Hoping that I will be less blocked and get more written if I have more than one story on the go, I've decided to start posting another.

( Epilogue: Operation Forth Bridge )
Comments please before I post to archives - I'd especially like your thoughts on the "clip show" flashbacks I've used - does the format work for you? If not, how would you change things?

Update - this is now posted to archives with a few small changes.

I did think of using this in Half God Prince but it's a bit too silly, and made Sybill Trelawney a bit too old for the purposes of my story. Anyone who wants to do something with the idea is welcome to it.

In the early 1970s Sybill Trelawney foresaw the rise of Voldemort and decided to hide out in the muggle world to avoid the violence, using a fictitious surname and spelling her first name the muggle way, with only one L. Since she didn't fancy the idea of working for a living she looked around for a wealthy bachelor and settled on Basil Fawlty, a hotelier with no close relatives, using a combination of potions and mind control spells to engineer a marriage.

Unfortunately Fawlty was mentally unstable and the magic only made things worse, turning a slightly irritable man into a compulsive liar with a hair-trigger temper and violent mood swings. The hotel began to lose customers and money, and was soon heavily mortgaged.

Eventually Sybill decided to cut her losses and go back to the magical world. One of her contacts told her about a teaching post at Hogwarts, and she got the job (whether the prediction that impressed Dumbledore was fake or real is open to question) and stayed on in the magical world for the next twenty years.

Since she vanished without warning and left no forwarding address Basil is widely suspected of having murdered her, though there isn't much evidence. With Stybill no longer potioning him his mental state has gradually improved, and the hotel has begun to make a profit again - although it's never explicitly mentioned, some of the guests are amateur sleuths looking for clues to the alleged murder!

After the second fall of Voldemort Sybill hears that the hotel is making a profit again, and decides to step back in as Basil's estranged wife, and demand her share. But naturally things will go horribly wrong for all concerned...
