Paraka's Fandom Stuff

Podfic Polygon is a podfic challenge where participants join groups and play pass the podfic so in the end, everyone in the group has picked a story, recorded someone else’s pick, and edited someone else’s recording of someone else’s story choice. Below are the entries from my group with Magic_Enough and sisi_rambles

Fic: baby birds and other adventures by dirgewithoutmusic, chosen by Magic_Enough
Voiced by: paraka
Edited by: sisi_rambles
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Gen
Summary: Harry did not know this and would not know this until Mrs. Granger mentioned it casually over a Christmas dinner years and years later– but she and Mr. Granger reported the Dursleys for child abuse and neglect, over and over.

The reports got lost– minds scrubbed down, papers vanished– but they kept calling in reports. They considered kidnapping. They couldn’t imagine why the wizarding world might want to keep their chosen one somewhere so toxic, why they might want to keep this underfed child and his messy hair with those people.

“My mother left me a blood protection spell,” said Harry, whose scar had not ached in years. He poked at his mashed potatoes under the focused attention of Mrs. Granger’s stern little forehead wrinkle. “I had to live with family, blood family.”

“Then they should have made them treat you right,” Mrs. Granger said, as though it was that simple.

Mr. Granger gave Harry another helping of peas.

Fic: Of Muggles and Searches and Family by alwaysimagined, chosen by paraka
Voiced by: sisi_rambles
Edited by: Magic_Enough
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Ron/Hermione
Summary: She looks sad, late at night. Tucked into his side and pretending that she doesn’t want to cry and he wonders, sometimes, if this is what it was like when he left them, all those months ago.

So he starts to ask questions. All those little questions he should have asked years ago but never did. What are you parents like? What sports did they take you to see? What did they think, when they found out you were a witch?

First he asks to distract her. Then, a little later, he asks because all those questions are what makes up her and anything that made her is something he really, genuinely wants to know.
