Harry Potter and the Marauder's Legacy!

Chapter 2 Brewing A Storm

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter but I do know several artists that are hairy and make pottery!

AN: THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO REVIEWED! I rewrote chapter 1 for a few reasons; please go back and read it! Nothing changed but a few things where added like a few Death Eater lords and alliances. I realized that I completely missed part of the outline I had set out for that chapter! Also sorry about the wait for this chapter. Life got in the way and I didn't like it and rewrote till I felt that I at least got it to some of my specification. I'm going to try to update at least once every 2 weeks starting in middle January.

The normally stoic Andromeda actually laughed a little when she came downstairs in the kitchen as she saw her 17 year old daughter dressed in a blue nightgown and her hair in bright pink spikes that to an outsider would say was the only thing that would make her different in looks then the looks of Andromeda herself but you could still see a bit of Ted in her like her ears and nose. Her daughter though was pointing her wand at a haggard Sirius who had his hands up in surrender in a far corner with smashed plates and cups surrounding him while her husband obviously had been stupefied and caught in the crossfire before he could do anything and there was a bit of spell damage on the surrounding walls. Andromeda saw her daughter about to stupefy Sirius and before more damage that admittingly could be rectified in a minute with magic she yelled "STOP" causing her daughter to yelp and drop her wand in surprise while Sirius looked a little embarrassed at his current predicament. Nymphadora recovered quickly though and picked up her wand and pointed it back at Sirius but was looking at her mother in confusion, but before she could protest Andromeda couldn't help but make a crack. "Azkaban made you a little rusty to be caught by a seventeen year old Siri!" Sirius's cheeks reddened at that before he shrugged and said "no wand, remember."

Nymphadora was truly lost at this situation and yelled back "what the bloody hell is going on here?" Only to be immediately slapped in the back of the head by her mother with a "language." Causing Nymphadora to rub the back of her head and put her wand down. Though she recovered quickly and looked between her mother and Sirius as the world had gone mad. Sighing with a hand on her head and looking down, Andromeda brought her head back up and pointing at Sirius who was watching this with an amused eye. Saying a fact based no nonsense tone she said "Your uncle here is innocent and came here to prove his case that he received no trial. Veritaserum proved this. He brought an injured Harry Potter here as well who is currently upstairs resting."

Nymphadora blinked then blinked again before asking "Harry Potter is here?" This caused her mother to sigh and Sirius to grumble in agitation at being overlooked which caused Andromeda to smile a little. Nodding once in her daughter's direction she continued "yes Harry Potter is here now Rennervate your father and keep Sirius company so he doesn't do anything else stupid." She got an indigent yell of "hey" from Sirius and a chuckle from her daughter. She turned to leave but looked at Sirius and said "I got to get Dumbledore here, he'll listen and would want to know what is going on with you and Harry." He nodded at her before she turned to floo call her ex-headmaster.

Albus Dumbledore was in a nutshell freaking the hell out. He only got back 15 minutes earlier and he soon discovered all but one of his machines monitoring young Harry Potter stopped working. The only one that was working was telling him that Harry Potter was alive. That was the only good news. He just got off a floo call with his friend and squib Arabella Figg but she didn't see anything amiss but he left instructions to continue to observe Number 4 Privet Drive until told otherwise, and was about to floo call her again so he could get through her floo to Little Winging, Surrey where the Dursley's lived when his floo lit up in his fireplace indicating a call. Hoping this wasn't going to be something that could wait he flicked his wand letting the floo call through.

He was thoroughly surprised to see the face of Andromeda Tonks in his fireplace as she rarely outside of Wizengamot business called him. Keeping an open mind he kindly as he could to hide his stress at the unknown status of Harry. He stated "Ah, Andromeda it's nice of you to call but if it's not important could… Though he was interrupted by Andromeda when she said in a flat tone. "Yeah I know why you're busy, Harry Potter is here and he's safe." The first part was almost surprise at that Andromeda supposedly knew why he was busy, but it quickly went into full surprise when she said Harry Potter his missing ward was at her home, then he sighed in relief a bit when it registered that Harry was safe as he slumped a bit in his armchair. With his throat dry he tried to ask but was still surprised "What… how…"

