Story Notes:
Disclaimer: I do not own JK Rowling’s world or plotlines. I do own my own plotlines and since this is being written about things JK has not yet published, most of the plotline is mine. However, my brilliant sister inspired the story, and I lovingly thank her for her contribution.
A/N: This is not meant to be a hero’s story. It is not the traditional hero destroys enemy and returns to be embraced by the loving populace. Tradition is out the window, and this is nothing more than what I feel could happen. This is not going to be fluff. Occasional humorous lines appear in anything, but that is not intended to be the general mood. You have been warned.
A/N2- this story was started almost a year ago on fanfiction.net, I post on both sites now, but the writing grows better as the story progresses. I have improved in that time, so I ask the following: read the first dozen chapters or so, and you'll know whether you really enjoy my work. Thank You.
