    Summary

    Written for MsAnthrop for the 2014 SSHG LJ Giftfest. A trip to Sainsbury's...a lingering glance over a pile of fruit and veg...Oh, sorry, that was actually a look of disdain. But isn't that most relationships? Annoy one another until you fall for another another? Perhaps.

    Lily Evans got described by many adjectives: vivacious, charming, bright, natural, talented, brave, funny, witty, kind, popular...Truly, she was an exceptional witch who for some reason left behind her a trail of deeply troubled individuals.
    Answer to the question: What would change in the story if Lily Evans had been born a sociopath is: not necessarily anything.

    Summary

    The Friar looked closely at the boy.  So young, really, like all of them were, even the professors. They reminded him sometimes of mayflies, glass-winged and insubstantial, their lives begun and ended on the same summer day.  His own death, hundreds of years ago, had been at the hands of a Church made suspicious by his healing of his flock: he needed to reach far back indeed for the connection he wanted to offer the boy.  But then again, what was time, really, but another story people told on this side of things?
     
    “Something happened to you in the Forest, Mr. Potter. Did it not?”
    A nighttime conversation, soon after the Battle of Hogwarts.
