Head canon (and fugue): Harry

1. He’s really quite pleased that, since the post-War reforms, the Aurors are effectively the Army and MLE do the policing.
2. He never wished to be a glorified policeman, after all, and the disciplined application of force is his metier, rather than detection and that swotty sort of thing.
3. He remains, at

Completely spot on,

[mayfly_78]

for the way you write them. (Not my own head-cannon of course.)

Do one for Draco and Narcissa too?

I shall do.

[wemyss]

In due course. And thank you for yr obliging words.

As Good As A Story! Better!

Love Hermione being a bit of Bucket; have you already written Draco's reaction to Scorpius being sorted a 'Puff?

Not as yet.

[wemyss]

But soon. And I thank you.

Fascinating! I never would have taken Harry for a Tory, but you've made it believable. And I love Hermione's parents' guilt over Mr. Granger's success in the private sector. I can totally see her with these parents. I also like that you've kept Hermione plain and not glamorous - I think the films did the character an injustice by prettying her up.

My favo(u)rite bit about the Grangers here is Mr Granger's secret Ashes shame.

My best equivalent would be of a fanatical Oregon Duck getting brainwashed and cheering on (oh horror) the Huskies. At the Rose Bowl.

Come, come.

No one suggests, surely, that I of all people shd miss that sort of chance at a jape.

Thankee.

I agree wholly w/r/t the cinematic version.

As for Harry, I know it has ruffled feathers, oddly enough, but bar the occasional Ian Blair, there really isn't a top copper or a senior officer of HM Forces who's Wet or Leftish, so that whatever the Aurors may be in the post-War, PC Plod or the Forces, I cannot see Harry remaining the Wet he was as a schoolboy - and had ceased to be well before the Crucio on Carrow in Bk 7.

Mr and Mrs Granger are vocal believers in the NHS, and feel terribly guilty that they are quite comfortably well off precisely because Mr Granger has a thriving private practice, whilst Mrs G is the NHS dentist

Modern middle class Britain in a nutshell.

Very funny!

It truly is.

[wemyss]

Thank you.

I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed that. Fascinating. This glimpse into their future lives seems very true to character to me, and I can't but agree with your very apt deductions.

Thank you vy much indeed.

[wemyss]

I'm greatly obliged.
