A/N:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
seraphcelene and I are playing a game. She gives me a prompt, I drabble; I give her a prompt; she drabbles. And so on. You can see her last drabble here. Her prompt this time was: and she loves me, she's waiting for me
Maiden, Mother, Crone
Once, when the basilisk took her, she lay, lady-in-waiting for her knight to slay the serpent, save her with his sword. Later, she still waited, sleeping beauty in the castle while he fought in the war.
Later, still, he saved/slayed her with his sword; she shed the skin of maid. Remade, she bore his children; their birth brought forth the mother. She’d be killed for them, as Harry’s was for him. She’d kill for them, as hers did for her.
One day she’ll be the one her mother killed, who lived, breathed, served, died for one man.
She’s just waiting.

And this *sigh* you know I have a weakness for Ginny. You've really captured her mythological femaleness here. I hope that made sense.

Which pretty much made me a Draco/Harry shipper for life.
I am tired and totally rambling out of my head!!!!!
And for some reason, I read "save her with his sword" as literally Harry saving her with the sword of Godric Gryffindor, but also as Harry saving her with his "sword" like as a metaphor for his sex. I don't know where my head is! I've been over thinking everything of late, which makes writing nigh onto impossible. So, this read very academically for me.

Next to, I hesitate to say hyper-active females
Wow, fascinating! I never thought to group them like that, but it's absolutely true. In some senses JKR really just isn't that creative/nuanced of a writer. And in some senses, I think that's why she hit so many chords with so many different people. Those are both two really clear archetypes you point out very well (the active and the passive females, I mean).
" as literally Harry saving her with the sword of Godric Gryffindor, but also as Harry saving her with his "sword" like as a metaphor for his sex.
Er, it was supposed to be both. The line is repeated so that the first time it can mean literal sword and next time can mean cock. There's a lot of Freudian subconscious stuff in Chamber of Secrets I really could've elaborated on. I read this book once that was a retelling of Sleeping Beauty, except it retold the story again and again and a lot of it had to do with Briar Rose dreaming of/wishing for/fearing "awakening", with awakening representational of course of intercourse. Add the snakes in HP and you've got so many places to go!
Thanks for rambling out of your head. It all made sense to me!
