The Days That Lie Ahead by worksofstone

[worksofstone]

Happy Halloween! The following fic was written for hp_zombiefest 2011, which just posted its master list. This is definitely a story that falls into the Horror/Drama aspect of Halloween, should you be looking for (or looking to avoid) that kind of story. :)

If something that's less angst-buckets-galore is more your style, DMHG Halloween is posting all of its fics today. I have two little fics over there as well, although the fest is anonymous.

'Why, yes, Draco steals candy from children' and 'That one time Hermione got lit on fire (accidentally)'.

AHAHAHAHAHA Oh, I'll have to read those right away.

Hehe! :D

I'm hoping for even more Draco stealing candy from children in this fest, truthfully. I feel that this is something that should be explored further!

Fair warning, those fics are shamefully un-betad and unbritpicked (I am totally someone who needs both), due to having roughly two weeks to do 'em. DMHG Halloween started really, really late, due to no fault of the mods, which meant that I was crunching out fiction at the last minute! I read 'em multiple times for SPaG errors, but I'm sure that some slipped through. :)

Oops, just read the entire page of rules for DMHG Halloween, and apparently it's an anonymous exchange. Time to edit this post--

Let's pretend I said nothing! XD

If you said nothing, I saw nothing! (And if it makes you feel better to screen or delete this thread, just for "adhering to anon" purposes, go ahead.) XD

(I am sure that the good folk at dramione will keep my shameful secret safe, so I shall trust to them! Also, author reveals are tomorrow, so I don't think that I'll worry too much! XD)
