836: Julie Eng - My Life in Magic

If you are a magic collector or you have attended one of the recent MAGIC Live! conventions, then no doubt you have seen, met or otherwise know Julie Eng. She is the executive director of Magicana, a Toronto-based organization dedicated to the exploration and advancement of magic. She is also the editor of Magicol, the “house organ” of Magicana that’s filled with delightful stories from noted authors about the rich history of our art.

You cannot tell the story of what Julie Eng does without knowing her background with her father, Tony Eng, proprietor of Tony’s Trick and Joke Shop in Victoria, British Columbia. Not only learning magic, but also a strong work ethic and marketing skills necessary to be the successful magician she is today. Enough has been said about women in magic that there should be no separation between a female and male magician. But when you also throw in her Asian cultural background, then the “elephants in the room” must be addressed, which it is in this week’s episode.

Desi!Harry Fic Rec [Exploding Snap 2021]

I am playing @gameofdrarry Exploding Snap 2021. This is for Club Magicana’s Five (5) of Hufflepuff card.

Title: Forged through flowing water

Exploding Snap Trope: Desi!Harry

Word Count: 40,394

Tags: Harry Potter Epilogue What Epilogue | EWE; Post-Hogwarts; Desi Harry Potter; Black Hermione Granger; Healer Draco Malfoy; Auror Harry Potter; Diplomat Hermione Granger; Minor Hermione Granger/Ron Weasley; Discussion of Colonialism; Magical Theory (Harry Potter); World Travel; Pining; Enemies to Friends to Lovers; Tattoos; Magical Tattoos; Sikhism; Hinduism; Hindu Holidays; Indian food; Decolonization; Accidental Drug Use; Promises; Happy Ending; Rimming; Hand Jobs; trapped in a cave; Curses; Dark Magic; kissing under the influence; Mention of Injured Children; H/D Erised 2020; POV Alternating; Yoga; Redeemed Draco Malfoy; Vegetarians & Vegans; India;Bearded Harry Potter; Anal Fingering; Love Bites; Dirty Talk

Summary: When Hermione sets up a diplomatic mission to begin repairing the damage British colonisation did to Indian magical communities Harry isn’t going to pass on the opportunity to visit and help his family’s home country. Maybe he should have asked a few more questions about the personnel she had recruited for it before signing on because Malfoy surely has an ulterior motive to be there.

Or

Harry goes back to India to rediscover some of his lost roots. He meets Malfoy there. Hijinks ensue!

Excerpts: "If we could go up [Shaheed Minar] you would be able to see the entire city from there. It used to be the eye of Britain on its subjects and now it's the men who freed her standing tall in its centre." Harry looked up at the top quietly, there was something pulling at his heart as he stood under it. He was the exact same as this monument. England had claimed him as its own, making his face a symbol for something Harry wasn't sure he could represent. He never wanted to stand for anything bigger than himself and his family. But without a real family or a definite sense of self, it had been all too easy for other people to build him up into a figurehead. Could he be rededicated too? Find his true meaning now that Voldemort and the war had been gone for a decade?

**

There were no more words exchanged between them until they finished eating and left the temple. There was nothing Malfoy could offer and Harry was satisfied he was starting to understand. When they gave back the scarves and slipped their shoes back on, Harry knew that something had passed between them, that the effort of making himself seen by Malfoy was paying off. In the end, Hermione might have been right again, it looked like there was something salvageable in the man, after all.

**

In those quiet moments, Draco looked at him, the dying sun turning his profile into cut bronze, and saw the fire that never left his green eyes. He'd imagined Potter would retire to a life of leisure after the war. He'd seemed the type to need to settle down, process his trauma and get a family, go back to a peaceful home. But he'd miscalculated. The fight wasn't done for Potter, and there was no home for him in England, just like there was no home for Draco there, not anymore.

Rec Notes: Draco is Healer, working with the wizarding equivalent of Doctors Without Borders, when Hermione recruits him for the mission in West Bengal. Harry, an Auror, is brought on as security, partnered with the only other Desi Auror on the force. 

The writing in this story is so vivid. It makes me crave these places I’ve never visited and foods I’ve never eaten. The author’s world building is amazing as well, with fleshed out wizarding cultures and the ramifications of wizarding colonialism. 

