Many thanks to my beta reader Yolanda. Kudos for the ladies of
Flights of Fancy for the encouragement. Warmest apologies for my
ever-wandering vocal key to that master of transcription: CornedBee. (Bless
you, bless you.)
Regarding
the use of JK Rowling's characters, standard disclaimers apply.
Dedicated to ivy & Gracie who never asked
for it, but got me thinking about the twins… just by being there.
As
with all my pieces, the tune is also original. Author's notes continue at
bottom.
