Author's Note:

Hello everyone! It's been a while!

I completed Love and Glory almost a year ago, and thought I would never return to that world again, because finishing that story was exhausting. However, after taking a break with other projects, I realised that these characters still held a dear place in my heart, and another story started to take form.

Guys, I'm so excited to go on another journey with you all! :)

But before we get stuck into it, there's a bit of housekeeping to do, so bear with me.

1: You don't have to have read my preceding fanfiction Love and Glory to enjoy this sequel. I say that mostly because it is a long story, not to turn you off it. This one takes place in the same universe, with some of the same OCs, so I've attached a summary and list of characters, in case anyone gets confused. But it is its own story, and as well as that...

2: Love and Glory dealt with Rose and Scorpius's blossoming romance. They will still play an important role in this story, but the focus will now be on Rose's brother Hugo, as you might have guessed from the summary.

3: An OC is a central character in this story. She's not a self-insert or a Mary Sue, but a character integral to the plot. Give her a chance! But if you're not into it, well, you've been warned.

4: I've taken some liberties regarding the ages of characters. Jo Rowling confirmed that the Scamander children, Lorcan and Lysander, are younger than Rose, Albus & co, however, I have aged them up for the purposes of this story. I also gave them a younger sister, Lucinda. Hannah and Neville have no confirmed children as of yet, however, for this story, I have given them two daughters, and aged those up too.

5: I should also note that Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has come out since I wrote my last story. I haven't read it, but I'm aware of things such as Albus being confirmed as a Slytherin, etc. For the sake of consistency with Love and Glory, I won't be sticking to the canon regarding this latest addition to the Harry Potter world.

6: Lastly, many of my reviewers for Love and Glory very rightly pointed out my inconsistencies regarding the use of underage magic; I have tried my best to fix those errors in this story.

Thanks guys! You're the best.

Summary of Love and Glory:

In their sixth year, Rose Weasley and Scorpius Malfoy found themselves caught up in a conspiracy that went to the heart of Hogwarts, and fell in love in the process. There was an attack on the castle, during which an insurgent group called the Truthseekers attempted to reveal the wizarding world to Muggles. They ultimately failed, but the fight wasn't yet over. Alchemist Theodore Nott was curious about the possibilities of taking magic from Muggleborns and giving it to those more deserving, ie. Squibs, so he teamed up with Scorpius's aunt Daphne to create a potion that could strip magic. Harry Potter's son James died in an attempt to stop them. This threw a spanner in the works regarding Rose and Scorpius's relationship, but they ultimately decided to be together despite their families.
