Hey guys! So it's been a couple of weeks since I finished writing this part of the story and the feedback you guys have given me has been great, I am honestly super excited to begin working on Year 2. I do honestly want to say before I begin answering questions, you guys are so amazing, you honestly do make me feel so motivated to write and I'm so glad you've all enjoyed it.

But a couple of things that are important to remember about this story is:

- I started writing it at 14, nearly four years ago, I wasn't completely sure how I wanted the story to go, I just knew that I shipped Harry and Hermione and really like time travel fics, which is why some chapters may not make a lot of sense

- Only recently was I referring to previous chapters when writing new ones, which is why sometimes there are some continuity errors (for example, Harry and the Weasley's being the only ones at Hogwarts for Christmas, but then in the next chapter, Neville, Seamus and Dean are there). I do plan on going back and changing these.

So basically I'm just writing this to clarify a few things and answer questions that you guys have either left as comments or personally messaged me.

1) Why don't Harry and Hermione end up together at the end of the story?

Well, they're kids. I know obviously they are 'technically' adults, but with the trauma Hermione has experienced and the fact that they are in the bodies of 12-year-olds, it just wasn't something I wanted to include yet. I most likely will change the description to reflect that and in after a couple more years have been written I'll probably end up putting them together.

2) Why isn't Dumbledore gay?

Mainly because when I wrote that I didn't actually know that he was. Though I was, and still am a Harry Potter fan, I hadn't actually paid much attention to details Rowling added after the books until this past year. I do want to change the relationship between Dumbledore and Molly. When I wrote their relationship I don't think I realised just how gross it is haha, so I'll definitely rewrite that at some point. I'll probably also do the same for Ron and Ginny.

3) Why doesn't Harry trust Fred and George?

Mainly just because they're Weasleys. Considering the fact that he loved the Weasley Clan as his own family for so long and then discovered they turned on him, it isn't so unsurprising that he doesn't completely trust them from day one. However, just like Hermione is with Lavender, Harry could attempt to build some sort of relationship with them. In this story, Fred and George had nothing to do with what happened in the previous timeline.

4) Why does Harry have a load of titles given to him early on when he doesn't use them?

This is just bad writing honestly. If he'd used them to help Sirius maybe that could have been a good excuse but honestly it was just 14-year-old me looking at stuff other people were writing and wanting to use them too. I've decided to make sure he gets to use them at some point in the next couple of years but honestly, it is just to show that I am not that great of a writer haha

5) Why is Sirius Head of House Lestrange when he has no connection to it?

Ha... ahahaha... see the above answer again except this time it's just me a few weeks ago rather than at 14

I'll fix it! I promise!

6) How is it that Ron, basically an imbecile, can make potions such as 'Wide-Eye' and 'Flushing' when he's barely passing First-Year?

I don't think I clarified enough in that chapter, but he didn't. He got them from Dumbledore (and probably Snape too) and was able to get close enough to Hermione to slip them to her at some point in the day. Dumbledore was also the one to actually get the troll into Hogwarts. It was just Ron's idea that was so stupid and violent that it could actually work to get rid of Hermione so Dumbledore basically did all the hard work

7) Why is Ron so helplessly stupid? Will Arthur be saved from the potion? Is Voldemort going to be able to come back now that Pettigrew is incapacitated? Will Sirius' titles actually be useful, unlike Harry's so far?

Will not be answering these questions for one very very simple reason:

8)Why do Harry and Hermione act ridiculously at times? Writing things down in a book for example a few chapters in when someone could easily read it or winging a hell of a lot of their plans?

I tried to explain this very basically a few chapters ago. Essentially the slight conflict between them as adults and them as children leads to them often times making rash and ridiculous decisions. I'm planning on building upon this idea quite a bit in future, but I didn't want it to affect them too much in their first year.

9)Why is Harry on good terms with McGonagall when she practically never helped them during the course of the original books?

They developed a good relationship during his time after the Weasley attack. Again, this was a premise I wrote without much thought and I'm having to work around it now, but I don't believe it was the worst possible choice. McGonagall is essentially useful. An excuse to leave Hogwarts, a good support for when Harry or Hermione ask for something to be done, and after hearing about the damage Dumbledore caused them she would hopefully try and be a more active advocate for the two children. She is not aware of Ronald or Ginevra's parts in any of the plots, mainly because they're now kids and I doubt it would be easy to set her against children.

10) What's going on with Draco?

As you all can probably tell, he's not exactly been the most active of characters. For now I'd appreciate if you all assumed his bullying has decreased to teasing Neville and arguing with Ron which can be seen in a couple of chapters. His and Harry's relationship? Well they aren't open enemies and they aren't friends either. I expect their relationship to remain pretty neutral, pretty much like most classroom relationships are. They'll probably butt heads a few times, but not to the extent that their enmity was in the orginal franchise.

Ok, so these were the main questions that I was asked repeatedly so I thought it was quite important to answer them if you guys have any more feel free to ask and I'll answer them as soon as possible :)

Once again, thank you guys so much for your support, you are all absolutely incredible.

Next up: Year 2!
