The Maple Bookshelf

Christmas is still more than a month away but this was lovely just the same.

Scarrington? Hilarious nickname. So this is 'A wonderful life' HP's style and no I'm no fond of flashbacks but if you are, glad you enjoyed reading your fics again.

Yes, Cygnus, better explain. I'm lost. No idea what Hermione's mood is all about.

I'm sure the clues are in the previous stories but I don't feel like reading them again so I must go on.

I have been away, reading fics somewhere else, yet, I missed TMB so much! It's nice to have a small site with different stories to read and not all of the same fandom. Rambling done because I should be writing a review not a letter.

Even though this is just the first chapter I could feel some of the sadness Hermione is feeling. Something is missing, she thinks is an object without which her xtmas might not be the same. There have been times during some of my past Christamases when I have felt as if something is not right, out of place and then I look at my children and that feeling is gone replaced by gratitude and love. I hope Hermione finds what she is looking for so that her Christmas is a happy one.
