Strange Ficlet

[melwil]

I've been trying to write an uncomfortable dinner party fic for lizbee. It's not working. Mostly because I keep coming up with things like this:

~*~
"I think we should have people over for dinner."

Hermione raised an eyebrow. "You don't like people, Severus."

"I'm talking about my daughter . . ."

"You're only moderately fond of her."

" . . .and her boyfriend."

"You definately don't like him. Mutual hatred, I believe."

"We could have some wine."

"Remind me to hide the knives."

~*~

So, Liz, I'm working on it.

Sinus pain again. Following Liz's lead, I might call it Fred.

The funny is good. I say keep the funny. It will all crumble to pieces soon enough.

The funny is good. The over the top, out of characterness isn't so good.
