Feb. 13th, 2007 06:59 pmTitle: The Blue Flower
Characters: Phineas Nigellus, OMC.
Rating: PG
Word-count: 4752
Summary: Phineas NIgellus, on his way home from a trip to Germany, is called on to solve a deadly mystery on the Rhine. Features a cameo appearance by a familiar object from the Hogwarts of Harry's day.
Warnings: none, unless you count misuse of themes of Romanticism.
Note: The fic is set during Nigellus’ tenure as Headmaster of Hogwarts. Nigellus and the Harry Potter universe are the property of JK Rowling. The idea of Wittenberg as a centre of magical research I owe to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nineveh_uk, but it fits well with Germany’s role as nineteenth century intellectual powerhouse in all sorts of fields. The Lorelei is a figure of German folklore, most famous because of the Heine poem (though other people wrote about her too). The title is a reference to Novalis.
Ths fic was written for the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
omniocular’s “Anywhere but here” challenge last February, and as such deserves some sort of anti-award for lateness.
( We always thought it was just a silly Muggle story, but it seems there is something in it after all )
