Author's Note
Apologies for the lack of chapter, but I received a review from Oando that confused me. Oando mentioned that it felt as if the chapters were in the wrong order, with a disjointed story of sorts.
I knew that the mysterious plot was a little heavy handed, but I didn't realise it was confusing. Besides of which, Oando mentioned howlers in Chapter One (to which I went '0_o; What howlers in Chapter One?' ^_^).
So I went back and checked - and realised that somehow, in between the chapters being uploaded and Oando's review, the chapters had been re-ordered. Chapter Eight ended up as the Prologue, and so on and so forth down the track.
So Oando - you were right, the chapters are in the wrong order. ^_^ Thank you for pointing this out to me, I would never have realised since I don't re-read chapters on fanfiction.net.
In any case, the chapter order should be fixed just as soon as fanfiction.net's update facilities refresh. If it doesn't, here is the order of chapter titles.
Prologue: Omega
Chapter One: Darkness
Chapter Two: Why I Froze
Chapter Three: The Boy Who Cannot Die
Chapter Four: letters and Curses
Chapter Five: Gits and Mudbloods
Chapter Six: The Boy Who Saved the Day
Chapter Seven: Two Dreams and a Cliche
Chapter Eight: Summer's End
Chapter Nine: So Comes the Rain
Chapter Ten: Platform Nine and Three Quarters
Chapter Eleven: Sumptus Per Redemptio (The Price of Redemption)
Chapter Twelve: Blood and Survival
Chapter Thirteen: The Plural of Pegasus
Chapter Fourteen: Time
My sincere apologies - and thank you once more Oando.
Yours,
Tien Riu
PS - Omega is the last character in the Latin alphabet and is generally used to indicate 'the end'. The Prologue, being labelled 'Omega' is in effect stating that the Prologue happens at the very end of the story. And if that isn't confusing I'm not sure what is. ^_-
