sharing the snickers

More snips from the fic I linked to the other day (The Quality of Mercy):

"You can't blame yourself for being affected so badly," Harry told him sympathetically. "It's not your fault. It's probably just because you're shallow."

***
"I don't recall that you ever cared if something was allowed," she said, smiling.

"I don't recall that making Polyjuice Potion when we were twelve was my idea."

***
Charlie had his wandtip against Malfoy's shut eyes and his hand on the back of his neck again.

"What game are you playing?" Harry demanded.

Ginny gave him an odd look. "Blind Man's Buff."

"Wouldn't it be better to put a scarf over his eyes?"

Ginny's look clearly said that Harry was very odd indeed. "Why? It's called Blind Man, not Peeking Under His Scarf Because He's a Dirty Cheater's Buff. God, it's not permanent! Is the scarves how Muggles play? Weird! You should tell Dad when he gets back."

From his love shack with Mollywobbles, Harry thought, and wished his brain would die.

***
"Well, I would've been envied by hundreds of women," Pansy mused. "Also, I could've sold the story to the Daily Prophet. Wonder what it would've been called?"

"How the Boy Who Lived Loves," Malfoy suggested. "How the Chosen One Gave Me One."

***
"I dream of her ruddy locks," Malfoy went on gravely. "Also other things. She is the other half of me. Every night I whisper yearningly into my pillow the words 'Girl Weasley...'"

That last one is beautiful. Mostly because, much as I love the D/G ship in ways that are not connected with sanity, one more 'Draco worships Ginny from afar and starts spouting poetry and wishing he was a Gryffindor' fic and I'm going to crank up the chainsaw and start taking apart large swathes of the internet. ...Assuming I can buy an ecologically friendly chainsaw. ;)

I understand from the reports of others that the various Draco ships have their own variations on the theme, but I'm not budging from my fandom to go find out. There's enough to entertain and irritate me in my small corner of the world. :)) And I'm slowly training the teenies to realize that I will forever be a lot better at being a bitch than they could possibly hope to be.
