The internet situation is in crisis mode again at Spinner's End. I'm mildly stoic about it. That is, I rave and rant inwardly while thinking up alternative ways to get my WIP from my (internet-wise useless) laptop to my mail for my darling beta. What I ought to do is finish the damned story. Which is why I'm reccing stuff, of course. Anything to keep me from actual work.
Here's a missing scene from OotP that badly needed writing. It's set when Minerva returns from St Mungo's after the stunner attack. Harry and the others have just left. Characteristically, Harry left without saying something nice to his Head of House, who just gave 50 points to bloody Gryffindor. He might have come up with 'glad you're not dead, Professor', he might even have managed something really tactful (that's stretching it, I know). But there it is.
Anyhow, Snape and McGonagall continue their talk. Go read it.
Fair

Date: 2010-01-03 07:41 pm (UTC)Remind me that I never want to do anything with 'short' in it again. I did for Truth be Told, and in the end that was a not-too-ugly baby. So I thought a second one might be fun. Now I remember what the writing felt like, and I want an epidural. Or a double Calvados. Or a guillotine. Anything, really.

Anyhow, glad you liked the story!
