Drabble For JustPinkPastel's Muse

[teddy_radiator]

justpinkpastel is a loving, generous, gifted friend who constantly encourages me in every way. She is part cheerleader, part Greek chorus, part sounding board. This little drabble came to me yesterday, and I would like to dedicate it to her for her constant enthusiasm.

He watches, checking for any change in temperature, colour, consistency, flavour. He has patiently stirred, adding each ingredient in the right measurement, at the right time in the right order. Shimmering, simmering, rising to the boil.

 

Each twist of the wrist, each turn of the rod, is timed from years of practice; the brew is more powerful now than when he was a nervous, callow man, attempting this recipe for the first time.

 

She is heady as Amortentia, invigorating as Pepper-up and as perfect as Felix Felicis. Now he feels her, ready for him, potent; a tonic to be consumed.

I ALWAYS pretend it's ME in the story. Hermione... THAT little bint!....

I thought that was the POINT of SS/HG. We can all pretend to be young pretty girls being ravished by our older, sexy Potions professors. Honestly, girls, why do you think I WRITE fanfiction?

I am so glad to know I'm not the only one who replaces the character in the story with themselves. That makes me feel so much less of an obsessive.

I've even written MYSELF into stories with him. Why, yes... I AM shameless!

In MY fantasies, I'm always the one seducing HIM, rather than the other way around, LOL. I think that it's a control thing with me.
