Title: PRECIOUS/dirt/STONE/road
Rating: There's swearing on this chapter, so I guess T, M overall.
Words: 2851
Notes: And chapters seem to get larger than I intend. At this rate, she's going to be at Hogwarts a mere week...

( She realised McGonagall was a skilled witch, and someone she didn’t want to cross, but it was all she could do to avoid hitting the aged woman with all the painful hexes she was thinking of at the moment. )

Rating: T, for this chapter, M overall.

Notes: I had thought about writing all of her day, but soon, the chapter was as long as it needed to be, and she hadn't even left her Common Room. Probably I must remark that this fic is going to be more character-centric than story-centric.

( 'it shouldn’t be hard', she thought, 'to channel my magic through that wooden crutch for a while, until I get the hang of the spell, and then do it on my own, should it?' She had been brought up to think so; after all, that’s how they taught magic in American schools. )

Rating: PG, for this chapter, M overall.
Words: 2150
Notes: Grief, frustration and a cold determination have dragged Emmeraud Wilshire to her current path. Will they be enough to help her find her father, lost in the mists of time but for a faded picture and a couple of words?

( Probably her father’s exact whereabouts had been the only thing she had never been able to extract from mother dearest, and often she wondered if it was merely because she hadn’t known them in the first place. )

Probably I'll make Fic Fridays. For now, chapter two of 'Nineteen Years Earlier.' Fanfiction.net link.

Title: Nineteen Years Earlier
Rating: G, for this chapter.
Words: 1822 (second chapter) ( link to first chapter)
Notes: Nineteen years it's a long time, and who said things were going to be easy? Spoilers for Deathly Hallows

( ... neither knew what to do to make them feel better, for their loss was something that couldn’t be cured by any potion or charm, and the scars in their hearts would only heal with passing time. )
