I always enjoy your AUs, but this one particularly intrigues me. I guess it's all the background of other... hidden societies, sorta. Very interesting, especially as you seem to have put a lot of thought into their philosophies and conflicts.
I'm thoroughly enjoying the way that everybody gets so GLEEFUL about Dumbledore being on the Old Ones' bad side! Gellert and Nicholas sharing an opinion tickled me.
Also, LOVED THIS LINE:
"Thank you, dear," Mrs. Granger said, in the same tone all wives use to their husbands when they manage to do an expected task to her near-satisfaction.
(I hope, if you have a wife, she doesn't read your fic ;) )

Dumbledore has a lots of fans in the Potterverse (e.g. the Order of Phoenix), but he has also stepped on or over any number of folks. so, they are happy when others get on over on AD.
As for the other, no, my wife does not read my fanfics. And if she did, I would say I got that idea from my mother and ex-wife.
