Title: Greeting the Magpie

Author: yellowhorde

Notes: This was written for the LiveJournal community, hp100. Challenge #117 – 'Omens, Portents, and Visions'

GREETING THE MAGPIE

Molly hadn't always been a superstitious woman, but times were different now with the return of You-Know-Who. As a mother with most of her family, including herself, involved with the Order of the Phoenix, she worried… a lot.

She glanced up at the clock with nine hands; each inscribed with a family member's and pointed to 'mortal peril', then out the window.

Her heart froze.

There, sitting on the windowsill, was a lone magpie.

She forced a cheerful smile and waved. "Good morning, Captain."

And hoped that her greeting would remove any bad omens it was carrying about her family.
