Hi everyone. :)
I haven't said it in a while; thank you so much to all of you who read my stories. An even bigger thank you to those of you who review as well. It's so nice to hear what you think of my writing, to hear your theories (even if I can't confirm them :P) and it's such great motivation. :) Thank you! :D
As promised, the next chapter of "Innocent" is up. :)
Here's a preview:
“I’ll be back soon, Mr Potter,” was all Umbridge said. Harry, who remembered she worked with magical children, didn’t like the sound of that at all.
“All right,” he said. “Bye.”
Dumbledore swept out with Fudge just behind. Umbridge gave Remus one nasty look and flounced out after them. The door clicked shut. Remus, who had been sitting rather stiffly, relaxed, but only slightly.
“Were you telling the truth about Sirius and Peter, earlier?” he asked, looking nervous.
“Yes.”
Remus took a deep breath and a relieved smile spread across his face, followed almost immediately by a troubled, sympathetic look. “It wasn’t your fault, you know.”“What?”
“The tea. It made you say those things. You had no way of contr-”
The next chapter will be up in a few days time. :)
Enjoy!

Hi everyone!
My internet is up and working again (Yay!) and I've put up the recent version of Chapter 14. :) I have also added Chapter 15, a few days early to thank you for your patience with Chapter 14 - since it was late by a day and an older version.
Here's a preview:
He’d had Kreacher search the library for anything on Horcruxes, but since neither of them knew what they were, they weren’t sure where to look and in the end, Harry had decided that could wait until Padfoot got home as well.
Harry fell asleep just after midnight, but not for long - he’d dreamed he was back in the cave and set the couch on fire. Kreacher had brought him more food which Harry turned down and they’d both sat by the window until morning. Hedwig had joined them at some point and perched on Harry’s knee. She’d shed all of her baby feathers now and while Harry appreciated her company, it wasn’t the company he wanted just then.
Chapter 16 will be up in a week. :)
Enjoy these two in the meantime! :D

Hi everyone!
I'm a day late - sorry! I haven't had internet on my laptop and had hoped to have it today, but no such luck. I've borrowed my sister's laptop to get on here, and update the chapter, but bear in mind, Chapter 14 is an older version. I'll put up the proper version (which is not very different, really, but I've added a few things and taken some out) on Monday or Tuesday with the next chapter - I'll certainly have internet by then! :D
Anyway, here's a preview of what's to come:

Finally, they were ready.
Padfoot, who was wearing Harry’s rucksack took one of Kreacher’s shaking hands and Harry took the other. Kreacher twisted on the spot and Harry felt himself being pulled.
“Urgh!” he heard, and a splash, then a squeak and Padfoot cursed.
“Is this it?” Harry asked, opening his eyes. He couldn’t see a thing but he could hear water gurgling quietly, hear Kreacher’s nervous breathing and hear his own voice echoing. He shivered. Kreacher made a terrified wheezing sound from somewhere to his right.
“Lumos,” Padfoot breathed. Pale wandlight lit the cavern. The walls were damp and caught the light, glittering in a way that made Harry shiver again. Padfoot was clambering out of a small pool in the ground with a wary expression on his face and dried his wet legs with a quick spell. Harry lit his own wand.
Sorry again for the delay with this one - the next chapter will be early in compensation! :)
Enjoy!

Hi everyone!
As promised, I've just updated "Innocent" again, so Chapter 13 is up and ready to be read. :D
Here's an excerpt:
Tonks blinked at the door that said Ted Tonks. “It’s moved. When-?”
“Last week,” Jim said. “Some idiot from advertising decided he wanted a better office so your dad swapped.”
“Why?”
“Because Parker would have quit otherwise and he’s too valuable,” Jim sighed. “Ted doesn’t mind much, I don’t think. He’s only here on afternoons anyway.” He knocked and pushed the door open.
“That and the less space I have, the tidier I have to be,” Dad said as they walked in.
Tonks took one look at the desk and smiled. “Dad, you don’t know how to be tidy.”
Dad hugged her. “I do so.”
“I’ve never seen it,” she said. She cleared a little patch on the desk and put the basket down. “Besides, I’m a slob and I certainly didn’t get it from Mum.”
“True,” Dad said. His eyes landed on Jim and he chuckled. “Oh, Jim, you didn’t need to carry that. You should have made her do it.”
“It’s fine, really,” Jim said. “Besides, she carried the cat.” Canis hissed to remind everyone he was there.
The phone rang. Dad had to shift several folders and his briefcase to get to it. “Ted Tonks speaking,” he said. “Yeah, there’s room.” He gestured wildly with one hand. Tonks recognised the old gesture and grabbed a blank sheet of paper and a muggle pen and passed them to him. He smiled and fumbled with the lid. “Mmmhmm.” He scribbled something down and then paused. “No!”

Chapter 14 will be up a week from now, and there will be a message up to let you know. :)

Firstly, Happy New Year!! :D I hope you've been enjoying your holidays as much as I have. :)
I'd like to thank everyone for their patience - as you know I've been away and haven't been able to update - and also reward it: Chapter 12 of "Innocent" is up! :D
Here's an excerpt:
“Yes, Father,” Draco muttered and fled. He walked quickly - not daring to run but Father was in a bad mood - out of the drawing room, down the corridor to the foyer and then up the large staircase, down another long hallway and into his bedroom. He crossed the room, ignoring Roquefort’s squeaks from inside his cage, and ducked into his bathroom.
His reflection stared back; a thin face with a pointed chin and his father’s grey eyes. His father’s face, just like Aunt Bella had said during their last visit, though not quite as blank. I’m getting better at it, though, he thought proudly. Better than Hydrus, anyway.
He reached for the little silver pot on the marble bench-top and scooped up a lump of gel. “Bit much, isn’t it?” his mirror asked.
“No,” Draco snapped, sleeking a loose hair into place. When he was finished, he looked just like the photographs he’d seen of his father at a young age. Even his expression matched; calm and content, if a little bored. Good, now- CRACK! “Dobby!” Draco gasped, jumping away from the little elf. “Don’t do that!”
I'll put Chapter 13 up a little earlier than usual - in a few days, instead of the usual week, and then the updates will be weekly after that. :)
Thanks again for your patience!
