Hello Owen. It's wonderful you've got us some more to read! I've been missing this story!

if it reached the wrong ears it would spell disaster and destroy years of work.
Ah! Teddy must be very cautious. Oh my goodness, the weight upon his shoulders must be heavy.
Quote:
About to toss the whole pile aside in frustration, ignoring an age that magic could not repair, Teddy noticed a familiar rune embedded in the wax seal of the top scroll.
I see a quest for me! I must figure out what this Rune could be about. Let's see it's from 'an age that magic could not repair.' Hmmm ok I'll ponder on that during and after the rest of the chapter.
Quote:
Popular folklore surrounding the rune suggested the scroll was a work of Merlin. Teddy knew this was not the case - Merlin was a mythical being designed to keep the celtic wizards quiet - but it did not stop him from reverently unrolling the scroll as if expecting Merlin's voice to fill the chamber. Disappointed at the lack of tension release when he had fully unrolled the scroll, Teddy began to read it; a small smile forming and growing with every paragraph.
When he had finished reading the scroll, Teddy let caution take over again; he kept glancing over his shoulders as he grabbed more scrolls with the same seal. Slipping them into his bag, Teddy knew they needed studying in his own home. He needed to be relaxed to study them properly.
OK! I need to see these scrolls also! Maybe Merlin wasn't a myth!

Harry leaned against the door frame, resentful of Hermione's parting hug.
Ah, but hugs are wonderful though. Harry needed it, and he needs to go give Ginny one. But, I think I understand Harry sulking in the kitchen. He was very hurt by Ginny. Why didn't she understand Harry anymore? How could she accuse him the way she did of something so wrong!? It seems like all his life people questioned his instincts and motives. She above all people shouldn't question his love for James. I don't think she understands how much she hurt Harry. I hope she doesn't anyway. Still, he needs to put this behind him, and go hug Ginny. He needs to re-eastablish his grip on things so he can consentrate on things at hand. Does he have any reason to think James is mixed up in this mystery going on? Does Bill have anything for him yet? He needs a clear head to work. Get things repaired between him and Ginny, then he can focus on these other pressing issues.
Quote:
He felt jealous of Ron. His best friend had a wife who loved him and no children who filled him with hate.
Quote:
Feeling the tears threaten to overwhelm him, Harry rushed to the bed, his nostrils suddenly filled with Ginny's scent. An image popped into his head - Ginny lying on crisp white sheets, laughing. Her long red hair framing her soft, beautiful face.
The image hit Harry like a punch to the stomach, causing him once again to stop, eyes looking for a distraction and resting on his firebolt.
Slowly, reluctantly, a smile formed as he flew. The joy of a skill not lost - a few dives, twists and near misses to prove it - of responsibilities slowly slipping away and the wind whipping through his hair. He let out a great whoop of delight.
The whoop died in his throat when he noticed Neville gesturing at him.
But why did he need a distraction?!!??!! He was so close to resolve the problem!
Quote:
'Hush princess, everything's going to be alright.'
Lily relaxed when she recognised her father's voice, allowing his hand to stroke her hair and feeling as safe as she did when curled up on his lap as a six year old. She soon drifted off to sleep.
Awe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Way sweet! I love Harry!
Quote:
Harry had been asleep when she arrived and it had taken all her self control to not wake him and give him a hug.
Ginny!!!!!!!!!!! Why did she have to pick that time to practice her self control?
Honestly! She should have practiced her self control when she lit in to Harry about James
Quote:
When Lily finished her tale, omitting only what Cei had whispered to her, she noticed the three adults were a deathly shade of white. 'What's wrong?'
'The rite of passage you described,' Neville surprised himself by answering first, 'was used only by the famous old families that joined Lord Voldemort.'
Really Owen?! Honestly, was this a kind place to leave us? I hope you can post another chapter soon. Outstanding writing Owen. I will be watching for the next e-mail notice.
