Summary: The tradition of Souling, begging Soul Cakes to honor and free souls from Purgatory, brings together two souls that can fill the jagged edges of each other.
Notes: Beta by the delightfully multitasking Star Duchess. Dear vaysh11 I hope I've captured the spirit of Souling for you. It was a unique treat for me, and I hope, for you. A very Happy Hallowe'en to you!
Harry checked the oven. He counted sand grains in the timer. When the last one fell, he opened the door and sniffed the steam rising from the soul cakes. With a last glance at the recipe card Hermione'd carefully written for him, he conjured a trivet and left the cakes to cool.
"...All Hallow's Eve with the Wizarding Wireless Network. Tonight's story is about Souling, a custom that revived since the last war. Our guest, Remus Lupin: "Souling in today's Wizarding World is a way to honor our friends and family, and to connect with our past and our future. Each one eaten metaphorically frees a soul, bestowing forgiveness..."
Harry listened as Remus spun out the story he'd heard for the past three Halloweens. As he set each cake onto a scroll, it rolled up into a pumpkin with a name.
**ratatattat**
Harry waved the door open.
"Potter, it has been two years, ten months, and thirteen days since I last saw you. I come to ask for Harcakes for Dumbledore and Snape."
"Malfoy, come in and share the souls." Harry smiled and gestured toward the table.
Two Will o' the Wisps resolved into twin smirking faces as Draco crossed Harry's welcoming threshold.
