Alrighty folks, I thought that since I am getting quite a few questions I would go ahead and answer them here. Though a few will come up in the story I thought it was best to get some of these out of the way now.

First off if you don't really care for the questions you by all means may skip this. I also apologize for perhaps getting your hopes up with a new chapter, that should be up in the next week or so.

First question is one I have been getting since the start of this story. Snape's age. Yes, yes I know that his actual age is more near 40, 38 at his death. Mind you he is my favorite character. I understand that he is quite a bit older than what I have him. But this is a fanfiction after all. But his age is the way it is because I am basing this friendship/romance off of my own. Since Hermione is about my age in this story and therefore Severus's needs to be brought down. This is also due to the fact I personally do not feel a 38 year old and a 20-21 year old would be a little odd. But anyways the age isn't really going to be a matter I promise and I may if I keep getting questions just omit that part completely. No offence to anyone who has asked me of course I love you all.

Onto a few questions about characters.

Andi will get more spotlight later on- like next chapter *cough* *Cough* She is going to be an important character down the line.

Both Albus and Eileen's reason to be alive are mentioned in coming chapters just not to detail quite yet. But here is a little summary.

Albus yes still had the ring- but due to the fact that both Eileen and Severus are rather tactful with potions have found a way to manage it. It won't fix it but it is slowing down the inevitable. They worked together and had him in safety till the war was over, so yes people still thought he was killed- besides a few key members this will be brought up as well.

Eileen's backstory has always kind of confounded me anyway but I felt that we needed some light in Severus's life and as the first war happened I thought that would work perfectly together. Yes both of them endured a lot of hell at home but both made it out alive. To remain safe she had been living under another name in France working on contract potions. This was mostly able to happen because Albus is a good friend of hers.

But yeah, I think that's about it. If more questions come in I may add to this but hopefully they can be done at the start or finish of chapters. That's what I was planning on doing with these but I have gotten so many questions asked I thought I should go ahead and answer some of them. I also normally try to reply one on one because I feel that kind lends itself to a more personal relationship with my readers.

Anyways I hope you guys like this and another apology for getting your guys hopes up and remember any character you recognize belongs to my idol J.K Rowling I just use them to keep my mind busy.

Love you all and I hope you guys are having a great week
