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|:)
