Author's Note:
I'm sorry to inform you that I can no longer continue with this story. I had been having issues with the plot even before HBP was published, but now that it has been released, the revelations it contains have made this story so AU, that it isn't even interesting anymore for me to write my fanfiction version of events. Nearly every detail I had written or planned to write for this story has been made irrelevant or impossible. I apologise to my readers who have stuck with me so far, and offer my thanks for all your kind comments and reviews. Hopefully, I will be back with a different HP yarn with which to amuse you.
