The First Chapter of Draco Black and the Serpent's Diary has been posted. Don't forget to check back here, as I will continue to edit and fix this tale as time goes by. I hope to pave the larger plot holes before diving too deep into the next part. As a bit of fun, here's a little piece of the first chapter. Enjoy.
Albus Dumbledore sighed and set his phoenix quill down. He listened calmly to the whirling and dinging of the various bobbles and trinkets the littered his office. It was nice to take a few minutes to relax, especially after a school year like the one that ended just days before. He'd never expected to be a teacher again, but after Severus and the million other things that had gone wrong, Albus felt he had no choice but to take up the mantle as Potions Master of Hogwarts. It was stressful enough being Headmaster. He thanked his luck stars that he'd studied with Nicolas, more so now than ever before. Nicolas was a truly gifted teacher, and Albus felt he'd gained some of that and applied it to his own teaching. Alas, as much fun as the last few terms had been, Albus needed to return to his primary role as headmaster. Which meant finding a new Potions Master. He opened his eyes and studied the application in front of him. This person would never do as a potions teacher, nor was the application for said position. Albus sighed again. He only hoped Remus would understand his decision. It wasn't made lightly. A knock on the door broke him away for his musing.
