I apologize for taking so long to write this chapter. I was having a hard time with the fifth year. Obviously, a lot of stuff is going to happen this year. (At the moment, I think it be three chapters.) I've been having a lot of difficulty trying to figure out how to put it all in--in term of sequence.

( The Enemies List )

I watched Deja Vu on DVD yesterday. I started watching the commentary, but the nephew had been given special permission to view the movie (although it's the most adult movie he's ever seen so far), and he insisted on his right to watch it. So, we had to start watching from the beginning again, sans commentary. Talk about Deja VuThe commentary ( Read more... )

Um. Don't have much to comment today, except Yay! Duniazade for coming and reading! And Yay! Apollo Anton Oho for winning the big mirrored ball trophy on Dancing with the Stars. And Boo for the show taking two hours to tell us that ( Read more... )

The niece and nephew were over for the weekend, which meant I got a chance to see Happy Feet. What an odd film that was. I had never wanted to see it in the theaters because it just seemed to be about dancing. I liked it better than I thought I would, but it's still so... weird ( Read more... )

Thanks for the comments. I really do like hearing what you like and don't like about the story. I'm hitting a point where I'm pretty insecure about what I'm doing ( Read more... )

Next installment. Let me know if you think I'm being too easy on the characters.

( Da )

I ran into a bit of a problem about something that will come up in two or three chapters. I made an assumption about British law and realized my blunder when I checked it on Wikipedia. I can work around it, but it just goes to show you that have to check your work--even in fantasy ( Read more... )

I have to ask about a couple things before I forget. I've heard that people in Europe and England don't tip--that the tip is added to the check. Is that the case? Do they tip in pubs?

It would help me to know in an upcoming chapter.

In the meantime, here is the next chapter.

( The Slytherin Way )

Before posting this next chapter, I would just like to state for the record that I am not a Lily/Snape shipper. Totally not. I mean it. Really. Didn't you see how Severus said he was attracted to Petunia, not Lily?

I don't see how I could make it any clearer.

( Christmas with the Evanses )

Thanks for letting me know that you liked the mystery element in the last chapter. Let me know when you get any theories. It'll be fun to see whether I tip my hand. I'm guessing right now that you'll find out in--it's going to be a few chapters ( Read more... )
