Ravenclaw
Word Count: 100!
Characters/Pairings: Luna
Author's Notes: Don’t let their dreamy nature fool you: the Lovegoods are Ravenclaws!
__________
There was a week in fourth year when Luna’s earrings went missing (Nargles, of course, had hidden them in a very nasty Ravenclaw girl’s trunk). Luna, feeling quite drab looking just as everyone else did, sent a letter to her father saying just that.
When her father wrote back, he sent her a gift, and Luna spent the next three days in a pair of rather hideous green socks. Some students speculated they were worse than her roaring lion hat.
When Luna’s earrings reappeared, and her socks were mysteriously gone, she smiled - somewhere, Xenophilius Lovegood shared the same clever grin.
