Story Notes:

I did a thing... instead of working on my other unfinished stories I've been working on this one.  I wasn't going to post it for a while, but then I saw the Bingo Card Fic Fest and realized this story checks a lot of those boxes and decided to post as I already have 10 chapters written.  I'll list the Bingo Card Prompts here as they are added into the story.


 

I filled out my blank bingo card which you can see here, so these prompts will be getting used up too if I can.  Here it is in case you want to use it as your blank bingo card: https://imgur.com/Fff2Fup


 

--> You can see my progress visually on the BINGO cards here including which prompts I've used so far: Google Docs


 

Note: Book 4 happened just as it should.  Voldemort returned.  However in this story what Snape's role will be now that he's returned is unclear, even to Snape.  No future spying has been set up, and probably won't be.

15. A Run Of Bad Luck by JAWorley [Reviews - 5] starstarstarstarstar (9803 words) Printer

A/N: No limbs are lost in this chapter, though there’s a few moments where there’s talk of losing limbs and talk of soldiers losing limbs and phantom pain. There's also talk of burns. Just a fair warning for anyone who might be triggered by those things.

18. The Mushroom Den by JAWorley [Reviews - 14] starstarstarstarstar (8374 words) Printer

Here’s a funny deleted scene for you (or a scene that happened but we didn’t get to see in the main story):

“Why aren’t female potions masters called a potions mistress?” Hermione asked.

“Because they earned a mastery in potions, not a mistressry,” Harry said.

26. Hit The Buzzer, Pass It Along by JAWorley [Reviews - 11] starstarstarstarstar (8496 words) Printer

This is a fairly mellow chapter, but a necessary one, as there are a couple subtle things happening here between Harry and Snape that are important.  I know it's been like a year and a half since I last posted on this, but I want you to know that I'm still working on it.  I'm sorry that it's taken so long.  I haven't abandoned this story, and I won't! There's still tons of good stuff coming up in the next few chapters!
