Activity: Muggle Music Recs! + Drabbles
Points: Standard Participation; 10 points + bonus points
Activity Period: Now until July 21st 11:59 PDT//6:59 UTC
I know just how much our HiH members love music, so why not have an activity where you can recommend music to others? Just for recommending a song, you will receive 2 points. However, writing a HP drabble of at least 100 words inspired by or featuring the lyrics of your recommended songs will net you eight additional points!
Youtube videos/song links are fine, but remember that HiH does not support file sharing, please:)
This lovely activity was inspired by an idea by

Date: 2010-07-11 06:09 am (UTC)Fenrir Greyback, Harry Potter, and a wonderful author self-insertion named Peyton were on the way to the Malfoy Manor one night. Why was this unlikely trio heading there? First of all, it wasn't odd at all because EVERYONE loved Peyton and settled their differences whenever she was around. Second, they were heading there for a PARTY!
"Woohoo!" Peyton shouted at the white peacocks roaming around Malfoy's lawn. Fenrir growled in delight at his girlfriend's disruptive nature. Soon, he would put it to better use. Harry looked at them both askance and wondered again why he wasn't with Ron or Hermione. Then, he remembered that he was to be their designated apparator when they were too intoxicated to do it themselves.
"So, do you think Malfoy will let you get wine stains on the sofa?" asked Harry, pretty much out of the blue.
"We don't care!" shouted Fenrir and Peyton in unison. "I'm planning on waking up on the front lawn," continued Peyton.
"Not without me, you're not," rumbled Fenrir sexily.
"Of course not, sweetums," Peyton replied as she reached up to pinch her love's cute wittle cheeks.
"Malfoy might object to that," Harry the Party Pooper said.
"He might object to YOUR FACE!" Fenrir came back with.
"OH SNAP, YOU GOT TOLD," emitted Peyton.
"...I suppose I did," Harry mumbled.
Then they partied and did, in fact, wake up on the front lawn. After Harry threw up in Malfoy's previously pristine shoe closet.

Once again, that stupid git Weasley hurts her with his crude words. And Potter, the duffer, just sides with the idiot.
She must feel so alone now.
Even though his anger burns deep, he still notices how pretty—no, beautiful—she is tonight, all dressed up for the Yule Ball; for Krum.
He wishes she would do the same for him. But she needs to know first. And she doesn’t.
One day, he will tell her. When the right moment comes.
Running a hand through his platinum blond hair, he returns to the Great Hall.
His date is waiting.

He missed them, Lily and James. He'd never hear James' laugh, or see Lily smile. Never again. And it was all his fault.
I lost them all in combat, I sold them out. I disappeared in combat, I sold them out.
He'd even lost Sirius and Remus. Sirius was in Azkaban by now. And Remus, the only one who ever treated him like an equal, thought he was dead.
No one's visiting, it's my punishment for backing out.
He was alone. All alone. Not even his master sought him out. It was surely karmic retribution for betraying the only people who ever cared about him.
But it was done. What could he do?

Date: 2010-07-11 04:12 pm (UTC)Ron scoffed at Harry's continued insistence that he join him and Hermione in preparing to become a registered Animagus. "I still don't see the point. I have no need or desire to run around in any sort of animal form and it just does not strike me as practical."
"No one is suggestion, that you would have to live like an animal all the time, but sometimes it can be useful to be less detectable to others," Hermione responded.
"That's why Harry has his invisibility cloak."
"Well, I'm not everywhere you go," Harry sighed. "It's okay, though, Ron. I understand your hesitation after what happened with Scabbers."
Ron stared down at the floor. "It's not just that, I just don't really see a reason to put in all of that work."
"Well," Hermione responded with a tone of finality to her voice, "just remember that you wouldn't have to be in your form all the time and that it would be fun to be able to run together. But it's your decision..."
Harry and Hermione left the room to head off to their Animagus class. Ron stared in the direction they left for a moment when a gust of wind burst through the window and flowed through his hair. "Wait for me!" he called as he rushed after them.

"This is dumb." Scorpius was draped over the couch, unopened Exploding Snap deck hanging across the arm in one hand. "Let's play some normal games instead."
Al murmured a "Ssh," eyes fixed on the screen, but even he had started to doze off in his chair.
Caught up in hurried Z-and-X-key-pressing, the fact that her cousin and friend had even spoken didn't register with Rose immediately. Reaction delayed by almost a minute, she said haltingly with her eyes still glued to the screen, "Wait, I've almost beaten my high score, then you can have a turn."
Scorpius stuffed his face into the plush couch arm, groaning dramatically. Al blinked and jerked his head up, looking a bit dazed.
"Let's never, ever, hang out with your Muggle cousin again," Scorpius' muffled voice came from the couch. Albus nodded vaguely, shifting in his seat.
Again, it took Rose a moment before she replied. "Even if it's not your turn to play, the music's nice to listen to," she said absently, amid low waves of sparkling and mellow love-filled trance.
"I don't want to play stupid unicorn games on your stupid Muggle computer, Rosie," Scorpius grumbled, still not looking up. "And for your information, the music is so boring."
Al yawned. "I rather like the music," he said.
"You're falling asleep!" Scorpius replied.
"Alright, alright, I'm on my last life, just give me another minute." Rose bounded through fields of stars and dolphins, leaving their hanging-out time to suffer until she bashed into a large rock.

