Written for Lady Eleanor Boleyn's 'Ten Deadly Sins' challenge at xoxLewrahxox's forum.
Prompt: write a drabble with a word count of an exact multiple of 100 -or at least, as close as possible - I don't mind if it's a few words under or over - dealing with a HP character (or characters) and one or more of the Seven Deadly Sins - Envy, Lust, Rage, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth and Pride.
This is pride
exactly 100 words
Draco fell off his broom gracelessly.
Thankfully, he wasn't so high that it injured anything beyond his pride. The girl that had distracted him was snickering behind her hands as she passed the pitch. No doubt she found his predicament amusing.
Marcus Flint landed heavily beside his teammate, making noises of annoyance.
He mumbled something like, "can't even stay on a fucking broom" under his breath as he proffered a hand to the boy who was spitting grass.
But with a sneer, he pushed the hand away and got up on his own. He was a proper Malfoy, after all.
Who is the dame that distracts dearest Draco? You make take her as whomever you please. (I shall take her to be Ginny.)
Thoughts?