This was an amazing enemies to lovers slow burn. In the first couple chapters, Harry hates Draco so much, it's difficult to imagine him falling for Draco. From Draco’s POV, it appears that he has atoned and that he is the right, but then there is a switch that's flipped and we see that maybe Draco hasn’t truly atoned. But once Harry see’s that Draco is willing to really make a change, he loses his anger and starts to help him. It's just so beautiful!!

The story is truly a masterpiece. I recommend it to anyone that wants a slow burn that takes place in another fully actualized wizarding community.

“I’m so sorry. It all happened so fast. I was in Charlie’s room, checking on the man I saved from a dragon, the man who worked for my friend, and then you all came in and there were so many of you, everyone talking and worried about Charlie. When someone said I was his fiancé, I was as shocked as you, but then you hugged me, welcomed me into your family—” His eyes burned and his throat was closing up, but he cleared it and kept going, ignoring the quiver in his voice. “And I couldn’t bring myself to tell you the truth; I didn’t want to make you more upset than you already were. And then I didn’t want to tell you the truth, because the truth was, I’d fallen in love with you.

Molly’s eyes widened comically large. “You fell in love with me?”

Draco gave in and laughed through the tears in his throat. “No. Yes. All of you. I fell in love with all of you.” He gestured with his hand across the sea of red hair before him. “I went from being all alone, and then suddenly I had parents and siblings and nieces and nephews.” He met Sirius’ eyes behind the rest. “Even a godfather.”

REC NOTES: This fic! Like I can’t even express all the wonderful words about this fic! First off, SIRIUS LIVES, which is actually the whole point of this rec, but this fic is pretty much everything. It’s based on 1990’s RomCom which is just the absolute best things ever. There is also a fox.

It’s just the most adorable thing even and I can’t help but fan girl so hard over this.

Language Barrier

Part of my ‘100 Dragon Prince Aus’ Oneshot Collection

Read on Ao3

Callum and Ezran must try and escape an elf assassin. If only they understood what she was saying.

this is a little different take I thought up on a suggestion of 'what if Callum and Ezran are actually hostages who think Rayla will kill them.' plus its fun to make up languages.

“It’s fine, she can’t follow us down here,” Ezran said, pulling Callum down the secret stairwell, “What did she want, anyway?”

“How am I supposed to know?” Callum asked, “I don’t speak Elven!” this was true, he hadn’t understood what the elf assassin had been shouting at him, swords pointed at his throat, but he had a decent idea with the repeated phrase ‘Ezran.’ She was after his brother, and he wasn’t having it.

“I have to show you something,” Ezran said, bringing him over into the lab, “Come on!” Callum was distracted though, as the stairwell lowered again, this time with the Elf assassin on it. “How did she find us?!” Ezran demanded.

“Eto fassen manni pa jelly,” She said with a smirk.

Ezran looked at his jelly covered hand. “Oh..”

The assassin glared them both down “Otoan fallcima. Eto pacasi barel sono.”

Callum didn’t know what she was saying, but he did NOT like the sound of it. “Ezran, stay behind me.”

“But I have to show you something!” Ezran protested, moving further into the lab, the elf’s eyes following him.

“Not the time, Ez,” Callum said, trying desperately to keep himself between the assassin and Ezran.

“But Callum!” Ezran said, “Look!” Callum turned his head just enough to see Ezran pull the cloth off a pedestal...revealing a glowing blue egg.

“Draco Princeps!” the elf said, her swords drooping as she stared in astonishment.

“My words exactly,” Callum said, giving the egg his attention, “It wasn’t destroyed…”

“Me tem a forenta materna, Draco Reigna.” the elf said, approaching it. “Moraka, Eto soan moraka!” she said, gesturing at Ezran.

The brothers blinked at her, confused. “I think she wants your bag,” Callum said.

Ezran handed his backpack over to the elf, who snatched it up, stuffing the egg inside. “Stop, elf!” Claudia said behind them, “Callum, Ezran, come here.”

“Claudia, what’s going on?” Callum demanded.

“Soca tullis magicana!” the elf said, raising her swords at Claudia. “Tenebris magicana foll!”

Claudia raised her primal stone, preparing to shoot a beam of lightning at her. The elf knocked the stone out of her hand with the swipe of a sword, sending it rolling across the floor, directly towards Callum’s feet. He subtly picked it up, as the elf latched Claudia to a pipe with a handcuff.

