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.
