"Well, tell me, then. Where are we?" he asked, annoyed with her and annoyed with himself for wasting so much time avoiding her. Maybe they would already be back at Grimmauld Place if he hadn't been so stubborn.

Her pink tongue darted out to wet her lower lip, as she did when she was nervous. "I think...we're in a book...well, the book I was reading," she explained, her cheeks going bright red. "It must have been one of those couple's romance novels from the seventies. When we touched it at the same time, we got sucked into it."

Suddenly, Remus's mouth went very dry at the thought of being in a romance novel with Hermione. "Well, what is the book?" he asked, both dreading and longing for the answer.

"It's called the Viking's Maiden. It's about a Scottish princess who gets kidnapped by vikings during a raid," she explained.

Remus waved his hand up and down in front of her body. "And what about this then?" he asked, referring to her dress and the previously mentioned corset. He was doing a very poor job of not staring at her enticing cleavage which was still well on display. "Not really historically accurate," he said, feeling like he might choke on the words.

"Well, I wasn't reading it for its historical accuracy," Hermione countered with a hiss, crossing her arms over her chest and doing absolutely nothing to help the situation.

Hermione is reading a romance novel, and is embarrassed to let anyone else see what she's reading. Unfortunately, Remus's curiosity gets the better of him. When they both touch the book, they get sucked into it's pages, forced to live through the plot.

Ohhh that's a good question, Anon. Hhmmm. If I could be stuck in any book...Oh gosh, there's a lot of good options, you know? It'd have to be one to keep me entertained because I'd get bored so easily. It'd have to be one I've read and like. And I'd definitely prefer to have a happy ending too!

Hhhmmm....gosh, this is tough. Maybe like...either Star Wars Return of the Jedi novelization or Lord of the Rings Return of the King. Maybe. I dunno. There's too many good ones, Anon!

Launching on Monday - the #1940Club 😊📚 @stuck_inabook

Just popping in here today with a quick reminder that Monday 10th April sees the start of the latest Club reading week I’m co-hosting with Simon at Stuck in a Book. If you’re new to these, Simon and I have been running this twice-yearly event for quite some time – you can find dedicated pages for each of the years linked at the top of my blog – and they’re great fun! The basic idea is that we…

"I always used to get a lot of impostor syndrome, and feel like I was a bad actor, because I don’t do actor-y things like [using emotional memory]. It’s kind of like a last resort for me. I have more of a technical approach to acting, where research is the bulk of it. Making sure that I understand every single thing that’s on the page, every word. I know what my character’s favourite colour is, I know how she sounds, I know how she walks. I know what her fucking middle name is." - ELLA PURNELL

Give me a Percy Jackson who hates swim team. Who went to a public pool for swim lessons once when he was five and started to sob the second his skin hit the water

give me a Percy Jackson who is always just the slightest bit unsettled at pools because water is never meant to have the life sucked out of it and be divided into lanes or put in boxes in the ground

Water isn’t meant to be contained.

a percy jackson whose skin feels like it’s slowly beginning to burn when he tries to swim in chlorinated water, who hates any set swim stroke with a passion and can’t stick to one for the life of him

who doesn’t understand why you’d want to keep only to the surface of the water, when being cradled under the surface is everything

because swimming is supposed to be like the tides, maybe patterned, but never identical, it’s supposed to be flowing with the world around you as you please

Give me a Percy Jackson who loves the sheer nature of water so much that he can’t help but quietly despise our “pools” and their dead water with their constricted sides and restrictions on what it means to change with the world around you

A Percy Jackson who is the child of water in its most natural state, and who can hardly bear to see the way society has attempted to contain it and sterilize it and strip away its power

He hates swim team, but that’s only the half of it

Seen a lot of people draw power restrictions for Bill, so here’s my take on it featuring my big bro Bill au!

Chapter Fourteen

Remus was startled from his melancholy when he felt a hand clap him roughly on the back. Someone slipped into the open seat next to him.

"Care to explain why you're drunk and Hermione is balling her eyes out?" Sirius asked, wearing a rare serious expression.

Remus frowned. He was not ready for this conversation yet. "Can you please leave me to wallow alone?" he asked bitterly. He knew that it was his fault for just going to the nearest pub rather than apparate far away if he wanted to be left alone. A brief thought flittered through his mind — maybe he'd wanted to be found?

"Remus, you know I can't do that," Sirius answered, knowing his friend far too well. "Can you tell me what happened between you and Hermione?" he gently prodded.

"We were in that blasted book and we had to…" he trailed off, not wanting to say the words out loud. It would make it seem all too real, somehow.
