Ten Prompts in Search of Their Authors (E.T.A.)

Jan 14, 2007 22:59

Part of my writing process, when I can't get any writing done, is to write random prompts. Here are ten, which you should feel free to take. If you do take one, please post your result (or, if it's long, a link to it) in comments. (I'll update this post to reflect your offering.)

Please find the prompts and links to the responses to them under the cut. )

master list, fest, ten prompts

"It's not fair", thought Romilda, as she secretly watched Harry and at the Ministry gala celebrating Voldemort's demise.

First it was that red-headed Weasley tart. Oh, Romilda was so happy to learn that Harry had left the little slut. Then before she had a chance to try for his affections yet again, everyone was herded on to the Express and taken back home.

She had heard the gossip though, seeing as her cousin Frieda was shagging the Longbottom idiot. It seems that Harry broke up with her for her protection. Yeah right... as much as Romilda despised the little ginger freak, she had seen her in action on the Hogwarts Express the previous year and knew for a fact that she was as good at dueling, if not better, than those 2 sidekicks who stuck to Harry like spell-o-tape. No, something else was going on.

And now this... it just wasn't fair. Here was her Harry talking to someone with long black hair. Not just talking but looking up at her and smiling a beautiful brilliant smile. Occasionally touching her arm and laughing with real laughter, not that forced one she had seen him do in the past. What did this person have that she didn't? She had grown quite a bit this past year and was now tall and she also had long black hair. In fact, from the back, this person appeared to look very much like herself. Maybe that was it, maybe Harry didn't know that she was available and had found someone who looked like her instead. Apparently the poor boy had been pining away for her all this time. Well no more! Harry wouldn't have to settle for second best anymore!

With that thought, Romilda marched right over there to take her rightful place by Harry's side. When she arrived there, she grabbed the imposter's arm to pull her away but instead received the shock of her life when Professor Snape looked down at her and asked in his silkiest voice "Is there something I can help with Miss Vane?"

"It's not fair!" Romilda thought yet again as she scurried away as fast as she could, for she now knew exactly why Harry broke up with Ginny and she definitely knew what Professor Snape had that she didn't...

Thank you! I know, she tried so hard during HBP only to be thwarted by Ginny and now this! For one second I thought about being nice to her but when I started writing, it just didn't come out that way :-)

*giggles* I loved that off-handed remarks about Harry's sidekicks and Neville Longbottom finally getting some.
;P

I like this story! It adds to the funny because she sounds so sure, delusional, but very sure that she and Harry are meant to be together. *g* Ah, Severus can protect Harry from any obsessed and/or insane fangirls. :D Thanks.

That's the impression I got of her while reading HBP. Anyone who would spike chocolate with love potion then give it to someone they like is pretty damn obsessed and a little creepy too.

Thank you! I adore Snape and knew as I started writing this that it just had to be a Snarry!
