Summary: Hermione is having a baby, Ron is a POW and Harry is...missing. An account of the 2nd great wizarding war, of battles still to be won, and the love of a young bookworm for the man, the cause, the friends and the life she was forced to abandon.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters, their world or their toys. I do however, own Hermione's dress. Don't you think it sounds pretty?
Author's Note for Newcomers: This story was started PRIOR to the release of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Consequently, some of the key characters, storylines, accounts of deaths, events etc. will be different. Rather than go back and re-work the entire thing so that it will fit with the current HP cannon, I have decided to complete this story as it was originally conceived.
That being said, you will actually find MOST of what is here entirely plausible within the current Harry Potter lore. Set three years in the future, it begins in medias res so it leaves much up to interpretation. But it is most definitely now, post HBP, a sort of AU fic. Hope you enjoy. Thanks!
