#25: “you’re being really bold for someone within tickling distance.”

Luna knows she's playing with fire, but that's what makes it fun.

"She acts so tough, but Ginny is really just a sweetheart," she tells Neville. "She's secretly a huge softie."

Neville chuckles, sneaking a glance up at Ginny, whose cheeks are beginning to flush. "Is that so?" he asks.

Luna nods. "Oh, yes. She'd never hurt a fly."

“You’re being really bold for someone within tickling distance," Ginny says, placing her book down and shooting a very unconvincing glare in her girlfriend's direction.

Butterflies emerge from their cocoons inside of Luna's belly at the threat, and she raises her brows as if to challenge her. "See what I mean? She can't even threaten me well."

Neville's brown eyes flick between the two girls, then he decides that he's been distracted from his homework for long enough. Once his gaze is averted, Ginny pounces on Luna from behind, arms wrapping around her waist and digging into her sides, making the Ravenclaw girl squeal.

"Is it really a threat if you were practically begging for it?" Ginny asks, her tone hushed and lips brushing the shell of Luna's ear, so that Neville doesn't hear above the sound of high-pitched, airy giggling.

About:

HP Suds Fest was born from your mods’ highkey and obsessive very relaxed and normal levels of enthusiasm for fics, fanart, and all manner of content that has our favourite ships getting wet, soapy, and clean!

We're welcoming prompts (and self-prompts) for any HP ship, involving the theme of bathing. Do you want a sexy little shower scene, or dream of angsty bathing when one half of your ship is injured? Do you swoon over your ship sweating it out in a sauna, or sipping champagne in a hot tub?

Well, come one, come all - whether you’re getting them clean, or getting them dirty, this is the fest for you!

Rules:

HP Suds Fest is a multiship fest for the Harry Potter fandom. We welcome slash, femslash, poly ships, opposite sex pairings, gen works, and solo soapy action set in any era of the Harry Potter universe. All we ask is that you get them wet! Showers, baths, hair washing, sauna shenanigans, hot tub hotness—as long as you focus on some form of splashy, soapy goodness, then we’re happy! All types of fanworks are eligible—fic, art, podfics, graphics, or moodboards. Collaborations welcome!

All participants must be 18+, no exceptions. Please abide by your local laws when creating content.

Minimum word count is 1k, no maximum.

All fics must be betaread. Please contact the mods if you have any trouble finding a beta reader and we will do our best to help!

All creators must have an AO3 account.

This is not an anonymous fest, so chatting about your creation is encouraged! But we do ask that all fanwork is new, complete, and created especially for the fest (so no WIPs, sequels/prequels, or previously-published works).

Prompting:

Prompting opens 10th August 2020 at 9am GMT (what time is that for me?)

You may submit as many prompts as you want. You do not have to be creating a work for the fest in order to post a prompt. Anyone can prompt!

You can either prompt anonymously or include your name with the prompt.

Prompt format will be as follows:

Prompter name:

Prompt:

Preferred ship(s): (if applicable, or ANY. A maximum of three can be listed)

Special Requests: (this is where you list any extra prompt details, or squicks you may have. Please be aware that the person claiming your image prompt is not required to adhere to these)

Unless specified otherwise, we will assume all prompts are open to all ratings.

You can find the prompting form here. (The form will open at 9am GMT)

Prompts will be available to view here (from 7th September 2020)

Prompting closes 6th September 2020. 

Self prompting is welcome, but you don’t need to send in a form for the 6th Sept - just put the details in to your submission email to us along with the header and we can add it to our records!

Claiming:

Claiming opens on 7th September 2020 at 9am GMT (what time is that for me?)

Prompts will be awarded on a first come first served basis.

Each prompt can be claimed once for fic and once for art.

Please choose your top three prompts when claiming, in order of preference (i.e. your top prompt as prompt choice 1, second choice as prompt choice 2, etc) as they will be awarded in this order. You are not required to fill out all three prompt choices.

You can only claim one prompt at a time. If you finish your prompt, you may claim an additional prompt. If you have finished your first prompt, and wish to claim another, please email your header to [email protected]  and let us know you wish to claim an additional prompt, before submitting another claim form.

If you claim a prompt and subsequently feel unable to complete the work, please inform us as soon as possible so that we can free the prompt up for another writer/artist. We understand that life can get in the way! Unfortunately, however, in such circumstances, you won't be eligible to claim a further prompt for 2020.

Collaborations are welcome! Please include details for all claimants in one claim form.

Please find the claiming form here. The form will become active when claiming opens 9am GMT(what time is that for me?) .

