Here, have a waffle.

No?
Are you sure, no more waffles? [skeptical]
Oh dear, are you sure you don't need anymore waffles?
Oh--but--well, if you ever hear them calling your name then you may--

*silence*

Oh. I didn't--
Well, waffles are a very good source of-- [sheepishly]
I do understand, of course.
What? What did you just say? [affronted]
That was me again, wasn't it?
Oh, silly me.
Are you really sure you don't want a waffle?
Oh, but waffles are such a delight.
You don't see them? [disbelief]

*silence*

You don't see the waffles?
M' dear, how could you not see them?
They're piping hot, and so sweet, are you okay?
Are you sure you don't need this waffle?

I read an awesomely written fanfiction. A Harry Potter fanfiction, if I may add. With interesting and quirky twists. Oh dear, no waffles of course, no waffles.

Eilun, maybe you could read it and consider it for another fic recommendation?

It's: Harry Potter and The Methods of Rationality
By: Less Wrong

Quick summary (of what I've read):

Harry Potter does not live in an abusive household. He's under the care of Aunt Petunia, who has married some scientist of sorts. Harry Potter grows up, following his stepfather's footsteps into Science and its wonders *sighs enviously* Professor Mcgonagall takes him all around Diagon Alley, only to find out he's no ordinary child (the arguments in Harry's brain is a little too advanced for me...) He gets sorted into Ravenclaw with Hermione and they start a sort of competition on gaining points. There is a particular potions lesson wherein he managed to spark a reasonable argument with Professor Snape, and that in turn leads to a scene in the Headmaster's office, where Harry begins to reason how Professor Snape's actions and verbal abuse will scar "young, vulnerable" children for eternity.

Professor Snape and Harry apologise publicly (Snape 'regretting' his verbal abuse to the "young, vulnerable" children and Harry for disrupting the Potions Lesson).

It's really intriguing. :D

Hope you enjoy~
