Author's Notes: This is being written in response to Severitus' challenge. Please note that I began this story before OotP was released, and it is therefore a 5th Year AU. In the editing process, I have, however, incorporated information from OotP, HBP, and DH, so there are spoilers for rest of the series. You may find the challenge rules here: www.severitus.net/thechallenge.htm
