A House Full of Gingers

by writergal24

"Family is fighting. Family is forgiving. Family is making up. Family is being there not only after the battle, but during it, too." A series of 100-word, pretty random oneshots about the nextgen Potter/Weasley/Lupin/(Malfoy) family, dealing with issues from love to babies to death. Ch121:Molly's love life.

49. Chapter 49

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter because I could never outline/plan a book for more than five years. I'd get bored and just start writing it and then, obviously, I wouldn't have the insane inter-book conncections that JKR gave us.

In honor of Leap Day (even though it was yesterday...)

They say you should look before you leap.

Sure, Rose thought. But maybe Leap Day's an exception to that rule.

Because Rose was sick of it. She was sick of waiting around for him to make the first move. She was sick of being the smart best friend. She wanted more.

She'd felt this for a long time. She just couldn't take it anymore.

So she did it.

She walked into the common room and saw him sitting on the couch.

Rose went over and she kissed him.

Scorpius never saw it coming.

Maybe that's the magic of Leap Day.

I was going to put up one of the oneshots I'd already written, but I needed to write this story, so... I apologize to those who have requested oneshots that I've yet to put up.

ALRIGHT. THIS IS 49!

So, first of all, we have the announcement I've already made: I will be writing a long oneshot/short multichapter fic based on one of these oneshots. It's up to all of you to pick your favorite three. Pick ones that you feel there was a backstory to, or just ones that didn't fit into the 100 word limit.

Secondly... now, I'm not sure how well this would work, but... I want each of you to give me a word. It could be ANY word. It could be "the" if you wanted. So, give me this word, and I will include every single word in Chapter 50, which will still be 100 words. (So hopefully I don't get more than 100 reviews xD like that would happen)

You have one week. That's next Thursday, March 8th (or another day if you guys live in different time zones or on other planets where the days are different...?) Next Thursday I will take the results and I will write chapter 50 and the story that weekend. If you have any questions about ANYTHING (like if you don't know what pi day is...), PM me.

So... go! I'll talk to you all next week... :)

PS - if you're bored (even though I said I would never do this...), keep an eye on my profile. I'll be posting some other oneshots this week, possibly even tonight.

PPS - this week has gotten increasingly better as you can probably tell by my excessive use of sarcasm in this chapter. Sorry.
