Summary
Bad title alert! Seriously, I don't know what's wrong with me!
Anyway, this is the sequel to 'A Death in the Family'. I had initially left that story open, with possibility of adding a second chapter just to tie up the loose ends. Well, as they say, "the tale grew in the telling", and now I have this!
This story is slightly narrower in focus than that story was, trading a slimming down of the main cast in favour of a longer overall narrative. With the next-gen kids, we have angst, self-loathing, hormones and relationship drama. The main plot takes place over their hands, with Hermione as our only observer.
A power struggle is unfolding at the highest levels of government, with greater stakes than most people realise, between more faction than most people know exist. The Azkaban escapees are still at large, Harry Potter is hanging onto his job by thread and dark minds are plotting tremendous acts of evil.
Note: This is an old imported work, which never did receive a second chapter (though one was all but finished before my laptop died, along with all my old stories).
Update: In the process of importing this unfinished story, I got a hankering to try and reconstruct it.
