"	Gene's Story or How I Gained a Cousin < A novel by Karen Lockhart

Corvid calls Tasalin and Solani back to the keep they've taken over as a base. Sweet Dreams is organized now and it's time Corvid beings everyone together to give them direction as a whole.

Note 1: Text in 'Italics and British quotes' is Parseltongue.

Note 2: Once more, I apologize for the bits and pieces of canon dialogue/narration here and there. It's been frustrating me, too, but some things are just too perfect already to change. Which, fair warning, includes most of the conversation Fudge, Hagrid, Flitwick, and McGonagall have in The Three Broomsticks.
