Procrastination...

... how I love thee.

So instead of kicking this story's ass, I'm distracting myself with drabbles.

I wrote this one for a given prompt and pairing, and posted it somewhere where people know who it is. I'm posting it without names here. Does anyone want to guess who I'm writing about?

Waiting and Watching

He never knew what it was. She did. It was the glasses, the confidence, the way he held his quill, the stuck-up prissiness he used to hide his fire.

He never knew how it started. She did. It was infuriation losing and infatuation winning. It was her discovering passion buried under paperwork, and him discovering a razor-sharp mind behind sarcasm.

He knew how it would end. It would end on his desk, his pants pushed down, her skirt pushed up, thrusting and panting.

He saw it in her eyes. He felt it in his gut.

She was waiting.

Maybe today.

Oooh. Percy and somebody? Somebody sarcastic... taking a wild stab in the dark I'm guessing Pansy Parkinson though she never struck me as all that bright in canon.

I'm probably way off. Still, fun game :)

No, you're spot on, it's indeed Percy/Pansy.

She's never been described as all that bright. We only see her through Harry's eyes, though, so I was generous in my interpretation.

Yay! ::is all proud::

Yeah, that's the great thing about the minor characters, especially Slytherins. So much scope for interpretation. I once ended up with Pansy becoming a major character in a story I was writing, still not entirely sure how.

This is so full of win :D :D :D


And your icon now has me humming "Carrot Juice is Murder" from the Arrogant Worms (All we are saying... is give peas a chance!"

*snickers* I've just been watching the "Carrot Juice is Murder" video on YouTube. About 50 times. Laughing. Can't breathe. That's so precious. Thank you! I just need more vegetable icons now.

I was thinking Percy and Pansy as I read it, too. :) Nice drabble!

It is! The glasses gave it away...

i think it was the prissiness.. i don't think of any other character but percy as prissy in hp :)

[vanseedee.livejournal.com]

I just tried to come up with another character I'd call prissy, but I couldn't think of one either. There are some, but none where it really fits.

So yeah, I think you're right. 'Prissy' was a bit of a give-away.
