Ever stopped to think about the characters, forced to do all those horrendous fanfics?

OK, I don't know what happened to this chapter the first time, but half the stuff in the middle was chopped out. Maybe that was my clumsy editing, maybe a bug, I don't know. So here's the full version.

Consider the Characters

Chapter 2 -Not Good. Bad.

It was breakfast at the Slytherin table.

Draco put down his fork as he felt a tap on his shoulder.

"Today's fic scripts," said Blaise, pushing a scroll into his hand. Draco slit it open and read the first line.

"Uh oh."

"What is it Draco?" simpered Pansy, who was sat on his other side.

"I have to do an R-rated slash."

"Aw you poor thing. Who with?"

Draco ignored the question and began to read the scroll. His apprehensive expression changed to one of confusion, then shock, then disgust. Pansy watched as his eyes moved down the parchment, his face steadily turning greener and greener until he suddenly yelped

"Then I do WHAT!"

A cold voice behind him made Draco jump.

"Don't yell, Draco. And you had better hurry up with you breakfast or you will be late for your fic."

Draco's eyes widened in horror as he turned and saw the hooked nose and greasy hair of Professor Snape. With a strangled yell he leapt up out of his chair and sprinted away from the potions master, out of the Great Hall.

"Strange," Snape muttered to himself "I didn't think our fic was that bad."


Snape/Draco. Enough said.
