Summary:

Ten minutes later Harry’s drying his hair while staring in his own eyes in the mirror and not moping. Never mind that he's twenty-four and already feels due for a midlife crisis. Never mind that he’s desperate enough for human company that he's considering getting a haircut just for the awkward scalp massage (and even more awkward questions about his scar) while being shampooed and then inviting Dudley out for drinks. He is a fully grown adult making the adult decision of working the entire week leading up to Christmas Day, since there’s a conspicuous lack of other places to be, and he isn't going to start moping about it now.

“I'm not,” he tells his reflection decisively. His voice is hoarse from lack of use.

The reflection has no response.

omg, your kidlet wrote a fic!

[china_shop]

Aww! Great summary, too! Hee!

I just have to take a moment to say...wow. The cognitive dissonance of the kids of people I have known forever in fandom publishing fanfic is extreme and surreal. *g* Go kidlet! But still.

I know, right? It's astonishing. I met a lot of y'all while poking around in chatrooms and mailing lists with a little baby sleeping on my shoulder, and here we are.

I don't know which is more wonderful: second generation fictitious, or that they feel free to share with you

Everything about this delights me. I have marked it to read, as it is late enough on a work night that I need to go to bed, but I'm looking forward to it!

Really amazing timing, as I was just rereading Transfigurations yesterday (I was trying to remember the name of the Transauditum spell and accidentally the whole thing).
