Friends and Strangers is a sixth year Harry Potter fic written by Bara no hitomi and Jude.

The story was written over the course of several months as a gift for Ali_Granger on the occasion of Winter Solstice 2004. We hope, however, that other folks will enjoy it as well.

This story is pretty much rated G up to the last chapter, and then, well, rating depends upon your imagination. There is nothing graphic, except for a bit of violence. However, if you object to humor, romance, or slash in any form as applied to the Harry Potter characters, you'd best read something else.

And good heavens, we wouldn't dream of imagining that we owned the Harry Potter empire. There is no infringement of anyone's ownership intended in this story.
