Anyone remember that little story what I wrote - The Road Less Travelled? No? Unsurprising; it was over six months ago. The trail is dead, but I picked it up all the same, because I am and always will be a glutton for punishment. So here goes: It’s five years later, and all is not well...

After 4th yr, Harry's adopted and becomes Shadow Snape. He returns to a Hogwarts run by McGonagall, with a slightly altered face and new scars. Neville and Draco help him face the monsters in his mind and the new evils stalking the world. SLASH

Sequel to Serpens Armarem! The Dark Lord has risen, and Harry soon finds out that his absence from Hogwarts doesn't excuse him from the coming war, while back at school Neville realises that not all evil takes the form of Death Eaters. AU, slash
