Story Notes:
For the first time ever - and the last, I hope - I'm posting a story before it's complete. I have no idea how much longer this story will be, but I didn't want to accidentally mess up anyone using the challenge for the fest.
This is - quite majorly, I think - AU. Quite a bit more than I'd planned on. Harry doesn't make an appearance until the 3rd chapter. I had planned a series of quick skips over the pre-Hogwarts/Hogwarts years, but Muse demanded they be not-so-quick.
I am putting a trigger warning for the end of the 2nd chapter. It's not graphic, but just in case.

*WARNING* Description/mention of rape in this chapter. If you don't want to read it, the section starts roughly where it says the seventh year NEWT students start gearing up for graduation. You won't miss anything major by skipping that part.

Two-thirds of this is un-beta'd, as my beta has apparently disappeared off into the wilds of Wales, with no phone or internet.

Language (a little) - just one little word. Really, the wizarding world just doesn't have the right type of swears for when you really need a short-and-frustrated one!

*checks clock* Yep, well after 12pm here in the UK, so that makes this officially NOT an April Fools.
Yes, folks, this story is alive and well - hurrah!
Unfortunately, my beta has injured herself, so the last bit of this isn't beta'd. I hope it makes sense . . .
