for sevs_girl72 marginaliana April 16 2006, 01:58:25 UTC

Recipient: sevs_girl72
Prompt: # Snape has an obsessive affinity for flamingoes.
Word Count: 100 exactly
Rating: G

"I have to do what to defeat Voldemort?!?" asked Harry incredulously.

"The flamingo animagus is your destiny, Potter," said Snape, his voice full of strange excitement, "though I don't expect you to appreciate the honor. You'll hide among the colony, performing the traditional courtship displays. I'll teach them all to you, of course - the wing-salute, the head-flag, the twist-preen. Then, when he comes to harvest the eggs for the potion, you strike!"

"How, exactly?"

"Ah," said Snape, raising a knowing eyebrow. "A subtle beast, the flamingo. You'll know, when the time comes. I suspect your coloring may do him in."

This is hilarious!!! Every word Snape speaks is perfect! And you yourself seem to know a suspicious amoung about flamingo courtship behaviour ... is there something you want to tell us?

Hee! It's total crackfic, and yet? Snape and Harry sound entirely in character. :)

I bow down to your amazing fic writing skills!
I really didn't think it was possible
to keep Snape in character while talking about flamingoes
^_^

This is truly wonderful. *giggles madly* Voldemort doesn't stand a chance...

Re: for sevs_girl72 marginaliana April 18 2006, 23:00:15 UTC

:D Thank you! Ten years from now the whole wizarding world will parade down Diagon Alley for Harry Potter day, doing their ceremonial twist-preen in unison...

Oh, the light in Snape's eyes - it's beyond creepy.
Brilliant. *wing salutes you*
