Last night, in an effort to refamiliarize myself with my main fandom *cough Naruto keeps distracting me cough* I started working on Secrets again. Chapter 9 is weird for me because I'm writing it out of chronological order -- that is, it has four scenes and I'd already written most of scene 2 and a snippet of scene 3 before I'd even finished chapter 6 or 7. So I started real work on the chapter by cleaning up and finishing scene 2.

Now I'm working my way through scene 1, which deals with Christmas holidays and Hermione's accident with the Polyjuice potion. It's going well, though I seem to have temporarily stopped plot progress in order for Tom to give a brief lecture on Ancient Egyptian rites of immortality and resurrection, brought on by the Weasleys' non-visit to Bill.

The funny thing is that I think I've just worked out a semi-rational magical process (and reasons for its development) for trapping a memory-self or soul fragment in a physical object... like, oh, say, a diary.

*evil grin*

I do love getting to explain things on two levels, especially when the second one goes straight over Ginny's head.

...

I could do without the solid day night and day of rain, though. Ah, Ithaca...