The elf turned on the princes. “Vade cores, principes. Vade!”

Callum and Ezran looked at each other, confused. “What’s she saying?” Ezran asked.

The elf sighed and pointed a sword at them, “Move!” she yelled in a heavily accented voice.

Callum raised his hands in surrender, “I think we’re being kidnapped,” he said, putting his hands on Ezran and leading him away, always making sure the sword point was on him.

The elf continually pushed on them, making them run faster and faster. Ezran caught on quickly, keeping full speed while holding Bait. Callum was a bit slower, not because he didn’t understand what the elf wanted, but because he was trying to delay her.

Soon, they all turned to the sound of dark wolves chasing them, clearly magical. He could always count on Claudia.

Or so he thought until one of the wolves snapped at Ezran. “Hey!” Callum shouted, “We’re the good guys!”

“Eto na por sleece toan!” The elf shouted in distress, slicing through the wolves to no effect, “Toan magica umbera na!”

The wolf bit her on the arm and she yelped. If the wolves couldn’t tell elf from human, then…. “I’m going to try something,” He said, lifting the primal stone “Aspiro!”

The wind blew back the smoke, the wolf releasing the elf assassin. “Grata,” the elf said, nodding at him. Then, she lifted her sword again.

“Oh, good moment over, I guess,” Callum said, “Come along, Ezran, it’s not like I just saved her life or anything.”

“Ito locasta muvan.”

A Continuing Journey In The Magic History Of Singapore

This article is to introduce magicians and magic fanatics to the rich records of magic in Singapore. It honours the exquisite achievements, prominence and significance of nearby magicians from the beyond and gift.

The starting of Modern Magic in Singapore

It is the general consensus that contemporary magic in Singapore (post World War 2) started out with the overdue-Ng Bo

Oen AKA The Great Wong. Information on nearby magic pre-battle is very scarce. The handiest facts found has been on The Great Wong performing at the New World Amusement Park (then positioned at Kitchener Road) inside the Thirties.

The Great Wong changed into born in 1908 in Shanton, a town of the Guangdong Province, China and immigrated to Singapore in 1933.

He changed into a instructor via profession however executed for annual unique occasions, charity indicates and personal events. He was (and nonetheless is) across the world acknowledged for his magical innovations.

This is a fanfic recommendation for @gameofdrarry EXPLODING SNAP. This one is for Club Magicana team card. the trope was Veela!

TITLE: A Life More (or less) Ordinary

AUTHOR: Tari_Sue

WORD COUNT: 22209

RATING: Mature

TROPE: Veela

TAGS: Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, Ron Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, Narcissa Malfoy, Veela Draco Malfoy, Veela Mates

SUMMARY: Harry is working at St Mungo’s as a student nurse and finds himself becoming a bit too attached to one of the patients – a dying Veela who won’t let anyone close.

EXCERPT:

It became a regular thing; Harry sneaking into the Veela’s room at the end of his shift. He would chatter away about goings on in the hospital, or in the Wizarding World in general, sometimes he would read items from The Daily Prophet, he would even read out the Quidditch scores because, after all, who didn’t like Quidditch?

The Veela didn’t seem to object to Harry’s presence, so he kept coming, sometimes popping in on his break or even before his shift if he had time. He knew it was silly of him to consider the Veela as a friend, he was a patient, but Harry couldn’t help it – it was probably all in his imagination but he just felt that they clicked somehow. Harry, for want of anything better to call him, not knowing his real name, had started calling him ‘Bird’. As far as he could tell, the Veela didn’t object to that either. In fact, the only time the Veela ever did object was every time Harry tried to leave.

NOTES: I loved this Fic. It’s an oldie, but I had never heard of it before. First off, let me say how unique it was, and how interesting the author’s take on Veela was. It was refreshing, and I was hooked from the beginning. I really don’t want to spoil too much about this, but I just loved how the author wrote Harry in this. He really found himself during this story, and I just wanted to cheer him on in all of his growth in this. Draco was also great. For someone who doesn’t say too much in a Fic, he was present the whole time, and it was just a great development between the two characters. There are a few surprises and a few things you saw coming, but it still just really built and had a wonderful HEA.