You will receive an email within 24 hours confirming your successful claim. Please respond to this email within 72 hours to confirm your participation in HP Suds Fest.

Creating:

For fics, there is a minimum word count of 1000 words and no maximum.

Submissions must be completed works, and all fics must be beta-read (if you are unable to find a beta please let us know.). All creations must be individual works, and cannot be part of a series, or a prequel/sequel to an existing work. All creations must be new and complete.

Fics and art should use the prompt as inspiration, but feel free to interpret it in your own creative way.

We encourage you to be inspired by the prompters’ additional details, but these are not required to be incorporated into the creation. You may also wish to take into consideration your prompter’s squicks when creating, but this is not a requirement — but we ask that you do not gift the creation to the prompter if you are not taking the squicks into consideration, and as always, be sure to tag your work appropriately.

Submitting:

Once you have completed your fic, it’s time to submit! 

Submissions are due on 26th October 2020, but if you are finished before this date, you are welcome to submit then.

When your work is ready to be submitted, please fill out the following header and email it to [email protected]

Further information:

For general questions about the fest don’t hesitate to contact the mods. That's what we are here for. But keep in mind that we're operating in multiple time zones, and have to juggle our real lives with the lure of fandom. We won't be available 24/7, but we always aim to respond within a reasonable timeframe.

Please note that should there be any disputes regarding the interpretation of the rules, the decision of the mods will be final.

Pansmione | 8th Year | 587 words | AO3 Link

Hermione snorted and turned a page. It was the only reaction Pansy got, and it made her want to snatch the book away so she’d focus properly.

“Why not?” she demanded. “It’s a perfectly reasonable request.”

After jotting down a note, Hermione looked up at her and merely raised an eyebrow.

“A request?”

Pansy scowled. She knew Hermione well enough now to know she was making a point. That didn’t make it any easier to figure out what that point was, however.

“I don’t see how you could see otherwise,” she said shortly, folding her arms. “It’s a fairly common practice, asking someone you like to Hogsmeade.”

The corner of Hermione’s mouth twitched, and she set her quill down and gave Pansy her full attention.

“Asking me to Hogsmeade? Is that what you did?”

Pansy stared at her. She sounded nonsensical. She was being deliberately obtuse and Pansy couldn’t figure out why. It wasn’t as if she didn’t know Pansy had a romantic interest in her, she’d made that clear more than once. It wasn’t as if she in turn wasn’t interested, she had made that clear as well.

It was about time they did something about it, so why make it so difficult?

“Have you suddenly developed hearing difficulties?” she asked spitefully. “There are spells for that, you know.”

Hermione snorted again and picked up her quill. She turned her attention back to the textbook and her notes. 

Pansy crossed her arms across her chest more tightly to prevent herself from reaching out and swatting the book away like a child throwing a tantrum.

She was missing something. 

“Oh, what have I done wrong then?” she asked. “Clearly it’s something, or you wouldn’t be acting so bloody thick-headed when we both know you’re the most intelligent witch around.”

Hermione smiled and shook her head.

“You’re not so stupid yourself, figure it out,” she said.

Pansy squinted at her. If it was anyone else, she’d think Hermione was testing her. Testing her interest. But they’d already established all that.

“Come to Hogsmeade with me tomorrow,” she repeated. “What’s so unclear about that?”

“It’s not so much unclear as it is...not a question,” Hermione said, sighing and pushing her book away. “Come on, I know you can do this. It’s not hard.”

“Not a question?” Pansy repeated indignantly. 

She opened her mouth to give Hermione a piece of mind about how dense she was acting, before suddenly closing it again with a snap.

Oh. 

It wasn’t a question. Not really. Not technically.

“Oh, you irritating twit,” she muttered, unfolding her arms and planting her hands on her hips. “Really?”

Hermione smiled up at her, looking smug. She wasn’t testing Pansy’s interest but she was sure testing her patience.

“Fine,” Pansy huffed. She would not be deterred. “Will you come to Hogsmeade with me tomorrow?”

Hermione made a considering sound, and then raised her eyebrows like she expected more.

It was easier to figure out her meaning now.

“Oh, come on,” Pansy hissed. “Really? Is it that important?”

“Is getting a yes that important?” Hermione countered, looking, if anything, even more smug.

For a moment, Pansy considered dropping the entire business and stalking off. But knowing Hermione, that would probably make her more amused than giving her what she actually wanted.

“Fine,” she said, in her most aggravated tone. “Will you come to Hogsmeade with me tomorrow, please?”
