Patil family

Dissipate by Pogrebin

'A wand is a sign of strength in England, whereas in India it is a crutch, betraying their phoren origins more obviously than their English accents.

Healer by Fahye

'Of the twelve pairs of ribs that comprise the thoracic cage, ten are attached to the sternum and two are floating, which makes Padma imagine pressing her wand to the bruised skin of someone's back and whispering Wingardium Leviosa until their bones slot into place.' A beautifully written meditation on grief & healing after the war, with interesting speculation on magical healing versus medicine
