Hello, dear readers! Thank you for clicking on this story; it means a lot. If any of you happen to read any of my other stories and wonder why the heck I'm not updating them instead of writing this, well… The muse is fickle. I've been planning on writing this story for a long time and just now a sudden flash of inspiration made me decide that this should be a Drinny story. I don't really ship Drinny, but I do have a soft spot for it. I totally would have shipped it if I hadn't shipped Hinny so hard! I hope I can make justice to the two very interesting characters this will be about.

First, a prologue…

Disclaimer: I don't own anything from the Harry Potter universe. The only thing I own here is the story idea and 'The Wiz'.

When the war finally ended, the only thing anyone wanted was some peace and quiet. Some time to relax. Just a fraction of eternity without any worries.

The 12th of May 1998, ten days after the fall of Voldemort, the first case of a curious new sickness was reported to St. Mungo's. It was different from anything anyone had ever seen before. Extensive examinations showed that it was a virus that seemed to attack the wizard gene, and caused fever, sweating and hallucinations. The virus was highly contagious.

The 13th, three new victims were registered at St. Mungo's. The 14th, ten. The 15th, twenty two.

The first victim of the virus, Finn Trapsel, recovered after three days of illness, and after another day of examinations he was free to go. The virus was out of his system, and as it didn't cause anything but a few days of high fever and hallucinations, it apparently wasn't as bad as it first had seemed.

The conscious patients were greatly relieved to hear that they'd recover in only a day or two and that they'd all be fine.

Five hours later, Finn Trapsel came rushing back into St. Mungo's, yelling that he couldn't use magic anymore.

Two hours after that, an Esmeralda Bonnet died from the virus.

The 16th of May, thirty nine new victims were registered at St. Mungo's.

Okay, so that was incredibly short. I promise the real chapters will be longer ;)

Now, there. We have our background story. I sincerely hope I didn't make any doctors or soon-to-be-doctors out there cringe because of my non-existent knowledge of viruses. If I've made a mistake, just tell me and I'll try to correct it.

So, what do you think? I know it's not much yet, but do you think this could turn out to be interesting? Review! It's the only payment a poor fanfiction writer gets…

See you around for chapter one!
