Description
"This Time, Last Time" is the story of James Mason, a Professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, who's trying to balance a present that's making him confront a past he's buried deep down for eleven years. Asked to return to his former position in the auror's office at the Ministry of Magic during the summer holiday, James finds himself juggling not only a complicated investigation to protect the International Statute of Secrecy, but a personal life that was difficult enough to maneuver before he found himself back in the same space as Elise Walsh, the girl he once almost married. Between coming to terms with an ending neither one of them properly addressed, and helping his widowed best friend Raigan to raise her daughter Piper, James' loyalties are stretched thin. Written in alternating time periods, "This Time, Last Time" takes place between the early 2000s, in the years immediately following the second wizarding war, and the late 20-teens. (Author's Note: "This Time, Last Time" takes place wholly in the Harry Potter Universe. However it uses no canon characters, except by mention. Everything in JK Rowling's series exists as absolutely true in this book, but all characters are of my own creation. The world-conflict in this story is a succession of that mentioned in my other book "ELIXR." It is absolutely not necessary to read the first to understand this book. They are completely standalone. However, their world is synonymous and many of the major characters in this book make appearances in "ELIXR" and vice versa.)
