The war is over, the castle has been repaired, and life at Hogwarts is returning to normal—until mysterious letters start to arrive from "Lady Wandsdown." Bridgerton meets Harry Potter.
This was my gift for 2021 HoggyWartyXmas, and I couldn't have been luckier than to have the brilliant kellychambliss writing for me.
The story, a mystery with a touch of Hogwarts-flavored Regency gossip at its center, is as satisfying and decadent as a mug of really good eggnog spiked with one's favorite distilled beverage.
It features an unknown correspondent with a wry wit and keen powers of observation making matches and hay with my favorite characters' quirks and secrets. Reading it was the most (legal) fun I could have had at the holidays.
The tone is cheeky and clever, and as an added bonus, there's an elf with a self-improvement bent and hilariously expanded vocabulary, plus a helpfully unhelpful portrait!Albus, both of which give the fic just the right touch of whimsy and made me giggle like a drunken Christmas-tree fairy.
I don't think I'll be spoiling anything by telling you the ending is a treat that contains one of my favorite tropes.
