Title: spellwork
Rating: G
Word Count: 300
Pairing: Sanji/Usopp
Topic: Magic
Summary: Yes, this is the Harry Potter crossover that everyone saw coming. No, I am not sorry.
Notes: First entry! Trying to force myself out of a writer's block, and what better way than to shamelessly exploit HP-verse. I mean, what? >_>
“This is a bad idea,” Usopp says, except he’s not sure if he means it. “Pretty sure this is a bad idea,” he tries, and this time he does mean it, because Madame Nico just walked by with an armload of books and gave them a serene smile that Usopp just did not trust.
“Hm,” says Prince, whose real name is not actually Prince but it fits, Usopp thinks, because Prince has blue eyes and bluer blood, hair the color of the hammered gold in the illuminated manuscripts Madame Nico is so fond of. But when Prince smiles at Usopp, it’s not a gallant, chivalrous smile, but a smile worthy of the green and silver of his tie.
“I wonder,” says Usopp, “how peaceful my life could have been if you had gone to Durmstrang instead.”
“Peaceful, but so boring,” Prince dismisses, and he is leaning so close that Usopp thinks he might asphyxiate. “And besides,” Prince continues in a low murmur, “who’d keep you from flunking Potions?”
“I can manage.” That’s a lie and Usopp knows it. He’s absolutely horrid at Potions and he’d have blown himself up a hundred times if it weren’t for Prince watching for wayward salamander tails and beetle eyes. Usopp gulps and says, “Are you sure—in return—I couldn’t do your Divination essay instead? Or Arithmancy? Or—”
“I can manage,” and Prince’s smile grows wider, more wicked.
Merlin help me, Usopp prays, except he doesn’t really mean that either, though he tries his hardest to convince himself he does. “Sanji,” Usopp says without thinking, and the smile becomes a little sweeter.
There are strong, determined fingers pulling at his tie, and Usopp tries to lie to himself, tries to tell himself that he totally is not getting the better end of the bargain here.
additional tidbits (which are longer than the actual drabble) because I am a nerd:
1. Brook is professor of History of Magic, Franky professor of Muggle Studies (you know why), and Robin is Head Librarian
2. Chopper is a pureblood and a Hufflepuff, and his favorite subject is (duh) Care of Magical Creatures. His parents initially thought he was a squib until he got his letter from Hogwarts, where he met Luffy and finally got over his insecurity.
3. Zoro is a halfblood (magic on his mom’s side) and a Gryffindor. They discovered his wizarding abilities when he was a year old, when his mom left him in his high chair to answer the phone and came back to find that he had turned his hair green. (They have yet to figure out a way to reverse this.) Zoro sleeps through all his classes and the only reason he’s still allowed to play Beater is because he’sa monster just too damn good.
4. In his first year, Luffy followed his nose and somehow found the passage to the school kitchens. He has been the bane of the house elves ever since. He is a halfblood (on his dad’s side) and, brace yourselves, a Gryffindor.
5. Nami is Muggle-born but she still reigns supreme in the Slytherin house because she has mastered the move Strike Fear (and it’s super effective!). Her favorite subject is Transfiguration (fake galleons anyone?)
6. Usopp is a halfblood (on his mom’s side) and a Gryffindor (which he struggles with very often). His favorite subject is Divination because it’s just so easy to lie his way through the class.
7. Sanji’s favorite subject is Potions (who didn’t see that coming). He was born in one of the Scandinavian countries and would have gone to Durmstrang if he hadn’t moved toEast Blue England. >_>
8. They’re all friends because Luffy. c|:)

And those ending notes. 50 points to you for putting Nami into Slytherin. 8D
Now I'm craving multi chapter fic D:
no subject
Date: 2011-07-16 04:26 pm (UTC)And Nami is totally queen of Slytherin. She runs a very tight ship over there, with Sanji as her besotted right hand man, and if anyone dares to question the magic in her blood, she'll make them cough slugs for a week at least. Second year, she started a lucrative little business with Sanji's "love potions," which didn't do much except make the drinker a little pink and subtly sparkly. They would have been expelled but Headmaster Garp thought it was amusing to see a whole flock of pink, sparkly students, and let them off with a warning. From third year onward, Nami acts as an underground bookie and takes bets for Quidditch matches and the House Cup. She goes on to be prefect and head girl, and at some point in her post-Hogwarts career she will probably be wanted by the Ministry for counterfeiting money and ruining small economies, but she'll charm her way out of it.
No promises for multi-chapter fic, but it's fun to gush and babble in the comment threads!

