Don't sell yourself short! I loved LOVED Meet Me at the Center. It was in my tip top favorites for the round and from the whole BotD altogether. I loved how you incorporated that prominent 'center' aspect of the picture prompt. I think yours and one other were the only two to do so. I tried to as well at first but couldn't think of anything really interesting so I just avoided it altogether. x.x And as a drabble, I think yours quintessentially nailed saying so much in so few words. I was immediately drawn in by the first few lines and absolutely enjoyed how you portrayed Draco and developed him in that first drabble - that aspect about finding himself was a wonderful inclusion. And I loved the ending line of your second though that reveal about Harry left me wishing a beat down on him. It left me wondering about Ginny too and what was going on with her as the scheme unfolded. That word limit was a killer, wasn't it?
Author's Response: !!! YES. The word limit was teeth-gnashing. (Note to self: visit dentist.) Thank you so much. :) There was so much more to say about Harry's actions in the 2nd drabble, but no way to get any of it in. Ginny's decision too. Well, maybe SOMEDAY I'll expand some more on that one...
(BTW, I WILL answer your email today.)

These are quite lovely, Anise. I wonder if you plan to add more drabbles to this collection. I know that I would be very interested in reading more of them. I also think that this second one would be one that you should consider expanding on if the inspiration ever strikes. :)
Author's Response: Thanks! :) I definitely had a few more from the challenge, so I'll add those. It's really weird just how HARD it is to write anything short... for me, anyway!

You said you are not a master of short stories but you are. Somehow you have managed to convey everything in few words, weel done!
Author's Response: Thanks! It was a good experience to do these, I think.

I've read those on the Drabble Battle.
There's only one thing left to say: Too bad they are so short...
Author's Response: Thanks! I think I know what you mean-- keeping to that kind of word limit was BEYOND unbearable. For the second one especially.
