Coming soon: final chapter of A Little Risk

“Padfoot and I were always top of the class when it came to rhetoric and debating,” James said, sounding smug.

“Oh I could beat you in a debating contest, on any topic,” Sirius looked at Remus as though throwing him a gauntlet.

“I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but I see you are unarmed,” Remus replied, flicking some dust from Sirius’ jacket.

“Prongso thinks I’m a wit,” Sirius’ eyes lit up in delight at the reply.

“Well, he’s half right,” Remus patted Sirius’ thigh in condolence as Lily turned around and grinned at him.

“I say, a bit harsh, what?” James cackled from the front seat.

“Ah yes, words of wisdom from his other half,” Lily looked at Remus, left eyebrow raised.

“The other half of his wit?” Remus asked innocently.

I've seen the same post a hundred times now. Sometimes it's a few days old, sometimes it's from years ago, but it's always the same. Some anti posts about how they don't understand how anyone can like Snape because he was so awful, and then there's a long reply that goes something like, "imagine this happens to you, and then this, and then this" to describe Snape's experience. Sometimes there's some James Potter hate thrown in.

Look. You can go through describing a character's entire experience but you don't really need to. Here's the thing that antis don't understand:

For all her faults (and they're big, bigoted ones) Rowling understood a really integral part of the human experience and conveyed it through Snape. Everyone needs love and to feel accepted. It's that simple. Snape became a Death Eater to seek acceptance (Rowling has confirmed this, though I can't remember the source - whoever wants to add it please do), because it was the only way he could find any.

Snape's understanding of morality, like everyone's, is subjective. Some readers understand this and some don't. When faced against a morality that says there is good and bad in the world, everyone makes choices based on their personal experience. Context is everything. Someone who experiences pain and suffering will not see the person inflicting it on them as moral. That's it. 'How can this person be good when they caused me so much suffering?' = human psychology. Most of the people who think 'I'm a bad person and deserve this' have been gaslit and abused into thinking so, because it's not a natural reaction - it's one that has to often be socialized into someone at a young age, exactly because it's not natural. Everyone is the hero of their own story; no one sees themselves as a villain, because they see the valid aspects of their own perspective.

You can write essays on how vulnerable people needing acceptance is what cults and fascists exploit to recruit vulnerable people, or on how the standard anti's un-nuanced reading of Snape both ignores canon and displays a disturbing lack of empathy or compassion, but at its core it just boils down to context. From Snape's perspective he experienced cruelty, therefore the people inflicting it must be cruel. Again, it's that simple. He was a person, like any other, except he was fictional so he wasn't even real. On the flip side is James Potter, who, for all his faults, didn't get to live long enough to get a chance to change and grow unlike Snape, and I think the Snapedom also needs to acknowledge that.

They're fictional characters representing things an author wants to say, not sports teams, not martyrs, and not all good or all bad emblems that define your identity depending on how you feel about them. It's depressing how much time is wasted arguing with bullies and trolls whether from the Marauders fandom or just random antis. I literally can't find more than three blogs to follow without this argument coming across my feed daily. I know the Snapedom is Not OK™ and that's kind why we're all here, and I know that my take is super unpopular but like Snape, I don't care what others think: this fandom has been having the exact same argument for years and nothing has changed. There's fanart and meta and fic and so much content out there appreciating this character, you're not going to change an anti's mind who's deliberately trolling in the tags, so why are you trying? What are you getting out of it? What does it give you? It's exhausting just scrolling past it.

#The thing about morality is that it's subjective #the religious leader who's a beacon of moral purity to their congregation #is a source of selfishness and pain to someone they abuse in secret #is that abuse victim immoral for rejecting the values the religious leader represents? #the congregation might think so because their definition of morality relies on the religious leader being a moral guide #the victim might not think so though because how can something be righteous if it causes suffering #look this is just an example of how perspectives can vary and I know there are more possible takes on that example #my point is that the idea that there's no clear 'good' and 'evil' there's only power/what you do with it is actually how psychology works #'good' to one person can be pain to another #'scourgify' is an innocuous household spell that cleans stains until it's used to waterboard someone #context matters more than labels like 'light' and 'dark' magic

presenting myself

hi, I'm deirdre, an 18 year old androgynous bi girl (she/they) and a writer from Brazil

