[I'VE HAD A LOT OF DUCK PASTRAMI. THIS MIGHT BE THE BEST. THANK YOU. FOR ALL CONTEMPT TURNS UPON THE CONTEMPTUOUS, AS IT MUST, BUT WITH DUCK, SO YOU GET THE RICHNESS OF IT. WHEW.]

half way through Moody March (in microfics, I know it’s the 30th today ;)

And we’re 2 weeks and a day down! Sorry this one is a day late, had stuff to do ;-)

@jilymicrofics Contemptuous (which is a very Sirius Black word if there ever was one ;-)

Read yesterday's micro Deja Vu on ao3.

"Run, Lily, I'll cover you," Sirius Black shouted and Lily didn't argue.

Their mission was supposed to be a dud, pretend to be a loving couple out for drinks. The barman had looked through them, his face bland and uninterested. Still, they had ordered their shots of Firewhisky and sat at a table. Well, he was clearly imperiused for the Death Eaters had shown up before they could have so much as a sip of their drinks. Ill-timed bastards. 

They hid under the table for a while, the chaos of the full-out brawl shielding them more than the wood. Until an explosion set most of the bar on fire and they were forced to move out. 

Apparition was impossible. 

Lily sucked in a breath as she saw six hooded figures working to take out drunk wizards and witches one by one. They worked systematically.  As if they were looking for something specific.

That's when she realised, "They’re looking for us. Someone told them we'd be here."

Sirius cursed out loud and threw a complicated series of hexes that forced three of them to leave their positions. He pushed her out of their hiding place and told her to run, so that's what she did.

Mature Living

The absence of spiritual devotion today is an omen and a portent. The modern church is all but contemptuous of the sober virtues--meekness, modesty, humility, quietness, obedience, self-effacement, patience. To be accepted now, religion must be in the popular mood. Consequently, much religious activity reeks with pride, display, self-assertion, self-promotion, love of gain and devotion to trivial pleasures.

It behooves us to take all this seriously. Time is running out for all of us. What is done must be done quickly. We have no right to lie idly by and let things take their course. A farmer who neglects his farm will soon lose it; a shepherd who fails to look after his flock will find the wolves looking after it for him. A misbegotten charity that allows the wolves to destroy the flock is not charity at all but indifference, rather, and should be known for what it is and dealt with accordingly.

It is time for Bible-believing Christians to begin to cultivate the sober graces and to live among men like sons of God and heirs of the ages. And this will take more than a bit of doing, for the whole world and a large part of the church is set to prevent it. But if God be for us, who can be against us?