As Draco slowly walked towards the Great Hall, he heard someone calling out his name.
“Psst, over hear…”
“Where?” he said.
“In the Girl’s restroom.”
As he walked through the door, he saw a short, red-headed girl.
“You know I’m only going to break your heart,” said Draco.
“You know what,” said Ginny.
“What?”
“I really don’t care. All the boys that I have been with are all boring and too good. I just need a change in my life.”
Draco smirked, “That’s good.”
“And really there’s no point trying to hide this either,” Ginny said seductively
“Ok then... Are you ready for this?”
“Of course.”
They both left the restroom together holding hands.

Date: 2010-07-11 11:46 pm (UTC)"Weary and worn, little monster is born. Tell me lies and I'll justify them. I'm desperate today and it's making me pay for that night, for that kiss, for your bed. Whoever dared to love someone not there? I don't need a balloon and a pin. The name of the game is Out-Running the Blame so I'll hate you and love you. We're friends, guess we'll be friends, I guess we'll be friends.
Oh why can't you take me in your arms now?"
Al Potter was roughly woken by someone tugging on his arm.
"Merlin, go away," he whined, eyes still closed.
"Al," his cousin Rose's voice hissed at him, hurry. Get up, we have to get out of here."
Al sat up, his head spinning. Above him, the drapes around the bed were royal blue, not the red they should be.
"Are we in -?"
"Shh," Rose whispered frantically. she tugged his arm again, and this time he followed, letting her lead him out into the Ravenclaw common room.
"I have to go get ready," she said, jerking a thumb towards the girls' dormitories. "You'd better do the same. Breakfast is in half an hour."
"What happened?" Al asked, making fists and holding his knuckles against the pounding headache that radiated from somewhere behind his eyeballs.
Rose gently pushed him towards the door. "You hooked up with Malfoy and stayed the night in his bed. Now hurry."
"Hooked up, like, how far?" Al asked, but the heavy wooden door was swinging shut, and his legs were working on their own to get him, shakily, back to Gryffindor territory. Adrenalin coursed through his veins.
Finally, it had happened, he mused to himself as he hurried through a shower. After years of silent pining - okay, not silent if you count conversations with Rose and journal entries - Malfoy had finally noticed him! Al had been in love with him since October 23rd and ten-thirty am, on a Tuesday, second year. Malfoy had turned around in Charms to ask him for a spare quill, and the sunlight had radiated around his blonde head, making him look ethereal, his grey eyes makign Al's stomach tighten painfully.
As he rinsed the shampoo from his hair, he allowed himself, briefly, to wonder if this would lead to anything - if they would sit together at meals, go to Quidditch games together and make out under the stands, fall asleep spooning under warm blankets. But, no. One step at a time. Get through today first.
Dressing quickly, Al's fingers shook with excitement. He hurried down to meet Rosie, who was sitting at the Gryffindor table waiting for him.
As he entered the Great Hall, Scorpius Malfoy was leaving. Al froze, a smile lighting up his face.
Malfoy paused. "What are you just standing there for?" he asked roughly. "Move, Potter."
"I - but -" Al stammered, and Scorpius pushed past him impatiently.
Tail between his legs, Al headed to sit by Rose, where he silently took a piece of toast, eyes down.
"Al," she said gently, and he interrupted.
"He just doesn't remember," Al said quickly. "That's all." He set the toast back down. There was no way he could eat.

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sR47TZdJg64)
Ron stole Harry's invisibility cloak after everyone was asleep and, for the third time that week, crept out of the dormitory and through the castle, hidden from sight. He slipped out of the doors and into the beautiful spring evening, with the moon shining high above. It was almost a full moon and the wind was creating tiny ripples on the Black Lake. Ron walked up to the bank of the lake and took off the cloak.
He waited in silence, and finally, one of the giant octopus's tentacles reached out and tapped him lightly on the wrist. Ron took ahold of it and reached down to grab another one. Slowly, the octopus and Ron began to dance along the lake's shore, slowly making their way half in water and half on land.
"This is what love feels like..." thought Ron, as the moonlight shone down on him.

Here be drabble!
I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out
He looked across the great hall at the boy he had been in love with since he had first laid eyes on him. Every fiber of his being wished that he was sitting by the boy’s side, as one of his confidantes, instead of sitting here, forced into the role of his enemy. Draco was sick of playing these games with Harry. Constantly fighting, when all he really wanted to do was get to know him, and hopefully to become more than friends. He was fed up, he stood up suddenly, and ran from the great hall with tears in his eyes.
Green eyes were raised and followed the blonde’s exit curiously.
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You'll make it now
Draco found an empty classroom off the main corridor where he hid and cried. He knew it couldn’t go on like this, he needed to make his choice now, and follow through with it. He would make Harry like him, if it was the last thing he did. He would stop making fun of his friends, and become a better person. It was time he grew up.
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won
It had been a month since that fateful day. Everyone in the school had been shocked by the change in the once icy cool Slytherin Prince, none more so than Harry Potter. Draco had taken his time and broken through all of his defenses, and was fast becoming a close friend.
They were taking lunch out by the lake on a lazy Sunday afternoon when Harry looked up and caught Draco staring at him, a genuine contented smile on his lips. Harry looked into those cool grey eyes, and his heart stuttered on a beat. He had never seen the blonde so utterly at peace, and it was breathtaking. He reached out a hand slowly and brushed a lock of hair out of Draco’s face, sweeping the back of his hand over his cheek in the process. It was almost as if they were connected by magnets as they moved towards each other and met in their first kiss. Full of promise, Harry realized that although it had been a slow fall, he had fallen hard for Draco Malfoy.
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along