LATINA BABY

here i reblog things and post my drawings just for the fun of it

I'm communist and marxism has been one of my special interests for a while along with mental health and neurodivergencies, nct and harry potter

i am potterhead but i do NOT support jkr and i encourage the lgbt fans to reclaim the fandom and do not support spending money on official products

I have religious trauma, I'm mentally ill (ocd and depression) including a complicated eating disorder (arfid together with restriction-binge cycle), chronic migraine and i am neurodivergent (late diagnosed adhd). i talk a lot about these things not only because it's my experience but also bc psychology is one of my SI

I'm a marauders era fan

i ship wolfstar, drarry, hinny (in sapphic hinny fics), ronmione, jily (others are just fanfic ships)

I'm stating to become interested in the hunger games and the last of us btw

anti or pro ship i simply don't give a fuck, not attacking me bc of my ships and fanfictions is all i ask

i used to be obsessed with kpop (nct, bts, blackpink) until i was 16 but i like kpop blogs!!

same with mcu!!

im an anti-capitalism radical leftist as you may have guessed (marxist) so liberalists get the fuck out and also FASCISTS SHOULD FOLLOW THEIR LEADERS AND FUCKING [redacted]

I'm an intersectional feminist btw

i curse a LOT so if you care go away

religious ppl are okay as long as they are not racist and support lgbt rights

DNFI RADQUEERS AND TERFS!

DNF: pro mogai, pro-xenogender, biphobes, ppl who exclude trans binary/non-binary/genderqueer/agender people, MAPS, non-trauma systems, fat activists

i believe in transmed and this does not exclude emby ppl just says you need to have SOME level of dysphoria to be trans and/or emby

i may follow ed blogs but won't repost on this acc unless it's about arfid (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder, avoidant subtype)

I'm a very history and science-oriented person

for the above reason i do not support mogai/xenos, non-bisexual mspec sexualities and fat acceptance

I was supposed to have caught up with A Little Risk by now, but I have to be honest, I keep putting it off because I don't want it to end 😪😫😪

It's like a delicious dessert you want to savor

Loved that last comment- Seeing your reviews on A Little Risk gives me life!! 🧁 🍦 🍰

#mabel is the best!! #thank you love #ALR asks #A Little Risk #murder mystery marauders au #anti fascist marauders fic #1930s au #Jily & Wolfstar #loveliest tumblr friends

[blitheringmcgonagall]

How come you haven’t posted any new chapters of A Little Risk recently?

Anon sadly I’ve been super extremely busy at work and haven’t had a minute. And then on holidays with family. Hopefully by end of July or early august I’ll be finished it and that’ll be the final chapter!!

Detective Inspector Remus Lupin is certainly very interested to see how it all ends and hoping his gunshot wound doesn’t kill him…

So is Private Eye Lily Evans (who has a lot of bamf action coming up and hopes Lord Regulus isn’t going to shoot her)…

And Dr James Potter certainly hopes it ends the way he’s wishing…

And The Duke of Grimmauld is desperately hoping that things with the beautiful DI work out too, despite the Nazi attack…

(Lord Regulus is frankly hoping he doesn’t end up killed off as is so often his want 😬😬😬😬 - @jamesandthedog looking at you!)

And Snape is … never mind…

#you are a star #🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 #thank you so much #a little risk #murder mystery marauders au #anti fascist marauders fic #ALR asks #loveliest tumblr friends

[blitheringmcgonagall]

Thanks for tagging me @enbysiriusblack @squintclover and @mppmaraudergirl 💕💕💕!

1. how many works do you have on ao3?

33 (I had more, but every few months I delete 1-2 things I’m not mad about so it doesn’t grow?)

2. what's your total ao3 word count?

612,715 🥰🥰🥰

3. what fandoms do you write for?

Only the marauders era HP

4. what are your top 5 fics by kudos?

1 - We Can Be Heroes : my canon marauders fic (Jily and Wolfstar) with the ending they bloody well deserved

2 - it was A Little Risk which is a 1930s murder mystery/Anti-fascist AU but I’ve taken it down!

3 - Boys Don’t Cry: the prequel to We Can Be Heroes. A prank fic mostly from Sirius Black’s POV (pre relationships).

4 - Maybe I Waited Too Long - a doctors!marauders AU with Wolfstar and Jily. I had a laugh writing this one.

