Author's Note (will be removed some time after the entire story is finished)
What would I give to have seen you faces! Anything, believe me! You must have looked just great when you read my cliff-hanger!
But, I'm astonished, you all seem to be so perfectly sure that Remus is alive, tell me why?
Maybe good old Sirius is having some sort of hallucination?
Maybe it is Remus but he is dead?
Maybe it is Remus but he will die anyway?
But that's not why I publish the author's note.
The following chapter Nr. 20 (The Prisoner) might confuse you a little. So please read this:
When I first wrote the story, I had it in a different order.
After Remus and Sirius had had their fight in chapter seven, I stayed with Remus and explained what happened to him that night.
But then I published the first chapters of the story, received so many reviews and thought that it would be no fun at all if I let you know the entire truth right from the start (evil little FairyTale inside my head told me not to do so).
So when it came to chapter 7, I thought I just let some parts out and increase the tension a little. I've kept you all in the dark, knowing that you were all sad and crying and longed for the day until I would be able to publish chapter 19 and 20.
Chapter 20 basically covers the time between the fight and Sirius' discovery. I hope I have made it obvious that its content takes place on different days, I've tried to do so by making paragraphs and mentioning what is going on in the outside world.
If you still are confused when something in this chapter takes place, feel free to mail and ask.
The end is near, there will be only four chapters more and one of them is the epilogue. So, stay tuned, it will be over before the week is…
