This is my project for hopefully the next few months. I have the craziest ideas, but they're never nearly long enough for a full-length story (nor am I focused & patient enough). So I thought I should compile all my various ideas into sometimes-short, sometimes-long drabbles. I hope you enjoy!
"Muggles call it a cinema." Even the word seems to strike fear into Lily's heart, and she stares horrifiedly at the knowledgeable speaker. Rose stifles a smile at the expression on her cousin's face.
James scoffs and pushes ahead of them. "How can moving pictures be scary? It'll just be like watching a big photograph."
Rose shrugs and walks after him, leaving Lily, Louis, and Hugo to collect their courage. "I'll hold your hand if you get scared, Lil," Lou offers kindly. She smiles at him gratefully, and Hugo wonders if it would be awkward to request the same treatment.
"You're just all a bunch of scaredy Kneazles," James sniffs as they catch up to him at the counter. Rose rolls her eyes and hands over Muggle money to pay for their tickets, being the only one who ever learned the exchange.
"Theatre thirteen," the gum-chewing attendant says, smiling lasciviously at James. He shudders and hurries to catch up with the rest.
It took a lot to convince their parents (Uncle Ron especially) to let them come, and Lily decides she ought to suck it up and just watch this moving picture contraption.
two hours later
"Oh my goodness," Louis gasps as they stagger out of their seats, led by a completely calm Rose. "Did you see when the ghost-lady-"
Lily whitens. "Don't even start. I am going to have so many nightmares tonight."
Even James seems shaken. "Is that what Muggles think ghosts are like? If Nearly Headless Nick looked anything like that broad in the house I think I'd wet myself every time I sat down for dinner."
Rose looks thoughtful. "You know, I thought the main bloke looked rather like Uncle Harry.."
Liked it? Hated it? I want to hear what you thought of it! Leave me a review, and if you have an idea for a drabble, leave that too. I'll write just about anything, except for full on lemons because I'm terrible at those. But that does mean any generation and any canon pairing (except I might could do you a Neville/Luna). In case you didn't catch on, the group went to see Woman in Black ;)
