    Summary

    Peter loves his friends. Which is why he had to kill them. And now, he's doing- well. Alright. Things didn't turn out exactly as he'd anticipated, but he's making it work. Living his life. As a rat. Mostly trying not to think about things.

    Fine. Things could be better.

    But he hadn't thought they'd get worse- which is exactly what happens when, three years after James died, he's come back. And for some godforsaken reason, he's decided to make that Peter's problem. (Okay, okay- Peter gets it. He did kill him.) Peter is sure that James is going to turn him in, ruin his life the same as Peter had ruined the Marauders.

    But this is James. And he doesn't do any of that.

    What was Peter expecting, really?

    (Features: A lot of fighting, a lot of forgiveness, and a splash of necromancy. Alright, you got me- rather a lot of necromancy. But come on- we can't just have the ghost of Christmas James show up. Haven't you seen 'A Muppet's Christmas Carol'? There needs to be at least two more ghosts.)

    Summary

    "Are you going for the course?" Lovegood asked. "You have the NEWTs.”

    “What course?” Draco said, then, “No, don’t be ridiculous,” when he realized she meant the notice pinned up on the board he’d been staring at: Applicants To The Introductory Mediwizard Course For The Coming Term Shall Present Themselves In The Chief Mediwizard’s Office By August 24th.

    “Oh, I thought you might,” she said. “Well, goodbye.” And off she wandered again in her addled way.

    Summary

    Jack flies to Las Vegas in the window seat, Alicia beside him and Bob across the aisle. Jack feels too big for even the width of first class seats, and he can’t imagine how his father feels with those shoulders that have held up teams and Cups and towns, but Bob is asleep beneath an Aces ball cap pulled down over his eyes.

    Kent naps in his childhood bedroom, which hasn’t been his since before the Q. Spare file boxes clog the corners. Posters of Gretzky and Rudy Galindo and Britney Spears gaze over his sleeping head while in the kitchen his mother opens up bottles and pours them down the sink-- a six pack of beer, a week-old half-full Chardonnay, a bottle of cheap whiskey she’d gotten as a present. Empty glass hits empty glass and shatters at the base of the recycling bin-- contained explosions. At the folding table in the kitchenette, Kent’s little sister turns up the music in her earbuds and tries to concentrate on the molar mass of carbon.

    What happens is this: Jack goes first in the draft, takes an Aces jersey in shaking hands, and Kent goes home to New York.
