Story Notes:

 

Disclaimer: All characters and universe belong to J.K. Rowling.

This story is a loose interpretation of Canon. I have used some direct quotes from POA, and manipulated the events and dialogue as well.

I had started writing the story before I found out that there was a similar challenge, so I've credited the person who issued the challenge, Wolfsbane, even though my story does not strictly meet the criteria of that challenge. Also I used the name of the challenge for the title of my story because I thought that it was brilliant.

Many thanks again to my beta ObsidianEmbrace for once again dipping into her own time to help me.

Thank you so much JK Rowling for giving us your wonderful characters and universe to stretch our imaginations to the limit.

Tabitha/ObsidianEmbrace, what would I do without you? You have made writing so enjoyable for me, and I appreciate your time and effort in catching my mistakes and giving me tips to make my writing better. I've learnt so much from you.

Disclaimer: All characters, and the HP universe belong to J.K. Rowling.

Thank you so much Tabitha for betaing for me and for being my sounding board, my English teacher, and just always being there to offer support and encouragement. Everyone go check out ObsidianEmbrace's wonderful stories. Lily's Charm universe is only one, among any brilliant stories that she's written.

Also, many thanks to Kristeh for helping me write the descriptions of Snape's quarters, and she wrote Harry's hilarious perceptions of what Snape's quarters should look like. Check out Slave Child, and Pair of Phoenixs, among other wonderful stories that Kristeh has written. Thanks for your support and encouragement.

Also, I've borrowed a couple of words, or phrases from POA. This beautiful drawing is by: snowflakeprincessqueengirl, who so graciously drew this for me after reading this chapter. Thank you so much Brandy.

Thanks Tabitha for all your hard work betaing for me, and congratulations for your new responsibilities as Administrator of Potions and Snitches and all the sub sites that belong to it. I know that you'll do a fantastic job.

Thank you also Kristeh for your encouragement, despite the hard times you've been through lately.

5. Friends and Enemies by Pandora [Reviews - 13] starstarstarstarhalf-star (4095 words) Printer

Usual disclaimers apply. J.K. owns it all! I've also borrowed some dialogue from the POA book, where Molly and Arthur discuss whether Harry should be told about Sirius. Since Severus wasn't part ot the original conversation, I've added a bit of my own dialogue and descriptions.

Special thanks to ObsidianEmbrace (Tabitha) for betaing this chapter, and for just letting me bounce ideas off of her. Her stories are amazing and she's the best!

Thanks to Tabitha and Kristeh for poking me when I start to feel discouraged and want to stop writing!

6. Cat and Rat and Dog by Pandora [Reviews - 8] starstarstarstarstar (4411 words) Printer

Usual Disclaimers apply, all characters belong to J.K. Rowling.

A huge thanks to my beta ObsidianEmbrace. You're the best. Anyone who hasn't read, "A Life More Ordinary" and "Lily's Charm: Legacy", go read them now! That's an order!! (Just kidding!) but really...go read her stories, they're brilliant!!

Thanks Kristeh for all your support, and I can't wait for your next chappie of Slave Child!! Amazing read for those who haven't checked it out yet.

Some direct quotes were taken from POA book by J.K. Rowling. I think that it's also possible that I inadvertently "borrowed" this chapter name as well!!

7. Never Judge a Book By its Cover by Pandora [Reviews - 11] starstarstarstarhalf-star (5104 words) Printer

Thank you J.K. Rowling for letting me borrow your characters and universe, and taking liberties with POA; twisting and rewriting it to suit my own purposes.

Thanks a bunch to my wonderful beta ObsidianEmbrace, who I don't know what I'd do without! Thanks Tabitha.

Thanks also to those who have stuck with the story and keep on reading! You especially, Ms. Kristeh! :)

8. Bells and Whistles by Pandora [Reviews - 9] starstarstarstarstar (4673 words) Printer

All characters and universe belong to J.K. Rowling.

I've also used some direct quotes from POA, as well, I've re-written, added on to and twisted the dialogue and descriptions, so that it's not totally a carbon copy of the original. I hope that I've accomplished that.

Thank you so much to ObsidianEmbrace, for correcting all my errors, giving me advice and still writing such amazing stories, while being a great mom to two young children. I don't know how you do it!! Your brilliance knows no bounds.

As well, thanks to everyone who is still reading my stories, and a special thanks to Kristeh for giving me a good stern talking to, everytime I want to give up!!

14. The End of a Long Journey (Part I) by Pandora [Reviews - 12] starstarstarstarstar (3147 words) Printer

So sorry for the long wait. These past few months have been rough for me. I was ill and my father passed away, but I promise that I will update more frequently.

I am dedicating this chapter to Dream Painter, who has been hounding me to reveal what's in the box! LOL

Thanks so much ObsidianEmbrace for your continued support and encouragement, and for correcting all my mistakes. And many thanks to my dear friend Kristeh for being so supportive and giving me a good kick in the butt to write!

Thanks also to my readers who have stuck with me, despite my slow progress these past few months. Thanks for not abandoning me.

Most importantly though, thanks to J.K. Rowling for sharing her wonderful magical world of Harry Potter with us. I'm just so sad that it's all over though, but at least we still have our wonderful world of fanfiction to keep J.K.'s visions alive.

15. And the Truth Shall Set You Free by Pandora [Reviews - 9] starstarstarstarhalf-star (4623 words) Printer

Sorry for the extremely long wait. RL, work and writer's block are to blame.

Disclaimer: J.K. of course owns the wonderful world of Harry Potter. I am merely borrowing her characters, and the wonderful, magical world that she's created, for my own pleasure.

Thanks so much to ObsidianEmbrace for correcting my mistakes, her suggestions in making my story better, and just for her encouragement and support.

Also, thanks as usual to my good friend Kristeh, who always boosts my confidence with her kind and encouraging words, and helpful suggestions.
