After a magical attempt on her life in 1877, Queen Victoria launched a crusade against magic that, while tidied up by the Ministry of Magic, saw the Wizarding community exiled to Hogsmeade, previously little more than a crossroad near the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In the years that have passed since, Hogsmeade has suffered plagues, fires, and Victorian hypocrisy but is still standing firm.

Quote:This would have been very disturbing anyway but then Pet's eye popped out and started rolling along the bottom of the boat. Great. Maybe she would be so fortunate as to have a kraken surface nearby and pluck her off the ship with one of its tentacles and kindly drown her.

Everything surrounding Edmund's death was inconvenient, down to the very season he perished in.

Quote:"Thank you. I knew he was going to die, though. I have come to terms with it already. Nobody survives very long with a dent in their head," she replied, blinking rapidly in some attempt to clear the images from her head. (In hindsight, she'd realize that no child should have ever seen a body in such a state, even if it was her father and he wanted to see her before he died.)Charity Lloyd in A Beginning or an End?

Quote:"I do hope," he answered at last, is tone soft, measured, and plainly greatly restrained, "that this is not the same Melody Finch whose father so badly yearned for your head that you had to go to Canada to keep it on your shoulders," a breath, before adding with great enunciation that betrayed all the anger and disappointment he had worked so hard to rein in, "empty thing though it is."
Quote:...Ben had known for years that he wasn't supposed to be talking with Melody Finch — and, it logically followed, he was certainly not supposed to be procuring illegal potions for her, secreting her out of her bedroom window for secret midnight conversations on rooftops, or making out with her in closets at parties. All of which he had done, and which had led to this unfortunate predicament.Reuben Crouch in Damage Control
Quote:Well, that was that then. Miss Finch was ruined, Reuben was ruined, Aldous was...not ruined, for he was not a young debutante whose future was tied to those of his siblings, but certainly not in awesome shape.Aldous Crouch in Damage Control

Quote:“Oh, pass me my shoes, would you?” This was to Loretta, of course, regardless of having just snapped at her. Odira did her best to be polite but Loretta was almost always likely to be the more submissive. (A shame she had been born too high in station to make a reputable housemaid, really. She would have done well in that life - one day she would have even made a perfect frumpy old housekeeper for someone!)Calliope Zabini in grow up and blow away

Quote:Ari opened his mouth to warn her that rubbing her eye with so inkstained a hand was only going to make her look like a panda, but he decided not to interrupt, and merely let her go on.Ari Fisk in When There's Nothing Left to Burn
Quote:“The good kind of hard?” Ari asked lightly, supposing that ‘showing interest’ was a largely inoffensive strategy. He did know a feeling or two when it came to work, though they did so in different fields: but they both solved problems, of a kind. Tried to fix things. “A puzzle that takes a bit of thinking? Or - bad hard? Like you don’t even know where to start?” Sometimes grappling with a problem that mattered - that had consequences - could be stimulating; one could throw all their time and energy into it, and plumb the depths of all logic and all ideas until coming up with a solution. (She looked like she’d been putting in rather a lot of thought.)
But there was a tipping point with every problem, wasn’t there? When it became too vast and too daunting and too painful to look at, let alone figure out.
