In the silence between whisper and shout

So I have an idea for a Harry Potter AU involving Slytherin!Chessmaster!Ron, slightly-unstable-due-to-suppression-of-magic Ariana-esque Harry, Ravenclaw!Hermione, and Manipulative!Dumbledore (though not in the way you'd expect, and no more manipulative than he is in canon, really).

*adds to list of fics I'll probably never write*

"Hmm ... I wonder if any fanfic communities have tried that: re-imagine Potter based only on the chapter headings."

Tempting. Oh-so-very tempting.
