Nothing is Certain Except
Canapes on Thursdays: Round Deux
Chapter 8 of 9
pokeystarA second series of small bites featuring Pansy Parkinson and Harry Potter.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!” Harry banged his head against the desk.
She didn't look up from her magazine. “What now?”
“These forms are incomprehensible! It's like they're translated from Gobbledegook. Backwards!”
“Gobbledegook to Latin to English. Sideways, actually.”
She was having him on. He'd bet his broom on it. “Riiiiiight.”
“Hermione was complaining about it at brunch Sunday. While you were off playing Quidditch with the gingers.”
Well. If Hermione said it... “You'd think dying to defeat a Dark Wizard would afford me certain liberties.”
Pansy rolled her eyes. “Stop whinging. Just finish the bloody taxes so we can play Hero and Groupie.”

Originally written for round two of pphp_ldws on Live Journal.
One of two drabbles for the grand finale.
Prompt: 100 words exactly, freestyle.
Title is paraphrased from a quote by Benjamin Franklin: "But in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes."

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.