5 - This Is The Way The World Ends - it’s heartbreaking and a canon divergent Wolfstar AU about Remus getting bad news…

5. do you respond to comments? why or why not?

I always usually do, it’s one of the main reasons I love writing fics!! Without the interaction I wouldn’t bother posting istg!! People can be so kind and generous 🥺❤️

6. what is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Probably number 5 because it has MCD and apparently made people cry? But equally, I did write 3 short fics about 31st October 1981 from Jily, Sirius and Remus’ POV and that was pretty heartbreaking/ ugly crying stuff.

7. what is a fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Most of my fics have happy endings it’s probably a toss-up between We Can Be Heroes and Have Yourself a Merry Little Wolfenoot

9. do you write smut? if so, what kind?

Nope! All mine are either T rated or fade to black

10. do you write crossovers? what's the craziest one you've written?

I’ve only ever written one, a LOTR/Marauders crossover, and I actually had great fun trying to write it in LOTR style? Wolfstar are Éowyn and Faramir. It’s called Ithilin and Silmë (only wrote it because @therealrjlupin wanted it 💙)

11. have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not as far as I know!

12. have you ever had a fic translated?

I did! It was a Jily celebrity AU translated into Chinese that I thought wasn’t any good and have since deleted 😂😂!

13. have you ever co-written a fic before?

Once. It’s a WIP crackfic called One Line At A Time written with @mppmaraudergirl @theresthesnitch @missgryffin @mabeltothknows and @maraudersftw and it still makes me laugh, it’s bonkers I love them <3333

14. what's your all time favourite ship?

I’m sorry it’s so weird but I insist on putting Wolfstar and Jily/ Jily and Wolfstar tied for top spot, I just love these two couples so much <3333

15. what's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

I don’t keep WIPs that I’m not planning on finishing (I delete or orphan those), but the one I’d like to finish is BLAME (a what if…? First war AU)

16. what are your writing strengths?

I have zero clue sorry you’d have to ask someone who likes my writing. I mean I’ve made people cry so there’s that?? 😬🤣

17. what are your writing weaknesses?

Again, v hard to be objective aside from vague “it’s not great” stuff? I think it has improved with writing practice and with time.

18. thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I’ve done it in We Can Be Heroes - James speaks fluent Italian and Sirius speaks fluent French. As I can speak the languages it was ok, but I had to check with @constancezin to be sure the written French was ok!

19. first fandom you wrote for?

HP marauders

20. favourite fic you've written?

A Little Risk is the favourite thing I’ve written but I’ve taken it down, so my favourite marauders fic I’ve written and is still up is We Can Be Heroes or This Is The Way The World Ends.

Tagging @engie-ivy @mabeltothknows @therealrjlupin @annabtg @maraudersftw @greyeyedmonster-18 and anyone else who wants to <33

Self rec time! Recc one of your fluff fics, one angst, one multichaptered, one AU and send this to your favourite writers 💟💟

@littlejeanniebean this has been in my ask box for ages and ages 🥰🥰☺️☺️😘😘 thank you so much you star! I hope you are keeping well xxxxx

A Fluffy fic: Have Yourself a Merry Little Wolfnoote

James and 5 yr old Harry gang up on (aka wing-people) uncles Moony and Padfoot - who can resist that combination? 😂

An angsty fic: This is the Way the World Ends

Being a werewolf comes with physical health consequences… prepare to bawl 😭

A multichapter fic: We Can Be Heroes

You know the one - the proper, actual canon marauders story from the prank to Hallowe’en 1981 (plenty of angst and drama but not the excessively angsty AU that stupid JKR wrote where they all died - that was ridiculous, no idea why people take that angst-fest ending as canon!?! 😉

An AU fic: A Little Risk

I JUST FINISHED THIS FIC! Detective Inspector Remus Lupin investigated the murder of Orion Black, Duke of Grimmauld, with his friend Lily Evans (Private Investigator). Among the suspects are the firstborn son of the duke - Sirius Black - and his best friend Dr James Potter. Snape is awful. A murder mystery with an anti-fascist plot 😎

I will tag @magic-girl-in-a-muggle-world @stonecoldhedwig @nymphadoratonqs @mollymarymarie @squintclover @impishtubist @greyeyedmonster-18 @mabeltothknows @ghost-of-bambi @artemisia-black @bcdaily @theresthesnitch @mppmaraudergirl @practicecourts @frustratedpoetwrites @women-inthe-sequel @petalstofish @elder-millennial-trash @engie-ivy to name but a few of you beautiful people ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

