A/N: So I may or may not have accepted The If You Dare Challenge for Harry Potter... And as you have probably seen from The Engagement Experiment, one-shots aren't really my specialty. I think the stuff that I write is called 'drabbles'? Please correct me if I'm wrong! But here is my attempt at the first prompt...
Glacier
I'm falling.
Falling.
Not flying.
Falling.
Curse that Victor Krum! Who was he to ask Hermione Granger to the Yule Ball, anyway? She's Malfoy's girl! Is. She could still be mine. Possibly. I just need to stop insulting her. And making fun of her appearance. And calling her a mudblood. That might help.
Why am I blaming myself?It's not my fault! It's Krum's! All his! Curse him!
Actually, I think that's what got me here in the first place. We were duelling for Hermione, and trying to show that I am the higher calibre of wizard. Then I remembered something. Krum is a 17 year old man. I'm just a 14 year old boy. I was no match for him. Or was I?
I wasn't.
Whilst in my reverie, Krum hit me with a Jelly Legs Jinx, and for the life of me, I couldn't remember the counter curse! So whilst I was wobbling around on a glacier, I slipped, right off the end, dropping my wand before I fell.
But it wasn't my fault!
Things are never my fault! Krum wasn't duelling fairly! And Father should never have transfered me to Durmstrang anyway!
SPLASH!
I woke up. Mother was above me, her wand drawn. I was absolutely soaked, whether by my own urine or water, I wasn't sure. To be perfectly honest, I wasn't sure I wanted to find out. Mother asked me if I was alright, as I had been muttering in my sleep. I couldn't be bothered to give her a reply, and swatted her away instead. When she eventually left, I thought about what Hermione would do if she saw me. I thought nothing more of it, and her face flashed before me one last time, before I fell back into a deep sleep.
A/N: So what do you think? One Shots/Drabbles aren't really my speciality. How do you think I should improve? I don't know when I will next update, as I am not sure what to do for the next prompt. But please tell me how to improve! xxxx Doodley Starkid
