    Summary

    Dumbledore raises an eyebrow, his blue eyes glinting behind his half-moon spectacles. “I am hoping, my dear Poppy, that you are not averse to tunnels?”

    “I’m not sure it matters.”

    “Oh, it matters very much.”

    When Albus Dumbledore plants a killer tree and tells her he’s admitted a Class XXXXX student, Poppy Pomfrey is not happy - even if he says Remus Lupin is the loveliest, sweetest, most agreeable first year around.

    Summary

    They haven’t even been driving an hour. James is obnoxiously singing along to “You Shook Me All Night Long” after begging his mum to let him connect his phone to the car radio, and Lily tries to muffle the ruckus by covering his mouth with her hand. He licks it with no hesitation while still not missing a word of the song, and she snatches it back, repulsed by the audacity. He yells the chorus in her face as she fights a smile. Sirius drums his hands to the beat on the back of Monty’s seat as he pleads to have control of the music next. Monty looks at him in the rearview mirror, wrinkles forming around his eyes.

    The warmth and laughter in the car contrasts the biting chill of late October.

    The truck comes out of nowhere.

    Summary

    Remus Lupin is doing just fine, thank you: he's a fully functioning adult, business at his flower shop is steady, and he even has a vague approximation of a social life. But when the vacant building next door becomes a tattoo parlor run by the sought-after, larger-than-life Sirius Black, Remus's carefully constructed world is turned on its head, forcing him to reexamine his past, present, and future.

    Summary

    It's lovely up here; all meadows dotted with wildflowers, wind-beaten tracks criss-crossing this way and that through the fields, weaving inland to the pinewoods. The sun's hot on his back as he passes ramshackle stone walls, long since crumbled to piles of ancient rubble and scree, and then the path winds downwards, still following the line of the coast until Sirius finds himself outside an old white cottage, tucked away behind the hill with a rose garden that faces out to the sea.

    Sirius moves to Cornwall for the summer and meets a rude, beautiful boy who is writing a book that may or may not be about dragons.
