Story Summary:
Sequel to The Silent Siege. As Harry, Hermione, and Ron prepare for their seventh and final year at Hogwarts and Ginny her sixth, it comes in an atmosphere of unusual calm: Voldemort has just been defeated and his Death Eaters rounded up and returned to a now, more secure Azkaban prison. Even Draco Malfoy’s strangely smug behavior is easily dismissed and forgiven. But this peace does not last for long. Soon, students begin to disappear: first the Muggle-borns and then the Squibs. But worse than this, no one seems to remember them after they’ve gone - no one, that is, except Ginny.
