Fic: Mrs Saxon's Diary. Part 7/10
RL is v. busy, so I come to procrastinate... Incidentally this chapter was the first part I wrote (and I have barely altered a word since) - the rest kinda grew around it. I considered posting it first, but in the end decided that I better do the story chronologically.
Enjoy - and feedback would be hugely appreciated!
Setting: Post-'Sound of Drums' (just)
Spoilers: End of S3.
Pairing: Lucy/Harry.
Rating: PG-13.
Previous parts here.
The day the Earth fell.
I am the wife of an Evil Overlord. It feels strange to write it down, black on white, and yet it is nothing less than the truth. If he ever reads this I know he’ll laugh. And then probably crack a joke about not turning into a giant snake. I wouldn’t put it past him to keep a printout of ‘The Top 100 Things I'd Do If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord’ around somewhere - unless of course he wrote the list in the first place. After all he’s been around for so long...
I remember reading it once, back when I was doing my GCSE’s. Amanda showed it to me, and I read through the whole list although I didn’t find it very funny. But I needed her help, and mother taught me always to be polite. I wonder where Amanda is now, and if she still thinks that aiming to be a good wife is a pointless ambition.
It occurs to me, as I write, that I could have her killed if I wanted. I won’t. But I could. And I think I now - finally - truly understand my Master.
Part 8.