Date: 2011-07-16 05:33 pm (UTC)There's so much unexplored about the HP verse. I really hope oher authors come along and add their own stories. HP is our generation's Star Wars/Star Trek.

Date: 2011-07-17 01:43 pm (UTC)and I have to ask about the staff, who teaches potions, charms and the rest. Oh geez who are the heads of house? And what house is Vivi in? I will be thinking about this all day! So many questions....
no subject
Date: 2011-07-17 04:34 pm (UTC)wristneck. Zoro can do this and still look intimidating as hell because he's got technique.)Let's say.... Ivankov is Potions Master! Because
I like to torture Sanjijust imagine all the weird (useful!) shit they'd brew in class! Heracles would teach Herbology, focusing on the use of explosive plants XD Maybe Shanks would teach DaDA? Because you don't get more badass than a one-armed ex-Auror. Or perhaps Rayleigh?? I can't decide! And I want to say that Buggy teaches charms, because how hilarious and traumatizing would that be.BON CLAY AS TRANSFIGURATION PROFESSOR. He's excellent at transfiguring objects as well as himself, because he is a metamorphmagus! And Madame Shirley would teach Divination, I think. She holds class outside by the Black Lake and claims the fog adds to the "atmosphere." Pell teaches Astronomy! And Crocus would be keeper of the grounds + professor of Care of Magical Creatures! Flying instructor would be... Marco? Because he is young and hip and has a bird motif going for him. And can fly, of course >_>
Methinks... Vivi would be in GRYFFINDORRRRR. Her owl is of course named Carue. 8D
Kureha is the nurse. As a result, students and staff try especially hard not to get sick or injured at Hogwarts.
Heads of Houses! I'd have to choose from the staff, right? Mmm... Shanks/Rayleigh for Gryffindor, Pell for Ravenclaw, Bon Clay for Hufflepuff, and Madame Shirley for Slytherin ohoho.
OF COURSE FEEL FREE TO DISAGREE AND SUBSTITUTE CHARACTERS OF YOUR CHOICE! I'd love to hear your ideas too!
wow this got out of hand...

Date: 2011-07-17 11:50 pm (UTC)Okama Kenpo is well represented I see ;) I like to torture Sanji too. I also like Shanks as DADA teacher but Rayleigh seems like a better head of house. Buggy spends most of his time plotting vengeance on Shanks through house rivalries but it never works out. Bon-Chan as a metamorphmagus is awesome beyond words. What race is Madame Shirley? Are Zoans animagus? Is Laboon in the pond instead of the giant squid with Crocus and Brook like BFFs?
Kureha as the nurse and Zoro's potential interactions with her frighten me. He's lucky he has that big brother thing going on with Chopper. :D
Speaking of Chopper is he an animagus, were-deer, or tragic magic accident?
Carue owl is far too cute for my health. Dinner time but I probably have more to babble at you.
no subject
Date: 2011-07-18 02:21 am (UTC)Only Okama Kenpo can make Hogwarts a school worthy of OP-verse. 8Db I was thinking maybe of transferring Garp over to be Minister of Magic and shuffling Rayleigh into the Headmaster office. House rivalries a la Buggy and Shanks is a thing of beauty and you are genius. Madame Shirley is still a mermaid, that's why they have to hold class near the Black Lake XD Yes, Laboon lives there as well! And Zoans are definitely animagus. Brilliant!
Oh god, oh god, I absolutely LOVE the idea of Chopper being a were-deer! ONCE A MONTH DURING THE FULL MOON HE TRANSFORMS INTO....... a really cuddly herbivore with huge sparkly eyes D: OH THE HORROR.

Date: 2011-07-19 02:15 am (UTC)Saw movie brain blown and useless, I'm sobbing and inconsolable. going to reread one piece until I remember how to laugh, you know until Oda breaks my heart into a million peaces again (and again and again and again)
Garp as minister is awesome as it is terrifying.
