---

The timeline is adapted for the purposes of my story, so if it seems off, it is because my story wouldn't work unless I changed the date of the Final Battle from sometime in May, to early September. So Harry is seventeen, just defeated Voldemort, and is returning to Hogwarts to resume his studies for his final year. The term had already started, and it took several weeks for the renovations to the castle, so this would bring us to late September, or early October.

The usual disclaimers apply. JK owns it all. Her brilliance knows no bounds.

I just couldn't resist borrowing a scene from the HBP movie, because it fit in so well with the scene in my story! LOL! Hope you'll find it as amusing as I did in the movie!

Thanks again Tabitha (ObsidianEmbrace) for betaing this so quickly and for your words of encouragement.

A special thanks to Kristeh for her support as well. Go check out ObsidianEmbrace's and Kristeh's amazing stories. Oh, just wanted to mention, and I'm sorry that I forgot to do so. I got the idea for the Howler from Jessierose85, in her review. Brilliant idea Jessie!

26. A Place to Call Home by Pandora [Reviews - 5] (4824 words)

All characters and universe belong to J.K. Rowling.

Special thanks to my amazing beta Tabitha, aka ObsidianEmbrace.

Thanks too to all who are still reading, and especially to Kristeh. I did mean to post a little note on this when I first posted the chapter, and Lesley pointed it out to me. Spinner's End will not be in a dirty, sooty, grimy industrial city near Manchester, as in Canon. I am changing the location of it, to a quiet country village. Also, yes...in Canon, Severus hated his Muggle father, and that hasn't changed, and Spinner's End does have some painful memories for Severus, but that is why he is allowing Harry to renovate and decorate the house, so that it will become a special place to make "new" memories, and allow Severus to move forward and forget about the horrors that took place there.

27. Transformations by Pandora [Reviews - 8] (4584 words)

All Characters belong to J.K. Like...duh?

Thank you Tabitha (Obsidian Embrace) for betaing this chappie for me, when you are so under the weather, you poor dear. Hope you feel better Tab!

Nothing terribly exciting happens in this chapter, but there is a lot of bonding between Severus and Harry. I hope that you enjoy it anyway.

Thanks Kristeh for always being so supportive, and not abandoning my stories.

28. Drastic Measures by Pandora [Reviews - 8] (6564 words)

29. Tis the Season by Pandora [Reviews - 9] (5353 words)

All characters and universe belong to J.K. Rowling.

I'm so sorry it has taken me so long to update. I've not been feeling so well, and real life has gotten in the way. I promise to try to be more speedy in the future with updates.

Special thanks to my wonderful beta ObsidianEmbrace for all her hard work and valuable advice.

Thanks so much to Kristen, who's always there with a pat on the back and an encouraging word.

Thank you too, to Delacre, who sent me such a lovely personal message that helped give me the motivation to continue writing this story. And of course to all those others who have stuck with the story.

30. To Be Jolly by Pandora [Reviews - 1] (3130 words)

Sorry for such a long wait. I've had some computer problems, competed in a challenge fest over at Potions and Snitches, and had real life issues!

It's not as long as I would have liked, but I promise the next chapter will be longer.

Thanks so much to ObsidianEmbrace for betaing this chappie, and for her great advice and encouragement, and to my good friend Kristeh for her support and encouragment.

All characters belong to J.K. Rowling of course!

31. Christmas Cheer by Pandora [Reviews - 2] (3289 words)

Sorry about the long wait. Real life has interrupted my creativity!

I had wanted to post on my birthday, October 27, because that was the second anniversary, of this, my first story ever, but alas I am a little late.

Thanks to J.K. for introducing us to her wonderful, magical world and characters, and allowing us fanfiction writers such liberty!

Thanks to my amazing beta ObsidianEmbrace for supporting me so wonderfully in the past two years, and my good friend Kristeh for her input and encouragement. Both are amazing writers, and you should check out their stories, "A Life More Ordinary," and "The Best Mistakes" by ObisidanEmbrace, and "Slave Child" by Kristeh. They are both very talented writers!

A little word of warning, this chapter contains alot of Ginny and Harry mush. I'm sorry, but I love Ginny and Harry together, so if this bothers you, you may want to skip that part.

Oh, and one more ramble.

I have received many messages, pointing out that the time-line of my story is off, and for this I apologise, but the story is AU, and although I had the timing of events a little scrambled in my brain at the beginning of the story, it would upset the sequence of events in the story to rectify it at this point. So again, Harry is only seventeen in this story, not eighteen, the final battle took place in a shorter span of time; namely, during the summer before, up to and including most of the month of September, resulting in the start of term resuming late, due to the major renovations required after the castle being so heavily destroyed during the battle.

Not that I don't appreciate reviews or constructive criticism, but it gets tiresome explaining why the sequence of events don't correspond to those of Canon, so I'm explaining it this one last time.

32. New Beginnings & Past Regrets by Pandora [Reviews - 7] (2848 words)

I'm so sorry that I haven't updated in so long. I've been ill, my father passed away, and work has been very stressful, but I've gotten the desire to write again after the release of Deathly Hallows, Part 2. I'm sorry if the chapter is not as long as usual, but I promise that now that I've got my muses back, I'll try to update more often.

Thank you for all of you that have stood by me and are still reading. Thanks so much to my good friend Kristen, and of course ObsidianEmbrace for correcting my mistakes and all her support and encouragement these past couple of years.

Thanks of course to the wonderful J.K. Rowling for creating such a wonderful universe. I'm really going to miss the HP universe, so we fanfiction writers and readers are going to have to keep it alive.

33. Auld Lang Syne by Pandora [Reviews - 4] (2638 words)

Sorry, short chapter and not betaed, but I really wanted to post at Midnight on New Year's Eve because it coincided with the timeline of this chapter. Will repost when beated by ObsidianEmbrace.

Special thanks to my good friend Kristeh who helped me immensely with this chapter!

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE!!

May all your wishes come true for 2012!
