But rumor continues to follow them like the darkest of clouds, and Sophia must adapt to her new existence as a false widow with no prospects beyond the doors of her small cottage. Lord Haughton - "Finn" to those close to him - will stop at nothing to prevent the slightest whiff of disgrace from tainting his family's name. When he learns of his younger brother's latest indiscretion-one that leaves a bastard child in his wake-Haughton rushes across the country to offer the boy's mother a comfortable living in exchange for her silence about the child's true parentage. But he arrives only to have his generous offer thrown back in his face by Sophia Brixton, a sharp-tongued and sharper-witted woman who proceeds to toss him out of her house. But just because he is banished from her home does not mean he is so easily banished from her life.

Brave. Strong. Beautiful. Sassy. Bad ass. The story of Minerva McGonagall.

Things are unstable at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. A chilled feeling of unease has replaced any sense that the castle could remain a safe haven to teach and learn magic. With the misfortunes of the previous year behind them, Fred and George arrive to find the castle infested with bats, launching rumors that there may be a vampire at the school. Although the twins have returned in high spirits, poised to claim new ground as pranksters and as Beaters for the Gryffindor team, nothing is ever easy for the Boy Who Was Twins. The new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher has it out for them, detentions are piling up, and with Albus Dumbledore gravely ill and near-fatal accidents occurring on and off the Quidditch pitch, a fear of death looms. As school life becomes more than problematic by the day, an enemy of Professor Quirrell arrives to wreak havoc and an evil presence makes itself known in the forbidden forest. A presence that will challenge everything. Will the twins be pushed beyond their limits when things go from difficult to dire? Who is the mysterious Alchemist, Nicholas Flamel? And how will the events of the year draw Fred and George closer to their destiny? =================== :: Updates for FRED AND GEORGE AND THE ELIXIR OF LIFE: Hopefully every other day.

"It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn't much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband, and the father of three school-age children. While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places." HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD (The M.
