What is this, an update?

I'm so sorry about my prolonged absence... I don't really have an excuse for it. I had a couple more chapters written but decided I needed to do some forward planning before I uploaded them. This isn't quite finished, but since my friend kat graced me with like fifteen reviews today, I decided to screw it and give you all an update! I hope you're all still hanging in there with me.

Wow, that wasn't a very good place to leave it, was it? People are like "omg the suspense is killing me", and "wtf was with the silver-haired lady?" Obviously I can't say too much without giving stuff away, but I will say that throughout the books, Harry should have paid a lot more attention to his dreams. Even when he wasn't being posessed by Voldyshorts, his dreams were still prescient and gave the reader great insight into what was happening, even though he didn't realise it. So I will tell you that the silver-haired lady isn't a real person, but she's a product of Harry's mind trying to connect the dots - and coming to a much more accurate conclusion than his conscious mind is!

Shoutouts go to: Magical Singer Gal, You Know Who, xxxBekaForEvaxxx, ProfessorChris, NotSoAwry (thankyou!), .xX, werewolfatemyphoenix, ForbiddenLove7, SilverLily1, good-couples, Sparky Dorian, xxilykinsmilezxx (twice for the one chapter!), hoeoverbros, mscf123, Delia-of-the-Oysters, Elise Suzanne (three times), and of course kat. I love you all!

I was still on my avant garde kick when I wrote this (I promise this is the last of it though, at least for now). I hope you enjoy it!

"Harry! Are you there?"

"Nothing. Where d'you suppose he is?"

"Wait, the door's unlocked!"

"That's not like him…"

"Is he there?"

"Oh, bloody hell."

"What?"

"He's passed out on the table."

"Oh no! What's wrong with him?"

"Too much Firewhiskey, probably—argh!"

"Oh my goodness! Ron, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I just slipped on something…"

"It was that bottle… it spun out and smashed against the door. Careful, Ron!"

"Relax, Hermione, I have shoes on."

"Scotch? Harry doesn't drink scotch!"

"I can't believe that didn't wake him up! He's completely tanked."

"I've never seen him pass out before, have you?"

"No… but he must've had at least half of that on his own, and we know he's not a strong drinker."

"So why does he suddenly want to drink himself to death? Did something happen yesterday?"

"I didn't see him yesterday, I was locked up in meetings."

"Something mustbe seriously wrong. I've never seen him depressed enough to drink half a bottle of scotch in one night."

"I love it when you go all know-it-all…"

"Ron!"

"What?"

"Harry's in trouble!"

"Well, what sort of things get Harry depressed? Has anybody died?"

"Not that I've heard…"

"Well, you and I are still talking to each other, and we're both still talking to him, so it must be Ginny."

"Of course! I wonder what's happened?"

"I dunno. When was the last time you saw her?"

"Tuesday morning. I assumed she was here."

"That's not good, is it?"

"No. It's not."

Please don't forget to leave a review! They seriously rock my world :)
