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.
Story Rating:
The Little Veela that Could, Chapter 14"This temple complex you two are looking for... I think I may have been there once or twice already!"
The witch had been introduced to Fleur and Segolene mere hours ago as an expert in the fields of non-magical archeology and magical cursebreaking. Kind of a family business.
"Really, Miss Jones?"
"Yeah! Grandad was taking Dad and me on a tour of the older sites that Great-Grandad spent most of his life on. The temple you're looking for was run over with a fine tooth comb by mundanes in the thirties. They found some unexplained demonic imagery and a hint of angel worship but nothing more."
Marion Jones took another sip of her wine.
"At the time, I was only a student... not even out of Salem yet so I couldn't have done any real curse breaking and the goblins have never gone after anything in this part of the world to my knowledge."
Segolene knew this was the right witch to help them. With any luck, they could get her to agree to a magically binding oath favoring Veela secrecy. If not, both she and Fleur were good enough with the Obliviate spell that Marion could be released without risk. Time to get a little more friendly to help break the ice.
"You said Grandad Jones was a cursebreaker, but he was also muggle?"
Marion nodded. "We call 'em mudanes back in the States, but sure. He had the damnedest luck too. Grandad could pass magical traps with a mix of straight research and sheer luck. When Dad took Mom, a pureblood from the Carolinas, to meet his parents, they figured out she was a witch pretty quick. Grandad kept saying 'I knew it, I knew it' like he had just found the Holy Grail again, or so Dad says."
"Again?"
"Again."
