Lost and Found...Love

After 7 years at school together, this is how it's going to end? Regrets? Unspoken words? Will they ever meet again...under happier circumstances? Or will the war really be the end for their friendship?

The new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher...Neville's free spirited Godmother...The love of Severus Snape's life...All the same woman?...BLOODY HELL!

Introductions all around and old friends meet again, with surprising results. Severus and Anna FINALLY see eye to eye, on EVERYTHING.

The morning after the night before and what a night THAT was! Christopher makes his presence known and hangs around to help. Dobby makes a promise and Neville gets one over on Draco, with the help of the rest of Gryffindor House.

N.E.W.T.s level Defense Against the Dark Arts will never be the same. The DA gets its act together and the future is contemplated - from several angles.The students get to see Anna isn't just your average DADA teacher, or your average witch.Their, and the wizarding world's, situation and future are discussed.

Motorcycles and soccer, two words not usually associated with Hogwarts...until now. Butterbeer run and detention...another unusual combination. The students get their first view of Anna's temper, and it's aimed at Professor Snape.

It wasn't a matter of IF...but WHEN and HOW. Revenge, for Draco, is sweet...and orange and very messy. Something new: Muggle madness at Hogwarts. Supreme silliness that even the Slytherins can (and do) enjoy. You'll never know if you'd like it, unless you try it! Severus extends an invitation Anna can't refuse.

Anna and Flitwick give advise to the Slytherins. Anna demonstrates why she's regarded so highly in Auror circles. Severus and Anna get 'down and dirty' and show the Slytherins a thing or two about dueling. Draco learns Anna had a confrontation in the past, with his father, Lucius.

Anna invites Harry to tea, for that long overdue chat she promised him. Some background information allows Harry to start understanding the history of, and events surrounding, his family...and their deaths.

Life is complicated...A little TOO complicated, somtimes, which is one of the reasons that memory charms are so dead useful. An invitation is extended for the coming holiday. Winky is offered a new position.

3-2-1-GO! The 'race' to London, is off to a roaring start. Any bets on who gets there first?Anna and Harry make it home to Harley St. Remus and Gwen, "the welcoming committee" are there. Winky looks around her new home.

Harry is pitchforked into Christmas, Twigg-Jones style. Making plans and lists and checking it twice. Decorations, trees, shopping! Ready, set; here we go!

Shop 'til you drop or make a break for it; which ever comes first. Harry's first exposure to Christmas traditions that include everyone: family, friends, and a house elf. A visit to Gwen's for Boxing Day dinner. Oh, and let's start with the visit to the Weasley Twins shop.

Anna's idea turns into a full fledged PLAN. Harry has a wicked idea of his own. Surprise! Old friends and family meet again and invitations are extended.

Everything's ready. Now, where are the guests? Outside? Oh, dear. Anna's party isn't the only gathering on New Year's Eve.

Bill and Fleur's 'surprise'...to no-one,really. House tours and mistletoe. Happy New Year! Goodbyes and Hellos...bittersweet and just plain bitter.

The Burrow is bulging with visitors and bad news. Harry and Neville surf the Floo Network. Anna goes back to Hogwarts early, for several reasons.

Anna and Severus finally manage to have some time for themselves...alone. Symbols of the past and future. We get to see more Muggle/Magical 'tricks of the trade'.

"Seeing" how it works. Thinking fast on your feet and on the run. Spring Break brings a party to remember! COWABUNGA!

Remus and Narcissa both are faced with life altering events. Good news and bad news. Anna and Winky are left home - alone - or are they? One never knows...do one?

Lucius, we have GOT to stop meeting like this! Picking up the pieces and doing a body count. Severus gets a shock and an assignment. Draco's discovery will change his life. But how?

The aftermath and learning to live with the reality. Home to the houseboat. Severus drops his last shred of reserve - as far as Anastasia...Anna, is concerned.

'Fessing up to the truth...it's good for a laugh, anyway. Draco returns. Narcissa's worst fears are confirmed. Now what can she do...will it matter?

What has to be done, will be done.Late night visit and Dobby's new assignment. It's the only thing for it. Draco receives word of what's happened. Now what is he supposed to do?

Draco is determined to make his own decisions. For the first time in his life...and maybe the last. Gwen and Narcissa get acquainted, as does Narcissa with her unborn daughter.

Draco's 180 starts to make a change in attitudes - for a few people. Small steps for beginners. Some news - not unexpected - but not now! Oh, bother!

Something sounds familiar. Anna and Severus have one more yelling match. Luna wins a bet or two. And we have a visit from the Vicar.

Know that old cliche 'parting is such sweet sorrow'? Well, here's proof. Hogsmeade station - isn't that where this story started?

The quiet before the storm. Shhhh!

Here is a listing of various pieces of fan art that particulaily inspired me as I was writing this story. FYI. Enjoy.
