Challenge: Oral
Word Count: 100
Note: this is what happened after the missionary left….
Severus slammed the door and bolted it, then spelled the porch to repel strangers who arrived with religious literature. "That should take care of - why are you laughing?"
Remus snickered. It hadn't been funny when the missionary burst into tears at being rudely lectured on the inadvisability of relying on oral tradition. But the way Severus had turned the tables -
"You're a genius." He reclaimed the remnants of the Lubavitcher, Jews for Jesus, Hare Krishna, Scientologist, and Mormon literature that Severus stuffed into the girl's handbag.
"As long as they leave us alone, I don't care" murmured Severus.

oh man, plot bunny attacking me liek whoa.

Date: 2006-09-06 08:56 pm (UTC)I once had a friend, a sweet, demure young lady (and I do mean lady..I never heard a unkind word come out of her mouth) who invited in the two young Jehovah witnesses who had knocked on her door. Many hours and even more cups of tea later, they left and she was never bothered again by anyone bearing religious tracts. Why? Well, as a good Catholic girl, she had done *her* best to convert *them*. Which made me wonder if they left some kind of sign, you know, like the tramps in the 30s had: Wackko woman lives here.
I wonder if Mary Lou ever met Snape?

"Are you a Lutheran?"
"No, but I read German and the translation is wonderful!"
*pause* "Well, don't you think every child needs God?"
"Of course! And a teddy bear!"
Now...this woman collected antique teddy bears. She had a teddy bears' picnic on her hearth, teddy bears on her front staircase, and some teddy bears on the sofa. The missionaries could see them quite clearly from the front door.
At the word that every child needs a teddy bear, the missionaries went away, and not a single missionary, of any type, bothered her again. Mrs. N said that if they did, though, she planned to them that God was a teddy bear....
