As Remus has his experience, Tonks has hers...

Tonks smiles up at the figure at the سب, سب سے اوپر of her fountain. It's a dancer, slender, elegant, and graceful; Tonks laughs because the dancer's face and hair resemble hers, and she is none of those things. She watches a butterfly, ghostly white and fragile, alight on a dry patch on the rim of the fountain. "Wotcher, flutterby," she says softly, then laughs when the tiny thing flits up and lands on her shoulder. It's there for only a سیکنڈ یا two, just long enough to uncoil its tongue, then coil it up again. She barely has time to smile at it and then...

Ok, some of the feathered folk of the White City. The little symbol that appears with each bird's name is that bird's sigil; if for some reason their name needs to be put to paper, their sigil is drawn instead.




Alphion, clutch-brother of Cambion; he is not presently attatched to any Magical, but acts totally of his own accord. He is loud, very friendly, and very passionate about fighting the Dark Lord.



Anubis is a Hooded Crow, brought from Egypt but ultimately not purchased سے طرف کی the Magical who had requested him. The merchant, whose دکان was in the Muggle village outside of the White...

With Loki tucked safely into a pocket made specially for the little raven just inside his travelling cloak, he slips out of this new happy home. He is content with the knowledge that he has them both together, and they're both safe; worrying about Elsbet was stressful enough, but Malfoy at the 'mercy' of the Dark Lord was just too much. It's a cool night here, and the air is filled with the soft chirruping of crickets. Nice night for a walk. He makes his way to the Park District, his thoughts racing. He makes no effort to slow them, to bring his دل and mind back into line and under his tight...

Therion wipes his eyes as the images, thoughts and feelings flow to him. He's never experienced Legilimency in such a deep, profound way, and he doesn't know how to repay Snape for the kindness and trust he's دکھانا him سے طرف کی sharing this.

'Dey mind آپ of love...' Loki looks back down at the pretty objects, then gently nips Snape's chin. 'Love is good,' he thinks, and Snape enfolds the little raven in his embrace, his body trembling. "Yes," he whispers, "love is good."

Once he has calmed himself, which takes some time, he places Loki back on his بستر and then places the beads and the ring back...

I've been doing some re-reading and I've realized a couple of adjustments are in line. When I first mentioned the White City, I had no idea it was going to become what it has, and now that is has...er...become...you know... :p There's a deatil یا two that don't make any sense now, so I've fixed them.

They be:

Where it read:

"The Sensei says that there is an increase in activity of Dark creatures in and around the city. So far there have been no direct attacks on anyone, though there are reports of people's pets going missing. That's not surprising, considering three werewolves were sighted...

As Snape passes through the little window into the guestroom, he begins his shiftback, and when he lands, he realizes that Therion is gone. Malfoy and Elsbet are still wrapped up together, but now they're covered securely with the blanket. It's a very touching sight, but...he's disappointed. Was it too much for Therion? Was it not what he expected? Did he feel he was somehow being disloyal to his lost lover? Group sex and open relationships aren't for everyone, Snape is well aware of that; he never imagined it would be for himself, but now that it's happened for him, he wouldn't have it any...

سے طرف کی the time Snape makes it to the White City, Loki is healed totally and with Malfoy, back in Therion's shop. Snape finds the back reading room full of people, some of whom he's not seen in quite some time, and some he's never met. All he cares about is his Familiar and his lovers, a hot meal and a good long fuck, but there is protocol to be observed. As a path is cleared for him, he is struck سے طرف کی a wave of relief; Andromeda Tonks is safe, and seated between Remus and her daughter. As soon as she sees Snape, she rises and thanks him, and tells him that she can't believe everything that's happened...

Snape's morning began with him getting Neville and Luna out to Hagrid's first thing, before the Carrows even awoke. "Make certain this takes all day. I do not wish to see these two back in the قلعہ until the end of classes today," he told Hagrid, then looked down at the two students he's come to respect, though he'll probably never admit it to anyone. "Mr. Longbottom," Snape had کہا quietly, "do attempt to return in one piece." With a raised brow and slight smirk he'd left them then, and turned back toward the castle. He'd not taken but a few steps before he heard Luna say happily, "Oh,...
