It's another quick one as I still feel really rough and need to go to bed. I'm hoping I improve by the morning or Christmas Day is going to be really miserable.
Hermione has returned to work but Sylvia has several nasty surprises up her sleeve. Is there anything she can do to stop her, or has her boss finally managed to outsmart her?
See you tomorrow.

The Recluse - Chapter Three
Good evening all,
This is really a short one tonight as Father Christmas has sent me an early and totally unwanted present and I feel like I'm about to die, with a hacking cough, sore throat and the shivers and I need to go to bed in hopes of sleeping it off.
It's time for the third chapter of The Recluse, and Hermione has finally arrived at Malfoy Manor to undertake the itemising of the estate's treasures. But will Draco help or hinder her in the process, and is she able to keep her own inquisitiveness in check?
Hopefully, I'll be well enough tomorrow to post chapter four, even if it's the only thing I do.
Take care everyone and I'll see you tomorrow.

The Recluse - Chapter Two
Can you see the snowflakes falling on my page? I'm quite excited about them and amazed that they work.
It's time for chapter two of The Recluse and Hermione is heading to Malfoy Manor in an attempt to contact Draco about the money he owes on his father's behalf.
He's not going to be easy to track down, even if he is ensconced on the Malfoy estate. But is he actually there? And if he is, is he going to be willing to talk to Hermione?
I hope you're enjoying the story so far.
See you tomorrow for chapter three.

The Recluse - Chapter One
Hi everyone,
With Christmas almost here it's time for me to post chapter one of the first of two festive stories I've written for this year. Now, you all know that I'm an absolute sucker for a Christmas love story, especially between Draco and Hermione.
The first story is called The Recluse.
It will be posted daily over the next week - hence moving the story along in time with the date (i.e. the Christmas Day chapter will be posted on Christmas Day).
I created an image for the story, which gives hints as to what it's about. I'm not usually very good at these things but I think I've done a fairly good job with this one.
The synopsis is as follows:
The second wizarding war has been over for more than a decade. Hermione, now working for the Ministry of Magic, is given an assignment that she doesn’t particularly want and is fairly sure she can’t complete, but pride and the need to show her unreasonable boss once and for all how good she is sends her to the last place on earth she wants to go — Malfoy Manor.
This has been written and is posted as a present and a thank you to all the people who have read my stories over the last year.
I was hoping to post on Lumos as well as FFNet and AO3 to get it out to as many places as possible, but I've got a headache tonight and can't cope with sorting out the formatting etc. As there is usually a delay of a few days before it gets approved for posting it would be running late anyway, so I'll add in the links for Lumos once the whole story appears in the listings.
The story is a general romance and contains no lemons. It does contain some swearing, though, so I've rated it as T to be on the safe side.
I hope you enjoy the story, and as ever would appreciate kudos, comments and feedback.
See you tomorrow.

Family - Part Four - Chapter Three
Hi everyone,
It's finally time for the last part of Family, that I seem to have been posting for forever - although that's not a bad thing. It's nice to have a story that people can really get their teeth into.
Anyone who knows me knows that I love a happy ending, however bad the beginning might be, and this story is no exception.
It's Hattie's first day at Hogwarts and the gang are meeting on Platform 9 3/4, a bittersweet occasion as it's the final time for some of them.
I really hope you've enjoyed the story and would love to hear your comments on it.
I'm taking a break from posting for a couple of weeks to put up my decorations, get my shopping done and polish up a couple for Christmas presents for you all.
See you soon.

Family - Part Four - Chapter Two
Good morning everyone,
This is definitely going to be a quick one as I need to get to bed. I have to be up early tomorrow as I'm going away for the weekend (hence the reason for posting early) and I need more than a couple of hours sleep.
This week, Lucius has given Hermione plenty of time to come to terms with his release and now they're going on their first date. Let's hope it goes okay, eh?
Next week is the final part of Family, after eighteen weeks and a timespan of twenty-eight years. Coincidentally, it is also the day I will be putting up my Harry Potter themed Christmas tree.
As always, reviews, comments, kudos etc. are always welcome.
See you next week.

Family - Part Four - Chapter One
Happy Sunday everyone,
This week you find me feeling a bit giddy from NaNoWriMo, where I am currently about 20,000 words shy of my 50,000 word total and with only 4 days left to complete it. A tough challenge for sure, especially when I've got a touch of writer's block at the moment, but I've managed it before and I'm determined to do it this time too. So all cross your fingers for me, and it'll happen (hopefully).
Anyway, back to the current story.
This week we start a new and final part to the tale, as time moves on once again and Lucius is finally released from Azkaban, ready to start his new life with his young family. But will everyone be happy to see him or are there likely to be a few problems along the way?
Comments etc. are always welcomed, so please review if you can. I really do appreciate you taking the time to do so.
I'm off to attempt some more writing. Until next week (when hopefully I will be a NaNoWriMo winner) and I'll be posting the penultimate chapter of the story,
Stay safe and keep the faith
