2. The Train to Hogwarts by watercrystals [Reviews - 23] (5734 words)

Wow, thanks to all of my reviewers! I had intended to update little earlier but had a unexpected distraction. No matter, here is the next chapter so enjoy!

3. A Plan Undone by watercrystals [Reviews - 20] (4778 words)

I would have updated this yesterday but it was my 21st birthday and I didn't have time before my party.
Anyway, here it is, enjoy!

Also you may notice the switching to refering Severus Snape as either "Snape" or "Severus". This is intentional. When it's "Snape" than it's mostly Harry's POV, whereas when it's "Severus" than it's the POV of the man himself. I hope this isn't too confusing, it's just something I'm trying out with the POVs in which are useful to this fic.

4. The Existence of Advantage by watercrystals [Reviews - 16] (4648 words)

Some have been wondering on the S.J.E, in here it shall be answered. Also a little more of Snape's perception will be added from this chapter forward, just as planned.

Also, I feel I should add a disclaimer on certain aspects. This fic is being partially guided by the 6th book, however 90% of it all will be modified or erased (it's mostly used for classes and general events). If you haven't read the 6th book recently than you're unlikely to even noticed unless you've got every word memorized :P. I just thought I should let you know that every now and again there will be parts that are nearly exactly quoted from J.K's work, which obviously I do not own.

5. Theoretical Solution by watercrystals [Reviews - 11] (4941 words)

Thanks to "peach" for the chapter title assisance. "Solution" is far less common/repetative than "plan".

8. Gryffindors and Slytherins - part 1 by watercrystals [Reviews - 8] (3552 words)

This was originally meant to be only half of a chapter, but I was unable to sumbit it all as one, therefore I was advised to split the chapter into two parts, which is why this one is a little shorter than I intended.

Several sections of the content in this chapter belongs to J.K Rowling's other book "Tales of Beedle the Bard". I do not own such material, obviously Also thanks to Victory-Starr for help with how to get the banner on here. And thanks to JAworley for the actual banner, it's perfect and exactly how I pictured Toby. Check it out!

9. Gryffindors and Slytherins - part 2 by watercrystals [Reviews - 18] (4527 words)

Several sections of the content in this chapter belongs to J.K Rowling's other book "Tales of Beedle the Bard". I do not own such material, obviously.

This chapter contains some violence.

22. Reconciliations by watercrystals [Reviews - 16] (4757 words)

I was in a bit of a runt lately with the chapter I'm currently writing, I was stuck halfway through nothing seemed to fit for the scene to progress. After two weeks or so of it, I would like to thank my little sister "frozenfire" for helping me kickstart the writing of this fic again! Which of course, also wouldn't have happened without my lovel reviewers!

28. Instincts by watercrystals [Reviews - 14] (5356 words)

SPOILER WARNING: If you have not read the Deathly Hallows book nor seen both of the final films, I strongly advise you not to proceed.

29. The Battles We Fight by watercrystals [Reviews - 18] (4277 words)

The lyrics used in this fic are to show Snape's POV for the scenes he's not in. Remember, they have little connection to the actual scene and are merely to give insight to his mind and such without showing him at those times. I have modified them a tiny bit, however I do not own the song "Boulevard of broken dreams" by Green Day.

SPOILER WARNING: If you have not read the Deathly Hallows book nor seen both of the final films, I STRONGLY advise you not to proceed.

30. Draco's Redemption by watercrystals [Reviews - 24] (5659 words)

SPOILER WARNING: If you have not read the Deathly Hallows book nor seen both of the final films, I STRONGLY advise you not to proceed.

This is a very foreshadowing and important chapter in this story, as it sets this fic on a change of course, bringing the story forward a step.
