This is the second, and longest, instalment of my series chronicling the life of Minerva McGonagall. You don't need to read the first, a short story titled "Bonnie Wee Thing" (available here), to enjoy this story.
As in most of my Minerva stories, I have stuck largely to the canon storyline but have played free and easy with what I consider "extra-canon" information; anything not included in the seven Harry Potter books, I have felt free to use or disregard, according to my whim, most conspicuously, J. K. Rowling's Pottermore backstory for Minerva and her 2007 revelation that she conceived the character of Albus Dumbledore as homosexual.
Epithalamium takes place against the backdrop of Muggle history, and I have used it in spots throughout the novel. The dates, places, and historical events I've borrowed are real, and I have tried to remain faithful to both the facts and the flavour of these, but I beg the reader to forgive any historical inaccuracies or glaring anachronisms.
