Story Notes:
This is an AU, in which many characters will be portrayed in another way than is strictly canon. Please see all warnings, etc.
I am a slow, deliberate writer, who tends to write lengthy chapters, therefore do not expect to be spoiled daily with additions.
Disclaimer: Recognizable characters and magical items and locations, sadly, do not belong to me, but to their creator, J.K. Rowling. However, all original characters, magical items, and locations do in fact belong to me. No copyright infringement is intended. I write out of the respect for the original work.
