I love that while I started reading Black Mask because I love a well-characterised Sirius, I have stuck to it due to Orion, Lucretia and characters only mentioned by name before; I mean we saw Orion’s trousers before we even knew his name.

I think from canon the only thing we actually know about Orion is that he put every security spell known to man on Grimmauld Place and that Kreacher wasn't quite as devoted to him as he was Walburga, though Sirius did catch him snogging a pair of Orion's trousers. I always had a very specific idea of Sirius's father, which was partly influenced by my father's family but also Sirius's very specific family baggage as presented in OOTP.

Lucretia...I'm not totally sure where that character came from. She definitely started off meaner than she turned out. I honestly think one of the major inspirations for that character was thinking of someone who would annoy both Sirius and Molly to be related to.

It's been fun developing the characters that had no personality in canon...which is most of them except Sirius, MWPP, Snape, Lily and Dumbledore.

Find a break in the rain and get out to the Garden! Loving this late winter rain and excited for spring right around the corner. Even if dark and cloudy right now it already feels like spring out here... Crabapples and daffodils blooming around the Great Meadow, Anemone coronaria adding a beautiful, early pop of red to the Mediterranean Garden, still some late Magnolias - M. x soulangeana ‘Picture’, M. ‘Athene’, and M. x veitchii all still looking lovely, the otherworldly, gorgeous Puya alpestris has begun to flower in the Succulent Garden, and California pipevine and Franciscan manzanita are providing some late winter flower action in the California Native Garden. Weekend weather forecast looks dry - come on out and feel and celebrate the seasonal transition. #sfbotanicalgarden #spring #daffodils #crabapple #anemonecoronaria #magnificentmagnolias #puyaalpestris #californiapipevine #franciscanmanzanita (at San Francisco Botanical Garden)
