The Snapelets Ride Again

In response to the overwhelming support for this scene on the poll I ran a couple of weeks ago, it's...

The Birthday Party
In which Malcolm's coming of age goes pear-shaped in several different ways, thanks to the involvement of Albion, Margot, Geoff Weasley, and a girl named Susannah.

If Margot were annoyed, she gave no sign of it. "You'll have

This is a cute one. Unfortunately, am tired, no more comments, except that I'm very glad your Snape family is not the Perfect Happy Family. :)

Whoo hoo! I love Malcom. Susannah is adorable as well. And Imogen! Whoot!

I want the WHOLE STORY!!! *whines*

Yes, I'm a demanding fangirl. So sue me.

This was very cool. Your Snapelets are fun kids. :-)

Wow. That family can be stifling. They all have such ... presence. Great job in showing that; it sucks us right in and makes us weep when we reach the end, realizing there's no more (unless you have a huge writing frenzy hidden somewhere). I pity the person who walks into the room where the Snape family is -- especially if that person doesn't have a strong sense of self. Maud's very soothing, though. She helps create a nice balance in that whirlwind.

And Margot's intriguing. What exactly are her plans? Should I know them? If not, can I? =)

I enjoyed, but I thought I should make a comment- in Australia, "I'm stuffed" is a very crude way of saying you've just had sex. (my mom found this out the hard way, when I was much younger. *grin* It's been a family story ever since) I don't know if Geoff would know or if it would matter, but just in case, thought I'd mention...

It is? That's news to me, and I'm an Aussie. Are you confusing it with "get stuffed", which is about the equivalent of the English "bugger off". Or maybe the etymology has the same root, but I've never heard of the "I'm stuffed" version. Maybe I don't hang around with crude enough people.

*grins* All I know is it's between my mom and a very shocked taxi driver. I'll have to ask her.

I've never heard it used that way. All I know is "I'm stuffed" meaning "I'm exhausted" or "get stuffed" as a politer version of "get f***ed". Whereabouts in Australia are you?
