Footsteps To Valhalla

Mistletoe

Story Summary:
Hampered by bureaucratic red tape and a distinct lack of clues, Harry is nearly twenty one and is scarcely any further along with the Horcrux search than he was three years earlier. Only now - as Harry and Ron are taken firmly under the wing of the Auror Department, Hermione returns to London after two years of further study, and Ginny begins working for the deeply mysterious Cryptology Bureau - do the pieces start falling into place. Sinister affairs at Charlie's Romanian dragon camp spark a series of events which opens up a world of intrigue and begins a perilous quest that will take the quartet all over the globe. Exotic locations, dungeons, dragons, Unforgivable Curses, old friends (and foes!), and the essential ingredient, romance!

We begin with some letters sent during the period between the end of Half-Blood Prince and the beginning of Footsteps to Valhalla, three years later. The main chapter follows more or less straight on from the last letter in the collection.
