A.N. — We're off to Hogwarts tomorrow, so gotta get in one last non-school-related character before September starts a parade of them. This guy was caught in a break-in on this date, related to two earlier August drabbles. He was Imperiused by Lucius Malfoy like Broderick Bode, and was caught by Eric Munch.
243. Sturgis Podmore
Sturgis Podmore was 38 and had already fought in two wars. Some saw positives — he survived them! Others skewed pessimistic — two wars! Sturgis just viewed it as everyday life.
He'd been so inexperienced when Voldemort first terrorized Britain. Now, Sturgis was a hardened veteran well before retirement age. An Azkaban stint because of Order business was yet another notch on his quest to cram a lifetime's hardships into mere decades, but Sturgis bore it stoically.
If the Order disbanded, he honestly didn't know what he'd do with himself. The thought of a settled life felt foreign, not comforting to Sturgis.
