pinkfinity Name a character in any of my fandoms* and I'll tell you 3-4 things about them from my personal fanon-take on said character. And since I always like these better when there's fic involved, I'll add a bonus: And I'll write you a few lines of a fic that sums up my opinion.Fandoms include (but are not necessarily limited to):

1. Tends to want to have things both ways
2. Is actually kind of a useless witch (and why would she have ever bothered, with Albus around and willing to do everything for her?)

"And you have yet," she said, turning to face him as Albus receded into the crowd, "to compliment me on my new dress."
"You look smashing, of course, darling." Then, "Who was that?"

He gave her his most shameless grin. "But you are rather sweet..."
