A/N: I found a Musical Shuffle challenge in the fic "Music with Fanfic In" which can be found at the following address, minus the spaces: http: fanfiction .net /s/6037115 /1/b Music_b_With_Fanfic_In . The challenge requires you to put your music player on Shuffle and write a drabble within the length of the song. You're supposed to post 10, but I did 29 of them, and will probably do more and post one per chapter. As per the chapter, the text of the drabble has not been edited after the period of the song, but I added an italicized line noting which character(s) the drabble features and the artist and album of the song. They are most certainly in no chronological order, and they may not even fit together in the same universe-some are more canonical than others. As always, the Harry Potter characters don't belong to me, although there are some OCs in here.

If I Don't Leave Right Now (walk away)

If I stay, then I will be subject to his fists once more, in a fit of drunken rage.

Had I married Abraxus, I would be subject to no such thing. I know him too well he does not drink.

But then, I did not think Tobias would be such an angry abusive husband, either.

And Severus, too, because he is magical, because he is intelligent, because he would rather use his head than his fists (who wouldn't with Tobias for a father-Toby uses his hands mostly to abuse his wife and son, those who he is supposed to PROTECT) or his hands-he only sees Toby beat. And so he is so different from Tobias, and yet so similar too, and he is most certainly a Mazzim. And a Prince. My lovely young half-blood prince. I suppose I won't leave.

Eileen Prince (Martina McBride, shine)


Eileen was the first person I thought of for the phrase "walk away", especially since the line "if I don't leave right now" occurs in the song. I just today found out that I've been spelling "Abraxas" with a u, but I think I shall leave him with a u. The Mazzims are a family in my fan-verse; I think you'll eventually learn more about them. And, the end was rushed, it's not exactly a great leave off point (or phrased in the best way). She has rejected her fancy of leaving because she notices similarities between her husband and her son.
