Alright guys, although I hate entire chapters that are just author's notes as much as the next person I have alot to say and I also don't like tricking people into thinking chapters are longer than they are, so here goes.

Thank you guys for the feedback, I'm glad you liked it and thanks for the tips. As I said in the description this was originally just a class assignment that I had no real idea were I was going with. It was simply supposed to be an example of artistic differences so, thanks to one of the readers, I realized that her age was a bit inappropriate. However in changing her age I would have to change certain aspects of the story, so instead I'm changing the back story.

It pains me to do this, since I love J. K. Rowling's original work so much, but Slughorn refused to come teach at Hogwarts when Dumbledore asked him to, so Dumbledore was forced to leave Professor Snape as Potion's Master. He then found the Vampire Hunter Tylikas Viha, who made all students terrified, despite how charming he was and ended up dying for the cause, saving Professor Dumbledore. Hogwarts is still strong, however many parents have pulled their children out of it. This particular year Dumbledore could find no accpetable teacher for the Defense Against the Dark Arts position except for the known Death Eater Dolohov. That combined with the growing number of Aurors also being Death Eaters and pressure from the Ministry makes it difficult for Dumbledore to teach Harry as he did last year. Despite all of this a romance bloomed between Severus and Hermione. And I will ruin no more.

As for the previous chapter I have changed a few things to make it fit the fact that they are know in their seventh year, but overall it remains the same. Any advice? I would greatly appreciate your thoughts.

I have also decided that, because of my abnormally full schedual I will attempt to post a new chapter every Monday. This may change as my schedual begins to empty out in late November, but no promises.

Finally I was suprised and motiated by your guys's responses to my story that I made a suprise for you at art/The-Beginning-of-a-Challenge-328189342?ga_submit=10%3A1348114043 Hope you like that too and . . .
