So Many Books

Jan. 16th, 2008 at 8:59 PM

This is a 100 word fic written in response to bluestocking79's last word challenge.

Sinistra rarely spent time with the Divinations Professor. The woman really didn't seem to comprehend the difference between Astronomy and Astrology and was always suggesting they work together. However, the way Sybill had been treated by that Umbridge woman was disgraceful, and so, in a gesture of solidarity, she had invited Sybill to her suite for coffee and sweets after dinner.
Trelawney looked around the room and gave a sniff. She wandered over to shelves of scrolls, textbooks, novels, rare diaries, popular science books and magazines. "No wonder you're stuck up, Aurora. Only a bluestocking would have so many books!"

Heh. Poor Sybill. Good of Sinistra to give it a go, though.

I love the last word challenges because they are giving me reason to write about characters and combinations I don't usually do. I always figured that my version of Sinistra (fond of the scientific aspect of her field) and Trelawny wouldn't mix well-- but never had a story to deal with it in.

Heavens! Trelawney is seriously cracked. What a thing to say to your host. Aurora's rooms sound like a great place to be.

I think Sybill was drinking before she arrived.

:D That was cute, and sweet too. I like the idea that someone was nice to her after that happened.

Very well written, as usual. I love how you get the feeling across so well.

I wish I could write as well as you, you are very good.

Sweet, hmmm... well, Aurora's trying to be nice, but Sybill seems to just be trying. You online?
