This story was supposed to have been a cute little Snape/Harry birthday story for beledibabe. But her birthday came and went, and the story became...well, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't call it "cute." It's still for C, however.

So...mugglenet.com is reporting that according to "someone in a position to know," Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is going to be released ( not much of a spoiler ). Ordinarily, I don't pay much attention to any rumors, even about publication dates, but mugglenet generally has some pretty decent spies at its disposal.

Of course, seeing this brings back all my anxieties about what's going to happen in the sixth book (read as "who's going to be bumped off in the sixth book"). I'm not one of those people who is able to willfully ignore canon, regardless of how distressing it might be (note: if/when Snape meets his end in book 6/7, I'd appreciate it if nobody reminds me I said this, because I'll be re-writing canon so fast, it'll make the collective [severed] heads of Highlander's Clan Denial spin), but every so often - in my more "can't distinguish fantasy from reality" moments - I think, "You know, I'll bet the characters are even more worried than I am." After all, JKR has said ( even less of a spoiler ).

But what if all the characters got together and just said...no. After all, Rowling hasn't finished writing the last two books yet; surely those Fictional Character Self-Preservation Instincts (tm) must be kicking into high gear right about now...

( J.K. Rowling walked along the main corridor of Hogwart School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, her footsteps echoing in the empty halls. )

I was thinking about birthdays and time and all that this morning, and somehow, this appeared out of nowhere. Like magic. I haven't even re-read the thing (I'll do so after I finish teaching). Justacat? If it isn't the stupidest thing ever, consider it your birthday present. If it is the stupidest thing ever, well...accept my hearty best wishes instead. :)

So...at supersonic speed - and in honor of both trixiesfic's birthday and The Grint's stoner hairdo - I came up with this: Unadulterated silliness / Trio (but not smut)
