Title: Cupid’s Choice: Snake Bite & Black
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco, Ron/Hermione, Ginny/Neville
Summary: Draco is introduced to Harry’s love of fruit flavoured Muggle concoctions in a tale that Mills & Boon would be reluctant to tell. A little bit of humour, a little bit of flangst, and far too much snarky Draco.
Rating: hard

For someone so obviously dim-witted, the driver looked surprisingly average. There should have been a protruding brow at the very least, Draco thought.

LOL! Best line I've read in a very long time. :-D I'm glad you post it, it's a beautiful love story.

[rospberry]

Are you trying to say I've written something romantic? Hee. Perish the thought.

BTW I'm halfway through Twilight and J hasn't had a big mention yet :) It's...um...both bad and good. I just start to love it and then there's a bit of writing that just makes me cringe. I'm addicted, tho.

I don't know, I have not one romantic bone in my body after all :-P

Jasper is not a big part of the books which is bad, but then again he's more interesting as a character from Edward so maybe that's why. The writing...not so good. The protagonist(Bella)...I want to kill her and admit the murder! I don't find the epic love others find in Edward and Bella. Lust maybe, but love? Why? Because she smells good and he can't read her mind? Um, okay. That works. If you are six years old!

But Jasper..he has a reason, a good reason to brood. Too bad that we know so little about him :-(

The book is getting worse *sighs*. I just read the whole scene in the meadow today with the 'sparkling'. Can Bella be any more vomit inducing? I gave one of my friends a copy and she just sent me a text saying she loved it and was I buying more! Aarghh. You don't happen to have any of the others on your pc do you? Or know where I could get 'em? *looks hopeful*

I wish there were a third chapter to this lovely romantic story.

[rospberry]

LOL I had enough stress writing this much *grin*. Thanks so much for the lovely comments!! *hug*

This was positively brilliant!
Draco characterization was spot on. I love the snarkiness and scintillating dialog. Its smart, intelligent and quick witted.

Beautifully done!

[rospberry]

Oh, thanks so much. *massive hug* I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Aww. So much fun and then a bit angst and then lots of awww. Just like it should be!

"I’m quite partial to your limbs as well," Harry murmured, fingers wrapping around Draco’s wine glass and taking it out of his trembling fingers.
Did you hear that? That was me hitting the floor! *swoons*

[rospberry]

*grin* Hope you didn't hurt yourself. You know, I'd forgotten I'd written that line - I wrote that naughty (lol) bit in a splurge of writing and it does surprise me what romantic nonsense appears out of my subconscious.

Anyhoo, really glad you enjoyed it and THANK YOU so much for taking the time to comment!

[rospberry]

Sorry me again (behaving stalkerishly) - I hope you don't mind if I friend you...some of the recs on your journal are hilarious (and the tips uber helpful).

[joan_waterhouse]

Thanks for friending (I friended you back, btw)
I'm glad there's some useful stuff in the randomness of my journal ;)

[rospberry]

Thank you SO much!!!!
