Hi may I just say your writing is honestly one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL thing I've ever read??? I've been mentally struggling recently so naturally I turn to fanfics for distraction and comfort. And your fic honestly did everything for me. it had me giggling and then cry a little, feeling warm from head to toes, feeling happy and temporarily "healed" for the first time in months. Like in Mean Boyfriend,

“Run. And always run to me. All of that is nonsense, if you ever need to fight, you will.” He chuckled. “Lots of fight in you. Lot’s of progress too.”

May I say I legit tear up when I read that? Like that's one of the most beautiful and powerful sentences I've ever read. And not to mention

He said I used to freeze up, now I run away. Eventually I’ll fight, then I’ll be sorted. It’s progress. It’s not bad, just new.”

The way that it's both humorous and empowering is CRAZY, and it sounds so much like something Arthur would say/do. Every single fic you figured out so well with the reaction and personality of each character. it's the fact that I want to write a mini essay on how good each fic is, the family bond, the love, the emotions, and the thought process of the reader makes them feel so real and relatable, and the logic is legit. Plus, you really aren't lying when you said "super comfort fic", I vouch for that. It is exactly what I need at the moment, even if just as an puny and coward escape from reality. it's like making fruit preserves in spring to save them up for winter. I have to ration the fics so I don't read them all at once. I can't express how grateful and lucky I am having come across your writings. Your masterlist is like a box and treasure for me now, I know for fact I am going to have an extremely hard month and now I feel a little braver knowing I have something to turn to when shit about to go down. and you handle every request so gracefully and kindly. As a writer who has only just started writing and just received my first request recently, you are like a role model.

Just want to say that your writing really helped a stranger in ways you couldn't have imagined. Sending lots of love. Thank you.

Hey Love,

I don't know what to say. This is possibly the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. I started this blog as my own escape from reality, honestly nothing cowardly about it. Sometimes when your life is challenging, or you don't have the support you need the best thing you can do is create it for yourself. I learned a ton about myself through writing on here. Especially about my feelings towards fathers, family, and how I think it should be vs. what I grew up in.

That line about fighting was very much reflected by something I was going through at the time. I think it's super cool that it impacted you similarly as it was very emotional for me to write it.

Super Comfort Fic is the realm I like best. The world is already so painful so I like writing things where the characters overcome obstacles and get better together.

I am so beyond happy that my work helped you out. My blog is always open and my version of the Shelby family will always be there for you.

Also, I am so so so glad you started writing yourself. Requests or not I encourage you to write as much as you can.

Lots of love and hugs,

Jamie

Spellbound - Chamber of Secrets

Peaky Blinders X Harry Potter - Part Four

Previous Parts

Summary: This is just a short blurb about the family at the end of COS and the summer. Thinking the chapter for the end of Prisoner of Azkaban will be pretty long, and then of course I'd like to spend a lot of time on the fourth book and then moving forward as things get darker. I have a great request for the beginning of Order of the Phoenix. If you have any ideas for POA GOF OOTP HBP or DH, (or any Peaky Blinders events too) please send me a request so I can add it in.

Thanks for all the love on this series! <3

The second year of school went just as well as he had expected. A giant fucking snake tried to off him. He lay in the hospital wing already knowing what was going to happen. Ron and Hermione were both asleep. He was so thankful they would be alright. Ginny was safe, and he knew a thing or two about Voldemort so he’d write to her over the summer to see if she needed anything. Something about the pain he inflicted made a person want to turn inward and isolate, Ginny was already so quiet, he didn't want her to disappear.

He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths for a brief moment he thought maybe his family wouldn't come. He’d be in and out of the hospital wing so many times at this point maybe they got tired of coming? The feeling made him sick, he didn’t want to be a burden on his family, especially the Shelby’s.

He heard hushed voices arguing and he relaxed immediately. They pilled in through the doors and Madam Pomfrey was at a loss to try and stop all of them. You rushed in managing to escape her and landed on his bed wrapping him in a big embrace.

“I must ask you all to leave. He needs to rest! I sent you a letter confirming he is unharmed -”

“Unharmed! He’d bandaged! -” Polly snapped moving over to his side to look at his arm.

“Not to mention traumatized by the giant snake that tried to eat him,” John said following his Aunt.

“Definitely going to be some lawsuits coming your way,” Esme said giving her a hard look.

“Look at our little fighter! Snake didn't stand a fookin’ chance against our boy!” Arthur boomed, throwing a few fake punches in the air. Ron sent Harry an amused look from across the room.

