1. conjugal: of or relating to marriage
2. consanguine: related by blood
3. distaff: woman's work; suitable for a woman
4. endogamy: marriage within a social unit
5. filial: of or pertaining to a son or daughter
6. fratricide: the act of killing one's brother
7. progenitor: a biologically related ancestor
8. scion: a descendant or heir

Number four, Privet Drive. There was nothing good about this place: Dursleys, prejudices, dark cupboards, and normalcy.
But as Harry stood behind that tree and watched his Uncle Vernon mow the lawn while Aunt Petunia was no doubt inside with what she considered her distaff chores, it occurred to him that maybe normalcy was underrated.
Maybe Harry wanted a lawn to mow and a house and a family and conjugal bliss. This fighting evil thing, though exciting and undeniably rewarding, was starting to get old after fifteen years. And maybe he'd never be able to have consanguine children on account of his sexual preferences, but a family really wasn't too much to ask for, was it?
He thought of Draco, scion of one of the last great wizarding bloodlines and unbreakable in his sense of filial duty. Would he really turn against his progenitors for Harry?
Sometimes Harry thought Draco would sooner commit fratricide than marry a muggleborn, much less another man with whom he'd never be able to produce an heir. Purebloods were all about endogamy, after all.
But other times in the quiet moments of pre-dawn, Draco would look at and touch and smile at Harry in a way that made him think, forever.
Harry shook the thoughts from his head and stepped out from behind the tree. He had come to see what family he had for the first time since he was a child and see them he would.

On a completely different and somewhat TMI note, that boy and I had this long discussion about female masturbation yesterday. or rather, how often it actually happens. He thinks the average is once every 2 or 3 weeks and I think it's a bit more than that.. So, a poll?

Date: 2007-06-10 04:30 pm (UTC)People need to post dirty polls more often. I'm always curious if my experiences are about the same as other girls, but I have no one to talk about it with cept liiivejournal.

Date: 2007-06-07 11:42 pm (UTC)On a different note, I am amused by your drabbles very much and perhaps will use them to help me study for the GREs I didn't know I was supposed to be studying for (omg!!!). hehe
Also, I come home so very very soon and shall mail you your present!!
no subject
Date: 2007-06-08 01:00 am (UTC)But, uh, yeah, you should probably start looking into it when you get back from France, though plenty of people just study for a month or so and do fine. I'm just analish because my GPA isn't necessarily so great.
MY SLOTH SIGN! ♥ wheeeeeeeeeeeee, I am excited. :D :D :D
no subject
Date: 2007-06-08 01:06 am (UTC)Crap. One more thing to add to the endless list of things to do when I get back from France. How do you even find out where/how/when to take them? I am so in the dark. All I know is what my friend told me (who is now in grad school) that half the words they have you learn don't end up being on the test anyways.
I am excited for you to receive it. ♥ ♥ :D
PS We did not see Pirates as we went to the district where Moulon (or however it's spelt) Rouge is and the sex shop district (you would have loved it). hehe I think it was a good choice. I shall see the movie when I return to the States.

Date: 2007-06-08 01:12 am (UTC)I bought the Kaplan GRE guide book (that's not the actual title, but if you go to the bookstore it should be in the test prep section) and that will give you a rough timeline. I heard first from friends/professors, though. Of course most of the words you learn won't be on it because there's just too many, but I'd do miserably if I didn't study. :|
Wheeeeeee! when do you get back? !!
SEX SHOP DISTRICT. hahahha did I tell you, I ordered those stress relief boobs for the boy and they got here. very squishy if somewhat unpleasant in the smell department.
fdlks;ajklsl;kaf I AM STILL WAITING FOR YOU TO SEE PIRATES.
no subject

Well, I mean, I haven't given it to him yet, but I'm going to go visit in 9 days! *bounce*
Hahha that should be the first thing you do when you get back! XD
no subject
Date: 2007-06-08 01:26 am (UTC)Well it's already into today in France, but I suppose if it will make you happy, tomorrow for you then and all of you in the States.
Yay! Will you wear his scent to meet him? I think you should, he might think you smell really good. :P

Date: 2007-06-08 02:14 am (UTC)Well. I'm pretty sure I'm more excited to see POC. We went into the Disney store here in Paris and looked at all the POC toys for sale. I came very close to buying a beach towel to cuddle with tonight, but decided I couldn't fit it in the suitcase.
no subject

no subject
Date: 2007-06-12 02:16 am (UTC)I saw it on Sunday and I thought it was a great movie and they could do a spin off about Elizabeth, the kid, and Will, but it may lack some meat, maybe a small one?
