X-posted challenge fic
I'm posting my entry for the hogwartsrejects Giant Squid drabble challenge.Woot Ravenclare!Title: The Land of Mer-SuesWarnings: longer than 100 words, sarcasm, and on-purpose OOC-nessHarry had a perplexed look on his face when Draco kicked him out of his jade silk-sheeted canopy bed the next morning. "That's the last time I go to a Halloween Ball transfigured into a girl! Ugh," he snarled and wiped the black eyeliner off his pale lids. Harry gathered up his clothes and stormed away, murmuring something about 'Should have known better..' When he was gone, Draco sighed and swooned like the secret nancy boy he is, thinking "I can still smell him on me..." Deciding that this bittersweet reminder was no good, he rushed down to the lake to wash off Potter-pheromones.Draco jumped in and let his body sink downward, looking around the murky green water nervously for signs of a giant squid. Suddenly, a pair of glowing violet eyes greeted him instead. They were attached to a pretty face with volumes of black red-highlighted hair drifting in the water, and furthermore to a young girl whose bottom half had gone all fishy. Sparkly purple scales at that.The mermaid pulled a startled, flailing Draco above water and giggled at him. "Hello," she beamed at Draco.Draco furrowed his brow skeptically. "I thought merpeople were supposed to be green and ugly," he said."You don't know me, but I'm Harry Potter's long lost mer-sister, Nepenthe," she said.Draco screamed and fled the lake as fast as he could, running through the grounds wet and starkers. Harry was everywhere; there was no escape. He would just have to resign to his fate, he decided. It was time to denounce his Malfoy heritage and join the Order as a spy.

Draco sighed and swooned like the secret nancy boy he is I think I want that on a t-shirt.
That sounds like a fine marketing idea to me... *plotting*
HEE! This is totally cute and hilarious. ;)
Gracias. and btw (teehee!) I love your userinfo descrip a la Buffybot.
heh, thanks! :D The Buffy fandom is so much smaller now that the show's over, so people don't comment on it much these days.Your shirtless lady pirate is pretty fuckin' sweet.
You asked for it, and the wheels started to turn.*rusty creaking wheel-turning sound*I opened a cafepress store. You can buy my swag!
*dies laughing*Sooo funny!
Is it bad that I love the idea of one of the two (Harry and Draco) thinking the other is a girl, even in a funny little drabble?Because even though it's meant to be silly, it's still very cute. Best of both worlds, I suppose. :)
Hullo RPMel! Fellow Ravenclare here. What is the name of your cafepress store? I'd love to check it out. The link just takes me to a sign in page.
Oh no! I can't believe I messed up the link.Here's the real one:Come visit my store on CafePress!You can get either of the designs on any shirt, just let me know and I'll hook it up for you. Shop ahoy :)
Aww. Poignant, and pretty.
oh yes and...W00t Ravenclare! Twenty points to Ravenclare if you buy my shirt.hehe.
Thanks! :D
I may love the ladies, but I love your icon too. It's so... original in this fandom. :)
Well, thank you! It has more to do with my advanced age than anything else, really. The boys are cute, interesting in a "bug under glass" sort of a way, but at the end of the day it's the men that I want. ;) BTW-Would you mind if I added you to my friends list? I like your style.
:) I don't mind at all! Friend away - and I'll probably friend you back.Have to identify with you there - I'm only pushing 30 but I've already outgrown the young-girl thing. It just seems icky now.
Nothing bad about it!! Gender mix-ups can only lead to fun, sexiness and amusement in my opinion.Thanks for reading. ;)
You've been friended. *squee*
Well, call me immature but this line just cracks me up: Draco screamed and fled the lake as fast as he could, running through the grounds wet and starkers. ...methinks it's the 'starkers'... ~_^No, seriously, I like it! dmicah
