And on the second day, Skoosie created Neville's operative unit, and bestowed upon him a rat terrier named Sal.

*grins* Any dog named Sal would have to be.

yah, it's a tough name.

“The last of it,” he said, passing the bundle to Neville before crouching down to poke at Sal. “I’ll miss this little shithead.”

Sal yipped menacingly and the cage door rattled.

“Meanest rat-dog I’ve ever come across.”

[veracity]

Hee! Who passed Sal to him!?

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

That would be Luis, a Muggle criminal helping Nev. *grins*

[veracity]

Ooh! Intersocietial help. *grins*

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

He's got a very bit part, but I'm thinking I could bring him back later. Like The Owl.

[veracity]

*grins* and Sal.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Oh, Sal will be with him all the way back to France. Yappy little devil. Haven't decided if he's going to hate Colin-the-terrier or not.

[veracity]

No one is allowed to hate Colin in any form. Just saying. ;)

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

You're right. Colin is decidely unhateable in my eyes.

[veracity]

He's too cute to be hateable.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

And offbeat and quirky. You can't help but smile at his antics.

[veracity]

Well, your Colin anyway. Mine wouldn't be as much fun I think.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I have to be in a certain mindset to write Colin correctly. I can't ever get into his head. I can only write him from another person's perspective.

[veracity]

I can't even do that. I reworked on story and later found out I couldn't put it up because it had be a Fic exchange. I had a triangle though Ginny wanted Hermione, Herm who was engaged to Ron, and Colin wanted Ginny (but stayed in the best friend role). The only time I've written him I think.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

well, if he didn't turn out creepy, then you're sucessful. I dislike creepy creevey characterizations.

[veracity]

Me too. That's why he was the best friend. He was a good shoulder, a dependable one, even when his heart was shattering. Even had a "nice" Snape moment.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

nice snape moment, eh? Isn't that a bit of an oxymoron. heh.

[veracity]

Yep. But was the shock factor. He wasn't "nice" so much as civil maybe. His observation bring that to light what she wants to hide.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

all right. I can see him being civil. In certain situations.

[veracity]

This was also post war.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Ooooo, post war. Is he all broody and wise?

[veracity]

No, he was just observation, but inclined to speak to the littlest Weasley.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I have a fondness for disdainful, blunt Snape. Not mean, necessarily, or smug, but still... lofty, I suppose. I think.

[veracity]

Yes, that. He was rather...suprised by her bravery. Made a difference.
