During my obligatory morning procrastination, I realized that I had neglected to repost my drabble from the 2011

Ooh, a bittersweet post-war story--my favorite kind.

I love the way it moves from indulging the children with sugar to her own private indulgence. Glad the headmistress is taking care of herself (and Rolanda) too.

Thanks; glad you enjoyed it. Post-war stories are among my favorites.

I very much enjoyed this. How very 'Minerva' to address the students and staff first, and make sure that they are well, before heading off to a celebration of her own. Lovely. :)

Thank you! I agree--Minerva would always put students first.

As always, you can move me with the barest whisper of words. A beautiful, poignant reminder that, as much as I love to bend canon, in reality is carries its final victory at such a heavy price.

Teddy, you say the nicest things! Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