Andromeda had her eyebrows raised in mild amusement as it wasn't every day you astounded Albus Dumbledore and then to do it too make him surprised and speechless was another, but she wanted to get the ball moving again. "There is a lot you need to know, but know that Sirius brought him here." Albus almost fainted at that but quickly straightened out and became series in instant and in Headmaster Dumbledore's place was the Chief Warlock of the Wizemgamot. Sighing again for what seemed like that thousandth time that day Andromeda said "I'll let you through." Dumbledore nodded once before grabbing some Veritaserum and its antidote from a drawer in his desk and stepping into the glowing green flames and into the Tonks' residents. He followed a stoic Andromeda that was filling him in on what she said happened as she guided him through their living room and into a hallway that led to a kitchen where they found Sirius regaling Ted and Nymphadora, who were opposite of him at the table, with his tales of the pranks he and his fellow Marauder's pulled at Hogwarts.

"So Remus was walking around with a dress and took him to walk into Charms class till he figured it out when everyone inside fell out of their seats laughing. Professor Flitwick couldn't keep from laughing at him for a whole week." Ted was laughing jollily while Nymphadora was pounding her fist on the table with tears in her eyes. "Then there was the time James put…" but they were interrupted by a cough from Andromeda who had an eyebrow raised and a series Albus Dumbledore with his wand raised at Sirius. Once again Sirius had his hands up but couldn't stop himself from being cheeky and said "hey Albus!"

Dumbledore could feel a migraine coming but went over to Sirius and showed him the bottle he fished out from his midnight blue robes that he hadn't had the chance to change out of yet. Sighing with his hands still up, Sirius opened his mouth as Dumbledore quickly put the three drops of the world's strongest truth potion known as Veritaserum that again Sirius had to drink. Sirius in an instant went into a trance so Dumbledore asked "What is your name?

"Sirius Orion Black III"

"Where you the Secret Keeper of the Potter's"

Sirius answered in the loud but clear monotone voice "No."

"Who was" Dumbledore continued.

"Peter Pettigrew"

Dumbledore's mind raced with this but couldn't come up with a how as Peter was a good prankster but average at best at magic. How could he escape the Aurors and the ministry officials that found Sirius laughing at the scene? So he decided to ask.

"How did Peter escape?

"When I confronted him he yelled that I betrayed the Potters and then with his wand behind his back blew up a gas line in the street. He cut off his finger before he turned into a rat and escaped into the sewer."

This revelation shocked Dumbledore. Peter was an unregistered animagus. Then a thought struck him.

"So Peter Pettigrew was a unregistered rat animagus?"

"Yes."

"Who else is an unregistered animagus do you know of?"

Sirius answered surprised Dumbledore and the Tonks Family.

"Myself, and Lily and James Potter."

"What is your animagus form" Dumbledore asked after he came out of his shock.

"A dog that looks like a grim." Dumbledore actually cracked a smile at that, while Ted and Nymphadora still looked shocked at the last revelation, while Andromeda shook her head at that but said very quietly that only Ted standing next to her actually heard "of course that would be his form" as if just knowing what kinds of pranks he pulled looking like a grim.

"What where James and Lily's animagus forms?"

"A stag and doe respectively" Sirius answered.

Dumbledore nodded before continuing with his line of questioning.

"Why where you laughing when the ministry workers and Aurors found you?"

"My loss, and shock and absurdity of it all overwhelmed me."

Dumbledore nodded at that as a theory was just proven while the Tonks family looked a little somber as the Potters where great friends and reflected a little at the loss.

Dumbledore however continued.

"Was your dog animagus form how you escaped Azkaban?"

"Yes"

"How did your dog animagus form help you escape?"

"A Dementors effect doesn't bother the animal mind nearly as much as it does a human. So after a while my form was thin enough to slip through the bars and the Dementors didn't try to stop a dog and I walked around avoiding Auror patrols till I found a way outside and then jumped into the sea and swam to land."

Andromeda shuddered at that part while Nymphadora and Ted looked pale. They noticed he was too thin but damn. Even Dumbledore looked a little green but pulled himself together to continue.

"Where you given a trial?"

"No."

"Where did you go after the Aurors stunned you after Peter's escape?"

"I don't know but I woke up in Azkaban."

