Since I am a)feeling silly, 2)a little evil, and D)aware that this IS, after all, only one sentence...
...remember that story you didn't write, about the first time Dumbledore met the giant squid, and how it impacted DD's decision to let it continue living in the lake after he became headmaster?
As the water of the lake closed over his head, he saw Aberforth's pet goat looking down over the edge of the raft, and thought, So... this is how it ends.
As weddings went, it was a sloppy, slipshod affair--no flowers, the groom in dirty camouflage shorts, the bride only slightly cleaner in khaki, a slightly singed flower in her hair the only nod to appearances.
The visiting room was little more than an expanded cell, and for the first time since Wesley had met Faith, she looked like the least dangerous person in the room.
What Revenge of the Sith would have been if various people had had their heads properly connected (meaning Anakin, various Jedi, and perhaps anyone who thought Anakin's response to his wife's impending death should have been to shrug it off).
Oh, and that includes Padme who doesn't suddenly go into the dumbest case of post partum depression on record and express zero interest in her kids or her own survival.
Right. All that in a sentence. Sheesh, I'm presumptious.
Padmé watched the funeral pyre from the crowd, draped in a ragged blanket that Yoda had scrounged up for her from the wreckage of the Temple; he was sure that Anakin had no idea she was here, that he believed her dead--which was as safe as she could be with Palpatine out for her head--but Padmé wasn't quite as certain.
It occurred to her while she was setting out tea for his friends from the ministry, a job she'd done habitually since she'd left Hogwarts, as he'd always been a wretched host and she felt that she at least owed him what social advancement was hers to give.
After thinking, I'm going to kill the twins for daring me to do this, Ron guessed that he shouldn't have been surprised when the charm made him see their funeral, a jolly affair involving fireworks and a clown.
The Star Wars AU where Anakin decides that being with Padme is more important than being a Jedi, and tells the Council about his secret marriage. Of course, then the two have to go elsewhere to build a new life. And Palpatine, angry that his target slipped away, is eager for revenge.
(I actually wrote one something like that, though I wrote it between TPM and AotC, and didn't get all the facts right. Or, like, any of them.)

"Hush," Padmé whispered, wrapping little Shmi tightly in her blanket, eyes wide as she watched the shaking roof or the storm cellar, the pale blue light cast by Anakin's lightsaber rendering everything ghostlike.
Remember that HP/LotR/Buffyverse crossover you wrote where Buffy mistook Snape for a vampire amidst all the confusion surrounding the identities of the nearly identical white-haired wizards? That was fun.
How about that one you wrote about Hermione (sp?) and her explanation to the sorting hat of why Griffindor would be a better choice than Ravenclaw. (Sorry I admit it I am rubbish at spelling, sorry.)
Really, I understand your point about Ravenclaw and books, but I've read Hogwarts, A History, and we're both quite aware that a lot of notable Gryffindors--including Dumbledore--are avid readers!
She was sitting in the garden, playing with a gnome, and Harry realized that the speech he was actually going to make was entirely different from the one he'd meant to repeat.
Stella Lovegood looked on carefully as the little redheaded girl from across town first tugged on Luna's long hair, then walked around her, wide-eyed, then stopped and lisped, "Are you really a little girl? I thought I was the only one!"
Ahahaha! That Luna one is genius. It really is a very Luna thing to say. Hmm, how about that story where Hermione and Ron inadvertently discover a Horcrux in the middle of a row?
"Oh, bloody--" Ron began, but his voice was cut off as cleanly as if Hermione had cut him with a knife or an answer; the fact that she had suddenly dropped the argument was more important than anything she might have said.
(I love how semi-colons can make two sentences fit the meme rule...)

dramaturgy, because I am bored but don't feel like doing whole drabbles.
