A.J. Hall

Story Summary:
A thousand years into the future, and half the galaxy away, a bereaved young woman stalks through a high society cocktail party and thinks bitterly: "anywhere but here". Meanwhile, in the most desperate days of the Voldermort conflict, the Dark Lord has unleashed a deadly plague upon the wizarding world. A potion to cure it does exist, but can only be made with a certain plant. Which exists on one mountain in Scotland. A very well defended mountain... Worlds are about to collide.
