Title: The Trick Is to Keep Breathing, Chapter 5: Yule
Pairing: Ron/Padma, Pansy/Parvati, Harry/Hermione, Draco/Ginny, Seamus/Dean
Category: Mystery/romance
Rating: R
Summary: Three years on, the second war still casts a long shadow. When facing challenges like a compulsive addiction, a baffling mystery, a life changing event, an impending career shift, or simply moving in with your boyfriend, maybe the best strategy is to lean on your friends, put one foot in front of the other, and let the saving-the-world bit take care of itself.
In this chapter: Two discussions are postponed, one is planned, and one is resolved.
Warning: Deals with issues of addiction recovery. (skip) Minor character death of primary adversary.
Length: 5700 words
Notes: Sequel to Eight Ways from Sunday (LJ | DW | AO3) and the interstitial Entr'Acte (LJ | DW | AO3). Title and all cut-tag text from the Garbage song of the same name.

slytherincesss for her enormous help and encouragement.
This story would not exist without Ely's ideas, input, support and encouragement. I wish I'd finished it sooner, but I hope she's someplace where she can read this anyway. Knowing her, she probably is.
