Silver Lining
Canapes on Thursdays: Round Deux
Chapter 3 of 9
pokeystarA second series of small bites featuring Pansy Parkinson and Harry Potter.
Day One
Raining.
Harry watched raindrops roll down the window of their hotel room and sighed. “I thought it was sunny in Mazatlan.”
Pansy snorted, tossing the guidebook she’d consulted at him. “Summers are primary rainy season for this region.”
“Maybe that’s why the package was so cheap, eh?”
He’s a great kisser… No hovering mother-in-law… He spoils me rotten…
***
Day Three
Raining, again.
“If I were a superhero, I’d have the power of sarcasm. Mere mortals would quail before me, with my words sharper than a Sectumsempra.”
“And that would be different, how?” Harry’s smile was indulgent.
“I would have a costume. A black leather catsuit with a bright red S, to match my lipstick.” Pansy’s eyes narrowed when she heard a muffled snort. “They’ll call me Sarcwoman and signal me by projecting a pair of rolling eyes into the sky.”
“I’ll be your sidekick, Scarboy. I will sense incidents of stupidity for you to mock.” She nodded, mollified. “But I want a cape.”
“No capes.”
***
Day Six
Still raining.
They packed in near silence.
“My new sunglasses!” Harry exclaimed, modeling them for his bride. “I didn’t get to wear them.”
Every cloud has a silver lining, Pansy thought, giving the grey sky a grateful look.

Can I play hero and Groupie, too (better with Severus or Lucius but I won't mind if it's Harry)
Very nice. I like how he makes her laugh.
Well, I'm sure with a bit of effort and the HUGE talent that he has (*snicker*) he should be able to convinve her not to publish the story...
Heroes and groupies sounds like great fun.
Loving these tempting mis-en-bouche morsels.
Ah, but the fox gets the grapes in the end, doesn't she?
No capes? Every self respecting super hero has a cape.
Harry's in trouble. He's met his match here
Err I'm not sure I understand what Ron in a thong has to do with Hermione's and Draco's (engagement) party?
Anyway, I like it all the same.
Maybe if she tried to just be herself without any of her usual tricks he may be more interested.
Nice turn of events!
It's so sad. I feel for him, them. Because she must be as devatated.
Well, I suppose they found a way to avoid getting bored by the rain... *wink*
Does that mean Harry like it raw? I've never imagined him to be like that.
