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.

I convinced someone whose fic I betaed to change a Christening to something else and then felt totally validated when Bill and Fleur didn't have a church wedding and Remus and Tonks didn't have a Christening, for which I was very grateful. But they always call the winter solstice-time festival "Christmas" -- not Yule, which seems to be the holiday they're actually celebrating. I figure that for Harry and Hermione who grew up Muggle, it makes sense to call it Christmas, but for someone like Lucius Malfoy I'd almost think it would be a point of pride NOT to. (I made him thoroughly Pagan when I wrote his holiday festivities, heh.) I wish there were someone actually Jewish in the wizarding world as opposed to someone with just a name that could be, like Anthony Goldstein, but that's a different can of worms...
