Harry Potter Halloween

Gift for: The Community

From: starduchess

Title: A Solemn Samhain
Pairings: Severus/Harry, also James/Lily, Severus/Lily
Rating: PG
Summary: Severus and Harry have a different way of honouring the Samhain rites.
Notes: As I went through LJ setting up all the previous tags, I noticed there was not a single Snarry drabble anywhere. In six years. Seriously. Okay, there's sort of one, if you choose to read it that way. Honestly, go look! Anyway, so I wrote one for the community. Thanks for letting me participate!


( Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween and a Blessed Samhain!!! )

Everyone's gift should be up now! If you don't see yours, OMG PANIC - or let me know right away and I'll do the panicking. ~_^

For comments, be sure to check both IJ and LJ's HP_Halloween. Also, remember that you can click the "track this" button at the start of each post (it looks like a thumbtack) if you would like to receive the comments on your drabbles.

If you do a round of rec-ing, let us know here! Some of these drabbles just might qualify for a newsletter, you never know.

I think...no, I'm sure I could use a co-mod or even someone willing to take over for next year (although I would like to remain a mod on the communities, just in case). My birthday activities really eat up my time some years, and this was one of them. If you're interested and maybe have some experience at this, let me know at the mod e-mail address (hphmods at gmail).

( Walk of Shame )

Thank you all for participating this year. We ended up with 38 participants and 39 drabbles - an excellent showing by all! I hope you had a good time and a happy Halloween. May we all meet here again next year for some spooky fun!

love, lore
