HARRY POTTER NON-CANON SHIPS COMMENT FICATHON




Banner by [livejournal.com profile] operatingroom

Harry Potter Non-Canon Ships Comment Ficathon


THE RULES ARE THUS:

1. WHAT MAKES A NON-CANON SHIP? Anything that is not at least one-sided in the books. This means that Snape/Lily is canon, even if she may (or may not) have ever reciprocated. Bellatrix/Voldemort is canon. Lavendar/Ron is canon. Obviously everyone who's married and/or dates is canon. OBHWF is canon, Harry/Cho is canon. Ships that are not stated as fact in the books are not canon. That means UC ships are good, slash is good, femslash is good. For our purposes, we are not counting JKR's interviews as canon. That means that if you wanted to prompt, say, who knows, Hannah/Neville, you could, because it's not in the text itself.

2. You leave a comment with a pairing and a prompt. You respond to prompts that you like. Your prompt must pertain to a non-canon ship. You may specify a character within that ship if you want the fic written from that characters perspective. You may also specify a timeline if you'd like, or if you want it to take place in the movie!verse.

3. When writing fic, put in your title SHIP - TITLE OF FIC (rating optional). This will help us archive if we later archive things. I don't have time to archive anything right now, but if someone wants to volunteer, we can make that happen.

4. LEAVE FEEDBACK. Comments are the lifeblood of the internet.

5. NO WANK. I'll delete your ass. And we're dealing with ships and I am deletion happy, so watch yourself.

6. There will be spoilers for the movie all over this post, I am sure. You have been warned.

7. Promote this if you please. You can use this code:

In the image code box, you can use any of the banners below or the lead banner at the top of the post.

Harry/Hermione- "Maybe It Isn't"

[identity profile] 10millionpeople.livejournal.com 2010-12-07 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
(A/N- This is based on the movie more than the book... but I did change some things. And in the post above you're using my icon :D yay! And I have to ask is that quote from a song? Because it's absolutely gorgeous!)

He left them. Just then and there, he up and left the tent, and she is left with a broken, shattered porcelain heart still beating ferociously as if some unknown force is keeping her alive.

(Maybe it is.)

She knows he wasn't in his right mind; it was the locket, she tells herself. It made him leave. But inside, she knows that she and Harry had been expecting this all along.

Of course, the three of them had gotten along all too well together thus far to have a flawless hunt afoot. But she always thought it would be her creating the flames, striking the match- not the ginger red head which with Harry seemed inseperable. Thinking back, she wonders if it was really her and Harry all along. If it's still her and Harry.

(Maybe it is.)

So sitting there, on the steps, watching Harry watch her and pretending not to see, she couldn't help but blow off a lot of the sadness that seemed to drift over her head after his departure.

The radio is on. She never realized it before, but now it's there and it's blasting in her ear, and she wants so bad for it to just stop but she loves this song and can't help but humm along and hope no one hears her. But seriously. Who would hear her?

One look up and she gets her answer. "Hermione, would you... would you like to dance?" And it's all Harry needs to say.

She grins for the first time in seemingly forever, and his face brightens with just the look of her even slightly happy. This makes her giggle. She'd like to think it was good to hear.

(Maybe it is.)

So taking her hands, he starts moving his waist side to side, and she lets their joined hands flop around in the air as they smile and laugh and dance with such innocence it makes her want to swoon and weep all at the same time. And if Harry wasn't currently spinning her under his arm, she might have.

After her twirl, it's his turn- and his gracelessness shines through his spin and makes her laugh all the more. Silently, she sends Ron a thank you.

She doesn't know if he hears it.

He sighs and the song ends, and Harry pulls Hermione into a bone-crushing hug and all of a sudden she has the overwhelming urge to cry again. Her head on his chest, his lips quickly kissing her forehead, is so sweet and so familiar that she wishes they could just stay here forever and grow old. (This, she muses, she will tell him later.)

He speaks into her hair, and she wonders if it's more for himself to hear than her. "I love you, you know? It's..." He laughs. "I don't know. I just love you." She can feel his smile through her skull like she can hear his cries half a world away. For a few moments (longer than a few moments) her sadness leaves and is replaced with an immense and powerful feeling, and she lets it fill her up and surge through her being.

It's only the heat of the moment, she thinks, but feels uncertain as another song starts to play and Harry pulls her back into a dance, grinning madly as she finds herself mirroring that reaction and he dips her, never letting go of her as she never lets go of that feeling. It's only the heat of the moment...

(And maybe it isn't.)

I adore this line:

For a few moments (longer than a few moments) her sadness leaves and is replaced with an immense and powerful feeling, and she lets it fill her up and surge through her being.

I love the description of the feeling there so much more than just trying to assign a name to the feeling. The heart bursting feeling.
