Faith (HP drabble, Hermione/Draco, G)

Another snippet in a new fandom, for [livejournal.com profile] apreludetoanend's first line meme. :)

In case you missed the premise, the first line of this is hers. Only it used to say "Harris."

Faith

“Have a little faith, Harry.”

“Faith? In Malfoy? That’ll be the day.”

Hermione’s lips tighten. He looks away. He doesn’t want to think about Hermione’s lips, and where they have been. He still finds it hard to believe she isn’t under a spell.

She is, of course, though not a magical one. One woven in moonlight hair, steel eyes, and edges so sharp you bleed despite yourself.

“He can do it, Harry.”

“I know he can. The question is, will he? It’s his mother we’re talking about.”

The brush of her fingers is softer than a feather.

“I trust him.”

I so love you in drabble mode. This one is very cool! I love that you did HP!

I really love this:

And this:
The brush of her fingers is softer than a feather.
“I trust him.”


I'd have done this meme ages ago if I'd known it would produce all of these great drabbles!

You deserve much of the credit, for providing so many varied and inspiring lines! I'm so glad you did do this meme, and mentioned "fandom drift" - it's been really fun playing in various other sandboxes. I can't see myself staying in any of them, but I've enjoyed it.

I'm glad you liked Draco's description. I worried it was a little precious, overdramatic - but he's got that dramatic element going on. I thought it suited him. :)

This is really fabulous! Excellent character voices! I love the flow of this:
Hermione’s lips tighten. He looks away. He doesn’t want to think about Hermione’s lips, and where they have been.

This is a wonderful description:

The language in this drabble is really beautiful. AND you got me to read HP, more specifically Hermione/Draco - and I LOVE Hermione/Ron. *g*

Hee! I don't particularly 'ship anybody in HP, though I do in fact like Hermione/Ron and I was happy with the Harry/Ginny in book 6. I think if I did? I'd 'ship Harry/Draco, 'cos of the strong similarities with Xander and Spike. The only significant HP fic I've read was a post-series H/D that was extremely well written.

I'm really glad you liked Draco's description; I'd worried it was a trifle overdone, but I just... liked it. :) And yay, I'm so glad you thought I got the character voices down! It's been interesting trying out these new fandoms, in tiny little not-very-threatening snippets.
