I don't know how I missed this, but I did. I'm awfully glad to have caught it now, though. What an intriguing bit of pre-HP history you've woven. I love this glimpse into possible E/T. :) It's nice to think it might have been a sweet reason they came together, rather than something unpleasant. I esp. like the voices you gave them. Young and vibrant, but with a hint of their future selves.
