A/N: I am so sorry, I took so long to update, but I had no choice. My college has started in full swing. The little time I have at the end of the day is take up by my studies. It is very difficult mind you. And if that's not enough I have been told by a few of my class mates from school to help them make an unofficial website of my school. AS it is a very sensitive issue, I hope all of you understand it, I am obliged to help them. So my weekends are taken up by long conferences online on Yahoo! Messenger discussing several ideas for the site. And the microscopic free time that I managed to get in the weekends where I thought I would be able to write a bit more was taken up by another asty project.

World Cyber Games, National Prelims. It is scheduled in early August. So I am getting dizzy playing FIFA'04 in World Class mode. Still I haven't got the hang of it. Hell, should've picked HalfLife or Unreal Tournament. That has saturated my entire time. Please bear with me for a few more days and I will have the next chapter running soon.

Another problem is that I wanted to write Angst, in this chapter. So, that's what is taking up my time even more. Whatever I write I am reading it over and over again. I admit though I love to read angst, I stink writing it. But I can tell you the upcoming chapter is R-Rated for severe violence and very very strong language. So if any minors out there, do not read this chapter. I repeat it would do well if you don't read this chapter.

Also, I have been thinking about the story during my nocturnal hours. I have more or less outlined the final chapters form. I have framed the skeleton of the story. All I need now is to link the middle chapters to the ultimate chapters. And about the middle chapters, well as much I agree with my reviewers to keep Harry dark, I am running out of ideas and excuses to keep him dark. I would absolutely love if some of you geniouses mail me a few ideas of your own, (if you don't mind of course and as long as I don't infringe upon the copyright of your brain's creativity). That way I will continue having a dark Harry and the plot will deepen even more.

Don't worry, I will be updating soon, very soon. Check the story around July 31st GMT 5.00 AM. I am sure by that time I will be able to update the story. If I 'm not then I give you permission to sue me.

Oh, yes, one more thing, those guys who are thinking that Mark Evans is the nest HBP, or are using him in their story, well JKR has stated in her site last week that he is just a stray character. She just picked up the name Evans, as it is a common British name. That's the only reason. Sorry to dissapoint you guys who are so keen to believe Mark Evans,as the hyped character. Believe me, I'm just about as much surprised as anyone else. JKR herself admitted that unlike her normal pattern where a stray character in the earlier books become highly significant later(remember Sirius Black in Sorcerer's Stone), Mark Evans is just a nobody. So, most of you'll agree with me now, that it leaves only one possibility of the identity of HBP. Any guesses who that is...........

Remember Cos, (JKR hinted that there is going to be lot of similarity between Cos and HBP) where Dobby says that he says Lord Voldemort was not the one who attacked Ginny but Tom Riddle. He says that before Riddle becomes Voldemort he could be called by any other name. That's why he said no when Harry asked him earlier. Well, I think JKR told us the identity right then. Because in her Website she says,"...the HBP is neither Harry or Voldemort. That's all I'm saying on that subject right now..."

Notice she says Voldemort, AND NOT Riddle. She also has said earlier that "...something very subtle in COS will be very big in HBP...". She also says that some information originally planned to be put on CoS was excluded and was planned to be put on HBP. Recall that it is only in CoS that Harry learns that like himself Riddle is also a half blood. I think she might have included the fact that he was the HBP, as well. Although it is a loose connection but hey, JKR always turns the world around in the end of the story right. Well guys I think I might just have cracked the connection between the two books. If you disagree with me or want to comment on it please free to e-mail me at:

Last but not least a big Thank You to all the reviewers. God knows how I would have fared if I didn't have your affection and encouragement. Keep your fingers crossed till 31st.

Chaotic-Lord: I hope you are not too dissappointed. But the upcoming cdhapter will be loade with angst, that's one reason why it's taking so long.

gaul1: ya, ya you are on the right track. Keep guessing until the next chappie.

Conz: I thought about your advice for a long time and I decided to have another long thought about it. So I guess you'll have to wait for the time being.

Heaven's Reaper: That's one of the magic of friendship mate. True friends suffer when one of them leaves them forever, no matter how evil they are(Unless they really piss them off for some unknown reason). That's the reason why they were mourning the "Death" of Harry.

creative reader: Thankx, you are one of the few who have give me thumbs up for this chapter. As far as your question is concerned, well you'll just have to wait.

AutumnKate: Thankx for the review. Glad you liked it. Ya, I guess I like to keep people waiting.

hhhhh: Wow, that was intense, the longest review I had ever had. You really blew a bulb in my brain. Ya, I treally love your idea of a evil Harry. I love that too, but I am currently running out of ideas about wanting to keep Harry dark. Because you must admit that Harry loved Cho. I know she has been a bitch, but no matter what he still has feelings for her. Also you must understand that those guys were his friends. And Harry didn't do anything directly that harmed the Weasleys. So, he still has feelings for them. I know it will sound strange but that's the funny way friendship works. AS for the prophecy, well they co-existed in the past, didn't they? So why not co-exist peacefully now as well? Any ways you must know Voldemort must die in the end. I also fully agree that Volemort is better than Harry in the sense that he doesn't hide his true colours. And good ID, Penta H. Do you by any chance watch WWE?

Charisma: Really, you are on the edge, then. Well watch out for the next chapter then.

Clutchy: Thankx for the review man.

HoshiHikari4ever: I personally would love to keep Harry dark, but I am currently running out of ideas. So please help me by mailing me some ideas by which I can still keep him dark. He will probably turn good in the end, that's my plan, at least.

Billifid: Thankx for the words of encouragement. What you said is also probably correct, I am really amused that people like the story and still don't update it. They must be even shier than an eleven year old Ginny. I mean really I won't bite. About updates, well I'm so sorry but college has started and so I am XXXXXtremely busy. You will have to cope up with it I'm afraid.

Cool8949596: Thankx for the review and the compliment. About the connection, well 'HP'. Does that ring a bell? No, its not Hewlett-Packard if you are guessing that.

Snuffles95141: Thankx for the review dude. I hope I will be able to update soon.

Next Update 31/7/2004 or you can have my head.
