good things

* In spite of miscellaneous mistakes, the chamber choir sounded good at this morning's services. (Enough that someone exclaimed "Wow!" right as our opening anthem ended. It feels wonderful to connect to a listener to that degree.)

* Today was the first day of this year's Religious Education classes. The minister and RE director read a charge to the teachers (all volunteers) themed around Noah's ark that included the line, "Remember: the ark was built by amateurs, the Titanic by professionals."

* Went fly-fishing yesterday at Newsom's Mill with four guys from church. The weather was perfect for wading around in the Harpeth River -- which was good, because the fishing was best where the water was up to my bra. It's not going to become a new hobby (too much driving and gear involved), but damn, casting is cool.

* Dinner was shrimp boil, with homemade key lime pie for dessert.

* Tired and frustrated and feeling like a turtle, but also hopeful and jazzed about there being so many things to make/do better.

Joyeux anniversaire, etrangere ! Un petit cadeau… (Merci à la belle Tante Marion d’avoir corrigé mes erreurs!)

Snape/Lupin, G, ~ 100 mots.


Voir La Clé du Noir

« Mon Dieu, » Lupin dit. « C’est possible--? »

« Non! » Snape s’écrie. « Je l'ai vu mourir des mes propres yeux! »

« Un imposteur, » Lupin déduit. « Mais indubitablement un Noir. Alors…. » Il soulève l’homme pétrifié.

« Qu'est-ce que tu fais !? » Snape demande aigrement. « Tu oublies qu'il faut que nous nous échappions de cette fosse? Ta curiosité maudite--»

« Peut-être… il est une clé? » Lupin murmure. « Le portoloin que nous amène ici etait caché dans la tapisserie des Noirs. Donc, s’il est un rejeton… »

Une manifestation d’une pensée se lit sur le visage du Snape. « C’est idiot-- c'est fou! » Mais il sourit aussi. « Donc, je te crois. »
