A Little More: The primary pairing in this fiction is Harry Potter/Susan Bones. Despite its dark beginning, the story is not intended to be an angst-filled tale. Instead, the plot focuses on Harry’s recovery from an incredibly traumatic event. He struggles at first, but new friends and acquaintances emerge to help him as he grows up.

I have endeavored to paint a rich portrait of Wizarding society, history, theory, government, politics, and business. There are lots of discussions about bloodlines, hereditary power, money, government, civil rights, family roles, and wizarding history. I hope you like it!

The story is rated Teen or PG-13 depending on which rating system you favor for language, violence, and character death.
