Set immediately after OotP, this fic will push aside HBP for a while. AU but not too much.
Definitely not a Snape-saves-Harry-then-adopts-him typical story. There'll be mild torture (who at whose hands?) and some traumatic language later on. Voldie will truly be able to stretch out his evil feathers in this story. Muahaha.
Basically, the start of the story will sound very mild and pale (not to mention typical) but be warned that many twists will be introduced. No, none of them will be too far-out that it'll seem impossible. Don't worry. :)
There will be character deaths. Yes, multiple. Actually, I've already written those because I like getting weepy and stuff. Darn, here I go again.
As for the adoption... I can't say anything yet. :)
My weakest will probably be Briticisms because all my betas decide to fly away. sigh. Hope you guys stay for the ride! It'll be long but hopefully satisfying.
