Author's Note
This is just a short note to explain why this next chapter is so late, and why there won't be another one.
Over the next few weeks I'm going to be deleting all the stories and redoing the two main ones. I've enjoyed writing them a great deal but I changed the original story line quite a bit to put them on fanfiction.net. I didn't have the courage to put up what I had outlined. But now I want to go back and write them in the way that I had intended for them to be. The characters are going to stay the same, and the basic plot (when Harry comes back he will need to find the children, like he did before), but most everything else will change to what it had originally been.
It was the first time that I had ever let someone see something I had written and I was too worried to do it justice but I now I feel comfortable enough to do it right. Very sorry for those of you that have waited this long and will have to wait longer but I want to do this story in the way I had envisioned it to begin with.
Thank you for reading these two stories and while you might not enjoy the changes that are about to come, I appreciate your having given me the confidence to do the changes.
I haven't been able to start on the rewriting quite yet but I do plan on doing it fairly soon. I'll be deleting the stories on the same day I update the new chapter of The Dark Past. Again, I'm very sorry for the delay but I want to do this story right.
