Summary
Two weeks after Sirius Black falls through the Veil, Harry Potter and Hermione Granger are staying at Grimmauld, going through Sirius' things with Remus.
Two weeks after Sirius Black falls through the Veil, Regulus Black's head breaks above water.
Dumbledore isn't going to be able to keep the same secrets when a resurrected Death Eater encounters two thirds of the future Golden Trio. But Voldemort's desire for immortality means his favored General is exceedingly interested in her cousin's return to life.
-----
“Such magic is dark,” Remus breathed. “It isn’t even meant to exist. It would have required… I mean, a lot of blood, if this is blood magic… surely not…”
Regulus sighed. Sirius had thought Remus’ stammering and wide eyes when his mind was overworking was cute. Reg disagreed. “Several human sacrifices,” he finished for him. “It would have taken several human sacrifices.” Their mother was certainly deranged enough to do it.
“Is it reversible?” mini-Potter muttered.

Bookmarker's Notes
Phenomenally written, researched, beta’ed, and plotted. Absolutely amazingly done, with compelling characters, actually believable emotions and reactions. The trauma responses feel so real and believable, the characters aren’t just getting over it after one talk until it is convenient to the plot, they actually struggle at realistic times and to realistic triggers. The characters feel alive, it is stunning.
I just finished chapter 23, though I am still in the process of reading this wonderful story.

For better or worse, she has an audience.

Such an interesting idea. I do wonder what would have happened if even just one person had seen El kill a maw-mouth that early on in the series.

Summary
Never in her wildest imagination could she have conceived of this—crash landing into his bed with unforeseen proximity to the dark wizard himself. Terror descended upon her.
“Tom Riddle?” she asked, her voice trembling and hardly perceptible in the air thick with anticipation.
“No…Ominis Gaunt.”
“Gaunt? Well, at least something went according to plan.” But a part of her was relieved this wasn’t a young Lord Voldemort whose legs were currently entangled with her own.

Great concept, I’d love to read more, but sadly there’s really nothing else with this pairing.

Summary
Sebastian stood, making his stance firm, and blocked a Diffindo from his uncle. Now, it's my turn. He lifted his wand and made the precise movement from the spellbook, then began the incantation: "Avada Ked--".
A painful blast knocked the wind out of him, throwing him across the room. He hit his head hard, and could barely sit up, but he saw his attacker from across the room. She stood there, eyes glowing, hands helping her dictate her wants to the Ancient Magic. Did she attack me? How could she? “Why?” he called out to her, with his entire body throbbing. He began to sit up, with the intention to move to his feet, but she pressed one of her hands down into an invisible force, and Sebastian was unable to move.
“S-stay down, Sebastian. P-please.” Her voice broke, and she was trembling so intensely he could see it from across the room.
~~~~~
If Sebastian Sallow had been told on the first day of term that he would meet a girl who would save his life in countless ways, he wouldn’t have believed a word of it. But now he knew he owed her everything and more.

Bookmarker's Notes
This is what I wrote on the last chapter:
“I loved your take on Solomon. He gave Sebastian no room to do anything right in the game, and even though Sebastian is accountable for his own actions, Solomon didn’t give Sebastian any room to actually be good with his actions. I do feel that if he had approached things differently that Sebastian wouldn’t have felt quite as desperate or feel as much that there was no other option.
“I wonder if things had been different in the game if we’d have been able to change things, even slightly, for the better.
“I appreciate that you took this approach, but also showed that change is a process. I think your whole fic showed this exceptionally. I look forward to reading the next one :)”
