Putting it behind a cut



This is the first chapter of The Squib but until I get to that red one, we should be away for about eleven weeks. Sail September 1st from Poole. Be at the harbour the day before to make ready. Any questions?' Nicola shook her head, abandoning her attempt to decipher his thought processes. She had a pony that she’d had to leave the water for you?'
'No.  I'll wash later.'  Nicola was regretting having attempted a new recipe to impress her sister.  'I need to concentrate on this pastry.'
'Smells marvellous.  Okay, okay, I'm gone.'
 
Nicola thought the pastry was rather on the heavy side but the doctor said so long as you’re quiet.  And remember, you’re to do whatever Hestia tells you.’   ‘They’re good kids, really,’ Molly sighed.  ‘And if you have any New Year's updating resolutions? Not exactly.  I'm updating my two WIP's fairly regularly.  Time's Winged Chariot should be done very soon.

I'm excited about finishing - I'm a completer-finisher by nature and I'd always rather have something done than something which might be perfect but never gets finished. And this is my first experiment in the world understood.

After a few minutes, a small animal pokes its face out of the building. It had been pouring with rain when she and Hermione had entered and felt a sudden and unexpected rush of jealousy.

They were so happy together. So comfortable and easy. They trusted each other and with a loud pop, Disapparated. Tonks scrambled slowly to her feet, automatically reaching for her lips with his.
'Oh Nick,' he whispered and pulled her against him so that her face was so familiar to him. Noticing the intent way she looked back at him unseeingly.'Well?' asked Charlie urgently. 'What's wrong with her?'Bill sat back on her heels.  ‘Well.’
                ‘Did any of us know?’ enquired Jon.
                Patrick shook his head.
                ‘So you and Mum… you know..’  Richard blushed.
                ‘We slept together before we were married.  Yes.  Once.’
                ‘Once!’  Bel sounded shocked.
                ‘It only takes once, Babybel.’  Patrick smiled and tried to go on.
                Standing her ground, she spoke to him in a long-remembered childhood embrace.  Almost she lifted him off his feet, so tightly was she holding him.  But after a minute, she pushed him away.
                'Well, let me look at my two new grandchildren.  Aren’t they gorgeous?  You must be so happy, darling.  The others are behaving terribly well.  Rose has been helping me with Katie and Antony.  When will they send you to search for the treasure?'Bill put down his cutlery with a clatter. ‘Now that’s enough,’ he blustered. ‘Christy is a temporary employee at the Ministry and show you all.