“Ah Poppy, you haven't aged a day,” Sirius said with a wink handing her a box from Honey Dukes. She took the gift still trying to get a word in to respond to all the rude comments.

“Thanks for looking after him. I almost had a heart attack when I read your letter.” Remus spoke with his hand on his heart. Madam Pomfrey's flushed annoyance quickly turned to sympathy as she looked at Remus. “It’s a real relief for us to know you're here for him, I couldn't stand someone else -” Remus shook his head unable to finish. She patted his arm tenderly.

“Try to keep them quiet dear,” She said softly. “See if you can get some food into him too.” She gave Remus one last look before retiring back to her office.

Sirius gave Remus a wild look that made Harry want to burst with laughter.

“Oh don’t start with me.” Remus snapped.

“I didn't say anything.” But Sirius’s smile said it all. Harry laughed with a full heart seeing his family all together.

“Finn was caught in a school exam or he would have come along too,” Polly said.

Thomas stood at the end of his bed. He hadn’t spoken but looked at Harry in a way that meant he cared. Most people wouldn't have seen it but Harry knew it was there. Something he could trust.

“Now, how are Ron and Hermione?” You asked softly, tracing your fingertips along a newly healed gash above his eyebrow.

“Good, they will be alright.”

“Ron and Hermione, didn’t some girl get flushed down a toilet?” Arthur asked, his voice still completely too loud for a hospital wing.

“You met Moaning Murtle?” Sirius asked.

“Oh we met her alright,” Ron called out. Everyone let out a sound of greeting at Ron’s voice.

“Where is the little pumpkin head?” John called out. Ron got up and they cheered him on. He moved over to Hermione's bed next to Harry and pulled the curtain open.

Hermione gave them a big smile. She was still a deathly shade of pale, but her eyes were bright.

“The Three Musketeers,” Polly said affectionately.

“How many times is this castle going to try and kill you three, Eh?” Arthur asked shaking his head. “Should have both you come ‘round this summer to learn a few things.” Ron’s face perked up and Hermione fought the urge to laugh.

“My sister’s going to be okay. She’s still in a healing sleep.” Ron said changing the subject.

“Are you really going to file a lawsuit?” Hermione asked her eyes looking to Thomas.

“No.” Tommy said and Harry let out a breath.

“The school trying to kill you is at least half the fun,” Sirius said with a smile and Remus elbowed him in the ribs softly.

“He’s joking,” Remus said. “We will talk to Dumbledore about our concerns.”

Hermione nodded then closed her eyes again.

Thomas gave a nod of his head towards the door and everyone got the message. They needed to let them rest. The way Sirius set his face told Harry he would not be leaving.

They said their goodbyes and Polly assured him that it would only be a week till he was home again. Harry watched you get up to give Tommy a kiss and return to his side.

“You need to come home early just write to us.” He patted Harry’s foot and Harry gave him a nod.

“Thanks for coming.” He hated how emotional it sounded. Tommy waved him off.

“Couldn't keep them away. Looking forward to having you home kid.” He gave Harry a nod and then left.

Sirius, Remus, and you stayed and he was grateful. The three of you went on to tell them whispered stories of their many nights in the hospital wing. Hermione dozed off and Ron tried to keep his laughs to a minimum due to his bruised ribs.

Remus went down to the kitchens and brought back two trays of food. Ron’s eyes almost teared up.

Eventually, night fell and Madam Pomfrey gave them a hard look.

“I can stay if you want,” Sirius said, and while the comfort of having Padfoot at his feet sounded nice. He knew he would be okay. Sure there might be random bits of Voldemort scattered around but his family had chased those scary thoughts away.

“I’ll be okay, if I can’t sleep I’ll use the mirror.” He lied to make Sirus feel better.

You leaned in to kiss his forehead and adjusted the blankets. You did the same to Ron.

“Really, if anything happens you call us right away. No heroics.” You said sternly and the boys nodded.

Harry watched them leave and found it wasn't that hard to drift off with a full stomach.

That Summer was one of his all-time best. Mr. Weasley won a contest and wanted to spend the money on a trip to Egypt. He placed the letter down and tried to think up his best negotiation skills. He looked both of you over as you ate your breakfast.

“Erm -” he cleared his throat earning him both your and Tommy’s attention. “You know how it is having kids. Mr and Mrs. Weasley never get a lot of time to themselves.”

“Don’t all their kids go away to school for most of the year?” Tommy said giving him a look.

