operatingroomHarry 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:

1/2 There's Something In The Water - Sirius/Petunia (pg)
Date: 2010-11-24 12:34 pm (UTC)---
Five days before her sister gets married, Petunia's Father in law dies. Naturally Vernon cannot - will not attend the wedding, or bonding, or whatever they call it in "their world", and Petunia is too frightened to attend alone.
(As always, she doesn't want to be the odd one out - ironic, being the only normal person at the wedding full of freaks)
---
She wasn't always so bitter when it came to her sister. For a long time, she wanted to be just like her sister, able to make flowers change colour or fly out of a swingset and not get hurt. But as she made it through her teenage years, and Lily became more and more confident in her skills and new personality, Petunia was left behind, scrabbling at what could have been and becoming twisted with jealousy.
---
She mets Vernon on the last day of 1973. Truth be told, she finds him rather pompous and maybe even ignorant, but he has plans and would be a Very Good Catch.
---
The first time she hears the name Sirius it is Christmas of 1973 and Lily has brought That Boy home for the holidays. They're dating, she says. In love, she whispers to their mother.
Their father loves him immediately, of course, as he delights them with tails of transfiguring furniture into animals and vanishing food and raiding kitchens with his best friend.
It's that night that she agrees - finally - to go on a date with Vernon Dursley.
---
And so, two days before Lily is due to marry James, Petunia gets in the car and drives over three hours to her sisters. Despite the bitterness and the fact that Lily left her - for that ridiculous school, Petunia can't help but love and and want to explain why she can't be at the wedding.
Not, of course, that at this point in time, she overly wants to miss the wedding. She thinks Vernon is over reacting. An hour out of his day, one hour, he can't even take that time out of his day --
Pressing her fingers to the bridge of her nose she takes a deep breath and knocks on the door.
