Author's Notes: Yes, I am definitely one of those people who think, "Oh God no, I can't write crack to save my life," but since the mods asked so nicely, I decided to give it a shot. ;)

He'd been just about to attack when he realized how beautiful his victim was, her wide eyes gleaming in the torch light. Taken aback, he hesitated, drawn to the ruffled fur, the lithe body, the little paws. Closing his eyes, he lowered himself, eager to be closer to this lovely little creature.

She meowed and pressed against him; he hissed with pleasure and licked her neck. Purring, the cat rubbed more eagerly against his scales, her long tail curling seductively in the air. It was lucky no intruders were about; they were entirely alone in the corridor, which had suddenly become their own private love chamber.

As they entangled, hissing and meowing with growing intensity, he suddenly found himself desperate to see her, to stare reverently into those glowing, emotional eyes. Before he could stop himself, realize what he was doing, his eyes flew open and devoured her form, stirring his blood into a frenzy.

Unfortunately, his beloved Mrs. Norris caught the reflection of his gaze and immediately froze, her once graceful twists transforming into a stiff, motionless form. Realizing his mistake, the basilisk began to sob, adding a substantial amount of water to the puddle on the castle floor.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Love! xD I thought it was really cute, honestly. The poor basilik is doomed with staying alone for the rest of his life! Tragic... His sobs are justified.

Haha, thank you! Nobody ever thinks about the poor dark creatures, how will they ever find true love? ;)

So that's what happened... Very clever! (But oh, the poor basilisk...)

[brightflower]

Haha, thanks! =)

What better way to tackle crack than by making people feel bad for a beast of evil, right? lol, thanks so much! =)
