Hi guys! Sorry this isn't a new chapter. And I know you guys hate it when you see that the story is updated but it turns out to only be an author's note. I hate that too! But I needed to post this. I am currently going back through my chapters and fixing a lot of stuff both grammatically, and story wise. I was writing my fifth chapter and I realized some things weren't coming together, or weren't going to work for what I have planned in the future. I've also had a few new ideas for the story but need to work those out. I expect everything to be done soon, in fact I'm working most of tonight to get as much done as I can. I won't give a date as to when my revised chapters will be out, or my new chapter. But I don't expect it to take more than a week. I know, you didn't want to hear that! Please don't kill me. I working REALLY hard to get this done, and I promise, I won't leave you guys hanging for long. By the way, I have a new group out for you guys so that I can email you when I do update just go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Magics_Apprentice/

Thanks to all my reviewers:

Luna Rose and Phoenix Child: I'm glad you like it! I'll have more out soon, I Promise!

Amulder: Very constructive review! In answer to your questions:\

I'm going on the basis that the Akitians are magic itself; which makes them connected with ALL life. So Harry is able to talk with ALL animals, and with nature because of that connection. In short: Magic is connected strongly with life, Harry has the essence of life in him, he can talk to all nature. The watch: Actually, he can fit up to 12 people. I'll go into more detail like I should have when I do all my revisions. The Rithian Sphere: Good question! You'll find out as the story progresses. Harry's Appearance: You have to understand that we really know next to nothing about Ginny's personality. We have really explored her and paid attention to her for almost three years now. So I'm basing Ginny on how I imagine her to be, and giving her a few of my friends' traits. The way I see Ginny: she'd be curious about his appearance, but she doesn't want to pry into his life. She doesn't feel close enough to him yet to ask him anything personal, or how he changed in appearance so quickly. She's shy, but strong. As to his hair, he can always pull it back. I just have a thing about Harry having long hair. Hehe.

Peridos: Thank you my friend! And don't worry about bringing up the dog breed thing! It was funny!! And I plan on bugging you endlessly to get out your darn fic. LOL

Love always –Forge

Shdurrani: Thank you! And I will

Slayerjenn: Wow! That means a lot! I read a lot of fan fiction, and for someone to say that mine is one of the best is a true compliment considering some of the wonderful fan fiction out there! I'll hurry with the next chapter, I promise!

Temporary Insanity: Yes! It is pure coincidence, and thank you for pointing that out! I needed a good laugh. Voldie will be as strong and as weak as I make him, Draco stole her things of course she's gonna get violent and besides: since when was she really anything? I have to create an entire person's personality on a whim. Will he survive the humiliation? Sure, until I humiliate him some more. MUahahahaha!!!!!

Cateyes: Thank you!

Alamarang: You are one of my favorite fan fic writers, so your compliment means a lot. Update your fic and I'll update mine! (no! just kidding!) I'll update soon, I promise!

And to everyone else, thank you very much! Your compliments, suggestions and questions all mean a lot! So please keep them coming and I'll make sure to keep my chapters coming as soon as possible.
