Ch. 5:

There seems to be a code error here:

“Azkaban has no record of your ever having been incarcerated here, and if you step over this threshold now” - he looked down at it -
marauderbigbang “you should find the wall offers you no resistance.

---

It was, Snape thought, completely characteristic of the headmaster: a token gesture of kindness of the sort that won people over to him, yet left the larger problems of their lives unchanged.

Ha, indeed...

“Then of course the normal enchantment that prevents Apparition out of Hogwarts will have been lifted,”

In HBP it's just in the Great Hall ("May I emphasise that you will not be able to Apparate outside the walls of this Hall, and that you would be unwise to try") - wonder if in this continuity, incidents like this led to lifting it in as small an area as possible? In any case I gotta wonder what Voldemort was doing just hanging around in the Shrieking Shack (and my, isn't it a lucky coincidence?).

Fixed - I think. Getting the code for this fic in a condition that makes both LJ and Dreamwidth happy has been a challenge, to say the least. I’m handling all the coding stuff for the later chapter posts, but I can’t say I’m great at it yet, so please bear with me. I do appreciate your pointing it out, though - there’s so much text to proof that it’s inevitable I will miss a few things.

True, but I’m not sure Voldemort is enough of a linguist to make the distinction. Just pretend it’s a metonymy or whatever. :)

I think he probably arrived there about ten seconds before Snape did, actually. And there are no coincidences - except when I fuck up and need to cover my ass. ;)
