Hello!
First of all, thank you to Aurinia and Angel of the North who were kind enough to point out some mistakes and flaws in the story. Your corrections have been made and the relevant parts re-posted. Your help has been invaluable.
A special thank you to those who perservered with this story and took the time to leave reviews. Thank you for taking the story for what it is and not drawing too many comparisons to TPD. I was afraid a sequel to TPD would not appeal to the wider SS/Hr fan fic audience for various reasons and I think I've been proved correct. However, I could not imagine the sequel any other way and I had to write what was 'there'. I'm glad some of you enjoyed it. Thanks for your encouragement, it's meant a great deal to me.
Snape has taken to invading my dreams at night (for the first time) so I think even though I've been ignoring him for awhile he may insist on some Addendums to the sequel and probably won't go away until they're done. Need I point out that Snape is the most demanding slave-driver of a muse I have ever had? Why is no-one surprised? Greasy bastard.
Anyway, if I do get round to posting any Addendums all they will contain are scenes that fill in the gaps in both stories. Because I tend to write with a very 'tight' style, there is often a lot of detail superfluous to the plot that I leave out. Also, because I stuck to the TPD 'formula' for the sequel, although there was potential to make the story a lot longer by adding detail - I didn't. This detail may eventually become Addendums which won't add to the plot but will fill in background.
For instance, I'd like to look at the intervening 10 years between TPD and the sequel, Draco and Luna's baby, Lily's future, and other bits and pieces but at this point I have no definite plans.
Once again, thanks for coming along for the ride. Your company has been a pleasure.
