Chapter 10 (Trials and Tutors)
Outside of time the Mad Weaver saw a man hide a ring in a box and place it in a run down shack, hidden in the floor. She reached through her portal to the hidden room and grabbed the ring and pulled it outside time with herself.
Her Sisters watched, worry etched on their faces as their sister changed time. The Mad Weaver turned to another being and gave them the ring and told them to place it in Tartarus. Where no mortal or god could ever find it. The woman cackled and started muttering again about Deities learning their place when dealing with fate.
Tuesday October 18th 1994 just after moonrise, former Riddle manor Little Hangleton
The Dark Lord was still pissed off. Wormtail had gone missing several weeks earlier, after Voldemort's spy at that blasted school said he needed help to place the Longbottom and Potter boys under the imperious. The Dark one sent Wormtail who never returned. He received word from his faithful at the school, who said that the rat showed up and helped with the class and then left before his polyjuice expired.
Voldemort needed care while he was a homunculus and eventually was able to summon another two followers. The summoned were Gregory Goyle Sr and Anthony Crabbe. Separately they couldn't follow basic instructions. Together however they were equal to the rat in ability at the very least.
"Master" one of the dull twits said.
"What is it?"
" The moon is full, shouldn't we ward against werewolves?"
"How" the dark one screamed. "I don't have the strength too and neither of you could ward a paper bag not to break." As he cast a short crucio on his dim witted followers.
time skip Tuesday October 25th 1994 Hogwarts Great Hall 7:30A.M.
Today was the day Harry had been waiting on for the past month. Today was finally the day that the traitorous rat would be tried and his Godfather proven innocent. The packs forwent their normal exercise today, knowing that Harry at least and probably Neville as well would need to be ready to go to the Ministry when the Longbottoms arrived to pick them up.
The girls watched their Alphas and noticed that though they looked calm, they were anything but. They each remembered last week at the full moon when Harry had brought Sirius in to run with them.
The Look on Sirius' face had been priceless when he saw the wolves and their Alphas many forms and hysterical. The next day they explained to Sirius what had happened and why. Over the next two nights, the betas attitude to the lycan that was Moony disappeared, and all 14 canines became a very large pack. Which is what got Hermione and Susan thinking about things for after the trial.
At exactly 7:40 in the morning, Frank and Alice came through the doors of the great hall, the two dressed in their finest Auror robes. They stopped briefly looking for their kids, upon seeing them the two started to move towards them, when they were stopped by the voice of McGonagal who was addressing them.
"Good Morning Aurors. What can Hogwarts do for you today?"
"Good Morning Acting Headmistress. We are here to collect 4 of your students as witnesses to the trials happening today. Neville, Harry as well as Ms. Granger and Ms. Bones."
"Ah yes I did receive the paperwork on that. You 4 go with the Longbottoms and they will bring you back afterwards."
"Yes Ma'am" Replied the 4.
As previously arranged while the Longbottoms were distracting the Great Hall, Remus and Sirius (in dog form) made their way outside to meet the group on the way.
Tuesday October 25th 1994 9am Ministry of Magic Courtroom #10
The Group arrived at the ministry at 8am and were led to separate rooms for witnesses. The separation didn't bother the teens since they could talk together and with the rest of the packs mentally.
Frank took Sirius to a separate room while Alice stayed outside the rooms the teens were in. Right at 9am the acting Chief witch Madame Marchbanks started the session. After the role call was taken, she turned towards Madame Bones to ask why they were convened.
"Ladies and Gentlemen of the Wizengamot, we are here today to see Justice finally happen. 13 years ago a travesty of justice was allowed to occur, and an innocent man was sent to Azkaban without even the facsimile of a trial…" The members gasped at this "Not only that but this person was then given a kiss on site order when he left his illegal incarceration."
Fudge didn't look happy when she said this, but he remembered the verbal smack down from a month earlier and bit his tongue. Bones has his ass in a vice and he knew that if he went against her he wouldn't survive.
Bones continued after smirking at the Minister who was currently quite green. " That wasn't the only lack of Justice though. We are also here to make judgment on the ones who allowed this to happen, as well as a trial for the person who actually did the deeds that the 1st man was sent away for. We are here to hear the testimony and give trials to Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew as well as Barty Crouch and Albus Dumbledor!"
Again the Members Gasped
"Aurors bring in the accused!"
The rat was marched in shackles and forced to sit in the accuseds chair which wrapped him up tight in chains.
"Members of the Wizengamot I present to you Peter Pettigrew who was believed to be dead for the past 13 years at the hands of Sirius Black. I also present you with testimony taken from the accused a month ago when he was captured. This testimony was taken under veritaserum and witnessed by several Aurors, along with Mr. Harry Potter (who actually was the one who captured Pettigrew), Mr. Neville Longbottom, Ms Susan Bones, and Ms Hermione Granger. I was the one who questioned him."
