The Mystery of the Lightning Bond by electronicquillster

Summary: As Andrea Benning starts her fifth year at Hogwarts alongside The Trio, she has her own daily things to deal with, like a life-altering secret, studying, orchestrating Operation Sophie-Roderick Romance and a crush of her own. When one attends Hogwarts, one can hardly expect things to go as planned.

Fred and George Weasley are really only returning to Hogwarts for the priceless market research, but will there be time for other things as well?

As friendships and romances develop, the students at Hogwarts will also have to deal with the second rise of the evil Lord Voldemort and the terrible toad of a Defense professor - Umbridge.

Although JK stole all of the original text from me, I must let you know that this is the stuff she cut out. Think along the lines of Lord of the Rings Extended editions...this fic is like the stuff on the extra discs and the deleted scenes, maybe some alternate endings...I don’t know. I haven’t decided whether or not Sirius will die in my version...Plenty of time to decide that.

Now, everyone open your books to pages 182 and 183, for that is where our tale begins...

After an eternal hiatus, I've finally produced an acceptable chapter. It's long and I hope that some sort of consolation, but I really must thank all the people who ~~nagged~~ encouraged me to keep going. There's only a little bit left, so a review to let me know of anything you'd like to know about before the story ends would be good. I'm gonna be tying up all the loose ends.

And fear not, you will find out what the lightning bond is in chapter 22. *wink*

As in other chapters, large sections of italics that aren't letters are direct quotations from Order of the Phoenix, approximately pg. 706 area of the book, the chapter entitled "O.W.L.s" for those interested.
