Potter Professions

Horst Pollmann

Story Summary:
It's twenty years after Hogwarts, and six after 'Presents from the Past', of which this story is a sequel. Harry, his wife Cho, and their children Sandra Catherine, Gabriel, Carlos, and Esmeralda all have their own agenda: Harry is in desperate need of something to do, now that the children are old enough to allow him some free time. Cho runs her 'Groucho Industries' on a long leash and invests her free time in a program to convert Muggles to Magicals. Sandra Catherine, in her last year at Beauxbatons, discovers the stage, though not quite as planned. Gabriel is already used to stages - as a musician in a band looking for a singer. Carlos and Esmeralda, the young ones, await their first year at Hogwarts.

At the beginning of this fiction, we find our heroes in their summer break, each of them in their own - Harry at home in Ireland, Cho in Canada, Sandra Catherine on a beach in Jamaica, Gabriel on a stage in Bulgaria, and Carlos and Esmeralda on a beach in France. The chapter's goal is to introduce the main characters and to a bit of what happened since the previous fic, 'Presents from the Past'.
