Author's notes: A very important explanation.


Hello, everyone!

First, I would like to apologize to the people who had started to read this story and didn't see any change in it in more than three years. I'm so sorry it took my this long to come back. But you know how it is (from the most annoying to the most important real job, real life, real girlfriend and a baby! I had little time to give to this site. I'll try to make it up to all of you, by posting a full story in one day!

So here is the new version of "Harry Potter and the Seal of Chaos".

This story has just experienced a huge do-over. I should probably explain why. I started to write this in 2004, when neither my English or my skills at writing were that good. I like to think I have improved since then.

But I was on a roll, so not only did I write this story, I went and wrote three sequels, that I posted on another fansite. It became a huge saga. I didn't take the time to look back until recently, and more exactly the release of book seven and film 6.

Anyway, last year, I started to read through this old stuff and I found that it was dreadful! Full of plot holes, continuity problems within the story. And most important, my main romance just didn't make any sense. So I decided to reboot the whole thing.

So what does it entail?

The main idea is the same and the Original Characters I created for the story are the same. I also stuck to the AU line, because if I tried to make the story fit into canon, it just wouldn't work.

But I planned through the story, thinking ahead. I introduced characters that would be important in the sequels right away, so that they won't appear out of thin air, just like that. I added scenes, edited others. You could see this rewrite as a Director's cut, meant to better fit into a complete saga.

So, I hope you will enjoy the story, and that you will be enticed to follow the sequel, that I'm reworking as I type… see ya!
