Here be a little thing I wrote last week at the Sectus picnic drabblethon for the prompt 'Omnioculars'. Rating PG-13, word count - 350ish.



"You do know,” said Harry, turning the small device over in his hand, “that these are completely immoral, don't you?”

George shrugged. "The Ministry pays me well for this range of products. One can never be too vigilant, especially these days with the goblins raising their heads again. Anyway, I asked you here to trial these,” he said, removing the strange looking Omnioculars from Harry’s hand, “not to give me a lecture on morality.”

"That may be," replied Harry, "but these long range surveillance devices of yours do more than just survey. They can invade a person's privacy, and some might call them indecent."

"I'm sure they'll be safe in your hands," George answered. Harry frowned. He wasn't so sure, given the right... motivation.

"What about Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes?"

The colour in George’s face suddenly drained away, and he turned abruptly from Harry to gaze out of the window of his office. The silence now present in the room hung thickly between them. Harry opened his mouth to speak and then promptly closed it again, before he put his foot even further into what he knew had upset George. Turning back to face Harry, George quietly said, “Since Weasleys’ became Weasley, my heart's not in jokes and frivolity.”

Stepping forward, Harry reached out and gave George’s shoulder a reassuring squeeze. “God, George, I’m so sorry. Mouth working faster than brain. You know I’ll support you in whatever new development you want me to try out.”

“Thanks, Harry. Here." George handed the surveillance device back to Harry. "Take this pair and give them a go. Let me know how they fare in the field. I can make any modifications you require."

~*~

For the second year running, Draco Malfoy looked over and caught sight of Harry staring at him through the drifting steam of the Hogwart’s Express. He nodded once, slowly, and then turned away to walk with his son along the platform. Harry checked his surroundings. With no one else near him, he raised George’s Transnoculars and tracked Malfoy’s departure. Licking his lips, Harry noted that the long time object of his desire may have a receding hairline, but Draco Malfoy still had a mighty fine arse indeed.

Part 2

Harry, you devil! I'd like me a pair of those (the transnoculars, you perv!), thank you very much. ;)

Just 350 words, but you've managed to include a whole range of emotions. Very nice!

Even those of us packed full of moral fibre can be tempted with the right... motivation, shall we say. *g* I'm happy you liked it. I did a drawing for the first prompt, allergies - Draco looks like a blow up doll!

Excellent little piece. Love the conversation with George. And pleased that Harry still notices a fine arse when he sees one *smirks*

Thank you, my dear. I can certainly see George losing some of his enthusiasm for the funnier side of life.

We know who's arse Harry has been drooling over, don't we? *nods* And was there ever a finer arse?

The first prompt was 'allergies'. I did a sketch in which Draco's face makes him look like a blow up doll!

This is excellent, amazing emotional range for such a short fic, and a darling ending XD
I would have loved if you'd shared that one in the park. I must get my 'Omnioculars' sketch scanned and post it - my first ever piece of fanart!!

I did share it, but I asked you to cover your ears due to the spoiler re the end and Fred.

Oh, and thanks for such a lovely response. :)

I'm certain George would never recover from the loss of Fred; they were always portrayed as being more than close. *hugs him with you*

I LOVE this conversation with George. *sigh*

And hello!?!?! Harry has always been a naughty boy, "safe in your hands" my arse. :D :D :D I suppose in comparison to the twins.... ;)

Gah, the hairline. *emos* :P

From: [identity profile] moonlite-tryst.livejournal.com
Thank you. Poor George. He feels as though he's only half a man. No emoing about the hairline. Of course it looks as though it's receeding, it's tied back!

pfft! If Sean Connery can get a second hair implanted all over again then why the hell could a wizard not get hair to grow on his head if he wanted? LOL (Btw, I'm still waiting for this hairline-thing to be drawn in fanart but I migh be waiting until my hairline starts receeding.)

Actually, that is already in hand as per my request. *is furtive*

From: [identity profile] grey-hunter.livejournal.com
yes? YES! *-*

Will you please rec it if it is done? (Who is going to draw it?)

Date: 2007-07-30 05:24 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] moonlite-tryst.livejournal.com
I'm sure half of the H/D fandom will rec it because it's being drawn by [livejournal.com profile] lillithium.

That's pretty creepy.

Let's see what this one looks like... hee.

Better because of the straight line where his neck gets chopped off - gives him some definition.

Harry is such a dog. Ha ha ha!

And oh, you made me feel even sadder for George.

Date: 2007-07-29 09:45 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] moonlite-tryst.livejournal.com
At least he's only looking, and not acting on his desires - the fool! I'm sure george will feel as though he's had a limb torn off, and the ache will never fade. *sniffles*

heh just knew it!!! When is Harry going to take action, I wonder...

Don't know. Someone else can play with that scenario. *winks*
