Ficlet: Botany or Anatomy? (Dramione PG)

The results are in from this round at dramione_ldws, and I managed to pull third place overall from 24 original competitors. This makes me happy. :)

We needed to write two drabbles this week, one with the inspiration of It's a Wonderful Life, exactly 250 words, Draco's POV, and involving gratitude. This is what I came up with (including a major nod to Mary getting stuck in the hydrangea bushes on the way home from Bedford Falls High School graduation dance, a scene that always kinds of stuns me with how shocking it was for the time period).

Ficlet: A Little Romance (Dramione G)

This would be the other final drabble I wrote for dramione_ldws, and I have a confession to make. I messed up.

The requirements for this one were we had to use a piece of dialogue from a movie and title the drabble with the name of that film, and the length had to be between 100 and 599 words. For some bizarre reason, I thought the top number was 499, so that was the total number of words in the drabble I submitted. I was kicking myself up one side and down the other when I realized the mistake I'd made when the drabbles went up for voting, especially since I liked the drabble a lot better with some of the bits in that I cut out.

Happily, I saved all my drafts, and here's the version that came in at 607 words. And for the record, A Little Romance is a really delightful movie that I don't think gets seen anywhere near enough for how sweet it is.
