Seventh-year continuation of Red Tide Rising. The world isn't going quite as planned, but the characters try to stay upbeat. Draco runs into the errant Professor Gryffindor, and comes to realize sometimes you have to change your strategy half way through the game. The twins play the cruelest joke possible, while several new students come to Hogwarts, just as several horrible events lead older students to leave and enter the Auror's College. The pace is picking up, and I encourage you all to read this chapter-- it's very good.

The muse is back!! Lovely long chapter, very detailed, which advances the story (finally, after all the 'transition'...). There's a wedding, a bloodletting, a gorgeous setting. Briar has her baby, and a reckoning with the father; Percy gets married; Ron and Harry finally make up, and set out on adventure... well, just read it.