“Yes, well - I was thinking maybe I could invite them over. See if they want to go to Egypt alone.” Harry looked up from his eggs on toast with big eyes. He watched the silent conversation play out between the two of you.

“I think that would be a nice idea,” Tommy said. “Business is in a good place. I’ll be around more anyway.”

“We’ve got the space.” You agreed.

Harry continued on “I’m also worried about Ginny, you know. I think it would cheer her up after everything. Not to mention we can help with chores and I can give my pocket money to the cook to help with the food increase-”

“Harry we said yes.” Tommy stopped him. “If you are negotiating with people you have to pay attention.” He scolded him but Harry didn’t care. He beamed and ran upstairs to write to Ron.

Harry moped around the house waiting for the letter back. He would understand if they would all want to go to Egypt, so he added that they could come stay after their trip too. He sent a letter to Hermione and just as always he got a response by the end of the day. Her parents are taking her on vacation to visit family in France. He told her to have fun.

He waited and wondered if maybe they hadn't got the letter, maybe they had already left.

The phone rang in the middle of dinner and Tommy let out a disgruntled sigh of annoyance.

“It’s fucking dinner. Who the fuck calls me in the middle of dinner.” But Tommy knew full well it could be a family member in crisis, so he watched as you got up to answer the call.

“HELLO - THIS IS AURTHUR WEASLEY.” Harry heard his voice from across the dining room and darted to the other phone in Tommy’s office.

“Hello, Arthur.” You said pulling away from the phone. “Don’t shout just - softly.”

“Oh, like this?” he said still speaking very slowly.

“Exactly.” You encouraged him.

“Merlin’s beard! It’s like you're standing next to me!”

“I know it’s great.” You smiled. “Is everything alright?”

“Now I hate to call during supper. But the family is rather excited about Harry’s letter.”

“Ah yes, how do you feel about it?”

“Well, they are quite keen on going to yours. Are you sure you want to take on the lot of them?”

“Of course! It won’t be a problem. We have lots of room. Field in the back for Quidditch.”

“Yes yes, they have mentioned the Quidditch. Wanting Sirus to teach them.” you laughed at that.

“Of course, they are more than welcome to come after your trip as well.”

“Ah kids, staying at yours is apparently more exciting for them.”

“Still I don’t want to interfere with family time, just thought maybe you and Molly would appreciate a vacation alone.”

“Dear, you have no idea how nice that sounds.” He chuckled. “Well, Percy is adamant about staying home to study, but everyone else good to go. I’ll have them pack up and we can send you some money for food -”

“Oh gosh no. Don’t worry about that. Have enough to feed an army and then some.”

“Well if you change your mind on that just send us a letter.”

“Alright. Might be easiest to get them here by floo.” You suggested.

“Oh yes, certainly. We will send them over on Monday?”

“We look forward to it.” you smiled.

“Well, thanks again love. I’ll let you get back to your supper.”

“Thanks, Arthur. Cheers!”

The phone disconnected and Harry let out a whoop of triumph. He was so excited.

Harry wondered how things could work so easily. They were initially a bit intimidated by Arrow House, but once settled in Harry loved how they fit into the family.

Fred and George being the eldest worked with Sirius and Remus to construct the Quidditch pitch. After that, he felt his family was the happiest. There was no leftover school drama. The world wasn't ending. No threats from the business.

They would wake up eat the breakfast you’d cook them in the kitchen. Sirius and Remus would come and make them laugh and put on records while they ate. They’d pile outside on to the pitch and practice. Sirius would show them different moves and plays while Remus read.

Ginny was by far the easiest to teach, something Harry thought was interesting. He was just happy she didn't feel left out.

Then the family would get off work and watch them play. Harry looked down at their blankets and chairs in the grass, food and wine laying around, sun kissing their faces. He listened to them laugh and shout out cheers and commands that didn’t really make sense for Quidditch. He knew this was the happiest moment.

They would have a late supper in the grass, then sit by the river when everyone cleared out. Fred and George would tell them scary stories from a book they had found in the library, editing them of course to feature magical creatures. Sirius would have them in the cottage teaching them card games till the late hours of the night.

Harry knew they had never had their own bedrooms before, and was shocked that they all ended up piling into his room. This just meant the jokes and stories could continue till they fell asleep.

He had never laughed so much and slept so little. He really didn't want the summer to end as if something inside him knew that this was going to pass. The warmth of the summer would fade and the reality of his situation would be coming towards him soon.

With everyone he loved around him and having fun it was easy to forget about Voldemort.
