Story Notes: My Gauntlet Guide, luinrina/Bine, was literally the best I could've asked for. Thank you SO much for putting up with me and my incessant PMs and questions! *squishes* This wouldn't have been the same without you.
Thank you so much to my beta, Nikki - your work on this fic helped it flow much better. Thanks for always letting me know what was off with the story. Mucho hugs!

The term Knights of Walpurgis comes from a JK Rowling interview in which she stated that that had been the original working name for the Death Eaters.
Spelltropy is a condition taken from the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer. The “Sleeping Beauty sickness” is one that I encountered while reading “The Sleeping Beauty Ward” by MorganRay, really a quite enchanting story.
Auror Proudfoot, referred to at the end, is actually a canon character! He was mentioned in passing in the 8th chapter “ Snape Victorious “ of Half-Blood Prince as being stationed at Hogwarts along with Tonks, Dawlish, and Savage, according to HP Lexicon. There was no first name given, so I made up the name “Blair.”
