Hi,

I know – its been along time since I've posted but I have my reasons. I started a new job working in a remote community and now all I have is time – will when I'm not working that is.

So this story will be posted as it's own story as I have been rewatching Scandal and my muse is typing like no tomorrow. I apoligise to any Olitz fans but I'm still going with my FemHarry kick.

Enjoy and I will be updating the other stories soon. Don't worry – I haven't abandoned them – just been a little too busy...which sucks but hey, I got a job.

Title – Flame Trees

World – Scandal/Harry Potter

Pairing – FemHarry/Fitzgerald Grant the Third

Plot – Gilly Pope – adopted sister of Olivia Pope-Weasley and adopted daughter of Maya Pope and Command officer Eli Pope aka Rowan. And if that wasn't hectic enough, she was the saviour of the British Wizarding World and the world in general. And her soulmate? Well, he happens to the Governor and in the race to be the future leader of the Free World. (So this story is a split chapter story - like one chapter will take place in the past, like during the election, before Defiance etc and then the next chapter will take place in the Scandal seasons - most significant events will be in this story and i'll be adding my own twist to it. And Olivia is happily married to Charlie Weasley...I know – to all Olitz shippers, I had an idea and I wanted to test it out – but don't worry, Olivia and Fitz are good friends, or they will become good friends).

Also, The timeline has changed a little to adjust for the show – I understand that the first season of Scandal takes place in early 2012 – so that means the election was in 2010...

Face Claim for Gilly – Katie McGrath (I looooovvvveee her and she's who I picture. She's getting pretty good with an American accent due to being on Supergirl but when she does her interviews, her Irish accent shines through. So she's who I picture as Gilly, the girl who spent most of her life back and forth between America and Hogwarts)

Prologue

Gilly's POV

May 2010

I stared at the face of my sister, wondering if she was being mad or not. She had just given up her job at her law firm to take a job as one of the campaign managers on a governor's campaign trail to be president. It wasn't that she couldn't do it – my sister could do the job but it was the why I had to try and get my head around. She had only just recently made partner at her law firm – a position she had been working her arse off for and I couldn't understand why she would leave - I was trying but ultimately I was failing.

"So, let me get this straight. Our old lecturer, Professor Beene, has asked you onto the Grant campaign trail and help them raise/fix the campaign so that they rise up to the top. In other words, basically you're going to give up your life for some random guy who may or may not become President?" I uttered, my eyes squinting as I watched my sister Olivia pack her bags.
