Hello! I'm still on school holidays, though not for much longer, unfortunately; I go back on Monday. :( The good news is that I've been spending quite a bit of time on the "short" story which has now grown to be over 15, 000 words long... and I'm still going!

Excerpt from "Trainee":

“I don’t know why everyone else here looks so nervous,” Sirius said quietly. Very quietly; he did not want to piss off a room full of stressed and highly competent wizards. “They’ve had twice as long to get ready for this.”

“Wishing you’d had longer, Padfoot?” James said lightly, truly meeting his eyes for the first time. Behind his glasses, James’ hazel eyes were bright, waiting to see if Sirius would rise to his bait.

Not a chance, Prongsie. “Nah. Together, remember?” he said.

“Yeah.”

“If I could have your attention, please,” said a witch’s cool, professional voice. Everyone in the room stiffened.


I hope to get it online before school goes back - I'm hopeful about getting some more done and hopefully finishing it this weekend, but we'll see.

Also, the result of this week's poll is in:

FAVOURITE 'WHITE FLAGS' PERSPECTIVE:
Tie between Lily Evans, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew.

Hi again! I've just started school holidays - I'm very excited for a break! - and I seem to have caught the writing bug... I haven't started my new story yet - that one's too long to be started in a two week break, but another plot popped into my head and wouldn't leave me alone until I started to write it...

It'll be a short story - only a few thousand words and I haven't got a title for it yet but it's from Sirius' point of view and it's set very early in 1980.
Keep an eye out for updates - it should be published in the next few weeks!

In other news, this week's poll has finished!
The results are as follows:

FAVOURITE HARRY POTTER BOOK:
Tie between Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.


FAVOURITE (NON-SLASH) PAIRING:
Harry Potter / Ginny Weasley.

Hi all! Time for another update, I think!
Some of you may have noticed the polls on the right hand column there - I'll be changing those every week, and I'll be using your responses to make subtle changes to the way things play out in my up-and-coming story.
The results for the first set of polls are as follows:

FAVOURITE (YOUNG) HARRY POTTER CHARACTER: Tie between Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ginny Weasley and Luna Lovegood.

FAVOURITE (YOUNG) HARRY POTTER CHARACTER: Tie between Sirius Black and Severus Snape

FAVOURITE WEASLEY: Fred Weasley.

Thank you to all of those who voted! I was certainly interested by the results and will try to incorporate your preferences into the story!
