When Padma turned around one day, she found Dean Thomas gazing at her curiously.

"Yes?" she asked, rather politely, a bit surprised with the intensity of the stare and just a little bit disturbed as well.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't notice you were, ah--" Dean snapped out of his daze, shaking his head slightly and offering Padma a sheepish grin. "I was just..."

Padma raised an eyebrow and remained silent, watching Dean curiously as he gestured around with his fingers.

"Well, you looked deep in thought and I thought with the angle and your face half-turned, and well, yeah, you kind of, er. Well it's different from Parvati somehow, the angles and the bone structure and there's the way you carry yourself and, ah, I should stop rambling now, yeah?" Dean grinned in an embarrassed sort of way that made the corner of Padma's mouth curve ever so slightly up in amusement.

"I see," she nodded tentatively. Dean's face broke out in a relieved grin. "And?"

"You wouldn't mind if I drew you, would you?" Dean blurted out.

It was the first time Padma had been caught off-guard, and Dean thought she was even prettier when she blushed.

It was the way she flew.

It was the way she gripped onto the broom, small hands suddenly firm and strong. It was the way she leaned forward with focused almond-brown eyes, the way long black hair followed the wind behind her.

It enthralled her.

*

It was the way she flew yesterday.

It was the way her small, delicate hands trembled ever so slightly, and the way she held onto the broom not to direct it, but to cling to it. It was the stoop in her posture, the limpness in her tied down hair.

It almost broke her heart.

Title: Ten Minutes Later
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Padma/Justin
Length: 100 words
Rating: PG
Warnings: None
Summary: What happens ten minutes later.
Additional Notes: For ninotsjka_bloom, who requested Padma/Justin and purple.
Edit: For fanfic100, for the prompt Purple.

There was a fairly large purple bruise on Justin's eye when Padma walked into him in the library, and he shied away from her when she saw it. She sat down beside him and asked him what happened, but he wouldn't say even though they both knew that Padma knew, so Padma took out her wand and uttered a quick healing spell instead.

"You should be more careful," Padma said.

"I know. I'm sorry."

"There's nothing to be sorry about, I--"

"I should have asked."

"Yes, perhaps you should have."

"Padma?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you mind if I kiss you?"

( Also, inane, maybe petty rambling )

Title: Vases of Vanity
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Pansy/Ginny
Word Count: 100 words
Rating: PG
Additional Notes: Written for 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.
