Story Notes:

This is the first time in years that I have written anything for Harry Potter again. I was inspired by the fic fest, and my holiday to the Lake District last week. I loved it there! The house was inspired by a house I saw near the A591 between Windermere and Ambleside. The whole setting near Troutbeck, was inspired by a walk I took in the area (it's in Top 10 Pub Walks in the Lake District). As far as I know there is no farm actually called Evan's Farm there, but who knows...

I realised that I had a spelling mistake in the title of this story.. Oops. Just so you know, this is not betaed at all. The only thing I use is spell check.
This chapter links the first chapter with the rest of the story. I keep using Mr. and Mrs. Evans, because I can't remember if their names are officially known.

3. Chapter 3 by relative1983 [Reviews - 3] starstarstarstarhalf-star (2151 words) Printer

No meeting between Susan and little Harry just yet, but he will be there soon. Next chapter in fact.

4. Chapter 4 by relative1983 [Reviews - 5] starstarstarstarhalf-star (1466 words) Printer

I changed a few sentences and small details in chapter three. Nothing major, so you don'thave to reread it if you don't want to. I decided to split this chapter into two, because I couldn't quite get it right today. I also hope you don't mind that I have been changing the POV several times already. Eventually it will be from either Severus or Harry's POV only. But not just yet!

5. Chapter 5 by relative1983 [Reviews - 3] starstarstarstarstar (2740 words) Printer

Finally I can present you the next chapter. As I said, I got kind of stuck writing this chapter, untill I decided to write it from Harry's POV. No Severus in here though! Some of it is a repeat from chapter 4, due to some conversations which I had to keep the same. Oh yes, I hope go-carts it the right word to use for what I had in mind. I used an online translator and that's what it came up with.

6. Chapter 6 by relative1983 [Reviews - 4] starstarstarstarstar (1940 words) Printer

A/N: I had wanted to post this yesterday, but we didn't have any internet, because our provider got attacked by some virus or other. Realised I need to actually finish this story before the summer fic fest ends, so I need to do some writing (and possibly skip some time again in the story).

Two chapters in one day: Hooray! Many of you are wondering when Severus is returning to the story and I can safely say he will make an appearance in the next chapter! (finally).

9. Chapter 9 by relative1983 [Reviews - 3] starstarstarstarstar (1498 words) Printer

I am on a role today. I just finished chapter nine. Three chapters in one day. Not sure if I can update tomorrow, I have to go to Uni, but I want to finish in time for the deadline. Also, school and work starts up again next week, so I wouldn't even have time to write.

10. Chapter 10 by relative1983 [Reviews - 5] starstarstarstarstar (1141 words) Printer

New chapter already. This will explain the strings that'll be attached to Harry inheriting the farm and what role Severus is going to play. Unfortunately it does mean that Susan is going to end up dead sometime in the future (sorry people...)

11. Chapter 11 by relative1983 [Reviews - 4] starstarstarstarstar (1693 words) Printer

Time skip ahead. I suck at writing very detailed about recoveries (plus I lack a lot of knowledge about it), so suddenly it's nearly Christmas and Harry is back.

Please don't hate me for this chapter! It's rather sad, but it had to be done.

15. Chapter 15 by relative1983 [Reviews - 3] starstarstarstarstar (1269 words) Printer

Only one more chapter to go after this one, and it will be an epilogue. I haven't written it yet, but do know most of what will happen. Enjoy this shorter, but hopefully nice chapter.

16. Chapter 16 by relative1983 [Reviews - 4] starstarstarstarstar (3361 words) Printer

The epilogue! I kept pretty close to Canon with this one, I think. Hope you don't find some of it too cheesy. Had to finish the story now, as I am starting a Masters in Children's Literature as of today (iek!) and I won't exactly have time to write, plus the summer fic fest ends today, right?

The End.