Dumbledore nodded before giving the antidote and Sirius came too, but quickly saw that Dumbledore was smiling. His answers set him free again, now just to get a third time at the Wizemgamot and he could be free. They did say third times the charm he remembered Lily saying the muggle quote once. Dumbledore with his eyes now twinkling and his grandfatherly smile on pulled his wand to his head and pulled at a silvery substance into a small bottle that he always carried a few of in case of just such events and put a cork stopper on it. After completing that motion he kindly called "Renny."

Then with a pop a young female house elf wearing a little white tea towel with the Hogwarts Crest on the left shoulder appeared. The elf was small and had bat like ears but had kindness reflected in her tennis ball sized eyes. "What can Renny do headmaster, sir?" Still smiling Dumbledore explained that he wanted the house elf to give the glass vile to the Head of Department of Magical Law Enforcement, or DMLE, Amelia Bones via one of the school's better barn owls. Renny nodded eagerly and left with a "yes, headmaster, sir" and then what sounded like a bang. The elf was gone. Turning to his audience Dumbledore's twinkling eyes scanned the Tonkses and Sirius before becoming a bit somber he turned to Sirius. "I'm sorry old friend but appears I could…" Dumbledore started before Sirius held up his hands before replying "it's okay Albus, you're getting me a trial now and that all that matters." Albus nodded his eyes going back to full twinkle before he decided to ask some questions about Harry. Sirius started by how he found Harry but was interrupted after he and Andromeda starting explaining the abuse they noticed.

The interruption was one Albus Dumbledore who went into full magic power release on the whole house, not knowing that he just woke up the one they were talking about with that, "The Dursley's did what?"

"They obviously abused the poor boy. He almost died Albus" Andromeda explained to the shock of Albus Dumbledore and Nymphadora who didn't know that much. Ted and Sirius looked angry while the latter was also growling and the former was grinding his teeth. Albus was shocked still before depression was showing on his face. He should have listened to Minerva when she told him he shouldn't leave Harry with those horrible people but he didn't. He thought that Petunia would surely love the child of her murdered sister like her own. This did not seem to be the case and the first words out of Andromeda's mouth before he got angry a second ago only showed what happened recently not longer. It could be worse and that last thought made Albus sick. With a weary sigh and not looking at anyone he spoke softly. "I should have listened to Minerva and followed the will. I should have never placed him with the Dursleys."

Sirius who wasn't happy now being reminded of what his godson went through was now remembering he was supposed to be pissed at Dumbledore for putting his godson with those god awful people. "Why'd you do it Albus?" The words where shot out calmly but with an icy form of zeal. Albus Dumbledore sighed again before speaking. "I was worried. I promised Lily and James that I'd protect Harry if anything happened to them. When you went to prison I got a bit worried. If you were compromised, who else was?" Albus's voice sounded apologetically but it didn't stop Sirius from flinching. "Like I said I thought you received a trial as the Ministry wanted your case done quietly as it was the most high profile and like. I was told you where found guilty. If I even knew that you didn't receive a trial I would never have put Harry there but with someone on the will. It also occurred to me that notable death eaters where claiming "Imperiused". Though I have no doubt many of them weren't it occurred to me that with them free they could "imperius" anyone of Harry's caregivers to "hand him over" or kill more people to get to Harry.

I didn't want to take the chance. The Longbottom attacks just cemented this fact to me. Also between the many dangers; I also wanted him to grow up in a loving home away from the fame so he could have a normal loving childhood. So I choose Petunia and set up blood wards around the house as she is Lily's blood sister. It would have kept anyone from reaching the house that meant Harry harm within two miles. None of that mattered though as Harry's abuse was my fault" Albus finished with watery eyes. He truly had failed in his promise. Sirius was about to say something when they heard a loud thud from upstairs and then a cry of pain. Andromeda beat them all out the door.

Upstairs 3 minutes before!

Harry Potter woke up with a groaning start. He just felt a huge blasting feeling of "that freaky stuff" as his uncle Vernon called when he did something "not normal" and flinched at that. Before looking around in freight waiting for his uncle to come in to try to make him normal. He noticed he was in a sea blue room that had a homey feel and not the 'perfect' or 'forced' feel to it that his aunt and uncle's house had. He then remembered that he ran away and was walking in the park by his aunt and uncle's house when the pain he was in got worse and he blacked out. He had just enough to think that before the pain hit his body. It wasn't as bad as it was last night but it hurt more continuously all over his body. It felt like the bones in his body where stretching.

