Summary: It is 1975, the height of the First Wizarding War, and Voldemort's reign of terror has spread far and wide. His followers, the Death Eaters, have begun cursing and killing Muggles. As CI5's brief includes domestic terrorism, the responsibility for stopping Voldemort falls on them -- but this is not a fight they can win without magic. For this reason, Ray Doyle, an Auror, is transferred from the Ministry of Magic to join CI5, as its first and only wizard. But his abilities must remain secret from his fellow agents, including Bodie, his new partner. But Bodie seems to have a few secrets of his own, and it especially doesn't help that Bodie is so damned attractive...

Notes: This is a fusion with the Harry Potter universe, though you do not need to be familiar with Harry Potter to read the story. Thanks to ancastar for the amazing, amazing vid trailer and artwork! Thanks to the mods for running this thing! Thanks to my friendslist for the encouragement! Thanks to callistosh65 for the Britpick! Thanks to lysimache for moral support, fixing my misplaced commas, and providing the idea in the first place!

Thank you very very much for all your kind words!

It took me forever to settle on houses for Bodie and Doyle, but I knew Cowley had to be Slytherin. I think they train them in triple-think over there!

I'm glad you think I pulled off the crossover well, especially if you've written one. I've never seen Spooks -- it's on my queue of things to watch on Netflix someday -- but after I see it I'll definitely have to read your fic. :)

I'll see what I can do about a sequel. I think the people who have been asking for more Roman fic have been waiting longer. So many sequels I could write!

And thanks again! :)

Well, see, we want the Roman stuff as well. Or, to put it another way, those of us waiting for the Roman stuff want HP now, too.

Maybe you should do a fusion of the Roman stuff with the wizarding world as it must have been back then, and please everybody....

Ot maybe you should just find a way to have extra hours in every day!

I got round all the problems by setting Spooks and HP in Regency England so that my chosen Spooks characters and grown-up Harry could be the same age with no complicated explanations or doctored timelines.

You definitely have to watch Spooks - a.s.a.p. - never mind some day! It's MI5, ensemble cast which changes as and when people get shot/blown up/etc. and is full of good looking well developed characters, topical issues, and fascinating back stories. Brilliantly scripted and acted. But never expect the hero to survive and come back in next week's episode - he might, but the show doesn't always work that way. Edgy stuff!
