Final word drabble challenge!

This has been going on for more than a month, accordinng to bluestocking79, and I don't want it to die now! All drabble writing friends are invited to respond; the first person who responds gets to host next week's challenge and choose the final word.

Here are the rules, as I understand them: you may write a single or double drabble; any subject or characters you like, but it must end with the word of the week.

Last week's word was "robes". Please visit bluestocking79's journal to see all the excellent stories that resulted. This week, I'm going to stick with the sartorial theme. The word is "shoes".

Wow, how perfectly this continues on from the original drabble, and yet it incorporates this week's word! Really well done. I love the simple kindness of Severus wanting to warm Luna's feet.

Thanks! I have cut a passage about schoolmates hiding Luna's shoes - and it was that hint at bullying which moved Severus - but the story fell at 142 words. It's a bit of a heartbreak when you don't know if you want to expand to 200 or cut down at 100.

I sympathize; I've done that a few times myself. To expand or contract? That is the question...
