Warnings: future SLASH (boy x boy), MAJOR NO-MAGIC!AU (Alternate Universe, specifically the Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town setting), possible OOC, life story
Pairings: TMR/HP, implied AD/GG, implied KS/NT (Kingsley x Tonks), onesided JP/LE
Standard disclaimer applies: I do not own Harry Potter or any brand you recognize in this story. J.K. Rowling is credited with the creation of these characters (I'm not fond of using OCs in my own fanfiction). I also do not own the Harvest Moon series by Natsume.
Since it was winter, the town had a new temporary resident—or at least, a returning one. Rodolphus Lestrange came every winter to take full advantage of the winter mines, and perhaps do a bit of wooing himself.
He was an aloof man, Tom observed, but that melted away into a mere cover whenever he was around Bellatrix. And because Bella actually liked someone else this year, the town was worried what would happen when the two met.
As it turns out, Tom and Rodolphus got along splendidly, avoiding mention of Bellatrix. The latter seemed to sense his complete disinterest.
Posted in its full form on Ao3, except for the sequel and the eventual epilogue :). I'll be posting 5 of these per a day (I think?), but because it's long that might become 10 a day.
