Writing Challenge 37 - The Daddy Challenge.
There are so many great father figures in Harry Potter; Lucius Malfoy, Arthur Weasley, Lucius Malfoy, James Potter, Lucius Malfoy, Ted Tonks... Did I mention Lucius Malfoy? There are even some nasty ones! Yes I'm looking at you Marvolo Gaunt. So I want you to pick one (or more!) and let your imagination run free! Loving their own son/daughter, looking at how their father influenced them, judging someone elses parenting skills or a little domestic scene. Whether it's a sweet little father/son moment, or some shameful DILFing (I did mention Lucius Malfoy didn't I?) I want you to write a fic of a multiple of 100 words based around a Daddy.
Enjoy!
The Portrait
Blaise Zabini
There's a portrait of my Daddy over our mantelpiece. Painted on his wedding day. My Mama stands beside him, happy as I've ever seen her. It's an odd portrait. It doesn't move.
"Portraits are normally painted after someone is dead Bambino," Mama murmurs. "If they're not, then they won't move." And she smiles. An odd smile that's happy and sad at the same time. "Not many people have a portrait painted on their wedding day. It's odd."
It is odd. Odd is special Mama says.
But now my Daddy is dead. So why is he still frozen over our fire?
Well?
