Feb. 3rd, 2003 09:59 amSo, answers to yesterday's 'puzzle'. You're all really damn good, and between the lot of you got most of the answers, but I'll put them all in here, for posterity's sake.
1) “Harry hadn't looked at all well, at lunch time, and thoughts of what might be bothering him were greatly bothering Hermione now.” - Arabella's "Not As A Last Resort"
2) `Want the last poppadom?' - Roche's can't-get-it-out-of-my-head "Set on Fire"
3) “The Astronomy classroom was seething with anticipation.” - Canis's "Waiting for Ganymede" *siiiiigh*
4) "Is Sirius missing ALL of dinner, then?" Peter mumbled through a mouth full of baked potato, eyeing Sirius' portion speculatively. - GrimSlasher's "Boys' Own Camping adventure" *takes off her hat and salutes* Way to go,
angua9!
5) “Sirius bounded forward on all fours, and fell onto his back, legs in the air.” - H&L's "The Unfini- I mean, Unknown Want" Hell, at least we've got some sexual resolution now. ;)
6) “Nobody was surprised by the announcement.” - Canis #2 - "Care and Feeding". Another *sigh*
7) “Snow whirled around the three boys as they tramped down the main street of Hogsmeade, their faces reddened by frigid blasts of wind.” - Canis #3 now - "Hang The Moon" - the cutest friggin' story. That was the best kid Sirius EVER.
8) “Admittedly, the last week of May had been wretched, with uniformly grey and sodden days. James had spent hours at the dormroom window, watching the early roses turn to wads of rotting petals.” - Anne's "Whom He May Devour" - very impressive, Roche, that was a trick one! Cause, you know, it's so damn long...heh. But should be finished. Like, NOW.
9) “I've been a bartender for a few years now.” - this one no one got. It was Roma's "Even Bartenders Can Learn", one of my all-time favorites. Too bad she isn't writing anymore...
10) “Sirius closed the door behind the last of the porters and turned to survey his room at the Leaky Cauldron.” - Roma's "Gifted" - fucking hell, haven't read it in a while, but now am all tingly to do so again. Gooood stuff...
11) “He changes into a man because he's aching for a cigarette.” - Canis #4 - "No Stray". Gets me every fucking time, right in the gut. And Sirius is sexy as hell.
12) ““Hedwig!” Harry grumbled irritably, flailing his arms about so as to make the owl who’d been pecking at his head disappear.” - Aha,
miraminx got that one, and I wouldn't have expected anything less. This was Cybele "Quill And Ink", the story that keeps on giving. Mmmmmm...
13) “Harry hesitated outside the dungeon door. I passed my NEWTs, he reminded himself firmly.” - Just re-read last night - Minx's "Till Break of Day". I love it more every time I read it. Oh, Harry... And, oh...hehehe...Snape.
14) “Severus Snape cursed softly over his frothing cauldron.” - This would, of course, be Firelocks's "Down From Tree: Actions". Fucking hell, but I was traumatized afterwards.
15) “Something pounded repeatedly against Sirius Black’s temple – something cold and hard and slightly damp.” - And, quite obviously, Arabella's "Down From Tree: Consequences". Yeah. "Absolution" was BADLY needed after this one. I don't think I slept very well after reading that story, I was too busy trying not to cry.
And that is all.
Off to class now. Goodie.
