Canape 4: The Perfect Pitch
“There's a bright, golden haze on the meadooooooow… There's a bright, gold—”
“It’s a bit early for chipper, don’t you think?” She sounded quite grumpy.
Harry paused while soaping his torso and thought about it.
Obviously, someone hadn’t had their tea yet.
“He bag production he got walrus gumboot—” he warbled, rinsing off.
“That’s disgusting.” He opened the shower curtain in time to see her pert nose wrinkle. “Walrus gumboot sounds like something Peeves throws at ickle Firsties.” She stood in front of the washbasin, applying mascara, her mouth forming a perfect oval.
The transformation from his Pansy to the public façade of Miss Parkinson was endlessly fascinating to Harry. And, if he had to admit, very arousing too.
He toweled off slowly, giving his girlfriend plenty of opportunity to watch the terry cloth glide over firm, muscled abs and pecs, drawing her attention to points south.
“If you want my body and you think I'm sexy… Come on, sugar, let me know—”
She stuck her tongue out at him in the mirror, but her eyes were hot. “That would be more persuasive if it were in key.”
Oh, really? He’d show her persuasive, then.
Draping the towel over the rack, he ambled to the vanity, putting on his glasses in order to shave.
“Pansy, Pansy, give me your answer do…”
She crossed her eyes at him and picked up her toothbrush.
“I'm half crazy all for the love of you…” he continued while lathering his chin. Her eyes turned soft as her mouth filled with foam.
“It won't be a stylish marriage… I can't afford a carriage…” His eyes met hers in the mirror and he almost laughed at the comical shock suffusing her expression.
“But you'll look sweet upon the sea—mmmph!” And shaving lather met toothpaste foam in a spectacularly bad-tasting but somehow very right-feeling crescendo that put other cheesy musical finales to shame.
A/N: Songs in order: “Oh, What a Beautiful Morning” Rodgers & Hammerstein; “Come Together” The Beatles; “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” Rod Stewart; “Daisy Bell” Harry Dacre.

Is that the same wagon wheel coffee table from When Harry Met Sally? mahwwhaahahah!
Harry has quite a package in that winning banner of yours. Congrats all around Id say!
The sentient bed? Clearly you can write well about anything!
At least he isn't too bitter about losing. He may even find some consolation prize...
Boys are better? Er... no! :P
This so beautifull. I envy your talent with words.
Sad, pokey! :)
Nothing... Yeah, right! :)

Sweet little miniature! :o)
Oh I think its something! I think Harry is lusting after Ron's girl! Wouldnt it be fun if Ron's name was Jesse? I know you'll get the 80 song reference.
I'm having a hard time imagining Ron with Pansy, as I'm sure Harry thinks too. He should do something about it. *grin*
Oh dear, poor Harry, or is that Harriet? :)
Harry Potter - heels - groping boobies - oh. my. gods. I'm laughing too hard to type properly! ROFLMAO
Needless to say, I enjoyed it immensely.
Men are too week to suffer being a woman. Wait before he gets pregnant or give birth. *grin*
Oh how you enjoying torturing Harry! I thought Pansy was hilarious in her not-really-sypathetic comments.
hearing the penny drop was fun. good stuff.

Response from mock_turtle (Reviewer)
oops. sorry, I'm muggleborn.
"attending the Snape-Trelawny nuptials" Not funny Pokey! Severus is not amused. However I would like to read more about the reaction of Pansy and Harry's engagement on the Malfoy's. Was it an unintended match? or not? Write on with your bad sef.
Response from pokeystar (Author of Canapes on Thursdays)
Severus can kiss my lily-white...oooo. you ebil woman. Call off the plot bunnahs or I'll load their carrots with LSD.Writin' writin' writin'.
Snape-Trelawney nuptials !! Erk. I don't want to think about the wedding night. *shivers*
Hermione should make a business of it.
Response from pokeystar (Author of Canapes on Thursdays)
She should!Except that her husband probably already has more money than Merlin.
LOL Harry's a master at seduction it seems.
LOL. He shouldn't give up his day job! :)
I love this one!
this is creepy. Have you read the YA novel "The Hollow Kingdom"?
Response from pokeystar (Author of Canapes on Thursdays)
No, but I love YA - the title sounds awesome.Repercussions might be a while - I can make no promises, other than, if she asks me, that's the one I ask for.:-)
Response from mock_turtle (Reviewer)
It's quite a good novel, and it's currently the first book in a three part series. I am fairly certain that is as long as the series is going to get, but you never know. anyway, what made me think of it is, there is this bit with knives, and faces, and the importance of beauty vs mutilation, and...yeah. it's actually in the second book. but it won't make sense unless you read the Hollow Kingdom first. The series is by Clare Dunkle, I think.
I'm afraid to understand what happened here. I hope I'm wrong.
Response from pokeystar (Author of Canapes on Thursdays)
Um, I won't tell you, so that you may maintain the illusion.(((hugs)))
That's one way of getting what you want...
Response from pokeystar (Author of Canapes on Thursdays)
