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.

"Thank you, Professor. I'd never considered using music as a timing cue to increase my casting speed and timing with those dodges." Harry said as he thoughtlessly conjured a towel and wiped his forehead of sweat and Vanished it.

"Ah yes, Harry – you'll find music to be remarkably magical in many ways! I got my own start with a bladvak-torek when I was just a child. That's a goblin instrument, of course – sort of like a flute attached to an axe-head. If you paid attention in History of Magic class, I'm sure you've heard of the Goblin Uprising of 1457.

Quite a lovely instrument, actually, and the axe heads can double as a chime if struck with a nail." Flitwick finished with a smile, indicating his own claw-like nails. Harry smiled nervously as he agreed with the small professor, mentally reminding himself not to underestimate him.
