    Summary

    Mencken dismisses that with a gesture with the bottle. "I want to level with you," he says. "Just you. I don't trust any of those other fuckers. You I get. You and me, we're from the same fucking seed, just in different soil."

    "Pretty fucking poetic for being half-loaded," Roman says. His skin is crawling, but it's not unpleasant.

    "I'm a politician, I prepare my metaphors in advance," Mencken says. His gaze is fixed on Roman, hard; Roman has the sudden thought that the place could get firebombed and Mencken would still be trying to catch his gaze. "Edge," Mencken says. "Ego. Reputation. Don't you think?"

     

    Roman trips and falls into a very questionable relationship with a fascist.

    Summary

    The Battle of Hogwarts was the end in more ways than one. Months are passing by, mutely and emptily, for a particular three friends. Harry, Ron, and Hermione find the chance to make things right too good to refuse. Their families could live, after all-- if they don't muck it all up this go-around.

    Because after this, there are no more second tries.

    Harry Potter wakes up in Dudley's second bedroom in 1993, Ron in the room under the attic, and Hermione on the freshly painted second floor of her parents' converted flat. Then they remember.

    Summary

    King's Cross Station looks a little different, the second time.
    So does the riverbank. So does Sirius, so do the dementors - Hell, even his patronus is different.
    Snape, however, is infuriatingly unchanged.