In unknown place and in pain Harry panicked and tried to get up out of bed and did but lost his balance and fell on the floor. It took Harry all but a second till the pain intensified and he screamed. His eyes clouded with tears and within moments he saw figures the first one obviously a women and she picked him up but Harry fought back and screamed again only to be hugged by the women and he stopped but didn't stop shaking. He was never hugged before, ever. He saw other parents do that to their kids but never him. The pain was still there, but he felt a warmth from the women he was unable to identify and he felt her rubbing his back which he liked. She kept rubbing his back for a few moments before she stopped. He opened his eyes to see a regal looking women with a natural beauty and long black hair. She smiled before Harry's eyes felt heavy again and he went back to sleep in her arms, still shaking a little bit.

Andromeda sighed as he did. Before picking him up and putting him back into bed and looking over him with her wand and summoning a potion from the house. It was a Dreamless Sleep potion but she only gave a quarter to Harry. She honestly wasn't expecting him to wake up with the first batch of the potion she gave him. It's a typical thing to do when you give children under 10 Skele-grow as children have more bones then adults and are less accustomed to pain. His fall only made the pain worse but thankfully didn't do anything more than put another bruise on his chest. A swish of her wand and that was gone. After she was done she turned to look at those behind her. Nymphadora looked startled, Ted looked angry, and Sirius looked to be on the verge of murder. Albus though looked ashamed. No words needed to be spoken before they all went out into the hallway. After a discussion Albus said he'd wait for young Harry to awake and explain a few things. While Andromeda would take care of Sirius in another room and talk more with him and Ted while Nymphadora would finish her breakfast. It was shaping up to be an interesting day.

It wasn't until six hours later that Harry woke up and groggily looked around till he spotted a weirdly dressed robed man with a long flowing white beard, half mooned spectacles, and twinkling blue eyes. Harry was surprised he didn't catch his slip "Santa Clause." This caused Albus Dumbledore's eyes to go full twinkle before bellowing in laughter. It took a moment to regain himself as Harry was blushing in embarrassment as Dumbledore simply said "No Mr. Potter I'm not though I've been mistaken by muggleborn children before in that regard" Harry being the ever thirst for knowledge and inquisitress child when not at Durzaban got a curious gleam in his eye that reminded Albus of Lily. "What's a muggleborn Mr… Mr…?" Harry started to ask before blushing in embarrassment at realizing he never got the Santa Clause look-a-like's name. This just caused Albus to chuckle. "My name is Albus Dumbledore Mr. Potter" answering the question which caused Harry's blush to deepen. Albus smiled before continuing. "To answer your other question is simple. A muggleborn is a witch or a wizard who was born to muggle, non-magical parents."

Harry went from blushing to full blown surprise. He started asking himself if this was some sort of joke and the Dursleys where going to pop out and laugh at him before hitting and starving him, but he had an uncanny ability for a child to read people or the moods in a way. It was born form survival instincts at the Dursley's to know when he was going to be beaten, when Dudley was going to come after him, and when he should be invisible not to make his situation worse. He was never shown kindness much outside of the teachers at his school here and there but this man he could tell was serious or at least not lying to him. He just wanted to make sure and the Dursley's said magic didn't exist. "Magic is real" he asked in an almost desperate voice?

If it wasn't then, he was a freak, something he didn't want to be and there would be no place for him anywhere. His uncle always said that. Albus sensed and could see the desperation and depression of the young child in front of him and sighed tiredly at his failure. He really should have checked on Harry and before that listened to Minerva. He should really get her over here and apologize as she was also on that will to look after Harry so she could see him. She kept bothering him for permission to do so. Peter Pettigrew, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, and James Potter might have given her most of her grey hairs but their group that called themselves the Marauders where some of her favorite students. He now knew he denied her James Potter's legacy and it tore him up inside, he denied her, though technically not official, but none less. He denied her, her honorary godson. Her only students she trained to a mastery's son.

He made so many mistakes and his biggest was asking him a question he should have known since he could talk. Putting on a smile that to others might have been forced he addressed Harry. "Yes Harry magic is real. In fact I'm going to show you some if you'd like." He saw Harry's face and piercing green eyes the color of the killing curse that where the same as Lily Potter's light up and nod vigorously. So pulling out his wand he cast the Lumos spell that lit up his wand before casting Nox and putting the light out. He made sure to say both words so Harry could hear them and explained what both where. Then he said "Accio Clock" while holding his hand out and the clock that was to the right of Harry on the nightstand went to Albus's hand. Harry's face went from wonder, shock, too full blown excitement. His enthusiasm made Albus chuckle.

