Ember to Ember (Sequel to Volunteers) Chapter 12

Author's Note: Yeah, so this is the last chapter. And since this story is supposed to be taking place in 2007/2008, y'all can imagine that this chapter is happening... well, right now. Somewhere in an AU where Deathly Hallows didn't happen in quite the same way, what with some folks not being very dead, and others regrettably unavailable for an Epilogue ;)

Thanks hugely to scrtkpr for betaing this twice, again, and to naatz, for wonderful beta as well :) :)

Now, because this is the last chapter and it's April 30, I get to do a little plug! As I've mentioned before, this is a sequel to Volunteers, a fic written for hds_beltane. hds_beltane was a gift exchange created last year by twistedm, for fics featuring H/D/S in different combinations and permutations, with postings going up during the month of Beltane (May), and often featuring a Beltane theme.

Guess what starts tomorrow? The second round!

So: Go! Read! It's a brand new set of fics at hds_beltane. You know you want to :) :)
