Retrieve the Kraken!

Omg. Been so long since I wrote for this story-line. But as per the request of a certain reader, here is a new chapter. And yes, I still intend to finish this story. Four chapters to go now.

Title: The Old Spells
Author: me
Pairing: H/D
Rating: R
Summary: Draco's day of reckoning draws nearer.
Dedicated to alex_s9, who prodded me into coming back to my Baby. ^_^

Disclaimer: The HP characters do not belong to me, and they never have. I do not grow in wealth on account of them, except for the mental kind of wealth. Information on the four cardinal directions from this Wikipedia page. And last but not least, song lyrics quoted from the marvelously poignant Tool.

A/N: This is the second chapter of the third part of a trilogy. It will make more sense if you are familiar with the previous sections. Thank you to Fire for betaing!

Part 1: Simply Charming (5 chapters)
Part 2: Darker Magic (7 chapters)

OS Chapter 1: Serpensortia

Thanks for reading! ♥

So YAY! Last chapter of part 2 of my trilogy! *is very excited* Okay, so I will be taking a bit of a hiatus on this fic before I start part 3 because I have at least three one-shots I want to write/post (one which will be coming at you in a day or two), and I would like to possibly get in another chapter of Fourth Unforgivable before starting the next segment. Thanks so much for reading this... I hope you all have enjoyed the ride so far. ^_^

Thanks to lilysunshine1 for her marvelous feedback, and to fireelemental79, whose analysis of the last two parts of this chapter blew me away.

Thanks for reading! Oh, and anyone who cares to take a guess at the two novels I referenced for my love of their magical theory, please do.

My GOD, finally! The first chapter of the sequel to Simply Charming! *wipes forehead* Feels good to have the first chapter done.

Thanks to visleer for being my sounding board, and to lilysunshine1 and fireelemental79 for beta-ing. I love you three sooooo much!
