Severus Snape is a dirty cop. He’s been dirty for years. After Lily’s death at the hands of one of Tommy Riddle’s boys, he wants to be clean again. But once you’re on the take, it ain't exactly easy to get off of it.

 

When his new partner, Miranda Rose, wants him to use his contacts to avenge a murder too close to home, Severus finds himself in over his head. 

 

Too bad he never learned how to breathe underwater.

"Younger sons cannot marry where they like." - Col Fitzwilliam (Pride & Prejudice)

 

 ~

 

There’s little use in being a gentleman when you’re the younger son of a younger son. In fact, the person with the greatest chance of succeeding around here is Ginevra (if only she’d be reasonable).

 

But the willful sons and daughter of Burrough House in Devonshire may just find their way with a little nerve and a lot of heart (and some very unladylike behaviour).

Sic semper tyrannis

 

It is the morning of 26th December 1968 and the scandal breaks like a storm: Minister Nobby Leach has been poisoned. The suspect, Abraxas Malfoy, sits in a holding cell, red-handed and innocent. Auror Alice Longbottom is leading the investigation - not into the poisoning, but into a string of strange crimes: people vanishing, candlesticks stolen, and rumours that the dead are coming back. The Department of Mysteries is reluctant to help: James Selwyn left the office three weeks ago under a cloud of suspicion, and since then the Death Chamber has been locked, its contents sealed away. 

 

Eyes are watching everything, everywhere, spying on protests and squishing riots, but talk is growing in the shadows: turning from unrest to rebellion to revolution.

 

Lord Voldemort is ready.

Wars and uprisings had no place or bearing in Andromeda Black's life. Her focus lay within the walls of St. Mungos as a trainee healer, on the path to deeper understanding of wizarding maladies. She'd fought and earned her way here and wasn't going to let a rogue wizard with a penchant for being on the receiving end of curses veer her away. She had a plan, and no time for some silly wizarding war. Right. Right?
