ellid: "Placet-verse, one of the Parker kids gets their Hogwarts owl." It's July 1999 and the child in question is Vane Parker, Charles and Mary's great-grandson.
When the owl from the school arrived, it found him poring over a novel penned by his great-aunt Harriet. He had watched her hammer out the manuscript on the typewriter she’d inherited from her Aunt Harriet, a writer of Muggle mysteries. To him, it was magical how her loose, much-marked, cut-apart-and-taped-back-together sheets of paper had become a handsome hardcover with elegant maps.
When he looked up from the letter, he said, “Father will be so relieved.”
Her expression shrewd, his great-aunt asked, “And how do you feel about it?”
He shrugged. “I won’t know how I feel until I’m there.”
