Hello everyone!
I've put the next chapter of "Innocent" up. :) Enjoy! :D

Here's a preview:

“What?” Remus asked, glancing over.

“I think I might know who Smoky is.”

“What?” Remus asked, stopping completely. Matt had stopped too, and glanced behind them at the main building, which was now only just visible though the trees.

“That jumper,” Matt said. “I’ve seen it before. The girl who owns it is an Auror – she’s the one that saved me that day in London – the one who cut Greyback’s hand.”

“Are you sure it’s the same one?” Remus asked, positive that that jumper was Dora’s, because he’d seen her wear it several times in the past, and equally positive that Dora wasn’t Smoky.

“I’m sure,” Matt said. “When I woke up in St Mungo’s, the Auror – you know the bloke with the funny eye? - was telling her to go to you and she was definitely wearing that jumper. The knitting patterns made me dizzy,” he added. Remus was quiet, but still positive that Dora wasn’t Smoky. They started to walk again, and made it past Cyclops without any trouble. “Do you think we should talk to her?” Matt asked, as Remus was preparing to Disapparate.

Until next week! :)

Hello, everyone. :)
This is just a short entry to inform you that - due to numerous requests - I have created an author account on Fanfiction.net (still as MarauderLover7), and will begin posting my stories there; I'll be making daily updates, starting with Chapter 1 of "White Flags". When that's done, I'll add "Trainee", "Brothers", "Defining Moments", "Monsters Lit By Moonlight" and then "Furry Little Problem" (not necessarily in that order) before moving onto "Innocent".
Please not that HPFF is still my primary account and updates of "Innocent" will continue each week (Sundays). :)
The link to my Fanfiction.net page is in the My Fanfictions panel on the right-hand side of this blog.
That's all for the moment. :)

Hi everyone!
The next chapter of "Innocent" is up for you all to read. Hopefully you enjoy it - there are some interesting developments in this one... :)

Here's a preview:

“I need you to find Matt,” Remus whispered, “and tell him to come back now. He needs to Apparate straight into his bathroom and then stay in his room until Greyback comes to see him. Greyback’ll ask some odd questions and Matt should answer them to the best of his ability. Matt shouldn’t say anything about being away today because Greyback thinks he’s been here.” The werewolf stretched and walked toward the wall. “Tell him it’s urgent,” Remus added, as the Patronus streaked away.

Remus sighed, feeling lonely again and then got up, pushed the curtain back, and went to lie on his bed.

Please, please go home, he thought toward Dora. He thought she would – Auror trainees were supposed to follow instructions – but one only had to look at Sirius and James to know that hadn’t always been true. Dora was no different; she’d shown that she had a strong independent streak and while he admired it at times, it worried him now. Please, he thought.

And now, a message from me: due to an high workload at university at the moment, I'm finding myself unable to keep up with updating twice a week. I will still be updating regularly - on Sundays - but the Wednesday updates will be stopping. I'm really, really sorry about this, but that's the way it's got to be, at least at the moment. :(

Until Sunday,

MarauderLover7.

Hi everyone!
I've remembered to post this this time, to give you the heads up: the next chapter has been published and is awaiting your attention on HPFF. :P Hopefully you'll enjoy it (though I apologise about the cliffhanger ending...)

Here's a preview:

“It’s in a forest?” Tonks whispered, not sure what she’d expected. Remus had never exactly described the camp to her, but she’d imagined buildings, not just snow and trees. It was eerie though, which she had expected; aside from the wind, she and Remus were the only things making any noise, and it was starting to get dark, so everything was shadowy.

“Were you expecting Hogwarts?” Remus muttered, sounding amused, as he limped along beside her.

“No, I- Where do you sleep?” she asked. “Do you have a den or something?”

“You’ll see soon enough,” he said, and she was surprised how quickly he’d changed; back at his cottage, he’d been reasonably relaxed (once she stopped crying, at least) but now his shoulders were stiff and his tone was slightly harder than she was used to.

