Notes:

Thanks to rosskpr for beta reading, and giving good suggestions. She has been very patient-- she sent me back the notes on this chapter two months ago(!), but illness and other real life interruptions kept me from acting on those suggestions until now. Thanks to my readers for their patience, too, assuming you have not given up on this story and me.

Chapter 18 Part 1 (Onward!)

Summary:

After the war, the survivors try to find a way to cope with the losses they have incurred and move into a future they have yet to create. As they try to find ways to save themselves, they realize that perhaps the best way is to save each other.

This story will eventually be Harry Draco Slash. It will probably take a while to get there from here. This chapter is rated for general audiences, with the exception of one word that one should not say in front of teachers. The situation called for it.

Other Notes:

The last scene in this chapter was one of the first scenes I wrote, written well before chapters 7-15 were fleshed out, or in some cases even anticipated. A lot has changed about the story since I first wrote that scene, and editing it to comply with some of the new plot threads was challenging. I asked myself how these events came about, and the many Malfoy interactions evolved. Some of Harry's interactions evolved out of a scene a few chapters down the pike. Real soon now, I'll be able to start writing this story forwards, instead of trying to develop the motivations for scenes I've written.

My beta asked about the Slytherin Rules mentioned in this and previous chapters, asking if I was basing it on other Slytherin rules that other authors have come up with. Nope. These were based on the culture I'm developing, and my sense of what it actually means to be Slytherin.

I hope you enjoy!

Other Notes:

Finally! Harry and Draco in the same place... however briefly. More to come! This chapter is in two parts, as it is too big for LJ to handle.

One of the things that has helped me get back on the writing horse is the Harry Potter Last Author Standing Challenge. See my profile for more information. I'll be posting some of the stories (all under 1000 words) that I wrote for it soon, but except for one, they are not in SPS-verse. The one that is, I'll wait to post, as it contains spoilers.

Thanks:

Again and still: thanks to my betas ivyingarden and rosskpr . Their help makes this a better fic, between brainstorming, catching errors in grammar and canon, reviewing plot flow, and supplying encourangement to "write write write". Any errors after the two of them have combed through the work are from the author not paying attention (or being just plain stubborn)!

Other Notes:

This is one of the first scenes I wrote in this story, and it's been languishing as I caught up.

In some ways, it feels like the chapters up until this point have been winding down from the final battle. After the next chapter (which includes Remus' and Tonks' funeral, and a tiny bit of Harry and Draco interaction), I expect the flow to surge back up, with new things growing from the seeds that have been planted in the chapters so far.

This chapter has a bit of Draco and a lot of Narcissa. Next Chap will be Harry and a few funerals. The chapter after that, if all goes according to plan, will have Harry and Draco in speaking distance!

Again and still: thanks to

ivyingardenfor all the help making this a better fic! She patiently helps me brainstorm (with some great ideas to throw into the cauldron), is fabulous with canon, has a knack for language, and keeps at me to "write write write!" In this chapter she went above and beyond, and role-played/ helped write the dialogue between Andromeda and Harry.

Also, thanks to

rosskpr, for beta work that is both meticulous and enthusiastic. She helped me catch several canon errors in addition to watching my grammar and asking plot flow questions, and her encouragement keeps me writing!
