What are dependents left to do when betrayed by those they trusted most, but to find a way to become masters in their own right. Set after Department of Mysteries fiasco in Order of the Phoenix.
This had the potential for greatness, but needed a lot more flushing out (reminded me a lot of Lily's Boy). I loved the idea of the New Order, Slytherin-esque conclusions to the DE, and relationship pairings. However, the pairings all happened ABRUPTLY--there was no build-up to the relationships/getting-to-know each-other stages. Nothing was really explained or thought through (e.g. "I think I can remove your death mark"...three sentences later...it's taken care of--this paragraph NEEDED to be a chapter long at least, but no).
I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the humour here. Obviously it's played for laughs and that worked quite well. Not a fic to be taken seriously, but it gave me a chuckle.
