Well, I know you've all been waiting with bated breath for the latest chapter in my smutty SS/HP/DM/RW/Dead!SB/NL/AD/Squid/Dobby 100-chapter WIP. But my latest roasting on F_W, as well as the appalling lack of love and/or sycophantism I'm getting from my flist, has left me so disgusted that I'm leaving fandom. Again.














... Okay, maybe not so much. Happy April Fools Day!

Title: Hermione's First Magic
Characters: Hermione, her mum
Rating: G
Notes: painless_j asked me for something happy and magical, with young Hermione.
_____________________
“Mummy, Mummy!” Hermione shouted. “Look at me!” She sat on top of the monkey bars, and slowly stood up on one of the rungs.

“Be careful, Hermione,” Helen said. She picked up her book, but after a few seconds her reading was interrupted again.

“Mummy, look what I can do now!” Hermione yelled. She stood on top of the monkey bars and dove straight down, head-first. Helen screamed. But a few inches before Hermione would have slammed into the ground she stopped dead, flipped over, and floated gently to the asphalt.

“Mummy,” Hermione said, “why are you shaking like that?”





Title: Keeping Order
Characters: Flitwick, one of the Black girls
Rating: PG
Notes: For magnolia_mama, who asked for a lesser-known professor.
___________________________
Their new professor was four feet tall. “My name is Filius Flitwick,” he said in his squeaky voice. Black, pretending to toy with her wand, shot a sneaky spell at him. But Flitwick quickly set up a Shielding Charm, while simultaneously casting an unfamiliar spell. It hit Black right in her chest, turning her skin bright orange.

“We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Flitwick continued, as if nothing had happened. “But please remember that I’ve been the undefeated dueling champion of the British Isles for five years running.”

He never had any trouble after that.




Two more to go!
