Writing again!

Writing again! - Harry Potter (well, Hermione Granger) fanfic set during Book Six of the Potter series, of all improbabilities.
The usual mixture of euphoria at writing anything at all, coupled with subsequent deep depression at the results, which are fine in parts but definitely flabby so far as what was intended as the actual plot-line is concerned (the emerging theme of the story appears to be loneliness and lack of friends, which doesn't -- and cannot, given the state of canon at this point! -- get resolved by the plot at all).
So I'm managing to turn this intended plot-driven throwaway one-shot into a multi-part 'darkfic'... what a surprise... I'm not sure it's going to be eligible for the intended fanfic challenge, even if I get it finished in time!
I fear this is going to end up as a Seldom What They Seem rather than a Water-horse, though; good in parts, but not a satisfactory whole.
