A/N: Soo lately I've been on LiveJournal a whole lot more than being here, because I've picked up several challenges and ficexchanges, which have turned out to be lots of fun. Not to fear, I'll be posting them as soon as I can- I need to wait for some of them to end though.

This challenge from the community Romancing the Wizard called on each participant to claim a prompt set – consisting of five prompts – from a table. Then five 100-word drabbles had to be written based on them, each featuring a different het HP pairing, and all somehow tied together with a common summer theme. The drabbles were due five days after the challenge was issued.

It was a LOT of fun, and I loved writing under the conditions and time crunch. For any of you who love to write and be challenged, I definitely recommend getting a LJ account and joining some communities for it :) It's made my summer more fun lol.

My prompt set was: busy boulevard, tricky spell, red currant rum, touching, elation; and here's how I used them:

Elation – Harry/Ginny
Red currant rum – Dean/Luna
Tricky spell – Blaise/Hermione
Touching – Scorpius/Rose
Busy boulevard – Draco/Pansy --Won an Enchanted Quill for Most Memorable Romance Drabble! Yay :)
Theme: Weekend at the beach house

So without further adieu, read on! It's short, I promise. Five drabbles, exactly 100 words each. :) (at least, according to MS word... counts it wrong, I donno why... it was right for the challenge too.. hmm)

"Temporary" – Elation – Harry/Ginny

Harry stumbled in, a gust of wind spraying sand inside.

"I thought you had-"

"-a date? Didn't work out." He shook his head and fell onto the couch. "You know, I always thought we should be together."

Ginny's heart sped up, a smile gracing her features. Was this the moment she'd been waiting for?

She walked up to him but frowned. He reeked of firewhisky.

He turned to her. "I love… I…" he began before passing out.

She curled up in her armchair again and stared out at the turquoise waves, his oblivious snores confirming her need to give up.

A/N: I decided to approach the word elation a bit differently- the idea that elation may only last a short period of time...
