Hello, everyone!
Firstly, I would like to say an enormous thank you to everyone; I can't believe how positively the first chapter of Initiate has been received, and how lovely your comments at the end of Innocent were. :) I've started to answer some of them, but haven't got around to them all just yet. :)
The next update for Initiate is up a bit early (updates are still due on Sundays), but it's a reasonably short chapter - sorry!
Here's the preview:
“No warts,” Harry agreed, rubbing mud off his shorts.
“No toad,” Hermione said nervously.
“Nope,” Harry said. “Very muggle-ish.” She’d actually done well, he thought. Zabini’d carried herself like a pureblood – haughtily – so he doubted she spent much time in the muggle world, but she’d certainly looked the part.
“Pardon?” Hermione asked, eyes huge. Harry realised his mistake too late.
Enjoy!

Hello, everyone!
Several announcements today...
Firstly, "Innocent" is finished! I've just posted the final chapter! :D
Here's the preview:
The man folded the newspaper – the headline read Flying In Circles? and on the front was a moving photograph of a large, spiny dragon being caught in an even larger net over the British Channel – and set it down on the table.
“He was worth keeping alive if only for that,” he mused, looking at the stocky redheaded man from the forest; he was on a broom in the photograph, flying rather well. “Got a dragon off our tail if nothing else.”
Indeed, replied the other, but he seemed distracted; his thoughts were - as they had been since the forest – looping through the same series of images:
The stone, the castle and the boy.
And, secondly, because I had a bit of extra time this week, I was able to also finish the first chapter of the sequel, "Initiate". :) So, if you're interested, you can launch right into that! :D
Here's that preview:
Updates will continue for Initiate, on Sundays, as usual. :)

Here's that preview:
“Wand, Harry,” he said;
the item in question was protruding from the pocket of Harry’s school shorts.
“Oops,” Harry said,
spinning around. “Sorry.” He squeezed past Dora and then Sirius, dropped his
wand on the kitchen table. His lunchbox, which he’d forgotten, was pressed into
his hands by Kreacher. “Thanks! Bye, Kreacher,” he called, letting Sirius usher
him upstairs, down the hallway, and out the door. Sirius took a moment longer,
to retrieve his bike from the indoor shed he and Harry had replaced his
father’s old office with, back in early January, and wheeled it out into the
warm, June sun.
Dora yawned and bid them
both goodbye before she promptly vanished, and Sirius carefully maneuvered his
bike down the front steps to where Harry was waiting impatiently, spelling out
words under his breath.
Updates will continue for Initiate, on Sundays, as usual. :)

Hello, everyone!
The next chapter's up, for those of you who are interested. :)
Here's the preview:
Marlene made a furious noise from somewhere on his left, and there was a clatter as a wand fell. Sirius rolled onto his side in time to see the man release Marlene. She fell to the floor, limp and unmoving, and Sirius crawled to her side, ignoring the man for the moment. He, Sirius realised detachedly, didn’t seem to mind; he just watched from beneath his hood as Sirius felt for a pulse and found none.
“No,” he croaked. He held his hand above Marlene’s nose, hoping to feel a whisper of breath, but none came. He shook his head, trying to keep it together. His eyes were stinging.
“Last man standing,” the Serpent Sworn man said softly, from above him. Sirius understood the implications; the Aurors and the trainees – Dora, Mad-Eye, Robards, Scrimgeour, all of them – were all either dead, or captured. He refused to think about that in any more depth. Not now.
“No,” Sirius said. He reached for Marlene’s hand, and hoped that the movement distracted the man from Sirius’ other hand, which had just curled around his wand.
... Not looking good, is it? :/
But no cliffies this week, haha; it's resolved now.
Until next week!
