Hi all! The update is ready! Here's the preview: “So it’s the last place Filch or the Prefects would check,” Harry said. “I’m sure it links up to a staircase or something-” “Clever,” Ron said, grinning. Harry grinned back. Malfoy and Zabini did not. “You’re idiots,” Malfoy hissed. Zabini nodded. All four of them froze. “-nasty streak that no eleven year old should have. Merlin knows it’s messing things up at home; she takes it out on Viv, and then poor Tori has to step in, and that’s changed her too… you should see it, though. Tori’s this tiny little thing, but she’s terrifying when she gets going-” Someone else laughed and said, “Clarice-” “Prefects!” Ron hissed. Enjoy! MarauderLover7.

Hi all! The update is up! :) Here's the preview: “Potter,” Morton said, sounding equally alarmed and curious. Harry lifted the hand that wasn’t supporting his broomstick and gave an awkward wave. Next to Morton, Umbridge swelled and stepped forward. “Mr Potter,” she said. She didn’t look displeased to see him - a sickly smile was in place – and her tone wasn’t nasty, either, but Harry couldn’t shake the idea that she was not happy to see him. “Might I ask what you’re doing here?” Enjoy!

Hi all!
The next chapter's up - it's a touch late this week, because I've been so busy. :( But it's longer than other chapters have been, so hopefully that makes up for it. :)

Here's the preview:

It turned out to be a fun lesson. Harry, without bothering to consult his textbook, used a Wind Charm, and was given ten points; Ventus was a charm they learned later in the year, apparently, and he had the control of a second year. Seamus, in the seat behind Harry, tried to melt his marble. It sort of worked; he did manage to melt the marble, but he also set his desk on fire, and lost five points for doing so.

Harry glanced at his friends; Draco was blowing on his marble, and stopping it before it rolled off the desk, before blowing it the other way, and Ron was shooting sparks out of his wand. Every second or third spark would hit the glass, and push it over a bit. Hermione's face was scrunched up in concentration, and she seemed to have two spindles growing out of her marble.

As they left Charms, and headed for lunch, she told Harry, rather sadly, that she'd been trying to make it grow legs and run, but hadn't quite managed it.

Until Sunday!

Hi, all! :)
Just another short message to let you know that the next chapter of "Initiate" is up. :)

Here's an excerpt:
“Malfoy,” One said, looking puzzled, as Draco fell into step beside them. “I think the question is, are you heading back to the common room?”

“Obviously,” he said, and then watched the stunned glance that went between them.

“Are you feeling quite well?” Two asked, putting a smelly hand on his forehead. Draco batted it away, revolted.

“Looks a bit pale, Fred,” One said.

“He’s always pale, George,” Two replied. “But he doesn’t feel warm.”

“Oh, shut up,” Draco said. 

I'm still trying to find time to answer your lovely reviews: uni's back with a vengeance, and I don't have much spare time at the moment, but when I find an hour or two, I'll try to get around to it. :)

Until next week!

Hi, all!
The next chapter's up. :)

Here's the preview:
Christopher Morton sniffed and wiped his eyes, and then let out a small, gut-wrenching noise. Sirius sat in a chair opposite him, thinking this was probably one of the most horrible things he’d ever had to do.

“I’m so sorry,” Sirius said.

“Why’d they send you?” Morton managed to ask.

“Sending a letter was an option,” Sirius said carefully. “But I thought you’d have some questions, or- letters can leave things out, and you deserve to understand as much as we do at the present time.”

Enjoy!

Hi everyone!
The next chapter's up! :)

Here's the preview:

“Mr Morton, it’s Auror Black,” he called. There was a scuffling noise inside, and then a creak, like a door or window opening. “Morton, open the door.” A thump. Sirius’ irritation became unease. “Morton!”

“Help!”

It was so weak that it was almost a whisper, and Sirius didn’t think he’d have heard it if it wasn’t for his canine hearing.

Happy reading!

Hi, everyone!

The next chapter's up! I'm sorry I haven't been answering reviews for the last few weeks - university's been keeping me too busy to do much else than get the chapters done. :S But I should hopefully be able to get some answers out to you all within the next few weeks. :) I really do appreciate your comments. :)

Here's the preview:

"How do you know about the squid?" Harry asked; last he'd heard, the twins had been content to stare at Moony in awed silence, instead of asking him questions. "And friends? Were there- I mean- Friends? As in, more than one? Who-"

"Friends is the plural of friend, Potter," Draco said, "so yes, I daresay there was more than one." Hermione laughed before she could stop herself. "Why in Merlin's name did these friends of yours have to clean the bathroom? I'm lost."

"They lost me at squid," Harry heard Ron say to Hermione, who nodded. At the same time, the twins seemed to realise Draco was with them.

"Oh, Malfoy," Fred said. "Didn't see you there."

"Well," George amended, "we did see you-"

"-but we didn't recognise you-"

"-with your tie." Draco glanced at the offending item and flushed.

Until next week. :)
