chimbomba @ hp_wishes. The Fat Lady & Sir Cadogan. PG31 December 2008 @ 12:42 am
100 words for vegablack62 @ hp_wishes.
Plans Gone Awry
I was going to be a career Auror. A decade or so of solid work, and then a family.
I wasn't supposed to fall for my trainee.
Oy, don't go like that! We were both full Aurors when things, er, heated up. And trainees aren't meant to be so irresistible, funny and gorgeous and...
Well. None of this was expected, but it's better.
All I need, if I lose heart, is a look at my ring, and I remember why I'm fighting. Every great Auror needs a reason to keep going when it all seems dark.
Frank is my reason.

100 words, written for chimbomba @ hp_wishes.
3:30 AM, second-floor spiral staircase
The Fat Lady shuddered when she saw Sir Cadogan trotting over from the other side of the glade. Oh, this would be nerve-wracking! Scurrying about, fearing Death Eaters might overhear them... But she was the Gryffindor guardian: she would do her utmost to protect her charges.
Cadogan removed his helmet, and she found herself thinking that his desire for honor and chivalry was suddenly fitting. Dark times needed virtue more than ever.
He bowed low. "Our enemies made a grave misstep when they failed to secure the paintings, my lady."
And thus, with a painted handshake, a conspiracy was born.

elendiari22 pointed out that my last post didn't come up on my flist, so I set to pondering... I had my 2008 masterlist private-locked and stickied to December 31st of this year, but I switched it around to January 1st. Let me know if you can see this post! The only thing I posted recently was A Family Scandal (drabble series: 4 Black family rarepairs and Andromeda/Ted).

I'm very happy with my prompt:
Fun facts about Margaret Chase Smith! (Source: wikipedia.)

I'm very happy with my prompt:
Moral cowardice that keeps us from speaking our minds is as dangerous to this country as irresponsible talk. The right way is not always the popular and easy way. [Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character.]The bracketed bit is not part of the assigned quote, but is an extra sentence that I found when I googled the whole phrase.
-- Margaret Chase Smith
Fun facts about Margaret Chase Smith! (Source: wikipedia.)
- Lived 1897 to 1995 (98 years old!).
- Never received a college education.
- Jobs: Teacher in a one-room schoolhouse, telephone operator, managed circulation for the Skowhegan Independent Reporter, and executive with a local textile mill.
- U.S. Rep. for 9 years, 1940-1949.
- She won this seat in 1940, when her husband died, and was elected to the Senate in 1948.
- U.S. Senator for 24 years, 1949-1973.
- Gave the "Declaration of Conscience" speech in June 1950, which protested against what would soon be called "McCarthyism."
- First woman to have her name placed in nomination for a major U.S. party (1964 Republican convention).
- "By the end of her fourth term, the charm she had had for so many years seemed to evaporate. [...] [S]he alienated liberals with her support for the Vietnam War while turning off conservatives with her votes against Nixon Supreme Court nominees Clement Haynsworth and G. Harrold Carswell."
- The only election she lost was her last one, in 1972.
- When she left the Senate, she was the longest-serving female Senator ever.

Alternate Universes!
Broken Fate by qwi_xux (Trio and Ginny, OCs. Novel-length. PG13) (One of my favorites!)
In a future world ruled by Voldemort and his Death Eaters, the next generation travels back in time in an attempt to change fate.
Counting to Five Thousand by Rhetor a.k.a.
rhetoretician (Ginny, OMC. One-shot in 3 parts. PG13)One decision leads to an army of consequences, and a lifetime is not too long to spend amending them.
Reclamation by
sam_storyteller a.k.a. copperbadge (Tom Riddle, Remus, Sirius. One-shot. R. Warning: Themes of suicide, major character death.)Although he was nearly fifty, the professor had -- as they say -- aged gracefully. It may have been the oddly secluded lifestyle of a Hogwarts professor, although rumour had it that he'd been wild enough in his youth...
Second Chance Boy by
mhalachaiswords (Lily, James, Harry, Dudley. One-shot. PG13)How could it happen? Lily survived a magical war against the most powerful dark wizard in centuries, and Petunia died when a drunk driver slammed into the Dursleys' car.
And Touch by
jetamors (Hermione, Ginny, Luna. One-shot. PG13. Warning: Major character deaths.)After Harry and Ron die, Hermione must learn to live without them.
I want to read more AUs! >>
eta: Wow, I have 666 recs saved. HP IS TEH EBIL!

two short fics by elendiari22
Three Sisters (Black sisters, <500 words, fairytale-esque)
There were three sisters, once upon a time. They lived in a special house, growing up, apart from those unworthy to see them, where they were treated like queens.
In This Auld House (Sirius & family, ~500 words)
So many memories. It amazed him that the one place he hated the most was where he could remember most clearly.
-----------
Crossovers!
To Huck with it byfernwithy (HP/Mark Twain's Huck Finn. Hermione, Huck Finn. Short one-shot.)
I was turning it over in my head, though--and mostly thinking about Mary Jane and her pretty red hair--when I heard something pop up in the air, and, bam, come crashing down through the tops of the trees, and then I heard, clear as a bell, a girl's voice saying, "Oh, bother! Subsisto!"
ho for hoggwarts! by Alice Dryden (HP/Moleswoth. Nigel Molesworth at Hogwarts. Short one-shot.)
i, nigel molesworth, gorila of 3b and hero hem-hem of this peice, am stroling down main skool corridor one evening after prep when i encounter my grate freind peason clutching a mitey TOME.
Of Dwarves and Stewed Lucius bythrihyrne a.k.a. Thevina Finduilas (HP/Tolkien. Dwarves, Lucius Malfoy, Snape. Good-sized one-shot.)
Lucius Malfoy blinked. Several times. Still clutching the ancient amulet above his heart, he looked disbelievingly at what was a very handsomely outfitted workshop. He looked around quickly, but he was alone in the room.
The Room with a Computer byminisinoo (HP/X-Men. Hermione, Scott "Cyclops" Summers, others. Long one-shot in three parts.)
The first time Hermione Granger heard the word "mutant," it was spoken by her parents in hushed tones after her magical powers had first manifested.
Sherlock Holmes and the Ravenclaw Codex bydolorous_ett (HP/Sherlock Holmes. Holmes, Watson, Phineas Nigellus, many OCs. 13 chapters + epilogue.)
“A visitor for Mr Holmes,” she announced. “A Professor Weaselby.”
