Challenge Call!
Okay, so on lj, the HP fanfic author fernwithy holds these challenge drabble things where people request stuff from her stories' universes and what not. Hugely popular, I've gotten a few from her and they're just lovely, so! (here's one and two) I've been really trying to get better at just being able to write out my characters without MUCH prompt, so maybe this will help?

I think it's different than the other drabble memes, http://fernwithy.livejournal.com/682645.html?nc=329 that's what she does XD

So! Give me a situation we've talked about that could have actually happened in Valesco canon, history, and future. How did this happen? Why did they do that? What was going through their mind?

Sirius, James, ELVENDORK and Lily.

"That's not nice."

Lily's lips twisted greatly in annoyance, and she did mean to glare at Black and Potter, but her eyes were glued onto the person they were currently mocking. Lily let out a loud breath, if only the Hufflepuff (that's all she could say, as a solid fact)...they could do something with their hair...and not wearing those baggy robes all the time would help so much...

"You can't even figure it out, Evans!" Potter crowed, nearly falling to the ground, his back was so far bent back on the bench. Lily finally was able to remove her eyes from the target of the jeering and sneered at Potter, who toppled back forward to drop his head to the dining table.

"I don't need to figure it out, Potter, I already know," she snapped, sitting back up and poking sharply at her peas. "You two are just so absorbed in your own idiotic pranks that you haven't bothered to pay attention to anyone else in this school for the past five years."

Sirius snorted loudly, loosening his tie with his eyes continuing to bore holes into their victim, "I've paid plenty of attention to Elvendork."

"His name isn't---" Lily froze, but quickly started again, "I mean, her name--"

"AHA!" James shouted loudly, standing up and pointing a stiff finger at Lily, who was now busying herself with unfolding her napkin and laying it rightly on her lap, "ADMIT IT! ELVENDORK IS UNISEX!"

Erin and Aland, after he's cleared.

"...not guilty."

Half of the court jumped up in joy, and the others--there were some shouts of indignation, but mostly there was silence and a murmuring that quickly flowed with the crowd out of the large room. Aland Avery's eyes were as wide as quaffles, the words still bouncing heavily in his head. He couldn't even bother to tell Vivica to stop kissing his cheeks because it was embarrassing he was---oy, he was not guilty.

Which--well. Aland knew that, because--hell. He just did, there wasn't anymore explanation than that. But still.

"Yeah---" he nodded numbly at his father, and ducked out of Darren's grasp, pushing through the crowd toward the back of the courtroom. He'd seen her there, she had to have been there--"Erin!"

The blonde had just ducked through the doors, but Aland managed to get through the people blocking the aisle fast enough to catch up with her, "Erin--"

She stopped and turned around, eyes red rimmed and mouth dropped slightly as it looked to be hard to breath with her tears. "I'm--glad, Aland, I'm glad--"

"I--"

"I know, I---know, you, I know you--"

Aland ducked his head and nodded, the guilt that he was dismissed of charges of being a death eater beginning to plague him. Not that he thought that was wrong, but the fact that there was a lie within all of this--

"I'm sorry," he muttered, "I never got to say it."

There wasn't a response and Aland's feet twitched to move, but Erin's hand shot into view and she grabbed his wrist, forcing Aland to look back up. Erin's eyes shimmered with fresh tears, but she was nodding all the same.

"I know, Aland. Thank you."

Gideon and Molly: younger Molly going off to school and huffy Gideon

cristina_lacosa
2008-08-06 03:29 am UTC (link)

Molly adjusted her shiny new prefect badge and puffed her chest out in a grand manner, examining it in every angle and light she could muster. Just imagine. Her and Arthur, prefects! Of course, there really wasn't any other choice for the boy prefect, as his roommates were neanderthals, but she had been quite concerned about her status! But, the head of Gryffindor had chosen wisely, and Molly was now the fifth year prefect for her House. It was all so exciting!

She twisted again, pulling her blouse down, when she spotted one of her brothers in the mirror, glowering greatly.

"Hm?" she said, hands going to her hair to let loose her ponytail to tie it back up in a braid. "Did Fabian do something?"

"No," Gideon sighed, stomping into her room and dropping hard on her desk's chair. Molly continued to focus on her appearance as her little brother's legs kicked furiously under the chair, and she didn't turn around until she was completely satisfied with her braid.

