Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.
Harry Potter & the Curse's Cure, Chapter 37It had certainly been a roller coaster of a month. Things had happened thick and fast since the Will, with little time to reflect and comprehend. After the… tense, Order meeting last week, it had taken almost a whole day for all of them to calm down. Daniel Granger had, in fact, been the last to cool off, and had made extensive use of the training dummies that the Manor had. Had, being the operative word. He'd demolished several to the point that not even Dobby could put them back together. The display had, however, not repulsed Harry like he'd at first thought it would. Instead, it made the former soldier more human. Proved that he was not just a killer, a weapon honed by war and drill.
A chuckle escaped his lips as he recalled the audience that the ex-soldier had gathered as he worked off his anger. He'd started off demonstrating some combat moves that the teens could use themselves for now, but it was clear that he'd had to let go. Unsurprisingly, it was after one of the twins – Harry was still unsure as to which one it was who had cast the spell - had transfigured the dummy to look like Snape while Daniel's back was turned. His reaction had been… violent. And severe.
Hence why they now had to replace three dummies.
The twins had blanched at the violence that Daniel had unleashed… while Hermione and Daphne had blushed at the language that escaped his lips as he tore the Snape image apart. As the former soldier had moved onto the next one, Lily had pulled the two young men aside. From the sounds Harry had over heard, she was giving them a lecture about pranks, the time and place for such antics. Both had returned rather withdrawn, and quiet. In fact, the pair had been subdued for the rest of the day. And when they came back the next day there had been much less of their normal skylarking attitude.
Had she known, Molly would have been green-red with envy. Lily had done something in one ten minute lecture that she had been trying – and failing – to do in nearly sixteen years.
