Date Started: February 19, 2010 Date Ended: ?

Mood: Pensive… thus I struck a chord, remembering Harry's pensieve accident, and the story was born.

Characters: Harry Potter, Severus Snape, Albus Dumbledore, Ronald Weasley (and the lot), Hermonie Granger, part of the Order members, Avery (Death Eater), Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, Hogwarts Staff, Rubeus Hagrid, The Dursleys (distantly), Bellatrix Lestrange (Death Eater), Lucius Malfoy (Death Eater), Draco Malfoy (and his dunderhead friends), and Voldemort. Only main characters listed, there will be several others, most of which I just make up names.

Ships : Harry/Severus (Non-explicit, implied, hinted at. Pair will not get together until second book [I reserve the right to change this if I decide to]), Hermonie/Ron (non-explicit), Molly/Arthur (non-explicit), and Lupin/Black (non-explicit…mostly).

Spoilers : For the most part complies with books 1-4. Book 5, some things will be compliant, others won't be there, and some will be altered or presented different. I will drag in a few things from books 6 and 7 (the Horcruxes), but mostly this will be a standalone series.

Background Before You Start Reading : The accident with the pensieve (Snape's memories) has happened right after Christmas break, and Harry has been receiving Occlumpsy lessons since the beginning of the year. Hermonie has already started S.P.E.W. and is still trying to recruit people. Dumbledore's Army does not exist. Harry, nor any of the other, knows anything about the Order. They still went to Grimwolds place after Harry used magic illegally during the summer, but they were told nothing. They deduce that the group of adults are up to something, but that's all. Anything else from the fifth book may or may not be added in.

And to spoil your appetites, Harry and Severus' first real connection, a showing of any type of … "affection," happens in Chapter 15. That is when their relationship starts to change, but only a little bit. Like I said, they will not be getting together until the next book (and close to the end of it)! And don't try to skip ahead, because nothing will make sense if you do! Oh, and you will all hate me after the second book, but I believe it was necessary for the story. It was too pivotal to let go of (No, it has nothing to do with the couple, don't fret, they will both be alive and well enough).
