You know I'm a sucker a little bit of an emotional meet-up in a story. This was great to have the backstory of their meeting. Thank you for linking back to the earlier, sadder post, I must admit the name had slipped my mind so I appreciate the reminder.
I really enjoy getting these dips in and out of Grimbauld's travels.
As I mentioned in my other message to you, it’s a struggle just now, so to get such kind feedback is much appreciated 👍🏼
I thought I would introduce a little bit of romance into Grimbauld’s life and shake up the banality of “fight, be a hero, go on a quest” that he could get trapped in. Plus, it’s fun to turn the trope of the great warrior into a blethering idiot when he’s trying to be cool and failing miserably 😁
One thing that seems missing from the calculations is how many men are there still in the village. Fourty men to defend against two hundred, in a fortified position, is not that bad. Supported by a few dozen men already there, even older men, it can be rather good, depending on the level of fortifications, food to survive a siege, etc.
It’s a good point and one that I would have covered if the story was any longer. Basically, as Faye mentions, “our losses were heavy” so I think the garrison is just about spent both from feet on the ground and just general weariness
I might go back and write a part 2 now that you’ve got me thinking of a few ideas 👍🏼🤔🙂

Yes, I can always relate to those blathering idiot moments a lot 😆 I really like it. I get a great sense of the two characters here.
I hope your work schedule eases off a bit!
