TEAM DRAGON ENTRY: Josan "One Down, Two Across"
Title: One Down, Two Across
Author: josan
Team: Dragon
Genre(s): Alternate Universe *Hover/Click for Games Definition of Alternate Universe*
Prompt(s): Silver and Puzzles
Rating/Warnings/Kinks: NC-17; *Character death, but, trust me, you'll be happy for him. And it's only a 'sort of' death anyways. * Also, I don't believe that a Head of House has to be an alumnus of that House. Nor do I believe that a Head of House or a professor at Hogwarts even has to have attended Hogwarts. Just so you know.
Word Count: 22,291
Summary: When is a crossword puzzle not a crossword puzzle? When it leads Harry on an adventure.
A/N: First of all, many thanks to djin7, whose idea this fest was. It was great meeting you in person at Prophecy. I look forward to the day the Senators meet the Canucks in the playoffs. (And we both know who will win, n'est-ce pas?)

Next, I must acknowledge my 'bounce-ideas-off-her' beta: Sylvadin, who keeps me focussed on storytelling.

Then come my researchers, who are so kind as to help the Luddite in me. Once again, Sylvadin and my Team Dragon mates, igtow ( both of whom found me clothing sites) and amand_r (who helped with food and names).

Last, but not least, not by a long shot, the ever-watchful amand_r and the fantastic centaury_squill, who professionally blue-pencilled this story.

P.S.: Must also mention the Team Dragon Captain, joanwilder, who gave the story its last spit and polish.

Without all of these people, you would be reading a far weaker story.

	I loved that Severus' unique sense of humor sends his namesake such a gift! I loved this the second time as much as I did the first! Exquisite and elegant! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I really enjoyed this. I love the idea of the crossword to tell Harry where Snape was, then the transformation due to the manner of his survival. And, for that matter, Harry's transformation upon return to England. And Blaise. Just awesomeness all the way around. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I enjoyed this so much. Excellent uses of the prompt, unique details, riveting storytelling. Loved the ending, too (Mei Ping!). :) (Reply to this) (Thread)
