From those familiar with my work, welcome to the obligatory Long Summary and Opening Notes.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, or his universe. Which is good, because I'd burn it down and start over properly.

Notes: This is not a story about Harry Potter. Oh, he's there, poking around, playing Quidditch and all, but this isn't a story about him, so much as other people who happen to also be living in the strange times that surround him.

Mechanically, this will be a different kind of work for me. I'm actively using archaic speech forms and patterns, as well as a first person view for an undeveloped canon character, who I am taking completely out of their context. Astoria may as well be an OC here. And yes, I'm aware the site names her ASTERIA. Deal with it, or don't. Your choice.

This is one of two fics that I'll write in time that center on the werewolves of Rowling's world. Wolfmother takes a more spiritual, primal angle. Fíona (Astoria/Asteria Greengrass, as noted in the story properties) as I will depict her, and how she relates to a lost world, and then fights to return to what she feels is home.

Note to Outlinkers: This is for LJ communities, Spacebattles, and DLP: I have no intention of paying attention to what is said about this story. This is a work between me and my companion, and as such, we aren't looking for input. There will be no WIP thread, and though I often discuss my work in the DLP forums happily, this will be an exception. Link if you must, but don't do it to get my attention. Also: Potter Law will be broken. He is not the primary character. You have been warned.
