The Very Model of a Modern Major Slytherin

...but I'm feeling what is no doubt an excessive amount of optimism after getting so many little things caught up tonight, and it's just such a cool idea...

This entire post/idea is totally ripped off from woldy, by the way. Credit/blame her. :P

Actually, it would seem that The Why We Broke Up Project is largely to blame. I clicked on woldy's link and discovered that this site is a disturbingly addictive little time-suck. And I might not have been able to resist putting in a "story" of my own.

Anyway! This site led to a meme. Wording stolen directly from woldy:

Give me a pairing, and I'll tell you something about the reasons, circumstances, or consequences of their breakup.

Answers will be 1-2 sentences. It should go without saying that if you never want to imagine your OTP breaking up, then don't give me that pairing to write about.

And my own rules/addendums:
1. Let's keep it to HP or Tin Man this time so as not to strain my already overworked brain.
2. I reserve the right to also potentially write something about how they made up, 'cause I'm a sucker like that sometimes, although I promise to keep the happy endings to a minimum. ;D
3. I make no guarantees that these will all get written. Refer back to not straining my brain excessively. But I am hoping this'll be good as a writing kick-starting exercise. :)
