Drabble: Vases of Vanity, Pansy/Ginny, PG

Title: Vases of Vanity
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Pansy/Ginny
Word Count: 100 words
Rating: PG
Additional Notes: Written for [livejournal.com profile] fallenravie, who requested Pansy/Ginny with the prompt "See yourself through flowers in a jar".

She turns her face at different angles, examines her make-up, and nods at herself in the mirror.

"Ready for the Ball?"

"In a while," she calls out, and steps out in elegant robes.

She is beautiful.

*


She tucks pale freckled arms into his, blushes at compliments, and hears them whisper, 'she's so lucky'.

"Have I introduced you to--"

"Pleased to meet you," she says, smiling amidst envious awe.

She is sweet.

*


Later they are alone-- her make-up is smudged, her smile is gone. She isn't beautiful with lonely tears, and her desperate kisses aren't sweet.

It's not what matters.

Ahaha, Evy, what are the chances? XD

I just read this and was thinking how lovely it is to have a good fic to read when I'm so angry at bad!fic, and it's by you of all people. Who I'm currently ranting at.



This was really really pretty. Makes me glad to be part of [livejournal.com profile] hp_girlslash, if only because finding a diamond in the rough is such a satisfying thing. Gorgeous. <3

Oh wow, sad, aching and beautiful use of short senteces to describe a total athmosphere. The images I saw reading this really inspired me.., (you might get fanart)
