Rating: R
Wordcount: This part 6100
Summary: AU. Neville Longbottom, the Boy-Who-Lived, won the war against Voldemort, and Harry Potter played his small part in that victory. Now, less than five years later, a group of disaffected former Death Eaters is causing trouble, and asking for Harry as a hostage in return for a period of peace. Harry, believing it’s better he be taken prisoner than Neville, accepts, thinking this will give Neville time to gather his forces and put down the Death Eaters. He doesn’t much think about his own fate, other than to assume it will be gruesome. He’s wrong.
Author’s Notes: This is one of my “From Litha to Lammas” chaptered fics being posted between the summer solstice and the first of August. This will probably have five to six chapters, and is a fairly dark fic. The title is a play on the description of politics as “the art of the possible.”
