    I really liked this. Im only sorta confused at how the lestranges got out of Azkaban? They still were Death Eaters and never pleaded imperius. Statute of limitations I suppose since technically the specific crime they got in for wasn't true. 😹 Still glad Hermione gets her Dad:)

      I'm pretty sure that in canon, the Lestranges attacked the Longbottoms after the end of the war. That suggests, at least to me, that they weren't convicted of being Death Eaters. So, if they hadn't of attacked them, they probably would have gone on free like the Malfoys. Maybe evidence would have come out later, but it's not stated in the books, as far as I'm aware.

      And if I'm remembering wrong, that's fine. In this story, they were convicted because of what they did to the Longbottoms, not for being Death Eaters. So, that's how they would have been released in the story so easily -- but also I don't really go into it because that's probably something I'd cover in a one-shot at a later time.

      Hope this helps! xx
