Whomping Willow Story: Legacy

I know I just posted a story, but this one I'd been working on since before HBP, and it's currently with my wonderful beta. I have decided, though, to post it here as well, because there's something about cyberspace that can jolt the creative process, and in any case it's far easier to edit it here than on FA. And to make it disappear. So, still a Work in Progress, but...I just tidied up some things and feel like posting it, unbetaed as this version is.

Setting: Post-HBP
Summary: Summer is fast fading away as the start of term approaches, and Hogwarts shows no signs of reopening. There are no school owls, no weary professors, no Hagrid in his hut - and no students descending on the castle. Everyone and everything is gone...except, of course, the Whomping Willow.
Disclaimer: JKR made all these crazy characters!
