    Summary

    inspiral (adj.)
    (astronomy) Describing the paths of a pair of astronomical bodies (e.g. binary stars or black holes) that are spiraling in towards each other, losing energy to gravitational waves.

    in which Sirius lives, Harry chills out (relatively), and Ron is forced (by absolutely no one) to pick up the Malfoy-stalking slack.

    . . .
    Ron paused with his hand reaching for the bathroom door, debating turning back-- back to dinner and his friends and pretending he saw nothing out of the ordinary.

    He drew in a final, fortifying breath before easing it open. The sound of sobbing -- choking, heaving, desperate -- was no longer muffled by the heavy wood. A high, whiny voice crooned empty platitudes like backing vocals for the world’s most depressing song, and it was with a creeping horror that Ron realized Myrtle wasn’t the one crying.

    Summary

    Will lifts his eyes from the posters on his wall. He misses Bowie and The Cure during the split second his eyes take the road to Mike’s face. When they arrive at their destination, his heart trembles in his chest. 

    “I’m sorry,” he starts. Eyes still wide and sad. “Don’t be mad at me anymore, I can’t stand it.” 

    Maybe Will should feel bad for making his boyfriend go through such an emotional turmoil. But when Mike looks at him like this and uses this voice, he can’t hold himself back from enjoying all it. The concept of guilt be damned.

    He has the audacity to push it too.

    Summary

    Panic begins to run through his veins, speeding up his pulse and his breathing. “I can’t– why don’t I remember it? I don’t remember any of it.”

    Mike blanches. “Any of what, Will?”

    Jonathan’s hand is on his knee. Both of them are too close. He can’t breathe.

    “The Upside Down. I… I can’t remember any of the Upside Down.”

    Summary

    What if the prophecy kept at the Hall of Prophecies was manipulated to suit the needs of an old manipulator?

    What if the recent Dark Lord forgot his original goals in his quest to attain immortality and cheat Death?

    What if the Boy-Who-Lived accepted his death even before he knew he was the Boy-Who-Lived?

    And what if the Fates intervened to start a new game of 'chess'?

    ---------
    “Dumbledore seriously needs to check his morals! He wants a child to kill a grown-up wizard! Not to mention one of the most powerful dark wizards in Britain!”

    “The prophecy does say you’d be his equal," Atropos pointed out.

    “Only raw magical power won’t be able to do anything," Harry pointed out. “I can’t just fire off spells at him and hope for the best. Besides, he must have had at least three decades worth of experience over me.”

    “Five decades actually," Lord Death supplied.

    Harry slumped slightly. “You guys and Dumbledore both are insane!”, he proclaimed.

    “We didn’t say you will have to kill him really," Atropos pointed out.
