Author's Note Concerning OotP [July 11th, 2003]:

Well, I've made some changes in this story so that it ties in with the recent installment of Harry Potter. It all fits in perfectly, but so that I won't anger some of you who've read this before, I'll state all that I am changing.

The prologue of this story was put up on January 10th, 2003, which was before OotP's release date was told to the public. However, to remain as loyal as I can to the books, I am changing a tad bit in this story. To know all of the changes, look below. If not, just skip ahead and hopefully you enjoy the story because all changes have been made in the text.

- The enchantments on the information that Hermione now holds. It used to be twelve hours until it disappeared from the parchment. However for Chapter 2 purposes, it is being changed to until someone reads it.

- Here's one that needed to be explained: St. Mungo's. The St. Mungo's patients in OotP are in wards with each other. But with Hermione's illness, she can be dangerous with others if kept with others too long. So she is in a secure ward. This is explanation is also edited in Chapter One.

- Harry's job. Oh boy, my idea of an Unspeakable has changed. Along with that, what Harry is expected to do has been changed too. So in order to keep him a spy, I had to change the title of his job. His profession is now a Coverty agent. They are basically a less-known spy acadamy who tack down bad wizards. It will be explained perfectly in Chapter Three, which I am currently writing the rough draft for.

- Christmas. Somebody smack me. I forgot all about Christmas in the last part of chapter one. So when I go back through to change some things, I'm adding some Christmas extras.

-Sirius. Poor Sirius, he was going to have a happy life in my story, but I guess I am going to have to change some things. Like when Harry was explaining about Sirius in chapter one is going to be Harry explaining about Luna. But Sirius will have a very special place both in my story and in my heart though he's dead.

-Eric. Who's Eric you ask? Ginny and Draco's son. Yes, they now have a son. It works along the Ally kidnapping plot. More on him will be explain in chapter three.

Well, I hope that's it. Chapter two: "The End of the Insanity Rope" will be posted on Wednesday.
