Wow. You created such a sense of urgency and panic with so few words. Nice.

[mhalachaiswords]

Thank you. I'm currently in the middle of a Ginny/Tom phase, so every promopt puts me there these days.

[dizilla]

Ooh very nice. And I love your icon.

[mhalachaiswords]

Thank you (and thank you). Having the perfect icon for a post makes me a happy LJ camper :)

That was wonderful! I have to admit, I find Ginny/Tom a fascinating pairing.

and having the good icons for posts is always a happy event

They're just so... amazingly disfunctional. Ginny went through this big tramuam in First year and no one talks about it? It's like they feed the kids amnesia potion in the pumpkin juice. Yeesh.

But I ramble.

[thekams]

No, I know exactly what you mean. Harry did his whole "I can't be with you" thing at the end of HPB, but really, Ginny's gone through a lot of Voldie crap as well. Like, seriously...who else besides Harry and Ginny of the good guys as been possesed by Voldie? If I was Ginny, I'd be having fits *nods*

Oh, I adore this. Perfectly reasonable rationale for Ginny and what must have been going through her mind at the time...

[mhalachaiswords]

Thank you. That moment was just misread so badly by our 12-year-old hero... but he ended up saving the day after all. And now no one talks about Ginny and Tom anymore.

(and just because I like to stir things up, let me use an icon crafted from that same scene, but a different angle :)
