nevermind-the-lennox:

I just imagine Scorpius dragged Bea along to some swanky Malfoy event and she’s sitting down while he chats everybody up and she’s all bored and pouty because they ran out of cake.

I… just had a dream where I was at Bea and Scorpius’ wedding. Everyone was sitting down at the reception and Draco was telling a story about Scorpius being on the internet, and Scorpius, who makes his entrance into the reception area via wooden slide while transfigured as a giant piece of celery, was like ‘but hoW COULD WE HAVE HAD INTERNET’ and Draco just nodded wisely, ‘we had internet.’

Muggle rules were hard-coded by formulas and physical limits, but magic was breathable. It made up its own rules when it was bored and filled in the gaps of science, an axiom here, a miracle there. - And Capers Ensue 19

Hello from airport wifi!

THAT WOULD BE PERFECT, return of my sanity ?????? Baha, I just didn’t feel like officially putting anything in there at the moment. I’m likely going to reread/edit all of Capers because it has been SO LONG. Standard procedure for me heh, but I may add new details, which I don’t usually do. I always meant to get into their family life more, etc. and er I madee up a lot of things as I went, so still trying to bridge those a bit. But I’ll mention here if I add anything important. Then I’ll write the last three chapters in a row, because it’s basically one ending split into three chapters. The last one is likely set ~3 years later. gubs already witnessed me getting emotional over thinking about it.

“…OH DEAR MERLIN, THERE ARE FIRST YEARS IN THIS ROOM, HANNAH!”

Hannah quickly extracted herself from straddling Jeremy’s lap and stopped what seemed to be inhaling his face.

Capers

Every first week of school, some first year would go missing for a whole day only to stagger out of the maze in the dead of night, gasping for food and water.

Rose brightened, almost to the point where she wouldn’t scare away first years on sight.

It was almost as if a parade were marching past the room, but Hogwarts hadn’t had one since one of the first years got stuck in their fly-trap tuba.

The no-holds barred rush commenced to the refreshments table; three first years were harmed in the process.

 James swung her around (another two first years were harmed)

etc. etc. surprisingly does not have much first year abuse, but they like to appear out of nowhere

We jostle past the feverish first years bounding out of Herbology.

I’m heading back to the dungeons when this first year barrels down the hallway out of nowhere.

A first year leaps into view behind Babbling, followed by three more girls.

i like to imagine there’s a small army of small witches and wizards ready to trip over their feet on cue

for Julia — and me, because I didn’t make it :’D — ‘We Killed Scorpius’ monkey bread made by my friend/occasional beta Sally ~

plottwistandshout:

for Gina, because the many miles between us prevents the existence of real ‘we killed Scorpius’ cake.

And Capers Ensue Ch. 24 preview

I half-intended this but it’s kind of funny now that I think about it. Bea has extremely high standards for male attractiveness. There’s James, Teddy, Xavier, Scorpius. All extremely unattainable, too (well, one for being a professor and another for being gay).

but wow girl’s got good taste.
