A Difficult Night

Dolabella

Story Summary:
The last night of July, the year before Voldemort's fall; a particularly difficult Death Eater mission for both those who serve and those who watch and wait. A look at how those who follow the Dark Lord make excuses to themselves and others for what they are required to do, and how bonds of family and friendship may be strained if the questions that matter are never quite asked.
