AUTHOR'S NOTES: Greetings! For those of you still here, welcome back and for those of you who are new to my mad world, welcome, welcome!
THIS STORY IS AU. THaH originally took place during the fifth year. It has been moved to the seventh. You will also notice that it is only cannon-compliant through roughly the fourth book, as the original was written -or partially, rather- prior to the release of OotP, and I have made absolutely no effort to make it compliant with the rest of the series.
:::For those of you who have read the original and are curious::: (For those of you who would like to, the original may be found at FF.net under the same penname -but don't say I didn't warn you of the poor quality!)
It has been an extremely long time since I've posted anything, I know. My intention was to get this finished before posting it. I wasn't *quite* successful, but I do believe that I am far enough ahead of the posting curve that I will be able to put out regular updates. The chapters are anywhere from 8-15 single-spaced standard word pages long, and therefore each chapter will be posted in multiple parts, so don't be upset if the “TWO::” heading shows up on “chapter four,” etc., etc.,
The first few chapters will follow pretty much along the same the lines as the original (but hopefully with fewer mistakes, thank you, darling Narcissa) and the plot will also remain MOSTLY the same, but there will be new additions made. I've done my best to make it a little more realistic, have tried to explain the technicals a little bit better, and would be most appreciative if you'd let me know if I've gotten it right.
Over the years (yes, it has been that long) I have lost interest in this type of piece, I think, but THaH is one of my babies, so it *will* be finished. Once this revision is complete, however, I will likely not return to it and the following sequel will be in a drastically different tone.
For those of you who have been asking, once this is complete and posted, I will be revising/finishing the following pieces: (though not necessarily in this order, and peppered with whatever else I feel like writing.)
