Author's Note: Okay, this is my very first Harry Potter fanfiction, though I'm an avid reader of them. I was just bored one night and, feeling inspired, I sat down at my computer and this came out. I've decided to post in all at once instead of in increments as waiting for the next chapter always drives me absolutely batty.
Now, I've no idea how knots, sickles, and galleons compare to pence and pounds, or (for my Canadian friends out there) dime, quarters, or dollars. So, if the prices of anything don't really make any sense to you, just change it around in your mind so that it does.
Now, please enjoy the story and please email me with any comments you may have. By the by, I really do enjoy compliments on my witty (yeah, right) writing.
