This week's feature probably should've been recced a lot earlier. It's an old vid, predating OotP and seems to have held up nicely through time. Fans of Voldemort can still relate to it and it has been recced before. It's a lovely song coupled with an excellent theme. It may also be slash or het or gen depending on one's interpretation.
