Dirty Blood - Chapter 04
"The answer is moose."
"That wasn't an option."
Chapter Four: Keep Your Friends Close
Classes were now well underway and O.W.L.s year was already proving to be overwhelming. It seemed that every professor felt the need to remind them nearly every class of how important the exams were for their future.
Lily's heart raced every time. Ever since Professor Slughorn had told her during her first year that she would make a grand healer, she'd had that career option lingering in the back of her mind. With the attacks going on outside Hogwarts and the growing number of students showing interest in dark arts within it, however, it would be a lie t

Dirty Blood - Chapter 03
She twisted around a pair of suits of armor taking a leisurely stroll and for a moment considered that if she attended a muggle boarding school, she would be where she wanted to go already.
Chapter Three: Hot Tramp, I Love You So
James had found it difficult to focus the next few days of class with the knowledge that his first duty as Quidditch Captain was quickly approaching: tryouts.
It was Friday afternoon in the handful of hours between the last class of the day and dinner. James had rushed to Madam Hooch's office as soon as he could to book this time, hoping to get the Gryffindor tryouts done as soon as possible. This way they could p

If anyone could be relied upon to put together something that would irritate a professor, it was the Marauders.
Chapter Two: Just The Beginning
"You're gonna chew your bottom lip off at the rate you're going," Marlene said to Lily. It was breakfast, the first day of classes, and Lily's food sat before her, untouched since her copy of the Daily Prophet had arrived with the mail.
"And your face will look so uneven without it," Emmeline said, she and Dorcas having joined Marlene and Lily at the Gryffindor table.
"Why so stressed? We haven't even had our first Defense Against the Dark Arts class with… what was his name again?" Dorcas s

"I like my coffee pure, just like my blood."
Chapter One: Storms Ahead
Thunder echoed throughout the platform on this fine September first, the scarlet engine waiting patiently for students to board before it would trudge out into the rain and begin its journey. Fifteen-year-old Lily Evans jumped slightly at the sound, never much caring for thunder.
She recalled crawling into her sister's bed when she was younger and a particularly bad storm would come by. Petunia would sigh and say that the angels were just bowling, that was all. But she would still scoot over and let Lily stay in bed with her for the remainder of the night anyway.

Fly Me Away - Chapter 15
Chapter Fifteen: History Lessons
Dealing with the rest of the wedding party seemed like it would take more energy than Jack presently had to give, and so he sat on the windowsill a ways away, glancing out at the icy canyons surrounding the North Pole. He picked at a plate one of the yetis had set next to him, hearing the others laughing and conversing in the distance.
Euterpe had stopped by briefly to offer him a seat with her and Terpsichore, promising that their conversation was mostly going to consist of plans to hijack the music set-up at the reception. He politely declined, not feeling it in himself to talk about really any aspect of t

Chapter Fourteen: Fake A Smile
The rehearsal was starting soon and Jack was hardly paying attention to what anyone else was saying or doing. He wasn't really sure why rehearsing was even necessary; he already knew the basic gist of what it was that he needed to do.
Walk one of the Muses down the aisle.
Walk to the groom's side of the altar once they reached the end.
Stand there and be happy for his friend on this happy, if political, occasion.
It wasn't hard.
Well, the "walking down the aisle" part wasn't, at least. Standing there with a smile was going to be the hard part.
The ceremony was to take place in a wide, open courtyard, over

Chapter Thirteen: Bad Reputation
Erato balanced a tray above her shoulder, much like a waitress that had been doing it for years. Humming softly to herself, she raised her free hand and tapped her knuckles against the large doors to North's private workshop.
"It is open," came the man's voice from the other side. The Muse pushed open the door and stepped inside. She swiftly closed the door with her heel before any elves could shuffle in after her.
It wasn't that she didn't enjoy the elves or their company. On the contrary, she found them quite endearing. But hell if they didn't devour most of the cookies the moment she stopped paying atten

"Calliope! What are you doing here? I thought you'd be at Arachne's," Erato said, stepping aside so that the other Muse could step inside her room. After months of living out of suitcases, Erato had finally put all her things away and made herself at home at the pole.
She had switched out the sheets that had originally been on the bed with red silk. Various candles were situated around the room, mostly untouched due to the fact that the sun was out constantly this time of year. The thick curtains were open, letting said sunlight in.
An incense burner sat on the mantle, burning silently and giving the room a ple

Moody, thoughful, lazy.

I have a question about Rowan because I can't seem to find it. What major is Rowan going for in Something Quite Peculiar? I love the story and I've read it twice through, and I'm really quite curious.
