AUTHOR NOTE:

Over the past several weeks, I have gone back through the full story and made many, many edits, every single chapter has been touched, none have escaped! There have been dialogue changes, story adjustments, new scenes, additions on all fronts. This has been a really fun project for a multitude of reasons but mostly it's been satisfying to fix major plot holes that have always bothered me and to give Hermione a little bit more attention as I have always felt I didn't quite hit the mark with her. So it felt right to make a quick post indicating some of the more major changes. As stated, every chapter has had attentions, the ones listed are merely ones of either minor or major significance that impact the story. (*Note: Because these have taken place over the past several weeks, very recent readers might have already read many of the changes!)

Additional scene = Fully contained and new interaction between H/S that adds to plot, layers in more character development, effects story in a meaningful way

Dialogue changes = Usually additions that amplify a characters' inherent traits, i.e. Hermione's cleverness or Snape's taciturn snark, these are mostly for fun and because I felt like Hermione in particular could use some fleshing out

Additions = More internal thoughts from characters or tweaks to how they perceive certain situations

Story adjustment = Changes that will be referenced throughout the rest of the story, these might be minimal, just worth mentioning as later chapters will reference moments that may not have been present on a prior read-through

*/**/*** = Contains elements or scenes that are new and are now referenced throughout rest of story
