Hi, everyone!
The next chapter's up, but there'll be a bit of a wait for the next one - it'll be up on October 6th (Sunday) because I'm away next week and won't have a chance to update!

“He’d already killed Melvin,” Florence said. “He’s bitten over a hundred, and killed probably just as many others. It might not be war in the conventional sense, sir, but it’s still war. It’s high casualties, caused by one git with an inflated sense of self-importance, and it’s been drawn out over twenty years instead of two, but that doesn’t make it any less horrible.”

“It doesn’t justify killing-”

“You fought in the war,” she said. “If you’d had a clear shot at You-Know-Who, would you honestly have left it, because ‘killing is wrong’?”

“Murder’s-”

“Murder’s wrong, certainly-” Florence said, over the top of Mad-Eye, while Tonks stared between them; it was like watching Chasers pass a Quaffle back and forward. “-so why is the death of one such a big issue?”

Until next time!

Hi, everyone!
The next chapter's up on both sites! :)

Here's the preview:

Sirius took a deep breath and knocked once, gently, on the dark wood of Snape's office door. He rocked back onto his heels, waiting, and when no one answered it for almost a minute, he knocked again.

“Yes?” he heard, as the door was yanked open. Snape's dark eyes flicked up to his face, and Sirius only had time to open his mouth before the door slammed shut, narrowly missing his nose.

“Snape!” he called. He heard footsteps stomping away from the door, and growled under his breath. “Snape!” He knocked again, and then paused in to listen; the office had fallen silent. Sirius sighed and crossed to the other side of the corridor, where he folded his arms and leaned against the cold, damp dungeon wall. “I'd like to talk if you've got a moment,” Sirius said loudly, but was met with no reply.

Enjoy!
Have a good week!

Hello, everyone!

The next chapter is up (on both sites) a little bit later than usual (sorry about that!). :) 

Here's the preview:

“I do not keep him around so that I can pretend he’s James!” Padfoot roared, startling Moony. He waved his wand and Snape’s greasy hair turned a vivid pink. Snape snarled and Padfoot sprouted a nasty set of boils on his forehead. Moony was still trying to get himself between them and Dumbledore was trying to calm them down verbally.

Harry, who might ordinarily have found this funny, was close to losing it. Snape - the git - had hexed his godfather, said awful things about both of Harry’s parents and been rude to Harry himself. Padfoot - the bigger git - had started it. Harry had defended Padfoot, said he wasn’t a murderer, and was rewarded with finding out his godfather had actually tried to kill Snape, and then this bout of infantile duelling.

Harry found his magic and flung it out with the intention of getting them both to be quiet. Both were shoved into seats and their voices immediately cut off. 

Enjoy!

Until next week!

Hi, everyone!

The next chapter's up - on both sites - so check it out. :)

Here's the preview:

Sirius Black, ex-mass-murderer, adjusted his grip on Remus – who Tonks could see was not actually moving on his own – and gave Tonks a nervous, semi-defiant stare, and waited to see what she’d do.

“Wotcher,” she said, and her voice caught.

“Hello,” Sirius said quietly, in a voice that gave nothing away. His eyes darted to the fireplace, and then to the door he’d just come through. They stared at each other a moment longer, and then he grimaced and moved forward, very slowly, to deposit Remus on the too-small couch.

“Is he all right?” Tonks asked, stepping forward.

Until next Wednesday!
