This is an interesting start...

[sesheta_66]

Thanks.

Lily asks Al if he can keep a secret. Evidently, she can't! But without her big mouth, we wouldn't have a story, would we?

I liked that glimpse of Harry and Ginny and the "weird conversation" through Al's eyes. I think it's fun when you can pull off a scene like that where the reader knows more about it than the character telling it.

Great start - looking forward to more!

[sesheta_66]

Nah, she's not known for keeping secrets well. But I suspect she'll keep this one in the family.

Yeah, I like when the reader can think, "I know what it is!" that the character doesn't.

Thanks.

Hee, I hope Albus does something very stupid cunning! *is excited* :D

Heheh, I love how confused he was at first... not so quick, that one. *g*

But yay, you're starting a new series! ^_^ *hugs you tight*

[sesheta_66]

We'll see what he & Scorp plan. ;)

Well, in fairness, being told your Dad was with another man, when you have never known him to be with anyone but your Mum, isn't something you'd be expecting.

Just what I need ... another series! I really am insane. *clings*

[lackofmendacity]

Heheh, is this my cue to berate you for starting another series?

...

Hee, go Sesheta! Embrace the insane fic love! ^_^

*is a useless cue-person and proud of it* :D

[sesheta_66]

Nah, I'll berate myself enough. *g* I just get an idea and ... well ... I don't have time to write the whole story in one go, so ...

Then another prompt comes along, giving me another idea ... and another series is born.

The Missing Years (the series I started when I finished DH) is sitting off on its own, looking lonely ... waiting for me to return to it. Must do that soon. At least with one more installment. Oooh! And Return to Hogwarts left off after two or three as well. BAH! Maybe I should forget my novels and just write fanfic full time. ;)

And does he do anything stupid? I sooo need more!

[sesheta_66]

Heheheh. You'll have to wait and see. ♥

Um ... this one will likely be updated once a week, depending on the AWDT prompts.

Great start. The 'Family secret' is now in the hands of the (Stunned) Next Generation! *just waiting for more*

Thanks, hon. ♥
