Fic: A Toast to Lord Voldemort

[magnetic_pole]

Finally reposting my fic from this year's marvelous hp_beholder exchange! Both lyras and woldy correctly guessed this was mine while it was still anonymous ("I'd put money on it," Lyras said, actually--so much for anonymity!), so they are both getting a ficlet in the next few weeks. Thanks for reading and guessing, you two! Thanks, too, to cordelia_v and schemingreader, whose

I had a lot of fun with this one. Thanks for reading, sweetie! (Though I really do wish I'd written the fic you mentioned--and I'm so flattered you thought I was capable of it!) M.

Aw, thank you! I adored the other fic, but you're right--I don't really do sex, do I? But I *should* do wizarding architecture!

On a completely unrelated note, off to get the popular The Clothes On Their Backs--which I'd ILL'd twice before and failed to receive when someone checked it out before me. You've got your pulse on the popular imagination, SR... M.

Absolutely gorgeous, and I haven't read any fic in ages. This was very refreshing and all together lovely.

I haven't been around much, either, so I'm happy to get back into the swing of things again. Thanks for giving it a try! M.

This was absolutely gorgeous my dear. I love the differences in opinions between Minerva and Augustus, and Neville's air of general bemusement at every single thing his grandmother does, but his love for her at the same time.

Brava!

Thanks, lovely! I feel as if McGonagall needs someone to spar with, don't you? Thanks for giving HP a try again! Have missed you more generally--hopefully the summer will bring more online time for both of us. M.

Marvelous. It fits so well into what we see of the characters, while giving us an entirely new perspective. Delightful.

Thanks so much! Love your icon, by the way. Maggie

oh, it's so long since i've read hp fic. this was a treat. i love your voluptuous gussie fitting so well with the mcgonagall we know from canon, i love your take on the wizarding politics of then and now, and i love neville.

also: "The overwhelming joy of not-marking may occupy the first decade of retirement or so."

oh maggie. talk about writing what you know. ♥

Ah, berry, thanks for giving hp a try again! This is not my most polished or compact fic, but it was nice to write something--anything!--again. Thanks for reading! (And noticing the comment for fellow academics.) M.