#sweet asks! #thank you so much #loveliest tumblr friends #ask games #self rec #marauders fics

[blitheringmcgonagall]

Hi friend! I'd love to hear your answers for 1 and/or 12 <3

@billsfangearring thank you so much you star! 🥰🥰🥰 <333

1. What’s the fic you’re most proud of?

Overall, I think We Can Be Heroes which is my canon marauders fic - mostly because it took me 3 years to write but also because I got to love the characters so much and met so many lovely people from the Jily and Wolfstar fandom through the comments, some of them are now my friends! Also the happy ending? Such a fxck you to JKR, I loved that!

But from the point of view of making up a story, then definitely A Little Risk, because I can’t believe I managed to write a murder mystery story and I’m actually happy with it (although once I’ve finished posting it I’m going to go back and change some stuff to make it a bit better) especially with the anti fascist part because god knows we need to be on our guard against extreme far right awfulness still…

Considering I started out with

Remus is a tired, cranky Detective

Sirius is a duke with an attractive neck ( @jamesandthedog 😂) and a secret

Lily is Irish and a badass

James is an anti-fascist Italian doctor

Snape is a wanker

And no idea who the murderer even was

I think it was a success??? Lmao, on last chapter now!

#lovely asks #fic writers asks #loveliest tumblr friends

[blitheringmcgonagall]

So I’ve been MIA for a while but I’m sort of nearly back, or hoping to be! Fingers crossed that work calms down! I finally FINALLY finished the next chapter of this fic, I hope you enjoy some punching fascists etc…

This chapter is for @signifiquint - wishing you a belated birthday, you beautiful person, I hope you enjoy this chapter and thank you for all your beautiful writing in the past week, all gorgeous! 🥳🥳🥳🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘👏👏👏

Thanks as always to @purplechimera8 who is stellar, as ever <333 and without whom this wouldn’t be a thing at all…

Chapter 12 : Easy to Love

Previously...

“Potter, here!” Diggory shouted, throwing the other sword at the doctor, who caught it deftly.

“Nice one, James,” said the duke approvingly, as James started parrying with the Chief Inspector.

“Get down, Diggory, you fool!” shouted Lily, shoving the young man to the ground, and firing back at Lestrange and the other man.

“I might love you, Evans,” James called over, not taking his eyes off his enemy.

“I won a medal at Hogwarts in fencing,” Snape said, advancing confidently towards James and driving the rapier toward his opponent's ribs.

“Figurati (imagine that),” replied James, parrying back with ease, and knocking his blade against his opponent’s. “I don’t suppose you ever heard of Florimondo Ciuffetelli, Italian Olympic gold medalist in Fencing?”

He riposted expertly, and Snape stumbled backwards, trying to hold him at bay.

“That was my father,” James said. “He was a good teacher.”

There was a warm wet feeling spreading down James’ right arm. He braced himself to fleche — a lunging run, quick and deadly. Snape dropped his weapon, momentarily defenceless. James hesitated.

“Brawny instead of brainy,” Snape said, taking out his gun.

Chapter 6 :  A Pretty Pass

Things have come to a pretty pass Our romance is growing flat, For you like this and the other While I go for this and that,

Goodness knows what the end will be Oh I don't know where I'm at It looks as if we two will never be one Something must be done:

Let's Call The Whole Thing Off (Ella Fitzgerald) 1937

The man was leaning back against the chair, looking between Lily Evans and Chief Inspector Snape, a bored expression. He looked to be in his early thirties, a tanned, weather beaten face, strong arms.

“Why am I here?” he asked.

She was struck by how confident he sounded, and how nice it was to hear that in someone with such a working-class accent. No bowing to authority. It wasn’t going down very well with Snape. Snape, who had once upon a time sported a very similar accent, one that had utterly disappeared once he started in Hogwarts College. Her Irish lilt- Dublin lower middle class- confused the Brits; they couldn’t classify her.

“You know very well why you are here,” Snape said.

The man scoffed.

“Accused of stealing something from the Big House,” he said. “As though I’d want to get my hands on anything that those bastards own!”

Snape bristled. Lily gave Ted Tonks a look, steady on, don’t get on his nerves.

“Of course you would, Tonks, don’t give me that!”

