Snippet

[bubosquared]

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?

Re: um.

You want to marry me and yet, you still push me on Viktor?
Is there something you aren't telling me, dear?

Re: um.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

What? Just cause you're married to me doesn't mean I can't want to watch you snog blokes?

Re: um.

[viktorkrum.livejournal.com]

She is a strange and Belgian woman. I am hearing stories about her. You should not be marrying her.

Re: um.

[terencehiggs.livejournal.com]

... I don't think so either.

Re: um.

[viktorkrum.livejournal.com]

We are agreeing!

Re: um.

[terencehiggs.livejournal.com]

Well, would you look at that. We are agreeing, aren't we?

Re: um.

[dramaturgy.livejournal.com]

This is only what I've been saying, like, all along.

Re: um.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Hey! Bitch! Get back here!

Re: um.

[terencehiggs.livejournal.com]

But... Viktor thinks I shouldn't marry you. And well, I don't think I should either. I mean, I wouldn't want to cheat on you with other men. And well.

Re: um.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

But the whole point of marrying you would be so I an watch you cheat on me with other men.

Re: um.

[viktorkrum.livejournal.com]

You are very strange.

Re: um.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

You're only noticing this now?

Re: um.

[viktorkrum.livejournal.com]

Perhaps I was noticing before. But I was nothing thinking I should be saying anything.

Re: um.

[terencehiggs.livejournal.com]

But Viktor said I.... Sigh. Oh, alright. I can't bloody win.

Re: um.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

No, you can't. Just smile and say "I do."

Re: um.

[terencehiggs.livejournal.com]

But-but-but...

Re: um.

[viktorkrum.livejournal.com]

Strange pretty lady! You do not have to marry Terence! We, um, we could be letting you watch without the marriage, yes? Or cameras? Would you like to be having cameras?

Re: um.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Hm, when you put it that way, perhaps you have a point. cameras, yes. I am liking you, I am!

Re: um.

[terencehiggs.livejournal.com]

Viktor, shouldn't I at least be consulted in this... seeing as how I am the other part of the equation?
Although, you do know I like it when you assert yourself.

So... ah..erm... Assert away.

Re: um.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Espcecially Viktor.

Re: um.

[viktorkrum.livejournal.com]

Very strange.

Re: um.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Little Bulgarian boys should know better than to piss off the Belgian Mafia.