"That was so cool Mr. Dumbledore. You didn't use your stick thingy though" Harry said in full blown kiddish excitement. Albus just smiled. He could already see that Harry was the perfect balance of both his parents. Nodding and smiling he explained to young Harry that what he first used was what he called a wand, but that if he started practicing he could do magic without a wand which he called wandless magic. He started showing Harry how. During the training and after a few more questions got answered from his ever inquisitive mind. Harry felt great fear but wanted to get this question out. "Mr. Dumbledore am I a freak?" The question shocked Dumbledore to the core. Quickly piecing together why he would ask such a question the still thoroughly flabbergasted Dumbledore answered "No, Harry you a very special young man and you are magical. You are Harry James Potter. Not a freak." Harry seemed to smile a little before tears started coming out of his eyes. Tears of happiness. It took Albus a few minutes to calm the boy down but was startled again when Harry asked.

"My middle names is James like my father's, I didn't know I had a middle name." Albus had to take a deep breath before he addressed this one. Putting his best grandfatherly smile on, he asked "what did your aunt and uncle normally call you Harry?" Harry looked a little ashamed for a moment before stating quietly "freak" or "boy." Albus used his top occlumency shields not to react. Still with his grandfatherly smile on he said. "Well like I said before you're not a freak Harry, but if you're feeling up to it why don't you tell what else did your aunt and uncle do or make you do?" Seeing the horrified look on his face Albus was quick to say. "You're not in trouble Harry but I'd like to know." This seemed to placate Harry a bit before he hesitantly started to tell Dumbledore what happened. Then it steamrolled from there. They were in the room for a long time.

Albus Dumbledore sighed as he took off his half-mooned spectacles to hold his nose as he sat behind his desk at Hogwarts from a very long night at the Tonks residents. This whole situation was out of hand. He didn't even want to contemplate the political ramifications of the mess if this got out. He would take responsibility for it but he was at least happy that Harry didn't hold it against him. Of course the boy was justifiably angry with him but he calmed down and gave surprisingly Albus a hug when he saw Albus's face slip in pain at why he was describing why he left the boy with his family.

Harry's words that all was forgiven after a long uncomfortable silence and a genuine smile helped. He even took the points about him being a target for Death Eaters, Voldemort, and Peter Pettigrew well. Though Dumbledore had trouble understanding who Harry was mad at more, Peter or Voldemort. The magic flare the young boy showed surprised even Albus as he explained Peter's betrayal and his parent's murder by Voldemort. After calming him down he introduced him to his falsely accused godfather and the Tonks family to Harry and explained them to him as his family made his face light up. Especially when Sirius turned into his dog animagus form. He was sadly sure that Harry clapping and petting Padfoot, what Sirius called his animagus form, was one of the only times Harry laughed in his young life. Then 'Aunt Andi' as Harry started calling her on his own forced some food and more potions down his throat after giving him a full physical before sending him to bed. During the physical, Dumbledore and Sirius had to leave the room in anger, while Ted went to throw up and Nymphadora cried. Harry's back was heavily scared.

Dumbledore waited for Andromeda's file and assured he would prosecute the Dursley's to the full extent of the law, but made her promise to prevent Sirius from doing something reckless. After promising to come back tomorrow with the will he went back to Hogwarts. He wasn't back for a minute before a frantic Amelia Bones, the Director for the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, flooed him and asked him if the whole situation was real and she wasn't in nightmare of throwing a man in Azkaban without a trial. When he confirmed yes and they started talking they both agreed to keep this as quiet as possible so not to create waves till they were ready. Neither really liked Fudge and could only imagine what he would do with this information. They both agreed that next week's Wizengamot meeting was the fastest way to present the evidence while Dumbledore assured her that Sirius would be there and he would keep an eye on him till then. Then after that he summoned his deputy Headmistress, Transfiguration Professor and head of the Gryffindor house Minerva McGonagall to his office. After explaining the facts she was far from thrilled.

