Incidentally, did you ever see the story I wrote for you as part of the peterficathon? I think it was just about when you were ill and so you might have missed it. It's here
Looking that up has made me realise what a long time ago that was. I'm so glad you're back.
I did miss your story--and the rest of the peterficathon. (I got sent some of the stories from the femgenficathon, but nothing for the Peter one
( ... )
I wish you would write that - it would be fabulous. It might amused you to know that when I was assigned you to write for, I was petrified - because you're the Peter writer in the fandom as far as I'm concerned.
Writing that story made me realise just how little other people valued Snape's life. (And I'm still cross with Dumbledore about that. No wonder Snape turned to the Death Eaters? Imagine not even expelling someone who tried to kill another pupil. Whether Sirius had thought it through or not doesn't matter. And you could certainly make a good case for mailicious intent, given the five years of history between Sirius and Snape.)
Imagine not even expelling someone who tried to kill another pupil.Sadly, I can imagine this all too well. I went to school with four psychopaths--they were the children of the trustees, and they ran the school. The four of them gang-raped a friend of mine (she had a nervous breakdown as a result). The leader tried to rape me. All I can say is, thank God for lack of modesty and sharp fingernails

Bloody hell. I'm glad to say that nothing like 1 or 4 happens here, usually. We do have violence and theft (someone chased another boy at knifepoint into the arms of one of the staff recently) but nothing more than that. (Mind you, the kids with the knife weren't joking.)
I count myself lucky that I live in a gun-free country. People with illegal guns shoot other people with illegal guns, but that accounts for most of the gun crime. I lived for a while in one of the country's blackspots, and there were quite a few shootings while I was there, but generally, the gangs shot their own, and the law-abiding citizens stayed out of it.
