JK's backdrop. My words.
Hello! Here is the first chapter of my brand new story. I've been working on it for quite a while, so maybe it's not so new. Anyway, I hope to capture the Lily/James situation in a new light.
I think I'll be doing chapter names the names of song/album/book titles. This chapter is named after the song Witchy Woman by The Eagles.
