Summary
`Disposable children` is a Marauders-era AU that spans both wizarding wars, exploring taboo, identity, and the difference between absence and death.
Slow burn, character-driven, and unapologetically OC-centric.Excerpt:
“My question is… is magic more like running or like thinking? Is it an extension of thought? Or does it require athleticism?”
“It’s about wanting. Of course, it depends on what kind of magic you’re performing. Some spells wear you out, like you’ve run miles. But you don’t feel it in your arms, nor in your legs. It’s more up here.” He tapped his temple. “And in here.” He tapped his chest.
“Ok, but you agree that it doesn’t appear stochastically. It’s a heritable trait,” she said, braiding and braiding and braiding her hair.
“If you’re talking about blood purity, that’s rubbish. Magic doesn’t care about family trees,” he said.
“Don’t get all political on me. That’s not what I meant,” she replied sardonically, then added, “I mean that nothing in biology makes sense except in light of evolution.”
“You’re not considering the mystery of it…” Sirius began, with great self-importance.
