Prompt: 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.

To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.

Notes: I finally gave in and accepted the official birthdates for the Black sisters. As a result, this contradicts other things I've written in the Rising Storm universe. So, er, bifurcated trousers of time, etc.

Title: There Was A Young Auror From Essex
Words: 1775
Rating: high PG
Prompt: It was a still, warm day in early July. As one looked out over the flat Essex country, lying so green and peaceful under the afternoon sun, it seemed almost impossible to believe that, not so very far away, a great war was running its appointed course.

--Agatha Christie, The Mysterious Affair at Styles. 1924.
Summary: Recruiting for the Order, July 1995

Happy Birthday,

dolabellae! ^_^

And here to celebrate the day, is a bundle of Slytherins (and a few others). I tried to wrap them up in a bow but they objected.

Rating: G
Characters: Andromeda, Lucius, Frank, Alice, Ted, Bellatrix, Sirius, Lily, Narcissa
Summary: It's only twenty minutes since they left King's Cross, and Head Girl Andromeda Black already wishes term was over. All she needs to do is stop Lucius sulking and find out who the new Head Boy is - oh, and stop the rest of her family killing anyone before they get to Grantham...

Prompt: Snowed in.
Notes: Andromeda gets some answers out of Sirius. This wasn't quite what I was planning for the prompt but Andromeda took charge. Continues straight on from Day 16. Title from Richard III

Wordcount: 2828
Prompt: Frost on windowpanes
Notes: Apologies for the delay - a combination of RL nasties, original fic demanding my attention and this one growing insanely. I wasn't going to cut it here but decided to for the sake of space. Tomorrow's will continue straight from here. Andromeda Tonks throws a dinner party. This one is for everyone who asked if Nymphadora was going to appear in this series. Title from Richard III

Title: Have No Delight To Pass Away The Time
Rating: PG for language.
Disclaimer: They're not mine. I'm just borrowing them because I like them.
Wordcount: 2006
Prompt: soup
Notes: My original idea for this included the dire consequences of mending Sirius' telly, lots of references to The Clangers and James and Sirius pretending to be soupdragons. Then I remembered I was meant to be using Lily's pov and decided to write about Andromeda instead. Feel free to imagine the swanee whistles in the background. Title from Richard III
Apologies for getting behind. I've been busy stressing about original fic and job interviews. After this morning's interview, though, I have a job. *gleeful dance of sheer relief* I don't start until the 23rd so hopefully I'll be on top of everything by then and able to finish on time.

Title: A Time to Talk
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: They're not mine. I'm just borrowing them because I like them.
Wordcount: 3645
Prompt: Swings
Notes: Sixth year. Sirius and Remus babysit, explore London and finally have a chance to talk. Oh, and Remus finds out about Sirius' favourite hobby. I like this one. ^_^ EDIT: Because I forgot to leave this note earlier - Thavie's Inn, where Andromeda works, is one of the old Inns of Chancery which ceased to exist in the 19th century. I took the liberty of upgrading it to a full Inn of Court, albeit a wizarding one. Anyone who's spent any time in the Inns will understand why I felt I could incorporate them into the HP-universe.
