seven years (and then some): the end

Chapter 1: notes & info

General Notes: Please read before starting the story so that as an individual you can make the decision on whether or not this is a fic for you as viewer discretion is advised

Unlike a certain someone, I have actually done research and thought things out more than the minimal thought process required for creating entire characters out of poorly crafted caricatures but if there are any issues that have gone over my head as many have in a life until they're pointed out to me, please reach out and let me know as I am always looking to learn and better my work as well as myself, sincerely a disabled queer reader and writer who believes that a better world is possible

Some of my favorite songs will be used as within the story as originals but will be credited in post story mentions at the very end

Wands are not required or needed to perform magic, but help channel the energy to be better executed, especially in delicate spells including healing.

trigger warnings (tw)/content warnings (cw): explicit descriptions of death, violence, knives, torture, abduction, blood, abuse (physical, emotional, and sexual), sex (penetration, oral, and masturbation) and sexual situations, pregnancy, swearing, alcohol & drugs, marriage, weddings, as well as potentially triggering comments and actions made by characters in regards to gender, sex, race, religion, social status, ableism, self harm (eating disorders, over exercising, scars, self deprecation, substance abuse), rape, cheating, guns, the Holocaust, incest within the Wizarding World families, age gaps in platonic and romantic relationships

Chapters with detailed smut and graphic violence will have an * by the chapter title (all explicit sexual scenes occur between characters of age sixteen and older as that is the age of consent in the UK)

This is a Fix It Fic

Not Beta Read

Credit for all canon characters and storylines begrudgingly goes to JKR solely because I don't want to be sued but plot lines from the movies and books will be included, tweaked, expanded upon, and completely ignored

General Notes of Hogwarts:

Letters from Hogwarts for First Years student are sent to students on July 1st of each summer which they can accept or decline if they opt for one of the other magic schools in the world or be homeschooled, all Second through Seventh Years receive their letters on August 15th each summer

All students wishing to ride the Hogwarts Express to school on the first of every September are expected to arrive King's Cross Station* through the secret entrance prior to 11 a.m. when the Hogwarts Express leaves to bring students to Hogsmeade Station where they arrive after the 7-8 hour ride *for students who don't live in London, they apparate to King's Cross Station with either a capable parent or with Hogwarts provided assistance, or can opt to meet their fellow classmates at the Hogsmeade Station

Once arriving at the Hogsmeade Station, Second through Seventh Years ride horseless carriages up to the castle pulled by creatures called Thestrals, winged horse-like creatures that are invisible to anyone who have not personally witnessed someone's death, while First Years cross the Black Lake in magically enchanted boats with the Keeper of Keys and Grounds, Rubeus Hagrid, or another suitable teacher if he is unavailable

Once at Hogwarts, Deputy Headmistress/Master talks to the First Years prior to the First Years and any transfers sorting process, the hat sings it's song which varies from year to year, the Headmaster gives a speech, then the Welcoming Feast begins, and once it's over students are escorted back to their dorms by their Prefects as the Head Girls & Boys perform their duties of roaming the halls along with Professors
