Fic: Meeting the Weasleys
Thanks to everyone who read this the first time round and made helpful comments. I've revised the whole thing slightly - particularly my Percy chapter.

Prologue: A Strong and Independent Woman
Chapter One: Surprised by Ron
Chapter Two: Impressed by Percy
Chapter Three: Intrigued by Bill
Chapter Four: Overwhelmed by Fred and George
Chapter Five: Held by Charlie


Art: A Year of Living Dangerously
This won't make any sense unless you've read the opening chapter of stmargarets  wonderful story 'A Year of Living Dangerously' featuring the original thinking woman's crumpet, Charlie Weasley, and her lovely OC, Kathleen Pen. I'm certain these aren't the pictures that were in St M's mind as she wrote, and (given my artistic limitations) they're not quite the pictures that were in my head as I read, but they're as close an approximation as I can get. A story like that, full of action and drama, was just begging for illustration in my view. And I had a lot of fun with biceps, freckles and red hair. And made myself face up to some of my demons - faces, hands and hair. If you click on the images, you get a proper sized picture.

*grins* Your reaction makes me very happy too!

It was so much fun doing these, honestly. You write such vivid descriptions that it was easy to visualise each scene. I think the only thing I made up was the clothes each is wearing. Even the red leatherette seat in the coach is yours! And when I put the four together and realised how they fell into the two pairs, I realised how well constructed your story was. The parallel situations of each hanging on by magic, connected to the other, alternated with the parallel situations of sitting close to each other, first in defence and second in escape.

The horses were fun to draw - though I did forget to put the wings on at first. LOL. That's kind of why the wings are quite small and a bit translucenty, because I didn't want to have to change anything else.

Where are Charlie's arms in canon?!? I must go and look immediately.

Goblet of fire - where Harry first meets Bill and Charlie. Talk about your crumpet! He smiles. He's muscular and tanned and has a shiny scar on his arms. Can't you just see it now?

Always.
