Is it just me, or is Snape a little distant to Lily in this chapter?

Regardless, I'm thrilled you posted it and am equally looking forward to future developments.

I believe you when you say:

I hope you believe me when I say the next chapter will go up next weekend.

Man, you life sounds like it has sucked recently. Migraines? Ouch.

Again, I've proven myself to be a big old liar. Ouch.

New chapter isn't going to make it up this weekend--it's my birthday! and I've corralled my friends into doing far more things than is appropriate for someone of my age--but it should next week. I hope. Ack.

I just got the LJ message! Happy Birthday!

So go have fun on your birthday/etc. Hey, the story can wait. I'd love to read more, absolutely, but it's not like you're up against a deadline.

I just twigged on the fact that your weekend coincided with Halloween (parties). Which, given my guesstimate at your age, means you're probably still recovering from the celebrations. :-)

P.S. Please ignore me, I'm busy trying to use fanfic to distract me from all the work I need to get done. Fortunately, I've exhausted the available stories (with certain characters) in the (4? 5?) fandoms I read. Don't enable me!

One thing I've learned as a avid reader of fanfiction is that whenever authors say a date, it's better for me to mentally add another sixty or so behind it. That way, any chapter that comes out before it can be mentally treated as an early post.
