This is brilliant. I love the subtlety of it, because though you don't outright say what happened (at least not until nearer the end and even then it is still wonderfully subtle), the emotional reactions of the characters are felt so profoundly.

Thank you! Glad the characterization was good! :D

This was FANTASTIC! :D

I really can't decide who the traiter is; Lucas or Harry? Probably Lucas, but I don't really know. That's just another wonderful thing about this fic, though.

Thanks so much!

I left that purposely ambiguous. It can go either way, but I'll never tell. ;) Look! The spygran icon is appropriate for traitors. Heee.
