Author's Note:
Alright, here's the deal, I know it's been a long time since I've updated, but that's because I've been doing a lot of research to get this story as canon correct as possible as well as historically correct for the real life.
I need to know things like when was the first broomstick used (which apparently happened in 962 A.D., 32 years after the first story meaning that my first story can't have broomstick flying), the rules of Quidditch, when the Ministry appeared, Harry's graduating class, the original name of Death Eaters, the pure-blood family tree, etc.
Not only have I been doing that research, but I need to know who my original characters and how they are like as well as who they are related too. I need to come up with fake names for Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny as well as their school schedules.
Take for example, the Founders Four class schedule:

I have to make sure I know all of the classes and what they learn.
There's also learning what every spell in Harry Potter and what it does. Then I have to create my own spells and charms as well as create enough original history to make it interesting. I need to know the dates of when each of the Destiny Stone saga stories take place so that I can have accurate information for the real life people there.
I am also creating chapter summaries, so that while I won't have the chapters written I know the direction and what day it happens (which also means I need the calendar for that year). This way I can avoid plot holes.
So, I ask you to be patient because I AM working on this story, but I am trying to make it the best I can possibly make it and that means I have to do a lot of homework to do.
Oh, and the reason I don't just use the internet to look up something when I need it is because it's just easier to have it all in front of me with proper structure (like have all of the Ministry files together rather than separated in several different places).
Thank you for your time and I hope to have the next chapter out for you soon.
