Story Notes:
Well, here's my contribution to the HP fifth-year fics (which will hopefully be finished by June 21st ). It will be in two parts; the first part covers the summer between Harry's fourth and fifth year, and the second covers Harry's fifth year. Enjoy!Naturally, reviews are welcome...Author's Notes (reference for entire story):

Having read through Order of the Phoenix the day it came out, I decided that I was (like a number of others) not going to allow it to change this story (especially as I already had established Arabella Figg and Mundungus Fletcher as being different from their characters in OotP). As a result, this story contains no direct spoilers for OotP (after all, not only is the plot different, but so are certain characters, not to mention the whole link with Voldemort thing (as you will find out)).
However, after due consideration, I have decided to include certain characters, locations, spells, and events (historical with respect to the fifth year) from OotP. They do not show up as of this chapter, but will be starting to appear shortly (one hopes!) so I thought it would be worth mentioning. (And for those of you dismayed by the events in the DoM - I'm pretty sure that the climactic event in question will not occur in this story.)

Please note that I am not a herbologist, nor trained in any way in herbal healing. I did do some research on the Net, however. The most helpful site I found (which is, admittedly, a commercial site) was at www.mothernature.com/Library/Ency/Index.cfm/ID/2420007/L/ALL - one I recommend for anyone interested in what is known, scientifically speaking, about herbal healing.