He could never remember her being such angry before and shuddered just thinking about what he went through. She was so angry that she could only speak in her native Scottish brogue. She almost went purple. He was forced to call his resident healer Poppy Pomfrey to try and administer a Calming Draught. In his haste he forgot that Poppy trusted Minerva's word over his and tried to talk him out of sending young Harry to the Dursley's after giving him his magical immunizations. When she saw her past student's Andromeda full file and what she had to say. She went ballistic. He never heard of Poppy losing her cool ever. It took him hour to calm them down. He explained the rest of the situation to them as shock settled in of Sirius's innocence. He promised updates and that he would allow them to visit Harry soon. He wanted Sirius to be cleared first and then start introducing Harry to more people as to give Harry some time to adjust. They nodded but they wanted constant updates in which he agreed. Now he had one more person who now stepped in his office. Severus Snape was a bully and man who couldn't let go off his past. He was a truly pitiful man when he came to Dumbledore to protect Lily Potter and try to redeem himself. Within a day he became the most hated teacher as Dumbledore hired him when his premiere potions professor, Professor Horace Slughorn finally retired after the war. In two years he was the most hated Professor, then one day he got a regal owl during dinner at the closing feast. Dumbledore observed many different emotions crossing the young mans' face till he went ghostly pale white.

After that dinner in which Severus didn't move besides putting the letter in his rope pocket, Albus was finally able to get his attention as they were then the last two in the Great Hall of Hogwarts. Severus said he would be leaving and didn't come back till the opening feast the next term in which he was almost late. He also came back a very contemplative and changed man. Though he didn't become a popular teacher he started changing the way he was teaching and being fair. He even washed his hair. Potion grades went up and to the shock of the whole school he dropped his NEWT acceptance from Outstanding to Exceed Expatiations and started reigning in his house that he was the head of, Slytherin. He still heavily favored his own house but he came back a changed man. Dumbledore even thought he seemed happier though admitted he had a hell of a poker face. No one seemed to know what happened and he wouldn't tell, but disappeared every summer and some Sundays during the school term. Every time he'd come back he'd be a little bit happier. The only thing that really irked him still was someone blowing up a cauldron in his class, bringing up his time at Hogwarts as student and the Marauders. He could only hope that this situation he now had to present to Severus would go over well he was thinking as he was looking from the Potter will to Severus Snape, the youngest Potion Master in recorded history that was looking back at him with a blank dull look.

"Severus thank you for coming my friend but we seem to be in a predicament that I'm sure is going to surprise you." Snape lifted one eyebrow in curiosity while his lips thinned and his black beady eyes showed curiosity. In a quiet voice that carried well throughout the room he asked "What situation is that headmaster?" Despite the seriousness of the situation Albus Dumbledore was sure he was going to enjoy this. "Well for starters my friend it would appear you're the secondary Godfather after Sirius Black to one Harrison James Potter by the word of Lily Potter nee Evans's last will and testement." With eyes twinkling in merriment he saw Snape starting to froth at the mouth before thinking 'I can't wait to see Sirius's reaction!' Then he heard a thump and saw his once very dour Potions Professor fall face first on the floor in a dead faint. After a few seconds Albus burst out laughing!

Well here's the chapter. I don't think I'm going to be able to update till early January, which my schedule should clear up a bit. I've just been so busy all of a sudden that I've had like no time to write. Thank you all for your patience. For the record of this story I'm going to tweak the story from canon and do my own thing but I'm not going to AU the hell out of this. It will be small things like a spoiler Lily was in Ravenclaw in my story instead of Gryffindor. Harry is just going to be a bit different and make his own choices and it's not going to be him seemingly following someone else's rules because they said so. For those who have been reading my Naruto story sorry.

I haven't given up on it but my computer developed an unexplainable problem. I do have viruses (sister's fault) on it but it's not hooked up to the internet. My power in my apartment complex one day went out while I was on it. When they came back on all of sudden I needed a password to get on my computer. I never set up a password protector so you can imagine how much of a pain that is to even have to deal with this. I had written another Naruto story and an Ace Combat story on it but now I can't get too them as well chapters 8 to 12 of my posted Naruto story. I really don't want to have to lose all my data to reaccess my computer so if anyone has a suggestion I'm all ears. It would be a great pain to rewrite them all so I have to do most of my writing instead of at home on a library computer which is why the slow updates. Thank you and please review. HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND MERRY CHRITMAS TO ALL!
