15. Chapter 15: Uncle who? by Severus Draconis Potter [Reviews - 11] starstarstarstarhalf-star (1415 words) Printer

I needed to give myself a break from the angst,because I'm tired of crying on my keyboard as I write lol

Give it a few chapters it will return. At the moment, here is the next chapter.

16. Chapter 16: And so it Begins by Severus Draconis Potter [Reviews - 6] starstarstarstarstar (1707 words) Printer

Thanks so much for the support, and I hope you guys like this chapter as well. Here we get to see the begining of Draco...Harry sounds a bit mental...thats intended as Albus said before he isnt well..

17. Chapter 17: Emotional Turmoil by Severus Draconis Potter [Reviews - 10] starstarstarstarstar (2194 words) Printer

The angst is back in this chapter...and they dont even know of Harry's death yet. This chapter was super long so I had to spilt it up. So this one is a longer longer then the regular ones.

18. Chapter 18: Hiding from Myself by Severus Draconis Potter [Reviews - 6] starstarstarstarstar (1605 words) Printer

This is that other half from the previous one..I split because that one was so full of angst is this is the backstory to Harry's new name.

19. Chapter 19:Resorting and Reactions by Severus Draconis Potter [Reviews - 5] starstarstarstarstar (2842 words) Printer

Just want to remind people this story is full of angst, I myself cry when I write it. The incoming chapters are sad, including part of this one. I tried to give up a bit of a break from it but its back full force.

On another note in case anyone was intrested I got the wand cores and wood from wizardwands if your curious about Harry's wand. It will be explained in later chapters too. Btw..this chapter is a bit long, because it deals with a grief..

Sorry I didnt really want to do the sorting hat talk and also to end this super longer note this chapter is for Wednesday I just wont have time to post tomorow.

20. Chapter 20: Spreading the Blame by Severus Draconis Potter [Reviews - 8] starstarstarstarstar (1374 words) Printer

Hey guys, another angst filled chapter..its not as sad as the previous one..or the next one if I'm being honest.

Thanks for all the support, here you go. I hope the markers help keep you guys unconfused.

21. Chapter 21: Can you handle it? by Severus Draconis Potter [Reviews - 8] starstarstarstarstar (2522 words) Printer

This chapter was depressing to write..lol It has various POVs again because not everyone is in the same place and not everyone deals with grief the same. I put the markers up, so I hope it helps with any confusion.

Its a bit longer then usual chapters but I couldnt split it up. I hope you like it and before you guys ask again..I'm not that cruel to leave Molly, Sirius, Arthur or Remus in the dark ok..Enjoy though

22. Chapter 22: Are you insane? Yes I think I am by Severus Draconis Potter [Reviews - 7] starstarstarstarstar (1467 words) Printer

Hey guys, here is the next chappie, Sirius and Moony find out, and yea.

I took a page out of star wars...it fit ok lol

23. Chapter 23: Trying to Cope by Severus Draconis Potter [Reviews - 6] starstarstarstarstar (1456 words) Printer

I know this is a bit late, but I still got it on today so I hope you guys like it.

Um before you guys ask there will be NO pairings in here, none that I'm aware of at the moment. What you are gonna see beetween Mione and Blaise are stricty Platonic. Who has the time for a relationship during something like this. They will find comfort in each other though. As someone has pointed out, she blames herself.

Um one last thing, Sirius speaks without thinking, and his reaction is the one thats starts Harry spiralling back to his depression. I think that was all the points, as I said Voldemort will find out..just give it a minute. He's not really all that important to the story, but he will know.

24. Chapter 24: You don't Understand by Severus Draconis Potter [Reviews - 6] starstarstarstarstar (1503 words) Printer

I split this up, when I realized I hadnt had a chance to write the next chapter...oops..summer is here and I still dont have a lot of time lol

Hope you guys like it anyways

25. Chapter 25: Breaking Down by Severus Draconis Potter [Reviews - 8] starstarstarstarstar (1491 words) Printer

Thanks for the reviews guys they're awesome, I'm suposed to be cooking dinner but I'm updating right now lol. Glad you guys are still into story and such, no warning this chapter. Though Sev and Harry bonding is kinda here lol

26. Chapter 26: Why did he do it? by Severus Draconis Potter [Reviews - 6] starstarstarstarhalf-star (1637 words) Printer

More Harry and Sev bonding next chapter, Um, you'll see that even the most put together person can and will break if they cant handle a situation. So I really dont wanna hear...they wouldnt do that..blah blah..this story is obviously AU lol.

27. Chapter 27: I'm not as strong as they think I am by Severus Draconis Potter [Reviews - 7] starstarstarstarstar (2274 words) Printer

I know I didnt update yesterday, I wasnt feeling it to be honest. But this chapter is longer then my usual ones, so I'm sure I will be forgiven. Ok heads up warnings for this chapter. This story has triggers, as if you didnt know.

