The Snapelets Ride Again

[rj_anderson]

In response to the overwhelming support for this scene on the poll I ran a couple of weeks ago, it's...

The Birthday Party
In which Malcolm's coming of age goes pear-shaped in several different ways, thanks to the involvement of Albion, Margot, Geoff Weasley, and a girl named Susannah.

If Margot were annoyed, she gave no sign of it. "You'll have to excuse my brother," she said. "Dropping broad hints that I'm a Dark sorceress with ambitions of world domination is one of his few amusements these days."

ETA: Please note that this is not a complete story in itself, but rather a scene from a much longer WiP, and goes along with the four earlier scenes from the same WiP that I've posted in the past.

Wow. That family can be stifling. They all have such ... presence. Great job in showing that; it sucks us right in and makes us weep when we reach the end, realizing there's no more (unless you have a huge writing frenzy hidden somewhere). I pity the person who walks into the room where the Snape family is -- especially if that person doesn't have a strong sense of self. Maud's very soothing, though. She helps create a nice balance in that whirlwind.


And Margot's intriguing. What exactly are her plans? Should I know them? If not, can I? =)