“Why would I steal from them when I know I’m not welcome there, when I know they’ll recognise me?”

“What were you doing in the gardens if you weren’t stealing?”

Silence.

“Did somebody invite you?” Lily asked, willing him to say something helpful, to defend himself.

“No.”

“Was it something to do with Lady Andromeda? Were you hoping to speak with her?” she tried again.

He set his jaw.

“No.”

“So you expect us to believe that you were wandering around the gardens of Slytherin House, for no reason at all?” Snape said.

“You didn’t find anything on me, did you?” Tonks said, glaring at Snape. “You can charge me with trespassing if you like, but not fucking stealing!”

Snape’s lip curled.

“Mr. Tonks, my men are currently searching your home, no doubt they will find something incriminating there,” he said. “This is not the first time you have been spotted near the premises.”

Lily stared at Snape. He sounded too confident.

“What do you mean?” she said.

“I mean that a member of staff has told us that they have seen Tonks hanging about the house on a number of occasions in the past.”

“So, you arrested Mr Tonks because he may have stolen something from the house in the past, rather than now?” she said.

“Miss Evans, be quiet, I know what I’m doing here!”

Lily bit her tongue.

She couldn’t stand the man. Maybe she should make herself unavailable for any further involvement in this investigation? She had thought that countless times in the past two days but that would mean leaving Lupin in the lurch and increasing the chances of a perversion of justice.

“Search all you like, Snape,” Tonks said, cockily, folding his arms over his chest. “You won’t find anything.”

Shit. Shit. Shit.

She wouldn’t put anything past the bastards.

“Perhaps I should go with the others to make sure we search his house thoroughly?” she said.

Snape looked at her approvingly, which made her feel ill.

“No need, Miss Evans, your… friend, Mr Lupin, has gone with Carrow, I’m sure even Lupin is able to search a house.”

She nodded. She really wanted to kick his shins. There was a knock on the door of the Interview Room. Snape smiled.

“Come in?”

Carrow and Lupin entered. She knew something was wrong by Lupin’s gait.

“Thank you, Sir,” said Carrow, puffing his chest out. “We’ve just come from searching this man’s premises, Sir, and we found this, Sir.”

He was wearing gloves. He carefully opened a sealed bag. Inside was a silver coffee pot. She looked at Lupin.

“Lupin, have you ever seen this coffee pot in Slytherin House?” Snape asked.

“Yes, in the Duchess’s Study,” Remus replied, looking uncomfortable.

“You found that? In my house? Fuck off!” Tonks laughed. “As if I’d steal a bloody coffee pot and leave it lying around like that! That’s ridiculous! How would I even sell it around here?”

“Lupin, even someone as stupid as you must know that this coffee pot is expensive, am I right?”

Lily could feel her cheeks growing red with anger.

“Did you just call Detective Inspector Lupin stupid, Chief?” she said, trying to reign in her temper.

“Don’t get your knickers in a twist, Evans,” said Snape. “I’m joking.”

He looked angry. Carrow laughed aloud. Tonks was now looking between them, a confused expression on his face. She was wondering if she could move her intentions from kicking Snape’s shins to kicking his balls.

“Birds have no sense of humour,” Carrow smirked.

“Lupin, how much is that coffee pot worth, in your opinion?” Snape said.

Remus’ hands were clenched tightly by his side.

“A lot of money,” he said.

“Sir,” said Snape.

“No need to call me Sir, Chief,” Remus replied.

Lily could feel a laugh bubbling inside her, she grinned at him, delighted. Remus bit the side of his lip.

“That coffee pot is worth over £100,000,” Snape said.

“Holy fuck!” Tonks said. His face was white.

“I didn’t steal it, I swear!” he said to Lily.

“I am remanding you in custody. You’ll be spending a long time in prison, Tonks,” Snape said. “Take him away.”

Remus Lupin hadn’t moved.

“I said take him away!” Snape’s voice rose.

“I swear I didn’t take it! Why would I steal that and leave it lying around! This is a set-up!” Ted Tonks shouted.

A Little Risk

Chapter 3 : There May Be Trouble Ahead

Notes:

Happy Birthday @ashes-and-ashes​, you wonderfully gifted writer and lovely friend! Anyone interested in great Wolfstar (and the only Drarry I usually ever read!) you should check out their writing immediately xoxoxo

There may be trouble ahead, But while there's music and moonlight, And love and romance, Let's face the music and dance. Before the fiddlers have fled, Before they ask us to pay the bill, And while we still have that chance,

Let's face the music and dance.

