Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/12350003/6/The cabinet's doors creaked open, and out stepped an inhumanly beautiful woman with almond-shaped eyes, pointy ears, and ethereal white hair that cascaded down her back like fresh snow. She was attired in a flowing dress that flaunted her cleavage and accentuated her breathtaking figure. There was a collective gasp from the boys in the classroom, and Harry himself gulped at the sight.
"Harry," the vision said in a sultry voice, bending forward and nearly spilling out of her dress, "I want you to listen to me very, very carefully."
"Uh huh," he said, completely forgetting where he was.
"I'm not real. I won't ever be real. Do you understand?"
He looked up at her soulless eyes in dismay. "No..."
"Your dream is juvenile and meaningless," she said, her hips swaying as she closed the distance between them. "There is no magic that will help you cross the barrier between 2D and 3D."
Those cruel words cut him to the heart, yet Harry couldn't shut his ears to her melodious voice. His eyes roved over her elfin features and well-endowed chest, not being able to look away from this flawless, unattainable vision.
Unattainable... yet standing an arm's reach away.
"You claim the barrier cannot be crossed," he said, the corners of his lips twitching upwards, "but you did just that, didn't you?"
He stepped forward and the woman shrank away, an alarmed expression flitting across her face.
"Your family will never accept you for who you are," she said, backtracking. "Everyone thinks you're weird. Y-your favorite anime is shit—"
"Elf boobies," Harry murmured, barely listening as he extended his hands towards the pointy-eared goddess. He would ascertain just how authentic the illusion was.
The Boggart was beginning to blur around the edges. As Harry drew close, it suddenly morphed into a bug-eyed alien wearing a red-and-green striped sweater, then a skinless humanoid, then a boar with worms crawling over its rotting skin, too quickly for him to get scared; lastly, it became a cloud of smoke which rushed into the cabinet, the double doors slamming shut on their own.
An absolute silence reigned in the room. Harry remained still, staring into the distance until the sound of Professor Lupin clearing his throat brought him back to reality.
"Er... you didn't use the spell I taught you, but well done nevertheless," Remus said.
