NOTE: You may have caught this earlier—however, May 2nd is 'supposedly' the date of the Battle of Hogwarts, which I did not learn until this fic was near its completion. For the purposes of this fic, May 10th was the Last Battle, May 10, 1998. That being mentioned...

NOTE: The Beltane rites mentioned in this chapter are mostly written with great artistic license. I do not observe Beltane, but the observance is interesting to me. Also, the MA rating kicks in here, most assuredly.

Quick Note: The Battle of Hogwarts takes place in the beginning of May, and just until recently did I find something on the Lexicon(shiver) that gives a specific date...and it is not May 10, 1998. I think it is earlier. However, for the purposes of this fic, the Battle of Hogwarts is May 10! Just thought I would point that out.
