    Summary

    This is what I think about to clear my head when I'm stuck on a part in The Aileni. That one is still ongoing, and the next chapter is being written right now, but I needed to get some other stuff out of my brain to focus. So you get this.

    Rick Taft is retired at just under forty, ready to enjoy the fruits of a long career in the nominal employ of MACUSA, meeting interesting people, and killing them. Or just meeting them. He didn't kill EVERY person he met.
    He and his wife, who, he freely admits, is scarier than he is, settle in a quiet English village because they fell in love with London on R&R a decade or so ago but were in no way willing to shell out the coin for a place in the city.

    They weren't expecting the neighbor kid.

    Bear with me as I word-vomit this story about a guy who fought in wizarding wars as the Scariest Squib In The World, retired to a peaceful life, and became a parent rather suddenly because he's never been the kind of guy to turn a blind eye.

    Support Harry as he's raised by a couple of retired MACUSA special operators whose idea of education involves international travel and swear words. Pray for him when he tries to talk to a girl with his dad around.

    Summary

    Harry had simply meant to withdraw a coin or two for postage.

    “Do we have a deal, Mister Potter?”, the small creature asked, voice lilting from his usual monotone to an uncharacteristic touch of amusement and- and something else unsettling.

    “And this will… I can live with someone else?”, Harry asked, his hands clasped behind him hesitantly edging forward.

    “With my help, yes indeed. For the right price of course.”, It's beady black eyes sparkled.

    ‘No more living with the Dursleys.’, a voice in his mind harrumphed.

    Right.

    Right!

    “It's a deal then.”, the boy nodded, his earlier nervousness washing away with a determined fire in his chest as he reached forward.

    “Splendid. Welcome to Gringotts Attorney Wing Mister Potter.”

     

    Or: After his first year at Hogwarts, Harry wants to exchange Wizarding money to muggle currency to write his new friends letters. A few misunderstandings with some of Gringotts Goblins lands him a lawyer instead.

    Summary

    Harry had always longed for a real family; the messy, loud, teasing kind he’d never known and on this quiet, lonely night, that ache felt sharper than ever.

    But tonight wasn’t like the others. Tonight, that longing got a very unusual and thoroughly chaotic answer: courtesy of the twins, in all their infuriating, wonderful glory.
