Party snippet

Jan 03, 2007 20:20

A while back I suggested a party scene challenge for the fluff thread at the Quill. Then I avoided thinking about it until well after Christmas. Then a bunny bit me and didn't let go, so here it is.

( Long rambling explanation )

OMG - I love Romilda! I could just see her unibrow furled as she tried to figure out Hannah and Neville (the gardner - LOL) and Delilah and that "dishy" Roger Davies. I loved her point of view - poor girl - she didn't chose well - but she came to right conclusions about Neville and Hannah ( ... )

I take it Neville will cut ties with her as a lawyer as well.

Oh yes. Even though he hates small talk, he managed to introduce himself to Lady Du Sult, as he he had an 'in' through knowing Michael. Neville isn't such a shrinking violet these days :D Of course, she passed him the name of Richard and Roger's practice straight away.

I couldn't work in Romilda's unibrow in the end - but it's in my mental picture, along with her ironing-board chin!

I thought you showed their backstory very economically.

My clipboard is littered with discarded fragments - LITTERED I tell you.

I'm so glad you liked it. Neville wasn't *too* horrible to poor Delilah, I hope? Tsk. All that time gathering plants in the back of beyond, he's lost a few of those lovely manners Gran taught him.

LOL - Delilah is pretty much brass-plated when it comes to feelings - so I wouldn't worry about her. Roger wasn't too nice to her, either and Gabriella gave her a great set-down, so all in all, Neville is fitting in nicely.

Honestly - if you read all the party snippets from this fluffy exercise, you'd think ever party in the HP world was full of personal intrigue and animosity.

LOL - ironing board chin. I'll have to remember that one.

The ironing board chin is from my extraordinarily harsh take on Ron / Lavender that inexplicably is my most popular one shot.

I just realised this version had some typos / repeated words from an earlier version, so I've fixed it. Not that it matters, I just had an obsessive need to point that out :D

I was just enjoying the story. I didn't notice a thing!
