The fact that the performers would gleefully act it out on camera if the show were still in production?

Matt, you're my favorite Bruins fan. You would be anyway, of course, but particularly for that trenchant observation.

(And for giving me the opportunity to use the word "trenchant".

Especially when he's grinning . . .

Though the meaning would all depend on why he was grinning.

Hm, the elements "Harry--tied up--begging--not trying to escape" just tiptoed through my head.

Is that some kind of hint about what you want in this story? I thought Draco was describing-- perfectly innocently though perhaps with a little mocking of Hagrid's accent-- how Hagrid had returned a wild creature to its cage. "One hand holding t'wings, and he just throost it back in."

Oh, it could be that, too, certainly!

"Draco" -- "innocently" . . . no, the two words repel each other like two magnets that don't line up.

"Draco" -- "innocently" . . . no, the two words repel each other like two magnets that don't line up.

For some reason, this is starting to look more an more like a specific challenge. Prompts: the word "throost", bondage, and Draco attempting innocence. Because bringing together the apparently utterly incompatible is something of a trend in my fiction.

(Your tagline, in a roundabout way, reminds me of an epigram I once heard: "For years a secret same destroyed my peace/ I'd not read Eliot, Auden, or McNiece,/ But now I think I thought that gives me hope/ Neither had Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Pope.")

Specific challenge? Well, Draco could really *be* innocently mocking Hagrid and someone else could be having the entendres haunting him. Draco protesting authentic innocence could be amusing.
