TEAM PHOENIX ENTRY: CruiseDirector "A Pastoral Interlude"
Title: A Pastoral Interlude
Author: cruisedirector
Team: Phoenix
Genre(s): Romance
Prompt(s): Career Change, Time Capsule
Rating/Warnings/Kinks: R; Mild adult language, fairly discreet offscreen sex. Drag mouse over space if you wish to know more: *Past-tense minor character death.*
Word Count: ~12,000
Summary: On an unhappy Christmas Eve in Somerset, Harry finds the last person he expects to see cooking in the kitchen of an inn.
A/N: Betas: The wonderful dementordelta and the amazing celandineb.
Disclaimer: Some ideas for recipes came from Maxime de la Falaise's Seven Centuries of English Cooking, though I borrowed mostly lists of ingredients. The King's Arms Inn is a real place in Shepton Mallet, but to the best of my knowledge, wizards must make reservations there the same way as everyone else.

Waaaaa~ *flails* Lovely! This was just wonderful! >______< ~♥ Gah~ I loved it all so much! The mess that Teddy and James got into was eerie and slightly chilling, and i love that Harry's family isn't this picture perfect thing the epilogue makes it out to be. You Snape was perfect and so in character for me! And Harry as well! Ahhh~ Just fantastic~ I need to reread this~ ^____^

Thank you so much! The epilogue rang totally phony and wrong to me...it's never that simple, and when Lily dropped that line about Teddy not really being one of the family unless he managed to marry Victoire, it really set my alarm bells off. But I have issues with Harry and Ginny as a couple too...what will she be like when she realizes he's not the hero she adored when she was 11 but a real person with needs and unhappiness from his own childhood to work through? So this all came out of that!
