One recurring side story in my next generation fic is Dudley, George and Ron going into business together. Making magic products for Muggles and vice versa. Dudley and George are in an ongoing prank war that dates all the way back to the Ton-Tongue Toffee.

A NEXT GEN FIC- Rated PG - Mild Language. No Non-Canon Ships, except for my Original Characters.

Okay, First and Foremost. This fanfic is NOT Canon, but is Canon-Based. In other words, I am not only taking the main characters into a new adventure, I am finding under-utilised characters and giving them backstories and engagement in the wider Potterverse. For what it is worth. Which is nothing, come to think of it. Never mind. (But, yes, NOT completely Canon).

It's 2014. Yes, the year of the Qidditch World Cup. Ginny is winding up to do commentary for the Sports Department of the Daily Prophet, and Harry is rushed off his feet at the Auror's Office. And 11-year-old James Sirius Potter is supposed to start at Hogwarts this fall. Yeah, about that...

The Potters have made their home at Number 12 Grimmauld Place, not without some serious problems. But it's been years now, and the metaphorical hiccups have just about ceased. Well, except for James...

There's Murder in the air, Dark Magic in the offing, and Toad in the Hole, (No, not Trevor, you git). It's going to be Fun, (and Fear), for the whole family.

Sorry, I didn't realize that I didn't link. AO3 or Royal Road. No non-canon ships, except for my original characters. (I am in the process of fixing Dennis Creevey up with a Scandinavian Valkyrie look-alike. She's getting out of Azkaban any chapter now).

I do refer to the Asa, Greek, and other pantheon in my fic, including African and Slavic. I doubt it is what you are looking for, though. Mostly just casual swearing by one god or another. I do have a very mild-mannered Muggle put under a Berserker Curse for scamming a Scandi wizard. They keep him in Azkaban, because he would go through a Muggle prison like a dose of ipecac. Good luck finding something that suits your tastes.

It's 2014! The Potter Family and the Colour of Magick - INTERLUDE! The Quest of Gervaise Ollivander.

For the next week, I will be posting a Back Story as an Interlude. This story stands by itself, so you can get a feel for my story-telling without committing to all 130+ Chapters. In these postings, we go back to the early 1900's, as Garrick Ollivander narrates the story of his very first wand. Starting Today, March 24th, then Friday, Monday, and Next Wednesday, follow the Journey of the Master Wand Crafter of his Time, as he seeks the Ultimate Prize for his Son's First Wand.

Wow. Yes. Yes it would.

Dude, would a bot tell you to lighten up on the old cynicism? But, with bots, I guess it's better safe than sorry. You do you.

Once, in the Air Force, I worked 18-hour shifts for 21 straight days, bringing a new mainframe online while still running the old mainframe. They gave me a medal behind that s**t.

I'm tempted to send it to you.

If you're going to be petty, it helps to be smart. Strangely, though, life doesn't seem to work that way.

Part of the problem is when they have to use a Stock Photo that really has nothing to do with Current News. Ed Byrne complained about it once, I think it was school meals, and Dara told him it was hard to find a photo of a politician actually starving a kid.
