A commenter on the most recent part of "An Afternoon Lesson" voiced some confusion over just what that tangled Slytherin-Gryffindor family connection is.

I'm twenty-one as of Wednesday, but for all my mother's insistence that this is a highly important birthday, I don't feel it. Perhaps because many of the "landmarks" of such a birthday don't really ( Read more... )

There is both good and bad news regarding current fic status.
