Summary: At the end of Fifth Year, things go as planned for some and not for others. When Harry is sent to Azkaban for killing his best friends, who will stand at his side and who will turn their back?

A/N: Because I can: A million thanks and candy to all my reviewers (though this fic has none as I'm writing this note, sine it's not yet posted). General devotion and love for my wicked beta, who will probably never let me live down Draco's four wands. Also, praises to the HP Lexicon, without which I would have been left flailing in the middle of chapter two for another couple of months. And last but not least, a great big 'thank you' to my mother, who allowed me to take over her laptop for almost the entirety of my spring break so I could finish this fic, with only a few complaints on her part.

Sorry for the day-late post, guys and gals. I was up at 3am yesterday morning and the last thing on my mind was posting this chapter. It was, actually, something along the lines of, "Shit, work till 11, then meet girlfriend for lunch, then hall meeting, then take exam, then try and take nap, then dinner without girlfriend, then meeting about this weekend's insanity, then SLEEP GODDAMNIT!" Uhm, so, yeah. (It didn't help that my normal work schedule's over now that classes are done, so I didn't remember on my way to work yesterday, like I usually do. *sweat* ) SORRY!!

Also: I am by no means a speech writer, though after two semesters of speech one would think I could manage it by now. *dry look*

A/N: Sorry about the belated update, folks. Alas, I'm more concerned with getting my end-of-term papers done than getting this fic updated.

A/N: Sorry this is late. I forgot what day it was – too busy trying to talk my lovely Sevvie into letting me skip Sociology – and I just remember 'cause I was posting another short for my LVSS series and realized it was Thursday. Oops?

A/N: What to say..... I don't really like this chapter's title, but the only other things I could come up with fit later chapters better. *heavy sigh*

A/N: I find myself torn between adding the Horcruxes to this story or not. A random question of yes or no – my favourite way to get people to decide things for me – resulted in a 'no' from magickmaker17, so they won't make an appearance. (Which is probably for the best. I could work them in – Harry's got enough dead people on his side that he could probably figure out the status and hidey-hole of each of them – but it seems like too much trouble.)

Sorry this is so late today – it's still Thursday here! – but I honestly forgot what day it was until about, oh, ten minutes ago. Oops.

A/N: The idea behind some things in this chapter come from another fic I read ages ago in which Harry does something similar. ( I don't remember the name of the fic... Anyone?) I don't mean to copy, but I can't see Harry just sitting around, doing nothing, and he's too noble to just escape. I had to give him something to do. And with his dad giving him suggestions through Luna, well, it was inevitable...

Since this fic was started before DH, I won't really use much from that book. What little I do use from that book is largely from memory – my copy isn't with me, nor, I'm pretty sure, is my sister's – so it may be off a bit. Also, since I've basically changed the ending of OotP, I'm calling creative license for any changes I make.

(P.S. - This chapter was SUPPOSED to be updated tomorrow – Thursday – but I'm dead tired and don't care to try and stay up 'til midnight my time or try and remember to post this tomorrow, so you get it early. Anyway, it's Thursday SOMEWHERE. XD)

EDIT: I fail at French. 'Soir' changed to 'Nuit'. Thanks, JacobimVonStyluss (FFN).

Disclaim Her: This story is based on characters and situations created and owned by JK Rowling, various publishers including but not limited to Bloomsbury Books, Scholastic Books and Raincoast Books, and Warner Bros., Inc. No money is being made and no copyright or trademark infringement is intended. (And you're only seeing this once, so keep it in mind. Yo.)

A/N: Came to me as I was off to bed one night after a couple of days in a row of reading Harry-in-Azkaban stories. Yeah, it's a bit over-done, but I've not seen this particular time-period before. So I'm gonna try my hand.

I'm only posting this when the whole fic is done. You'll get an update every week or so, depending on life in general, I guess? Dunno. We'll see.
