Senses by Gryffinpuff

Summary: Sense: a word of so many meanings. This is a story about senses. The common sense notion of self preservation that is lost when friends are in need, the senses of the body that can be damaged so easily, and the intuitive senses of the heart that tell you when things have changed. R/Hr focused with a little bit of H/G, not a lot of fluff, with rotating views between the characters on a truly horrific day.

6. Harry Potter and the Sense of Guilt by Gryffinpuff [ - ] (3489 words)
This chapter is 90% about Harry and Ginny (hope you enjoy it PotterFan22!!). The chapter title is a little silly, but the chapter itself is not! The action in this section is a bit darker (but not too dark!) at times than most of the story up until this point, just for fair warning. Enjoy!!

12. Attuning Your Battle Senses by Gryffinpuff [ - ] (2680 words)
I would like to thank Gmariam for her help on the last few chapters. I've been in a bit of a funk lately, and it's likely that I wouldn't have posted nearly as quickly without her insights! Once again, the story is turning in a darker direction that will linger until the final chapter. And, just so you know, there are massive cliffies ahead. You have been warned!
