Hello my darlings, here's a lovely new sneak peak of chapter two for you, introducing a whole host of favourite characters!
There's a little competition waiting for you there too, but you'll have to check out The Fishbowl Between the Worlds for that!
Happy reading!

Extract from
Chapter Two
The Departure
...
"You know, bottom in the air is a good look for you." He added conversationally. "You should do it more often."
"And you're a misogynist and I wish I never had to see you again. We can't all get what we want." I replied tersely, trying to move past him into the now deserted corridor. He stuck out his foot and I nearly went flying.
"Really mature," I clenched my fists in an attempt to stop them from finding Mr-I'm-So-Perfect's smug face. "But if you would excuse me, I have people to avoid."
"Hey, don't be like that." He caught my arm as I turned to open the train door. "I was saw that you hadn't gotten off the train and I wanted to make sure you were okay."
"Well as you can see, I'm fine." I waved my arms around. "Perfectly splendid. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a toad to deliver."
He had to have the last word of course, I pushed through in front of me, casually leaning in the doorway to block my path. His rangy grace didn't disguise the bands of muscle encircling his arms as he casually reached out, pulling on a lock of my hair.
"Is your hair usually this mud coloured?" He asks, so casually you might have thought he was asking if it was raining.
"Ooh, you, you utter rat!" Unable to contain myself I balled my fists and let fly. Unfortunately for me, the train chose that moment to judder to life and Sirius dropped lightly to the platform. With nothing to stop my momentum my punch went wide and - oh curses, why did they always come undone at the most inconvenient time possible? - I slipped on my lace, falling forwards, straight towards the stone of the platform.

So there we are my darlings, another chapter. Don't forget my challenge!
Have a wonderful day!
