It's 1981, and the walls are closing in. There is a spy in the Order. Lily, James, and infant Harry Potter are in hiding but not safe under Fidelius yet. Severus Snape is not a trusted enough Death Eater to pass on crucial information, and Dumbledore still doubts Snape's loyalty. Peter Pettigrew is chewing at the walls where no one can see. And poison persists in the blood.

Three years after Meteorfall, the leader of the World Regenesis Organisation, Reeve Tuesti, gives AVALANCHE the job of clean-up duty for the world. However, the slow process of healing the Planet would have dire consequences and a terrible price to pay for one Vincent Valentine. (Valenhart.)

But rescuing her daughter from the Dursleys in the summer of '92 is the first step on a long road to discovering this is less true than he'd thought. A girl!Harry story, covering CoS - GoF. Future Snape/Harriet. Sequel "No Journey's End" (Ootp - DH) is now posting.
