Gift Drabble for Gracelynn...
Original poster: ellie101
Drabble for: gracelynn who asked for "something with pumpkins in it"...
Title: The Traditionalist
Rating: G
The Staff of Hogwarts did everything with aplomb and to the very best of their skill. Brows were furrowed, and the only sounds heard were occasional wet plops reminiscent to the sound of intestine sloughing to the ground in Muggle Slasher-Movies.
Albus had them carving pumpkins for Halloween. While some had shot-down the idea with deadly acerbic distaste, everyone was nonetheless, gathered at the long table in Dumbledore's office and whittling away.
Minerva was making delicate strokes with her knife, a look of absolute feline concentration gracing her regal features. Fillius handled his pumpkin with the artistry and imagination of a master. Hagrid seemed to be sawing with his knife in a frenzy of zig-zags, while Severus, with the calm, detached-boredom of an unwilling perfectionist, slowly shaved off random bits with comical efficiency.
Only Albus seemed to be finished with his pumpkin, and quite pleased with it if his smile was any indication. They all looked when he turned it, and several tried to control their snickers.
Albus Dumbledore, the most powerful wizard alive, had carved three triangles for the eyes and nose, and a half-moon mouth with one tooth on bottom and one on top.
