Owl to Tonks

Dear Dora,

It's getting harder and harder for me to sit here and do nothing when I have the worst feeling that I should be there, at home, with my friends and family. I know, I'm not really doing nothing. I mean, I'm doing what I came to do, training dragons. What I love to do. But I can't help but think there is so much more that I could do there.

Have you heard any news? We hear rumors all the time, about this terrible dark wizard who's going to change the wizarding world and make it more to his liking. I know what that means, it's that old crap about pureblood and such, the sort of nonsense that should have gone out with the Dark Ages.

I think I should come home, but I wanted to run it by you first, see what your thoughts are. You're my best friend, Dora, I know you'd tell me true.

Oh, a baby dragon was born today, it's the cutest thing you ever want to see. A Romanian Longhorn. It was so green it almost looked blue, but I know that will change in time.

When I do get back, you and me, we're going drinking, I promise it. It's been too long since we knocked back a few at the pub, or shared any fish and chips. I better get going, got stalls to muck out and such. Talk to you later.

Charlie

Who: Harry and Luna
What: Two friends meet by happenstance and Harry has a bit of a dilemma
Where: Diagon Alley
When: Afternoon (the year Luna's 18 and Harry's 19)
Warnings: probably none

Except for the colour of her very long and fair hair, which did create a rather nice effect with its various curls and crinkles cascading down her back, Luna Lovegood might not be especially distinguished from other witches. To be sure she was young and agile, walking with a light tread and sitting pretty at the small table in front of the ice cream parlour. But she wasn't the only young lady in Diagon Alley. Merely seeing her wouldn't inform a stranger of who she was, of her individual essence. Among magical folk, her deep purple robes and matching suede boots seemed not the least bit odd. Some did prefer black or browns but many also wore gem colours of all rainbow hues.

Luna finished her sentence and dotted a full stop on the parchment before she looked up from the table. She was having an ice cream cone when it occurred to her how to continue her most recent article for the paper. The young witch hadn't yet found an elusive crumple-horned snorkack though she discovered a new phenomenon. Something wonderful began happening to her after she left Hogwarts. Something which might worry others but she welcomed the experience of sometimes being removed from her time and location. She didn't know when it would happen though she had come to identify a certain warmth spreading through her as the warning signal. Trusting her own senses and instincts she knew what didn't happen: she wasn't dreaming nor had she lost her mind when she slipped into different times. Luna had seen her friends during events of just a few years ago or she had found herself in different countries. There was no portkey involved. Nor the Flue Network. Not even apparation.

She blew the gilded feathers of her quill gently as her pale blue eyes filled with thoughtful contemplation. That look vanished in a flash. Luna smiled and waved at someone she knew.

"Harry!" she greeted the wizard who walked on the other side of the alley.

the plot thickens

Who: Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny
What: going semi-public with the relationship
Where: a quiet corner of the Gryffindor Common Room
When: a few days after Harry and Hermione began dating
Warnings: none

Harry was nervous, but he tried not to show it. He took a deep breath before walking out of the boys' dormitory. Hermione was waiting for him in the common room, and he attempted to smile reassuringly at her. He wanted to take her hand but knew it was better not to at the moment. That was difficult for him - always having to hold back, keeping his feelings for her suppressed in front of everyone else. That was most of the time. The common room was usually packed with people, and of course, they were not allowed into each others' dormitories. It'll be a good thing to just go on and tell. Then we won't feel like we're always sneaking around, he told himself.

They had promised they would tell Ron and Ginny first, as they were the people most likely to be affected by the news; Harry had a bad feeling that Ron felt the same way as he did about Hermione, and it had been obvious for years that Ginny had a crush on Harry.

He walked in silence with Hermione over to where their two friends sat on armchairs across from each other. Ron and Ginny looked up at them curiously, but not suspiciously. That was a good sign.

Harry exchanged a brief look with Hermione before speaking, but thought he should take the initiative and speak first:

"Right. We know you're wondering why you're both here," he said, meeting eyes with Ron and Ginny, "and it's because Hermione and I have a bit of good news. Well, we hope you'll see it as good news, anyway. Er..."

He cleared his throat, fumbling for the best way to say it. Ginny raised her eyebrow and, seeming to realize what was going on, gave Hermione an odd look. Harry caught it and immediately felt a pang of guilt.

Well hellloooo, Clariiiice.

Who: Clarice and Hannibal
What: Hannibal sneaks into her house late at night, while Clarice is sound asleep...
Where: Clarice's house (I believe it's in Arlington, VA?)
When: Set in the Hannibal movie, the night before he is captured in D.C.
Warnings: Some language maybe, other than that, nothing... yet ;)

Clarice stood in her kitchen, dim from the scarce light of twilight, trying to decide which kind of whiskey she wanted to drink this evening. She settled for Ten High, the cheap stuff. Fuck it, she was just drinking to take her mind off things and hopefully sleep. She took a small whiskey glass out, shutting the cabinet with a slam. Just thinking the name Paul Krendler made her want to vomit.

She hated the thought of sitting at home, unable to do her job. This unjust suspension was not going to be easy, and she knew she had to play her cards carefully. But she was certainly still going to play, all right, FBI or not.

She carried her glass of whiskey with no ice into the living room and stretched out in the recliner, replaying the recorded dialogues with Lecter over and over in her head. Sometimes, they were all she could hear. Right now, she took them willingly as a distraction from the day's debacle. It did not take long for the whiskey to go straight to her head, causing her eyes to droop. Lecter's voice and his intense, blue eyes were the last things she thought about before she passed out, the empty glass still in her hand.

Who: Lily and Snape
What: Lily, diligently doing homework on a lovely afternoon outside, until...
Where: The grounds of Hogwarts
When: Marauder Era, unsure of which year. Let's just say her sixth.
Warnings: None

Lily was enjoying the uncommonly warm, sunny afternoon outside, reading over her History of Magic homework for mistakes. Some Gryffindor boys were engaging in horseplay around her and being quite loud, but she tried to ignore them. She was tired of them always being obnoxious to get her attention, especially the dark-haired boy with glasses - James Potter.

"Ten Galleons that I can get Evans here to go out on a date with me!" she heard him boast to his friends. Disgusted, she slammed her books shut and stood up.

"Don't bother trying! You might as well just pay up to your friends now!" she shouted back at him. Before they could get in any more jokes, she hastily walked away to find a quieter spot where she could do her homework. In the distance, she saw a thin boy with long, dark hair sitting under a tree, immersed in a book. Severus. He hadn't talked to her in so long; the last encounter she had had with him, he had called her a "Mudblood." She walked closer to him, slowing her pace as she was unsure of whether or not to say hello to him.

Mischief times two...

Who: Weasley Twins and all who want to join in.
What: Our favorite redheads are up to no good...
Where: The corridors of Hogwarts
When: During the rule of the evil Umbridge
Warnings: The Twins... that should say enough ;)

George's face almost split in two thinking about the fun to be had. Umbridge was making the castle feel like a prison instead of a school, people needed to lighten up, they needed fun and who best to give that to them as George and his great twin Fred!

He put his broom against the wall and started to pull boxes of dungbombs, fireworks and portable swamps out of his pockets. With a simple spell they returned to their proper sizes. He looked at his collection for a moment then turned to George, "so many tricks, so little time."