"What's wrong, then?" she asked, crossing the room to find her hair clips, "You've got to go get dressed, we leave for King's Cross in half an hour!"

"I'm not going," Gideon snapped, and finally Molly turned her focus completely on her brother. "It's stupid."

"Why not! I'm not going to see you until Christmas!" The little brat! What, was there some wireless show he needed to listen to, that he couldn't send her off? "Let's see if I send you anything from Honeydukes!"

"Molly!" Gideon squeaked, looking aghast that she had dared threatened him with that, "That's not fair!"

"Well!" she let out, "Then why aren't you coming!"

"'Cause!"

"Because, what!"

"I dunt want you to go!"

Molly's shoulders slumped and Gideon pouted greatly, widening and watering his eyes as if he knew that the kicked-puppy look was going to get him his treats back. Of course, she would never not send her brothers presents, but Gideon didn't need to know that.

"I have to go," Molly said, her tone much kinder than before, "I have to learn new magic, and I'm a prefect now--"

"I wanna be a prefect!" Gideon exclaimed, and Molly immediately knew what to do to stop any tears from falling. She hurried over to her desk, Gideon peeking through her arms at her quickly moving motions. Scissors were out, then some glitter and--yes, that was a quick job, even without magic! Good thing she had started scrapbooking, this summer!

"Here you go, Prefect Gideon!" Molly said happily, taking a pin and sticking the paper star (with a dazzling 'P' in the center) to Gideon's lapel.

"What's a prefect do?" he asked, admiring his new badge.

"Well, they make sure all the rules are being followed, and---"

"FABIAN!" Gideon shrieked, jumping off the chair and racing out the room, "STOP DIGGING UP MUMMY'S GARDEN FOR WORMS! YOU HAFTA LISTEN TO ME NOW I'MA PREFECT!"

The hollering continued through the house, and Molly thought about going and stopping the ruckus that she knew was going to erupt...screaming about the tattling, the new sense of entightlement...oy, that wasn't a good idea, giving him that badge.

Fiona + Ian, telling her he wants to pursue a Quidditch career

cristina_lacosa
2008-08-06 06:25 am UTC (link)

Fiona yawned greatly, snug under Ian Bell's arm. Quidditch was done, N.E.W.T.s were over, and now there was nothing to do but lie around and be as lazy as possible.

"The Arrows want me to tryout," Ian muttered into her hair. Fiona blinked, having nearly fallen asleep against his chest, and lifted her head to look up at Ian. His cheeks were flushed and he looked down at her expectantly.

"Really?" Fiona shifted out from under his arm and knelt beside him. Ian straightened up against the trunk of the tree and nodded quickly, his worry switching over to excitement.

"Yeah! Right after school, and---I mean," he put his hands through his hair, as if trying to calm his nerves, "I think I've got a good shot, they've had four players retire in the last five years so they're trying to rebuild, and Harney's asking for a trade, so---I mean, I think I've got a good chance, and---and right? You think so?"

"Oh! Yeah--I mean!" Fiona nodded along just as excitedly, though her heart was pounding so hard she could feel it in her ears. Professional quidditch? That--that meant never being around, that meant long hours, that meant women flinging themselves at you and---and it meant a lot of money, a lot of money that Fiona had nothing to compare to and----and they weren't that serious, and she...she had Brianna to think about, that...

That wouldn't make sense. It couldn't. She and Ian hadn't been dating for long, and with her final year of Hogwarts ending, Fiona was a legal witch and could take her sister out of their hellhole of a house and...she had to do that herself. Dear, God, something so wonderful for Ian shouldn't make her think of all the shit she was going to have to deal with in the next few weeks.

"Are you sure?" Ian asked, leaning forward a bit with a sideways grin on his face. "You look like you're about to puke."

"Just thinking about how much I hate the Arrows," Fiona muttered, a sly grin crossing her features to cover up her worry as she leaned in to kiss him soundly. She should've known, though--good things like this never managed to last for long.

Jugsons + Lucy, play date >]

A lot of shrieking and yelling in the Jugson household usually meant that some fun was going on. Bree had attempted to keep herself out of the madness that was her sisters and their friends because she did have some summer reading to do, but...well, she was the one that had taught them how to shriek and yell in the first place, hm?

