Grand Central Station Is Frozen

The Kingscote Term

This is a story I've had in mind to write for a while now. It was originally going to be quite a lot longer and include a lot more juicy staff room gossip. I was slightly stymied by a canon fact I'd forgotten (did you know that Miss Hellier leaves 3 days after the 'incident'? So I couldn't do the play and the Cricket Cup and the Prosser and all those fun things.) Sorry. Anyway, it seemed to fit with one of ankaret 's unfulfilled Yuletide requests, though I'm not sure this is quite what she had in mind when she wanted something set at Kingscote. 

It'll probably be incomprehensible if you've never read Antonia Forest's marvellous 'The Cricket Term'.

This from the latest chapter of Kate's story at Phoenix Song:

Suddenly, Molly was excited about getting ready for Christmas. 'Oh Charlie,' she said as she made scrambled eggs and sausages. 'Did you know that Ginny is going to the Yule Ball?'

'She told me that the boy she wished she was going with hadn't asked her but that she was happy to be going at all. I wonder why Harry didn't ask her?'

'I don't think he realizes that she is a girl yet,' said Molly with a smile. 'You were equally clueless about that nice little Rosemary when you were Harry's age. You called her Ros from Oz, just like she was one of the boys.'

'Humph!' said Charlie tucking into his breakfast.

Hee! As I said in my review, clueless!Charlie is still cute!Charlie, and some of us don't mind being treated like one of the boys. Most of the time.
