[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.

Not to worry -- I've felt nothing but support and encouragement from you and EQ this whole time. :) Friendly encouragement for points is part of the fun! And it's a lot of work being a team leader -- that's really appreciated.

I'm quite possibly still sort of reacting to some dynamics I felt in my team last year (which I think I can safely say here in vague terms because nobody on my actual f-list was involved).

I'm really behind on reviews -- haven't even started on the Sense of Advent-ure posts yet -- but thanks for the sweet comments. I do feel reviews are important, and if I'm taking part in an event it seems only fair to try to give at least somewhat thoughtful comments to at least some of the other participants... (And I'm with you that it's especially fun to read things by people whose work I got to know a bit last year.)

And now I'll take your hopeful remark that people might be looking for something different, and go take another look at this week's Hot Chocolate prompt. ;) WOOLLY!
