I think I may have gone kind of over-board with the features this month. I went through all 68 pages of my favourites (I think I was trying to avoid working on the new chapter!) So, this is another gallery of inspirations – just art-works that remind me of the characters and relationships in my story (JK Rowling’s characters and relationships, I should say - I should be always saying it, but I'm afraid I forget. Would that stand up in a court of law, do you think? "I forget, your honour, I'm a bit dense, that's not against the law is it? Look, I made you a friendship bracelet... No, that's definitely not an attempt at bribing you! I'm lonely as well as dense, OK?").

Anyway, these art-works really inspired and encouraged me – they made me think not only that life was worth living, but that it was full of so many beautiful things that I’d actually burst if I didn’t start trying to write them down.

I also wanted to thank from the bottom of my heart for her beautiful illustration to my story (she won’t like me using the word beautiful about Severus Snape, but I can’t help it!) Her portrait of Severus with his dark wings unfolding behind him is just perfect for that scene – so darkly atmospheric and full of panicky lines and shadows. He looks so skinny and white and almost undead that it makes me shiver!



Here are some other Sev/Lily inspirations:



And some Narcissa inspirations, for good measure!