Climbing up the stairs, the noise grew louder as expected. What wasn't expected was that the noise was coming from the boys' room, and Bree suddenly realized that one of those high pitched shrieks was not coming from one of the girls, but from her littlest sibling, Will.

She stood in the door frame of the boys' room and her eyebrows rose. Caitlin was on the bed, arranging what looked like to be her entire collection of dolls (plush, porcelain, paper, any kind of doll she could muster) into an audience of sorts. Deidra was wrangling their dog into a dress that was definitely not meant for a dog, and Erin was--wait, that wasn't Erin.

"Lucy?" Bree called, and the blonde, sitting on top of her squirming little brother Will, turned and waved happily toward Bree as if it wasn't an odd sight to be pinning someone to the ground.

"Hello, Bree! Are you going to join our tea party?"

"THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE A TEA PARTY IN A BOY ROOM!" Will shrieked, put Lucy simply clamped her hand onto his mouth, her perpetual smile not twitching in the slightest.

Bree was shoved out of the way by a bolt of blonde, and she finally figured out where Erin had been--digging through their mother's closet. She held up the rather lavish garden party hats with a huge sense of triumph, and exclaimed, "Now we can have a party!"

This was her time go. Bree slipped back out into the hallway, but not before she could hear, "William! Lucy does not think that is the proper language for a tea party!"

Tomas and Avis

"THINK FAST!"

"I always think---"

Avis Tremaine was knocked into the grass of the courtyard as something hard and red smacked into the side of her face. She laid flat on her back, glasses askew on her nose and cheeks puffed with great annoyance as she'd known exactly what had happened. The blurry images standing around her...oh, oh she knew who those were.

"You all right there, Tremaine?" the voice of Tomas Booth rang. Avis grumbled and fixed her glasses, now managing to lock here glare onto the Gryffindor's face. Of course he had that stupid, cheeky grin on his face, he always did. His hand was stuck out to help her up from the ground, but her hands remained planted in the grass. "Oh, come on, it was an accident!"

"You threw it at me when I wasn't looking!"

"I said 'think fast'," Tomas said, eyebrows rising as his head moved back and forth in a mocking manner. "Not my fault you've got shoddy reflexes."

"Oh, yes," Avis snapped, pushing herself up and swatting his hand away, "Yes, catching a stupid red ball with your big---ugly hands is such a talent, Booth, I really."

"I'm a beater, love," he said loudly, making the other students around him laugh. Avis' face grew even redder and without thinking she bent down and picked up the quaffle, hurling it with all her might at Tomas. This didn't end up so well, as it slipped from her hands and ended up smacking a first year in the nose.

"I was a meter away," Tomas drawled, arms crossing and a 'what are you going to do now?' look on his face. Avis' mouth dropped open to speak, but she simply shut her lips and stormed past him to help the first year.

Someone was going to get a toad stuffed up his arse---and that was definitely doable.

"Hola!"

"But it has an 'h' in front!"

Clara Abbott giggled and scooched forward on the bed to point at the words she'd scribbled down onto some parchment for Joceline. She'd never thought it was a big deal to know Spanish, as it was all her mother spoke to them at home, but when her roommate had shown such interest, well! Then! There was no reason not to show it off a little bit! Plus, Daddy had said to try and make friends, especially after that letter home where she'd cried about no one liking her or talking to her and and and---

"You don't say the h-sound for some reason," Clara responded with a shrug. Joceline looked up at her skeptically but nodded, finger tracing down the list of words for a new one.

"And what's that one mean?"

Clara bent over to get a closer look, and her eyes brightened, "Friend! Amiga means friend!"

"Ohhh," Joceline let out, and she twisted to face Clara. Her hand move in a wide, rainbow like wave and she said, "Hola, amiga!"

Clara shrieked in delight and applauded Joceline's efforts, ready to teach her amiga some more.

"This shouldn't be so difficult."

Brad Madley looked down at Phoebe with a smirk, and she nodded, eyes still locked onto the counter in front of them. The teenage worker behind them (never mind that they were probably the same age as him; muggles just always felt younger, to Phoebe) let out an exasperated sigh and moved over to help some other customers. It was not their fault that the cinema had such a wide variety of treats and they had such little funds!

"You know," Phoebe said, "we could go with the traditional popcorn and soda." This suggestion made Brad's chin rise in contemplative thought, but then he shook his head with a look of defeat.

