Story Notes:
Disclaimer: JKR's world. I'm just having way too much fun with her characters to stop playing here.

Set halfway through Harry's fourth year, so all the kids are 14 (technically Hermione should be 15, I know, but that wasn't established by GoF and I prefer having only one age to worry about). Anything canon after OotP has probably been ignored (case in point, horcruxes).

Thank you to everyone who has reviewed, you're very encouraging! Not to mention helpful, since you've already made me realise two things I need to deal with further on in the story which I hadn't thought about.

I intend to update this story at least once a week, although I admit I've never before started posting a story without having written out at least one full draft.

Special thanks go to Dream Painter for giving me the nudge I needed to get back into posting this. Please do review if you’re interested – it reminds me that there are other people waiting to find out what happens!

I’m afraid you’ve still got more chapters to wait before you find out what happened to Voldemort; the kids still have a bit to go through before that tale is told. I’m also afraid this story is far longer than I anticipated when I began it. There are no great breakthroughs that fix everything, only slow, creeping steps forward – and the occasional step back. I hope that isn’t boring; do let me know if it is.


I really appreciate your reviews, they always make me smile widely. Thank you so much.

Thanks as always to those wonderful people who leave reviews. I only hope the rest of the story can live up to your expectations. We’re definitely over half way now, on the homeward stretch.

Thank you so much for your reviews! I love hearing your thoughts. And congratulations to chrmisha, who predicted Harry's discovery at the end of this chapter :)

You may or may not be pleased to know that we are nearing the end. Soon all will be revealed and there will be no more cliffhangers to trouble you. At least as long as you don't consider the ending to be a cliffhanger...

I'm terribly sorry about how long this chapter has taken. I had a really bad semester at uni (passed with flying colours in the end, but didn't have fun getting there) and it meant fanfic had to take a back seat. But here is the next chapter (finally!) and the next one should be done in the next couple of weeks. I promise to never again start posting a story before it's finished!


Thanks as always to my wonderful reviewers! You guys make my day and keep me from giving up completely.
