page seven -- tag, you're it!

[traintracks]

I was tagged by crystalusagi!

Go to page 7 of the current manuscript and copy and paste a few paragraphs, then tag 7 authors to do the same. This can either be original fiction or fanfiction.

I'm tagging: birdsofshore, elrhiarhodan, firethesound, kedavranox, marianna_merlo, notearchiver, and writcraft!

Now that I'm looking at my page 7, I'm LMAO, because it might literally be the only page in this whole story with no sex on it!



"Is that…Claudette?" he asks. "Are you people mad?"

Now Harry smiles. "Just watch."

Teddy stands in the middle of the valley, no cover within a hundred meters in any direction while the rest of us shelter behind shields just inside the trees. The dragon folds back her wings and dives for him, her jaws opening. Teddy opens his arms, not passively but ready for something like a bar brawl. It's not even something I would attempt, and Claudette just almost doesn't hate me. My hand goes to my wand as a reflex. I doubt I could get a good spell off in time. Harry could, but his hand is nowhere near his wand.

"Harry…" I start when I feel sure she's going to roast him.

"Wait."

I let the comment go and file it away under 'Punish Later'. I'm too raptly invested in what's happening on the field.

Claudette lets fly a huge fireball, but the shield I wasn't even aware was still there, deflects it easily. Everyone gasps. And as Claudette passes, I see her tail whip back behind her and come slashing down in a fast arc.

This time Teddy doesn't even try to shield. His hands are ready, though, and as the tail aims for his midsection, he jumps, landing on it instead and holding on tight. The crowd erupts in cheering as both dragon and wizard soar over their heads, disappearing over the tree tops, Claudette roaring bitterly as she flies away.

Ah, hell. I hadn't thought of the anon fest issue. Obviously, my own isn't for anything. Or maybe not so obviously.

I feel like all I've done is made you feel bad that you have no page 7, dammit. <3

Man. I suck. LOL.

Thank you for the support of my adverb!!!! We must unite and stay strong. And do so unwaveringly, courageously, proudly. ;-) ;-)

I'm with you unhesitatingly, staunchly, cheekily, defiantly. :D In fact, 'defiantly' was an actual adverb removed recently by my lovely and longt-suffering beta, which I defiantly replaced as soon as she looked the other way ;-)

I didn't need any help feeling bad about my missing pages, don't worry! It was sweet of you to think of my miserable, barren self ;-)

And LOL about defiantly re-adding defiantly!
