Harry Potter: Deus Ex Machina by Silvia

Deus Ex Machina (Harry/Draco | G | 2,322 words) has Draco deciding that he's going to defeat Harry once and for all by writing epic poetry. The story's very funny because, you know, everything that happens makes some kind of logical sense to Draco. But leaves everyone else baffled about what just happened. Lovely, snappy dialogue.

Excerpt:
"Quite sending your drones to stalk us!" Ron demanded loudly, marching over to the Slytherin table during lunch.

Draco mildly returned his gaze. "Have you ever considered that it's not always me putting everyone up to everything?

"No," Ron stated emphatically. "Because it is."

"Perhaps it's simply your irresistible cheery disposition."

"..."

"Maybe he's simply a small yellow flower, and you are the sun towards which he turns."

"..."

"There are no words that describe the depth of my hate for you," Ron said.

"Wait, can you repeat that? " Draco said excitedly, feeling about his pockets, "I'm going to write that one down."
