The Ashes and the Flame

Winter Dragon

Story Summary:
"Five years ago the snow fell, just as it falls tonight: cold, relentless, and uncaring. Every so often the wind unleashes a frustrated howl and I shiver, huddling closer to the smoking, inadequate fire I’ve lit in our hideout deep within the Forbidden Forest. As shelters go, it’s not much, just a little crack in a hillside that’s unworthy of being called a cave. But it keeps out the worst of the weather and hides us from our enemies." After Harry Potter's death, Hermione Granger works to bring down the Dark Lord and discovers love, hate, trust, betrayal - and magic at its most impenetrable. Completion of the storyline from Led Away Into Captivity To Suffer Shame and A New Beginning, but can be read on its own.

Its black covers fly open, disgorging several brittle sheets of aging parchment. Curious, he picks them up. They’re covered in a fading, flowing script that he doesn’t immediately recognize as German. When the foreign words finally register, however, his eyes widen."
