Poor lost snippet
Jul. 22nd, 2005 07:32 pmDamn, I know I said I wasn't going to do this (post ficsnippets without their address), but I found a funny snippet of a fic whose name and URL I do not know. So I'm putting it out there just in case anybody else does know, and can pass it on to me. From vague memory, it wasn't terribly true to the characters, but it was very funny and well-written. Kind of like reading a story about many amusing people who just happen to have the same names as the folks in the Harry Potter books.

"But -- ah -- the thing is -- I know it couldn't have been Draco that did it because it happened at half past three, and Draco was definitely asleep in his bed at half past three this morning."
...
"I see," said Dumbledore gently. "And, if one might ask -- how exactly do you know this, Harry?"
"Because I was there. I mean -- it isn't what you think, I wasn't in bed with -- well, technically, but not because I was sleeping with -- I mean, I did fall asleep, but only because I was tired of waiting for -- no, that's coming out all wrong. I was in his bed, but I didn't touch him. Except when I had to. And I definitely didn't kiss him back." There was a horrified little pause, while Harry stared at Dumbledore, mentally replayed the last few sentences, and tried to will himself spontaneously invisible. "That came out all wrong," he repeated, sounding almost as appalled as he felt. It was probably a trick of the light, but for a moment Harry thought that the headmaster's mouth twitched.

Sound familiar to anybody?
