The Award

As promised, here's the project I've been working on since the end of 2021. Can't even believe it has almost been TWO years.

Got the idea for this one-shot after being inspired by @bcdaily's A Proper Shot. Not even sure if this can be considered a "one-shot" since it's upwards of 9k words... BUT it's a fic nonetheless :)

§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§

Lily Evans hated Eldon Elscrickle.

Well, maybe that was a bit of an exaggeration. She didn't hate Eldon Elscrickle, per se—she just hated what he stood for.

After travelling to Africa in the 17th century, Elscrickle learned the Alohomora charm from an ancient sorcerer. Upon returning to England, he used the simple charm to break into numerous homes around London, including Muggle ones. When he was inevitably captured, he traded the knowledge of the charm in return for his freedom.

Okay, so maybe he wasn't the most laudable figure, but apparently, the Ministry was willing to overlook his transgressions in order to create the Eldon Elscrickle Most Promising Newcomer Award.

It Was Meant to Be - Chapter 41

ALRIGHT FRIENDS — THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!

I have an update for It Was Meant to Be :) However, I can't fully take this fic off hiatus because my time to write has been pretty finite in the last few months. However, happy to share this completed chapter! See below the cut for a sneak peek!

"Oi, Evans!" she heard the unmistakable voice call across the table.

Suppressing a grin, she turned towards him. "What d'you want, Potter?"

James grinned at her, one corner of his mouth lifting higher than the rest. This all-to-familiar action caused Lily's insides to warm as she desperately tried to fight the urge to smile.

"Go to Hogsmeade with me?"

"Oh, alright, if I must," she replied, nonchalantly, shrugging her shoulders.

It Was Meant to Be - Chapter 5 (Rewritten)

SO SO SO SORRY FOR THE LONG WAIT, but the newest rewritten chapter of It Was Meant to Be is here!

In other news, I was having a HUGE case of writer’s block, but I think this story may no longer be on hiatus – next (new) chapter should be finished very soon and I think the future chapters will be updated more frequently, but no promises.

She tilted her head back and laughed. "You are such a flirt, James Potter."

"Only for you, Lily Evans." He pressed a kiss to her neck. "Only for you."
