Ardelia by Deoceres (Becky) Rating: G Story: Random insanity involving Ardelia and her wonderful cardigans. Set during SOTL, off canon and OOC. Dedicated to one of my friends...the only person who seems to find this story funny, lol. (This fic is the result of boredom and apparently way too much free time on my hands at college) (Ardelia's thoughts) Oh god! My head is spinning...Mr. Crawford just told me the news. Lecter has escaped. That statement causes even the loud colours on my cardigan to fade with fear. I have to go find Clarice and tell her! I run as fast as I can down through the corridor to our dorm room.... (end Ardelia) (Random guy in corridor) What the hell was that? There was just this blur of brightly coloured wool... (end Random guy) (Ardelia) At...door....*pant*... I break the news to Clarice. She seemed really worried....I think my cardigan is making her a little edgy. Oh, she keeps saying Lecter won't come for her...ah....ok. I'm worried about her.... (end Ardelia) (After graduation) (Clarice) Oh god...Dr. Lecter just phoned me...thank god...he said he hasn't got any plans to kill me...There's 'Delia. At least she isn't wearing one of those damned ugly cardigans....I'd better tell her what happened.... (end Clarice) (Ardelia) It's a relief that Lecter said he wouldn't call on Clarice. I'm gonna go to bed now...I lay a brand new cardigan out on the chair ready for tomorrow... (end Ardelia) (A few hours later) (Doctor Lecter) I promised I wouldn't call on Clarice...I said nothing about leaving a 'reminder' of me with her room mate.....I sneak through the darkness of the room, harpy drawn, and...oh god, what is THAT? Disturbing 80's cardigan....hmm...I somehow don't think someone with such fashion sense is worth my time....I'm going home. (Dr. Lecter) And so, the day is saved, thanks to Ardelia's lack of fashion sense! Fin
