HP drabble - Snape/McGonagall

I already did one thing for the hp100 boggart challenge, but this one just hit me. It was really hard to pare this one down to 100 words; the Moody boggart was a lot easier.

It so had to be done, you know.

Minerva's boggart. Snape/McGonagall.

Sometimes I just want to hug them both.

I will not...

- listen to the OoP audio excerpt that's floating around, even though jenavira has so convinently linked to it.
- go searching for anything HP-related on the off-chance I might find a spoiler.
- think about the chapter titles I discovered by doing a search for something HP-related the other day
- even to wonder if they're the real chapter titles or those of somebody's unoriginally titled fic.

No spoilers, damnit.

But five days is seeming like a very long time suddenly.

The car, the post office...

It must be our usual mailman's day off, because when I went to check the mail I found two of those "sorry we missed you, you have a package" notices. Argh. The usual guy knows that even though the apartment numbers have been missing since they repainted the complex, there's a sign on our door- and I'm always home.

Our post office branch sucks. It's only open till 5:00 weeknights, really hard to get to, service is always bad. When we have stuff to send, we go to one of the other branches- usually any other branch. So it's annoying knowing my stuff is there, but that I can't get to it. Called Mom, and she said she'd try to get them on her way home.

In other news, the Toyota died when my uncle tried to start it this morning. Hah! Usually it won't do anything when other people are around, which is frustrating. Anyway, he got it going, and is going to take care of getting us a new starter and putting it in. We'll pay him back for the parts, buy him some Mountain Dew by way of thanks... My uncle is very cool.

I just hope that fixes the damned car. Just to be sure we're keeping the Ford through tomorrow, but I'm hoping...*crosses fingers*

And I think andromakhe has convinced me to listen to the OoP audio clip, so I'm off to do that.

But I'm warning you now, Andromache, if it's majorly spoilery, I'll... why, I'll tell you something worse after I read the book. ;)

update- okay, listened to clip. It's interesting, but frustratingly brief and uninformative. 1 minute 45 seconds, if anyone's interested.

No more spoilerish stuff for me though. That was just too weird.
