First Time for Everything Fest: FIC: Thus We Remember Avalon  
Title: Thus We Remember Avalon
Author: [info]gingertart50
Other pairings/threesome: Ron/Hermione, Harry/Ginny, (highlight for spoilers) *Hermione/Severus*
Rating: R
Word count: approx. 13,500
Content/Warning(s): (highlight for spoilers) *Adultery, angst, dubious morality, obsession, homophobia*
Summary: The Wizarding World is unforgiving of adultery and Harry is very concerned for his best friend, as Hermione risks her career and family when an Unfathomable tempts her away from Ron. But why is Harry's memory playing tricks on him, and what of Harry's own reputation? The clues lead him to the Avalon Inn in Knockturn Alley and what he finds there will turn his world upside down.
A/N: Thank you to [info]lovetoseverus, punctuation-wrestler and plot-bunny wrangler without peer. This story resulted from listening to Matt Monro's "Walk Away" and Cliff Richard's "Miss You Nights" and remembering another age, when men could be imprisoned for homosexuality and women accused of adultery lost their livelihoods, reputations and homes as well as their families. I rather think that the Wizarding World would still be very old-fashioned about such things…
