Goodbye to Berlin
A.J. Hall
Goodbye to Berlin is one in a series of LoPiverse books. You might like to refer to their suggested reading order, chronology & series information.
It is a short story set in 1934 that depicts a small incident in the career of Draco Malfoy’s Great-grandmother.
In a Berlin Cabaret a Veela showgirl dances before a crowd of hard-eyed, lecherous wizards, Muggle thrill-seekers and cold, shadowy spies for the omnipresent Authorities, and feels beneath her feet the leaf-mould of the immemorial forests. Gelert Grindelwald, meanwhile, is mobilising hostility against all non-human Magical beings.
Warnings: The author chooses not to warn.
Advisory: This work is set in Berlin 1934 and, accordingly, the characters’ opinions on race, eugenics, the role of women and cross-dressing were-jaguars should not to be assumed to be those of the author.