Let's Face The Music and Dance (1934)  from The Gay Divorcee

“Answer the question, Lord Grimmauld.”

Snape’s voice sounded nasty, nasty and smug, and Remus felt a wave of revulsion wash over him.

“Detective Inspector Snape, I’m leading this interview,” he said.

“Answer the question, Lord Grimmauld!”

Snape completely ignored Remus, as though he didn’t exist. He watched as Sirius Black stared at Snape, eyes narrowed, before turning to Remus again.

“I shan’t utter a single word, until he leaves,” he said, speaking only to Remus.

There it was again, that unshakable Black certainty that people would inevitably bend to their whims.

“Why?” Snape sounded personally offended.

The aristocrat didn’t spare him so much as a glance this time. He looked at his nails in a bored fashion, running his thumb over his fingernails and sighing. A haughty, world-weary sigh.

“He’s making me say it again, isn’t he?” he said, looking up at Remus over long, black lashes.

Remus frowned slightly and made as if to reply.

“I. Don’t. Like. Him,” he told Remus.

This time, Remus had to turn his surprised laugh into a cough.

“This is preposterous!” said Snape, standing up.

Lord Grimmauld looked at Remus, his left eyebrow lifting minimally. He rolled his eyes at the Duchess’ eldest son and turned to his colleague.

“D.I. Snape, can you just do as the man asks?” Remus said. “Please.”

“Excuse me?”

“Look, you can either leave and let me complete this interview in peace, or I can go and find the Chief and explain you’re hampering the investigation. Your choice,” Remus said, suddenly feeling bone tired.

But he was standing up now and taller than Snape. Tall and determined and somehow unyielding. Snape took a step back, hesitantly.

“Well?” said Remus.

“I’m reporting you for harassment!” Snape said to Remus, looking furiously between him and the man still reclining in his chair.

Remus said nothing.

“Please do,” Sirius Black said, looking vaguely amused. “I’m reporting you for being insufferable, and we both know my complaint is accurate, whereas yours is pathetic.”

Snape flushed a deep red and left the room in a hurry, slamming the door shut. Remus winced.

“I’m sorry.”

Remus’ head shot up in surprise. The very last thing he expected was a Black apologising to him. Sirius Black smiled.

“I’m infuriating. It gets me into trouble. So much trouble. I hope this doesn’t cause problems for you. I told you I’d speak when we were alone, and I shall. I’ve a feeling Chief Inspector Moody will be interested in what you have to report back.”

Chapter 5: Ain't Misbehavin

He was shirtless. The muscles on his broad back glistened despite the cold. He raised the axe at an angle over his right shoulder, right hand sliding down to touch his left. He swung the axe more vertically, bending forward, the axe now over his head, arms fully extended, hips swinging as he crunched, the arc of the axe pivoting round his hips, as at the final moment he loosened his grip on the axe and let it drop the last few inches, and it rammed into the log, splintering it in two. The bulging of his triceps, biceps, his shoulders, the tension and visible strain of his latissimus dorsi meeting the slimmer external oblique muscles at his sides, followed by the flexing of his pectoral muscles and his six-pack abdominal muscle. She could see his buttocks clenching through his trousers. Repeatedly.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

God, but he was a fine thing, she thought. Occasionally he would swipe away at the beads of sweat on his forehead with the back of his forearm, the veins dilated from the exertion. He had taken off his glasses. A brooding, seething quality to his eyes as they focused again and again on the logs in front of him. Slicing them in half, with military precision. She could have watched him all day. A dynamic work of art.

He must have seen her watching him. She wasn’t hiding, sitting on top of a huge log, arms wrapped protectively around herself, as though to ward off his beauty. She was wearing what she called her power suit. High-waisted, balloon style trousers that enhanced her silhouette, the herringbone tweed a fawn shade, muted, with tiny flecks of colour, like hidden wildflowers in tall grass. A matching waistcoat, like she meant business, and a floaty blouse underneath, like she didn’t. She had given up on keeping her brogues clean, or her hair tame.

Eventually, he slowed.

“You’re fierce fit, Mr Potter,” she called out, casually, as he looked over at her.
