This story was definitely a challenge as these are two characters I’ve never written before. I hope you enjoy it! I had a lot of fun developing Penelope’s character and background. I admit that I have something of a fascination with strong women who can’t quite figure out how to navigate how to be strong without being rigid, which is what I attempted to do here. I also loved building upon what we know of Oliver and making him more than just ‘that bloke obsessed with Quidditch.’ He’s still obsessed with Quidditch, but muses willing, there’s more to him now. I sincerely hope nothing contradicts the books. All the information on Puddlemere United and all the trappings is accurate as far as I can tell. Thanks so much to my beta, kino, and to the mods of Clever Claws!
