What seems a lifetime ago, I used to write fanfic, mainly in the Harry Potter fandom. Unlike a number of folks I know, I remained below the radar and never gained a great following, which actually suits me fine. “Fame and fortune, that’s not for me!”

I’m cleaning out old files and found this drabble I wrote for one of the HP lists back then, got a giggle and thought I’d share.
