It’s Christmas at the Burrow, and everyone is celebrating (except the poor garden gnome being held hostage on the top of the tree). The Weasley family listens to Celestina Warbeck’s marvelous tunes, with varying degrees of enthusiasm, and Harry takes the opportunity to catch up with his buddy Arthur and wise old Professor Lupin, whom we neither like nor dislike this chapter. Finally, Scrimgeour should watch out, because this young man may have finished his meal, but he’s about to have Minister of Magic for dessert.

“Satsuma” is, indeed, a much more common word for a tangerine or clementine in the UK. I lived there for 12 years, and my family uses satsuma, tangerine, clementine and mandarin interchangeably to refer to any variety of small orange fruits.
Remember the Friends episode when Rachel was discoruaging Jill from going after Ross?

Shades by Fernwithy really delves into Lupin’s double life with the werewolves. And she totally considers Greyback as one of the scariest villains in the series.
Haha, I love your ‘Harry stans Shunpike’ quib!