"The Muppet Movie is kind of epic, though..."

"Mmm, you're right."

She leaned over the counter and put her hand up in a wave, catching the eye of the worker once more (but only after he tried to ignore her for another minute); Merlin, this kid was rude.

"I think we're going to get cotton candy," Phoebe said with a decisive nod.

"We don't have any."

"But...it says on the sign right there---"

The worker scoffed, "So?"

"I think," Brad interrupted, stepping forward with what Phoebe believed to be his best auror-in-training look and stance, "that what you meant was that you don't have any here right now. Because clearly your lovely cinema would not partake in false advertising."

The teenager blinked slowly and Brad's eyebrows rose.

"I really don't want to have to get your manager."

"---two cotton candy--things, coming right up--" he muttered as he scuttled away. Phoebe watched him disappear in awe and turned back to Brad, hand going up for a high-five, which was gladly reciprocated.

Anthony telling his parents about the ball/Melinda!

cristina_lacosa
2008-08-10 04:16 pm UTC (link)

"Dad--is the owl out?"

Anthony Goldstein popped his head into the kitchen, where his parents were doing adult like things--Sebastian was attempting to stick his hand into the batch of strawberries Mackenzie had just cleaned, and she was expertly swatting him away without even looking at him.

"Erm--" Sebastian's hand was hovering over the bowl, intensely concentrated, "I--think so----ow!"

"I need all of them," his wife muttered, but Anthony could see a smirk of amusement on his mother's face.

"Oh, well. When will it get back?"

"Tonight? Maybe?" Sebastian had his lips pressed to the back of his hand, and he stared curiously over at his son. "What are you sending out?"

"Oh, see--" Anthony's face immediately flushed, "There's this---girl, and--"

His blush grew even deeper as both of his parents, his mother turning around from the pie she was making, stared with great interest over at him.

"A girl?" Mackenzie asked, lips pursed in a small smile. Sebastian took this opportunity to snatch a strawberry and popped it into his mouth before he could be caught; he chewed on it exaggeratedly in his heightened amusement.

"Well! Who is she? Gryffindor, right? I'm sure--"

"Erm!" Anthony didn't think this was typical conversation to be having with his parents, but he was also aware that they talked about everything, so...this shouldn't be different. Except it was horribly embarrassing. "No, she's a Ravenclaw, in my year, actually--"

"Padma!" Mackenzie let out, "Oh, I knew it, I'll have to talk to Naija at work tomorrow---"

"No, no, it's er--you remember Melinda, right? Bobbin?"

Sebastian let out a choking sound and managed to swallow his strawberry before killing himself. Mackenzie's excitement dropped almost instantly, and she turned back to her strawberries and pie--smacking Sebastian rather hard on the arm for the strawberry he had managed to take. Anthony didn't know what to think. A second ago his parents seemed delighted at the idea of him taking out a girl, and now--they'd never said anything about Melinda before, hell, Anthony wasn't even sure he'd mentioned her to them in his whole Hogwarts career!

"That's not a good family to get involved with, Ant," Sebastian noted, watching his wife carefully. Anthony found this statement utterly confusing, and found it easier to just walk back to his room. Maybe he'd ask Melinda about it.

leeeeeeeeee gasp! Hmmmm! I'm assuming it's before the Fidelius Charm went up, yah? In that case they'd have...well with how dark the Order is behaving now (I mean, framing 'innocent' people for murders IDK IDK) I think they would've turned over Peter for being a DE like GET THE FUCK OUT and stuff XD

But...I guess with the prophecy still being made, it still would've just been a matter of time until Voldemort tried to kill the Potters and Harry. Or he went after the Longbottoms, IDK! There's a whole big mess of things if Peter doesn't rat them out (HURR!), and who knows if Lily would've been able to give up her life for Harry (because Voldie would not have given James or the Longbottoms the same chance he did Lily) which would've created the protective magic and...yeah. Whole big mess of things there XD

He would've felt really awful though, and I mean, I'm assuming in James' canonly last second he's like "........fucking PETER!" you know? But he'd never really believe that his friends were the traitors, I think Remus just got the short end of a really stressful time and an overprotective Sirius being like SJGDNSJGNSG xD Sirius has been known to convince James of things XD
