Author/Artist's notes: Many thanks to those who read this before it was finished and helped me with their thoughts and suggestions - especially anise_anise and spn4ever. Also thanks to those who left great comments when it was posted here on hp_darkfest. Many questions that may arise while/after reading the story are answered in the discussion over there in the comments. I don't recommend reading the comments before the story. There are many, many spoilers.
