I don not own Harry Potter. JK Rowling does. I make no money from this endeavour and intend no copyright infringement.

2. Chapter 2: Tom Riddle's Locket I by tambrathegreat [Reviews - 5] (3412 words)
Thanks once again to imablack for her suggestions on this chapter.
This chapter touches on the horrors of war enacted on women and girls in a non-graphic way. If it offends, please understand that the scene needed to be included to set up later action.
3. Chapter 3 Tom Riddle's Locket II by tambrathegreat [Reviews - 9] (5017 words)
Thanks again to imablack for her valuable input on this chapter.
4. Ch.. 4 Destination, Determination, Desperation by tambrathegreat [Reviews - 6] (5004 words)
This chapter has one rather gory battle scene. It is pivotal to the plot, so I had to include it. There was no other way around it. It is the section with Ron, so if that type of stuff bothers you, skip down to the end of that section to read what happens.
5. A Sheep in Wolf's Clothing by tambrathegreat [Reviews - 7] (3653 words)
Thanks to my red-mousers: Jillian, imablack, and Vera Rozalsky. Without your input, this chapter would be less.

8. Beginnings and Endings by tambrathegreat [Reviews - 5] (3678 words)
This chapter contains one bad word and a racy married couple scene that's not too descriptive.

After years of waiting, a new chapter finally is up. Sorry, there is no really good excuse for the long pause, but I will be updating this story more consistently since my writer's block is Gone, Baby, Gone!
