Home for the Holidays by Redblaze (PG-13)

Hello, I'm [livejournal.com profile] 50thousandtearz. I'll be your driver this month for Harry Potter. Fun facts about me: Books 3 and 4 are my favorites, I hate the HP movies with my heart and soul, and I'm a canon shipper. *GASP* That's right, folks. There's going to be Ron/Hermione and others of that ilk! And maybe some threesomes of our heroic trio and gen. You know, stuff that seems to be kind of rare around here, what with the overabundance of Sirius Black's true loves and a deep seated antipathy towards canon. Onto the first rec:

Fandom: HARRY POTTER
Pairing: Ron/Hermione, Harry/Ginny
Length: 18,000+ words
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: Author page at The Quidditch Pitch
Why this must be read: Post Half Blood Prince, Harry, Ron and Hermione take off to find the Horcruxes. What has life been like for them, on the run and forced to blend in with the Muggles for safety? What kind of people would they have become?

Apparently, bouncers and bartenders.

Great writing and characterization, and I love the little Fred and George interludes.

“Reports from Germany say that three people were spotted leaving the scene of the latest attack on a Death Eater camp just outside Berlin. While information is sketchy, there was said to be a man of average height with dark hair amongst the trio of revolutionaries that brought down the small camp, leaving eight Death Eaters stunned and bound for authorities. This is just one of many recent reports of vigilantes attacking by night and leaving before authorities can question them. It’s impossible to ignore that the famed Ghosts of Redemption who have intrigued our world for over three years bear stunning similarities to three Hogwarts students who disappeared almost four years ago. While descriptions of the heroic vigilantes have varied somewhat over the years, some facts are always the same. The sole female of the group is always described as slight, one man, exceptionally tall and the third, a man with dark hair and quick reflexes. With this latest report of the Ghosts once again bringing You Know Who’s followers to justice the one question that continues to plague us has to be asked once more. . . Is the Boy Who Lived closer than we think?”
