WIP Amnesty #1

Oho. Here's a snippet I pulled out of "Telling Hogwarts" because it was too serious and schmoopy for that whimsical fic. In fact, it's probably wise that this never makes it into any fic of mine.

Can you tell it was for Isis?

WIP Amnesty #2

This is from an unfinished story with the working title of "Lies". It was gen, from OOTP, during the first night of Harry's detention. The fact that he suffered in that room for over 7 hours horrified me (still does). I have the whole thing plotted out. It's a tale of how Harry got through the first night of detention. Like everything I write, it begins in the middle somewhere. So the beginning and end are missing.

Input needed

Sorry for overposting today. I need some help with my latest fic.

Question #1 (for my British friends): What is the season for football (soccer) in England? During what times of the year can one be reasonably sure of finding a game on Muggle TV on a Saturday afternoon? Or is Saturday the wrong day? And can you give me some team names other than Manchester United? Do they play the other European teams like Real Madrid?

Question #2 (for everyone): What spells do you think would be possible to cast if you didn't have the use of your voice?

Enquiring minds want to know!

Ah, Friday night. Pour the wine!
