... overcoming the pingback issues by brute force if need be, gingerbred waves at toblass in passing...

Here's the ginger!Drabble we spoke about. For you. *hugs* Thanks again for the lovely pic & prompt that spawned it. ❤️

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!

I LOVE THIS!!!!!!

Yaaaaaaay!!!!!

This is such a fun little ficlet drabble! And I love how Hermione has relieved Severus of his...hangup! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

You are awesome, hon! Now I wish I had a green lego mug. Although...I suppose its nothing a bit of manipulation couldn't accomplish...

...Unikitty, another hybrid creature of Hagrid's (doubtless in violation of the Ban on Experimental Breeding, but then that's nothing new) had escaped from Hagrid's pens days ago. The inhabitants of the castle are well aware. This, too, is nothing new. Creature on the loose? It must be Tuesday.

And I love how you were able to slip Unikitty into Hogwarts as one of Hagrid's creatures. Absolutely genius!

Thank you so much for writing out this little scene!

*squishes you*

[gingerbred]

😃 So relieved glad you liked it!

I briefly toyed with the idea of making a scene with the green mug to go with it, and then sanity kicked in... lol. Too many changes for the software in the hands of this user.

I can just picture Unikitty being one of Hagrid's greatest disappointments. Not likely to kill you a dozen different ways by accident before brekkies? Pfooey. I can just see him embarrassed to be associated with her... Ah, and Fred and George coming along to needle him about licensing...

Thanks! ❤️❤️❤️

[toblass]

You are sooo awesome! Thank YOU! *hugs*

Creature on the loose? It must be Tuesday.

Oooh, I am liking where this is going!!

[gingerbred]

Hagrid, bless. The man who single (somewhat giant) handedly ruined the ecology of the forbidden forest, but is somehow seen as fit to instruct Care of Magical Creatures...

😊😘

[mywitch]

Amazing - must be one of those Gryffindors. They always land with their butt in the butter.

Also, I love how you said "Hagrid, bless." Such a Southern Belle!

[gingerbred]

I mean, you think about it, Voldemort is considered evil for killing a handful of unicorns. How many do you suppose the Acromantulas had killed over the years? Or how many centaurs had they snacked on for that matter? Yeah, way to go Hagrid. Also? *So* competent. Norbert? Hmm.

The funny thing is I picked up the 'bless' from my English colleagues. The assorted American Southerners in my life hadn't managed to worm that one into my vocabulary. (I think it's because the American version always struck me as (at least a bit) more meanly intended than the English one did.)

Uni the unicorn from the D&D cartoon of the 80s & Nermal 'The World's Cutest Kitten' all-grown-up were forced to have a cutesy baby Unikitty.
Unikitty the only creature on earth capable of killing Dementors, and causing evil people to spontaneously explode like Mr. Cresote after a wafer thin mint just by being cuter and happier than a Care Bears & MLP marathon.

[gingerbred]

Ooo! I had forgotten about Nermal.

Sounds about right. We have a lovely twist on the Care Bears, when someone is excessively whinging, we sometimes call them a 'Beschwerbär' which translates to 'complain(t) bear'. I like that a lot. (Sadly, they usually refuse to explode, no matter how many after eights one supplies...)

[too_dle_oo]

The fuchsia mugs! The advent of Unikitty as a Hagrid!creature!

AHHHH!

"When you mentioned deflowering, this wasn't quite what I thought you had in mind."

Oooooh, our poor Severus. How can you not love this wizard? He is smart as a whip, clever enough to spy for two different megalomaniacs who had no use for each other at all. Not the eenciest, teenciest bit. And he survives, and both of them are dead. But put him in a room with a comely, equally brave and intelligent witch, and he can't string together two sentences without ... and he nearly loses the thread. OMG! I laughed till my face hurt!
