Oblation: (n.) the act of offering a sacrifice.

Percy Weasley and Severus Snape deserve many things. What they didn't deserve was a happy ending. Three separate endings to Tacenda, dictating the ways in which two fates that hung in the balance could have gone.

When I originally accepted this request I had been informed that the story, despite any changes I made, was to follow the exact line of canon in that Severus was to die and Percy was to live. As such I had actually written the majority of this chapter first in order to solidify the ideas I had. The requester then decided that they wanted both Percy and Severus to survive the events of the Battle of Hogwarts. Drapetomania will be posted as its own fic after editing.
