[HP drabble] Unexpected

[shimotsuki]

Now that I'm finished with my Meta project and certain evil work projects that shall not be named, I can start taking part in some of the other writing events that are going on around LJ these days. So I jumped on the wagon at day_by_drabble with this:

• Unexpected (380 words | G | post-DH AU, but not my usual one ;) )
  Al Potter has a very odd encounter with a stranger in a Muggle bookshop.

And for any woolly_mittens wondering why the heck I'm doing Potter drabbles and not Hot Chocolates, I have to admit the wonderful Hot Chocolates posted on the very first week terrified me with their amazing creativity. Ever since then, on the few weeks when I've even had time to think about writing one, I've been too intimidated. But I'd better start stepping up for my team, so I hereby pledge to break the ice and post a Hot Chocolate this week. Even if it's really stupid.

I'm not a Mitten and thereby should not be encouraging you ;P But there's no such thing as stupid when it comes to Hot Chocolates! Siriusly, have you read mine?? Just write something, see how it goes. I would never post anything at Pulped if I took other people's genius into account, but it does give me wibbles on occasion (like last weekend for example ;) I'm sure you'll do fine!

I still have your other post open in a tab because I've been meaning to come back and say something about that -- you said you were having qualms about posting last weekend, but I think you are so brave for posting at Pulped. Original stuff is so much scarier to me than fanfic...

I did manage some Hot Chocolates last year. Not sure why I'm so much more freaked out about it this time! ;)
