Dear me, I forgot to rave that I love the layers of invisibility you've given this story, that there's the Muggle observer and then the official story and then what "we" know is the wizard version behind the Statute of Secrecy and then the inside story from the people who were there the night Ariana died, and then the story of what makes history -- the ethically questionable Albus and the sociopath Gellert writing their way into history while the idealistic lesbian educators erase some truth, deny and forget some truth, and stay the most hidden of all.
I can't say how much I love this story. A kiss on your hand, Author.
