Flist, I have a confession to make.

So, I've been having these Harry Potter fandom, err, shall we say thoughts? At first they were just vague thoughts. Theodore & Blaise mostly since all my Slytherins have had a massive series except for a story that has that pairing, but then my brain thought that that meant the end of Neville & Theodore, which made me distressed and so I had to shelve that idea.

And then today [livejournal.com profile] circe_tigana announced that she thought that James McAvoy *observe a moment for the hotass* would be an amazing Harry, and we all know I cannae stand Harry, but for James, concessions can be made.

And then I started thinking, well, does that pair Harry with Neville (now that a) Matthew Lewis is dead hot and b) it turns out that Tommy Brockless from TW is Matthew's big brother, Tony, and can be a suitable mental placement) and if not, then who? I can't really use Prince Harry (Ron) as that's just too much time in Gryffindor tower, and Draco. Well, just no.

And my head said: ED WESTWICK. Yes, from Gossip Girl. He fits the only requirement of the actor actually being British, and if he can wear this and make it look good, well, then I can easily see him naked. The only quandry being, who is he?

What character? I need a name to build a characterization. He's clearly in my house, but WHO in my house. And if he's not in Slytherin, then where? And who. Yeah, the who is the real corker, as these things happen when I've already got virtually every one else cast in my head. Got suggestions? Got plot ideas? Come talk to me.

On the other hand, if there mere thought of HP freaks you out, I wrote Chuck yesterday, Truth, Justice and that Other Stuff, which is Chuck/Bryce.

A drunk Draco wouldn't know what to do me if I gave him a fucking map and a GPS. Although all your whooping and hollering is making me think that maybe Ed can be one of the next generation Slytherins. Maybe Scorpius. And then he can hook up with one of the Potter riff-raff. No, actually that's just appalling.

Wow you even went there in your head?

The name Scorpius is so appalling I can't cope. It's her worst name by far. It's also a really gross dude from Farscape. It really doesn't work for me.

I do want the Blaise/Teddy, natch.

I think JKR just needs to write 100 times with Umbridge's quill 'I hate Slytherins and refuse to accept that they could be real human beings with real diversity of emotion and personality' because that's what she's saying and she should stop faking otherwise. That name is appalling. I think about Blaise and Theodore from time to time but am not really inclined to put out as much effort as that would require.

Yeah, apathy's a bitch.
