harrydraco:
I did like it! There are some grammatical errors, and Draco isn't IC (but I'm one to talk, I never write IC!Draco)
&
Yeah, I know...Draco is horribly OOC...I've never written him perfectly in character before, and I don't think I will anytime soon.
You know... (aside from the head-banging stupidity of this)... I think it's almost admirable that people would write even though they see some major component as being hopeless & impossible to achieve. Like... uh, yeah, that's nice 'cause you're aware of it at least (and I write even though I realize -my- Harry & Draco are certainly not perfectly IC either, of course).
It's just... on the other hand, the sheer casual acceptance seems... troubling?? Maybe I don't even know anymore. Fandom.
...Don't mind me, I'm drowning in manga (yeeeee, Komatta Toki Niwa Hoshi ni Kike! and super-duper-slow-building relationships & feisty!ukes) and sickeningly fine with missing TWH.

Date: 2008-01-20 06:33 pm (UTC)Malfoy sauntered up to him, though most of his attention remained on the box of chocolates he was picking through.
‘Package from your mum?’ Harry asked.
‘Obviously,’ said Malfoy. He chose a chocolate at last and popped it in his mouth. ‘With my father in Azkaban, his bank accounts transferred to her. She likes having control of the family finances, it suits her. These are from Paris.’
‘She sent you chocolates from France?’
Malfoy nodded. ‘Far better quality than Honeydukes, though I suppose you wouldn’t know any better, would you. Want one, Potter?’
Harry rolled his eyes. ‘Sure.’
‘Too bad.’ The smirk on Malfoy’s face was so smug Harry felt like knocking the whole box out of his hands. ‘I only give my sweets to those who deserve them.’
‘You’re such a prat, Malfoy,’ Harry said, annoyed despite himself.
Malfoy just stood there fishing through his chocolates. He took an exaggerated bite and made an unnecessary noise of appreciation. ‘So,’ he said, when he’d swallowed. ‘Word has it you haven’t got a date to Slughorn’s party.’
‘Don’t you have anything better to do than stand around eating chocolates and gossiping like a girl?’
Malfoy flushed but said, ‘You haven’t got one, have you? Perhaps you should try a bit harder, Potter, I’m sure someone would be willing to suffer your company. Moaning Myrtle, maybe . . . I hear that fat toad Eloise Midgen hasn’t got anybody to take her . . .’
‘Eloise is nice,’ Harry said automatically; to his recollection, he had never exchanged a word with this Eloise Midgen in his life.
I think I'm out of real snippets, haha.
