Summary: A series of next gen oneshots focusing not on ships (though they may come into play as well), but the dynamic between the Weasley (and Potter) cousins. The first two or three will be using prompts from websites, or the fanfiction forum. After that, you, dear readers, will be able to give me either characters to write about, or a prompt for me to write.
Disclaimer: I am not JK Rowling. If I were, Neville and Luna would be canon, and Fred wouldn't have died. Neither would Tonks or Lupin. But I digress.
Prompt: A twinkling eye can mean many things. The one that is twinkling at me right now… (from writingforward . com)
Characters: Lucy, Dominique, Lorcan Scamander
"C'mon, Lou, what's the worst he could do?" Dom taunts as we walk into the library. I knew I shouldn't have trusted her enough to tell her about me fancying him. Cousins, as a general rule, are trustworthy until they have an opportunity to humiliate you. And, unfortunately for me, Dominique gets that opportunity a lot. So do Roxanne, James, Fred, and my older sister, of course.
I spot him a few seconds before she does. He's sitting quietly by himself, reading Hogwarts: A History for what must be the tenth time. Why couldn't he have stayed in the common room? Now my loudmouth cousin was going to-
"Oh, look! There's your boy now!" Dominique nearly shrieks as she whips around.
Bloody hell.
"Dominique," I say in a whisper, grabbing her arm. "You promised."
Now, I know as well as anyone that a twinkling can mean many things. The one twinkling at me right now meant that something very, very bad was about to happen. Well, it'd be embarrassing, at the very least.
"Dom." I say, raising my voice as she saunters off. "DOMINIQUE!" I nearly shout, earning me a reproachful look from the librarian.
I stand, transfixed in horror, unable to decide if I should bolt from the library or stay and watch the train wreck.
I watch as she walks , almost silently, up to Lorcan. She sits down across from him and starts whispering. He looks alarmed. I can't read lips, so I can't tell if that's a good thing or not.
Dom finishes her little spiel and starts laughing, tossing back her blonde hair. Oh god, he's coming this way. Oh god. What did she do?
He brushes past, a knowing little smirk on his face, and I swear I saw him wink.
I see Dominique give me the thumbs up and a huge grin from across the room.
Maybe cousins aren't so bad after all…
