[genficsanta]

Welcome to the 2013 round of hp_holidaygen! We've had some wonderful fics submitted and I'm looking forward to sharing them with you. This week I'll be posting on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Meanwhile, to start us off, I hope you enjoy this cautionary tale of Rose, Scorpius and Albus and a seasonal magical object.

This was really creative! Something tells me this Headmistress isn't the pushover they believe her to be. :)

I love the idea of a magical advent calendar. And I want one, for next year.

The ghosts of Hogwarts had been exorcised in a mysterious ceremony some years before, and while I wasn't privy to the details, it was apparently causing people in the Department of Mysteries to rethink their conceptions about imprints of departed souls and how true Beings might be able to move on, while leaving other reflections on the earth.

And of course now I want to know THIS story as well.

“James is going to laugh at us,” Rose eventually said.
“When we get detention?” said Scorpius. “Yeah, he would.”
“No, that we get into fights about the Goblin Rebellion of all things.”

*snerk* Trust Hermione's daughter for that sort of thing :D

"[I]f the answer is on the inside flap, then I'm literally standing on top of it.”
“Can you read?”
“No, it's dark in here.”I think this was my favorite line -- they have the solution right there in front of them except they were too clever by half and tipped over on it LOL

Thank you very much! I can't offer you enchantments for your Advent-calendar, unfortunately, but maybe with enough advance warning I could gather a suitably-magical collection of quotes... ;)

(I have a standalone oneshot about the ghosts if you ever want to read it!)

What a brilliant idea! It's not often you come across a genuinely new and innovative magical gadget. I totally believed in this one - it fits beautifully into Rowling's world. Nice work!

Thank you so much, I'm flattered! :)

This was so much fun! I loved the banter and the rivalry between Rose and Scorpius, and Al's playing the mediator. Very original to get trapped in a magical Advent calendar. Wonderful story! :)