Enjoy! :D

Hello, everyone!
I completely forgot to post an entry last night, telling you the next chapter's up! (It is, and I'm sorry for forgetting to remind you! :S)

Here's a preview:

Despite that, Moony was the first to cause any harm; his teeth grazed the beta’s leg and she yelped. It’ didn’t deter her for long, though; she caught his tail and then his back leg in quick succession.

After that, it was all a blur of teeth and blood and snarling, though it was obvious to Moony that he was losing. Moony had more experience being a wolf, but he’d never fought to kill. The beta had, and had probably learned to fight from the alpha.

After a few painful – but not overly effective – bites, the beta managed to get her teeth around Moony’s already-injured foreleg. He crumpled. The beta moved to stand over him.

The pup was busy with the beta’s three pups, and the elder had submitted to the pups she was facing. No one was coming to help him.

The beta’s stained, red muzzle and gleaming teeth moved into Moony’s line of sight and then everything was black.

Sorry again for the delayed blog entry!

Enjoy the chapter!

Hi, everyone! :D
Happy Wednesday. :) Here's hoping you've had a good week so far. If you haven't, hopefully this makes it better. :D

Here's a preview of the new chapter:

“We will. Thanks, Mum,” Keith said. Roberta disappeared into the kitchen, where Tonks could hear others talking.

“Should I go and say hello?” she asked.

“It’s just Lou, Bec and my mum,” Alfred said, flapping a hand. “You can see them at lunch.” He turned to Keith. 

“Would you like to finish the game?” Keith took a not-so-subtle look at Tonks and shook his head.

“What game?” she asked.

“We were playing chess,” Keith said.

“I was playing chess,” Alfred corrected. “You were trying to sabotage yourself so you could go get Nymphadora-”

“You can finish if you’d like,” she said, grinning at them both. “I don’t mind.”

“You’ll be bored,” Keith said.

Anyway, enjoy and I'll be back with another update on Sunday. :)

Hi everyone. :)
The next chapter's up for you to have a look at, and I'd like to say an enormous thank you to everyone who's reviewed so far; this is such an enormous project and hearing your feedback makes it entirely worth it and keeps me motivated. So thank you. :)

Here's a preview:

So Malfoy’s made a mistake... Pretty big mistake to make, though... Maybe the letter wasn’t meant for me... Although it’s addressed to me. He frowned thoughtfully. But there wasn’t an address on the envelope, just my name... which means I was definitely supposed to get it...

But he should also know that I’m away... and in this, it doesn’t sound like he does... Dora was supposed to have told him, but perhaps she hadn’t... That wouldn’t explain the letter, but it would be a start. He stood and Greentooth’s head immediately snapped up. 

“Where are you going?” she asked.

“Out,” Remus said, catching Greyback’s eye; he was lounging in his throne. He, too, had looked over as soon as Remus stood and was watching with a frown.

Enjoy!

Hi everyone! :D
I hope you enjoyed the Easter weekend. :)

Here's a preview of the next chapter:

The door opened into a large hall. Four long tables with benches – like those in the Great Hall at Hogwarts, only these had people of all ages sitting in them and not just students – took up most of the floor, but the middle two benches had been shortened to make room for an enormous, throne-like chair. In that chair sat Greyback, whose head snapped up as Remus walked in.

“Remus,” he said, baring his teeth in a very poor imitation of a smile. “I’ve been expecting you for hours now.”

“Sorry to keep you waiting, Fenrir,” Remus said. Some of the people at the tables started whispering; most of them called Greyback ‘sir’ or ‘father’. Fenrir probably seemed disrespectful compared to that. Remus was glad; he didn’t want anyone mistaking it for familiarity instead of simple rudeness. “My departure wasn’t expected so I had a few things that needed to be sorted out first, as you can doubtless appreciate.”

“Of course,” Greyback said. “I’m nothing if not understanding.”

“

Of course,” Remus said, arching an eyebrow. He opened his mouth to ask where Matt was – he couldn’t see him amongst the people at the tables – and then thought better of asking in front of an audience.

“Your room’s ready for you, just so you know,” Greyback continued, sweeping a hand over to the left side of the room. 

Let me know what you think! :D
