Three silly drabbles for the current Preposterice challenge! I think of them as the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. All are gen (though Hermione is definitely married in at least one of them), precisely 100 words long, and set post DH and PG. I am not JK Rowling or any Hollywood studio, do not own, and am not making any money out of this.

Hermione Granger and the Amulet of Antiquity: three variations.

A less well known war poem by a WWI veteran, adapted from Anglo Saxon, because some things about war do not change.

"Where now the horse and rider? Where is the horn that was blowing?
Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?
Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing?
Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing?
They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow;
The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.
Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning,
Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?"

JRR Tolkien, The Two Towers, ch 6.
