Snippet

For Meryl, in return for the Marcus/Draco she wrote me. Terence/Oliver. ABBA.

It all started in Potions, as such things do. Snape seemed to take a sadistic pleasure in pairing up Gryffindors and Slytherin for particularly difficult assignments. At least this time, Oliver thought, he'd been paired with Higgs, and not with Flint like last time. That had been a disaster. At least Higgs was smart. Almost as smart as Percy, Oliver had to admit.

They were busy preparing the ingredients when Oliver suddenly noticed Higgs was humming a song. That in itself was surprising, but then he recognised the tune. When I Kissed The Teacher. He'd never thought anyone else at Hogwarts would be an ABBA fan, least of all a Slytherin. Almost subconsciously, he started humming along. Higgs looked up from cutting his Devil's Root, obviously surprised. Oliver grinned at him. Higgs grinned back.

They started doing Potions homework together after that. Terence was a lot more patient with him than Percy, Oliver thought. And Percy didn't like ABBA.

Terence gave him a copy of ABBA Gold after Christmas, and they ended up getting drunk and singing along to the songs in some abandoned room in the dungeons. After a particularly heartfelt rendition of The Way Old Friends Do, Oliver leaned over to Terence, whispered "Thanks for the CD," and kissed him.

There was really nothing better in the world, Oliver decided, than making love to Terence Higgs with ABBA playing in the background.

Anyone else want to exchange a drabble?

Aw, that was cute! And something finally came of that! And there weren't even sparkles involved; I was amazed.

So was I! And I still really have no desire to know why Ter was humming That Song during Potions.

I'm simply not going to ask.

Re:

Good plan. We'll just sit here and listen to ABBA and Not Ask.

Re:

[dramaturgy.livejournal.com]

All right.

*sits, listens to ABBA, tries not to ask*

Re:

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Ask or not ask! There is no try!

Call it a hunch, darling.

*SQUEEEEEAL* That was so fucking cute! I think I'm about to die of just pure cuteness overload. Did Fleur show you the log of Terence and Oliver where they kissed at Oliver's Quidditch match? It was SO FUCKING CUTE! We were squealing! And Marcus even said that Terence and Oliver could snog if they wanted to. *fans herself* Too bad Terence is fucking in love with [accent] Bulgarian Seeker [/accent] to take them up on it.

*SQUEALS LOUDER* Eeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

um.

.... Did you just say Terence was in love with Viktor?

Re: um.

[andrush.livejournal.com]

SHIT! I meant to say "lust". God dammit. lol

I hate Fridays. And I just sneezed and I've lost my mind. And my mother has no sympathy for me!

IN LUST!!!!!!!! not love.
Pah on love.

Re: um.

[asilvahalo.livejournal.com]

I thought we'd agreed on "like serious enough for portkeys."

Re: um.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Eh?

Re: um.

[andrush.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes. I mean. Um. Yes.

Goddamn, I need a drink. *holds her head*

Re: um.

[asilvahalo.livejournal.com]

*cries* They're very frustrating. Also, Viktor has to go see Emma today. And we have to finish RPing all the interesting stuff that happened last night. *snicker* And Viktor meets Terence's caaaaaaat! And eventually he'll fly that damn broom. He will. He just has to pry himself off of Terence for a moment....

Re:

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

No, she didn't! !!!! WANT! And dude, I SO never figured Marcus for the sharing kind.

[andrush.livejournal.com]

I know, right! Apparently he's really turned on by the thought of Terence and Oliver snogging. Don't ask why. It surprised Mireille and I, as well! O_O

Re:

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Well, really, can you BLAME him?

[asilvahalo.livejournal.com]

Viktor isn't.

[andrush.livejournal.com]

Which is why Terence isn't going to do it. :D