This chapter contains a bit of self harm, I suppose its nothing much but if your like me...it might trigger something so your warned. Anyways on to the story.

28. Chapter 28: I was always Alone by Severus Draconis Potter [Reviews - 4] starstarstarstarstar (1344 words) Printer

No warnings this chappie

29. Chapter 29: What you see is not what you get by Severus Draconis Potter [Reviews - 6] starstarstarstarstar (1625 words) Printer

I think I'm gonna have to update like every 2-3 days instead of everyday. I need a break..I'm dying here..this story is all angst for the moment and its killer..I really do cry to it as you guys do lol

30. Chapter 30: Think before you speak by Severus Draconis Potter [Reviews - 8] starstarstarstarstar (1496 words) Printer

Severus and Harry interaction will be back next chapter I promise.

31. Chapter 31: The meaning of Selfish by Severus Draconis Potter [Reviews - 10] starstarstarstarstar (1524 words) Printer

I'm not gonna apologize for being lateish...because its summer...and my mum told me I was spending to much time indoors and confiscated my computer lol. Apparently I have to prioritize my time more..

Oh I know that I said that Harry and Severus was coming back this chapter..I meant the next one...Neville had to make a reapperance..sorry...:)

32. Chapter 32: How can you know me, if I don’t even know myself? by Severus Draconis Potter [Reviews - 6] starstarstarstarstar (3774 words) Printer

I know I said Harry And Snape bonding...but shit...the story keeps running from me. They are in like Chapter 34..the longest Chapter to date..this one is actually really long, because I have a plan on what chapter to end the story, but if I keep wrting smaller chapters, I'll pass it lol.

I hope you guys are grateful and what not, and on to the story. Warning: Mentions of SI, sucicide, theres a bit of blood, but its from a duel lol, and its not graphic,

Oh one more important note, Yes for the purpose of this story Harry has found the Prince's book, I think thats the only thing.

33. Chapter 33: Lesson Learned by Severus Draconis Potter [Reviews - 6] starstarstarstarstar (1826 words) Printer

Funny story...I got a summer job and its taking up my time lol..but not to worry, I would have posted sooner, but I accidently written chapter 34 before this one..oops lol, well here it is, enjoy and all that.

The next one is longer..way longer :)

34. Chapter 34: Realizations by Severus Draconis Potter [Reviews - 5] starstarstarstarstar (4137 words) Printer

Harry and Sev bonding coming right up...those who wanted old Voldie...hes here too...Longest chapter yet

35. Chapter 35: What its Worth by Severus Draconis Potter [Reviews - 7] starstarstarstarstar (4059 words) Printer

I know the longest update ever...oops..I work at a place that caters to kids and its hectic, so by the time I get off work at 11pm..I'm soo tired, I dont have the strength to type anything. Not to mention, I have to go to work happy so I cannot write this before work, I always end up crying over the keyboard lol

This one is 13 pages, so I hope it makes up for that long wait.

36. Chapter 36: I Trust you by Severus Draconis Potter [Reviews - 11] starstarstarstarstar (2678 words) Printer

First off let me apologize for taking forever to update. I had no time to myself..and I could give you a bunch of escuses with school restarting and classes but I wont.

I was trying to make the chapter longer, for obvious reasons I dont want a story with a ton of chapters.

Anywhoo, my story is AU...pretty sure you knew that. For the sake of the story, Horcruxes and what not are being discussed here. Albus has told Severus, and leave it at that. Oh one more thing, I'm not making Sirius and Remus the bad guys sheesh, Sirius is hotheaded, but he does use his brain on occasion and he will this chapter. I think thats it, on to the story :)

37. Chapter 37: Planning by Severus Draconis Potter [Reviews - 13] starstarstarstarstar (2726 words) Printer

I understand its been a year but this story is a hard one to write, considering I'm speaking from personal experience too, someday its gets too tough for me to write. I had a friend who chose to do this..to take this way out...and when I write Hermione, I speak from my own experience, so trust me when I say someone who is so put together can snap given the situation.

This current chapter has been completed for months but I couldnt read over it without triggering myself..Anyways...I'm gonna have to go back and reread my story...I'm trying hard to push back against the writer's block.

38. Chapter 38: Where do you go from Here? by Severus Draconis Potter [Reviews - 14] starstarstarstarhalf-star (2360 words) Printer

So, I'm sorry for the hiatus this story went on. It became to much for me to write. And at this time I'm not strong enough emotionally to finish the story like I want too. Its too much of a trigger as I write this story from personal experience. Sorry it's so short as well, nothing I can do about it.

So this is the last chapter, yes it ended abruptly and the story well it was far from over. But I can stop it here and maybe a year from now, I'll have the strength to continue on with it or not. Only time really will tell. But anyway I hope you enjoy the last bit of it. I just didnt want it to be an abandoned story.
