“Men in general judge more from appearances than from reality. All men have eyes, but few have the gift of penetration.” --Niccolo Machiavelli

They're all too old and too attractive, but you get the idea.  Some of the people listed have not yet appeared in the story. Sorry for the funky order they are in.  Blogger is being weird.

Caradoc Dearborn--James Franco

Chapter Three!

"The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me." --Ayn Rand

Welcome to the Black Parade (My Chemical Romance) MCR iz soo goff!!1!!11!!  (If you don't get it, read My Immortal. Haha)

Anyway, I've pretty satisfied with this chapter.  Sirius and Rita were my favorites to write.  I've never written Rita before, but she was surprisingly easy and loads of fun. (:

Next Chapter:

Rita's article about James and the immediate repercussions.

Edgar opens up a bit to someone unexpected.

Quidditch trials.

Lily gets a bit of revenge.

Dumbledore does an intervention of sorts.

Love Always,

Dear Mr. Potter

 "Books! And cleverness!  There are more important things--friendship and bravery."

-- Hermione Granger, Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone

This was my submission for Dear Mr. Potter.  I just thought I would share it with you all as well.  As I'm sure you noticed, Harry Potter forever changed me. (:

Lily and James each write a letter.

We've just had a snowstorm here, so after I go out and freeze for a long time, I'll definitely get some writing done.  I've got about 5,000 words already.

Chapter Two

Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

I just posted the second chapter.  It's all right, but I'm not particularly thrilled with it. 

(SPOILERS)

I was considering saving James' dream for a later point in the story, but it's reoccurring, so I decided to go ahead and introduce it.  I'm not sure how I feel about it.

I love writing Bitch!Constance.

I just hope that everything was clear.  Major points:

- Logan Barber was kidnapped by Death Eaters

- Edgar Bones is the son of the Minister for Magic, and his dad is involved in numerous scandals.  Minister Bones is set to go on trial so the Wizengamot can determine if he is fit to remain in office.

- James receives a mysterious letter than is relieving to him.

- Bellatrix decides to teach the class about Dark Wizards in order to better prepare them to fight.

- Alice is giving an ominous prediction in Divination.

And because you're wonderful, this is an excerpt from Chapter Three:

“You shouldn’t speak to government officials like that, Black,” he spat the name as if it were an insult, and Sirius took it as such. “You wouldn’t want your future falling into the hands of someone who could lock you up for the rest of your life.” 

But Sirius Black had never feared the Ministry, and he never would. In later years, people would call him unhinged for that, but though he made it difficult to see, Sirius, perhaps, had more sense than any of them.

Love Always,

Kayla