Bones handed the document to the scribe who copied it and sent it to everyone in the room. ( for reference of what the statement says please refer to chapter 6- the truth comes out).
"Now" stated Madame Bones. " we are going to reapply the veritaserum and let him go through this testimony again, as well as allow you the members to submit other questions to him. As alway submit your questions on parchment to the Aurors at the end of each aisle and they will bring them to the Prosecutor and as long as your question is relevant and hasn't already been asked, the prosecutor will ask it."
After an hour no more questions were asked of the Rat and the antidote was given. Bones and the Prosecutor decided to bring out Sirius Black and question him at the same time. When called, the unhappy members of the dark alliance became even more unhappy, as they assumed that they could play the well. He's not here to get his side card and now they couldn't.
Sirius was led into the chambers and he looked much different from his wanted posters the year before. His Hair was combed and long, pulled back to a neat ponytail, he had a neatly trimmed mustache and goatee, that ended in a point. He was wearing clean robes that though weren't very expensive showed his proper station.
As Sirius was being led to another accused seat and the chains wrapped him up loosely. An impulsive member of the dark jumped up and shouted.
"Let's forget this drivel, the man is an escapee of Azkaban we should just have him kissed by the dementors and be done with it!"
"MRS. ROELING! WE practice the law in this courtroom! Your bigoted, idiotic interruptions are not helping matters at all. It has already been proven that Mister Black was never tried before he was sent to Azkaban, therefore he had no reason to be there and that charge has already been dropped." Shouted Madame Marchbanks. "Prosecutor please continue."
"Madame Marchbanks,"interrupted Sirius. " Before the prosecution continues I must strongly request I be given Veritaserum before I'm asked any questions."
The courtroom was shocked and it took a moment for Marchbanks to respond. "Are you sure Mr. Black? As a pureblood you don't have to take it."
" I understand Madame, However I have neen falsely accused for 13 years and my reputation has been tarnished. I want no misunderstanding when I am declared free."
"Very well administer the serum!"
Once the serum took effect the questions started.
"Mr. Black are you a death eater?"
"No I'd rather die then join those racist biggoted terrorists"
" Were you the Potters secret keeper?"
"No, I was supposed to be but for some reason I convinced the Potters to make Peter Pettigrew the secret keeper."
"What was that reason Mr. Black?"
"I don't know for sure. I almost feel like I was compelled to make the change. But I don't remember much from the day that the Potters went into hiding and the secret was made."
"What do you remember from that day?"
"I woke up the day that the charm was to be cast, I was set to become keepers. I remember meeting with the potters beforehand and running through what and where my responses were supposed to be. I remember getting summoned somewhere about an hour before the charm was to be cast. Then Im walking into Godrics Hollow with Peter and I convinced James and Lily to use Peter as the secret keepers. In my memory It didn't seem to take me long to convince them. Then I'm sent away and Peter gives me the secret just outside the cottage."
"Where did you go when you were summoned away?"
"I don't know. I remember getting the summons and leaving but the next thing in my memory is as I said walking into Godrics Hollow with Peter."
"Do you know who cast the secret?"
"No it was supposed to be Remus Lupin but I never saw him that night."
After a while the official questions were done and the floor was opened to questions from the members. A dark member submitted a question, hoping to bring doubt on Blacks testimony against Wormtail.
"Mr. Black" asked the Prosecutor as he read the question. "You said that earlier that Pettigrew gave you the secret outside the cottage. As we know there are a couple ways for that to happen and one of them could imply that Pettigrew might not have been the keeper. So the question is thus. How did you receive the secret? Was it verbal or written down?"
"It was verbal. The Potters didn't want a slip of parchment that could be taken or misplaced."
A few more members asked some follow up questions just to clarify certain points that Black made earlier and this his questioning was done. Following the end of the questions the members then left to deliberate and were back within 15 minutes. And the Chief witch read out the verdict.
" In the case of the Wizengamot vs Sirius Black we find by a majority count that Sirius Black is not guilty. A hearing will be set at a future time to discuss what is owed to Mr. Black for reparations. In lew of the evidence that Mr. Black is an unregistered animagus we are going to insist that he registers and the paperwork will be brought to him before the end of the day to do so."
There were many people who broke out in applause at the verdict
"Mr. Black is to be released and the kiss on sight orders are dissolved. Mr. Black your further testimony might be required for the other trials today. Please follow this Auror to the witness rooms until you are dismissed." Sirius nodded and rose to follow the Auror and Marchbanks continued. "In the case of the Wizengamot vs Peter Pettigrew, we find the defendant guilty by a majority count. For the killing of multiple people by using all 3 unforgivables, for the conspiracy to allow murder we find you guilty. Your Order of Merlin is rescinded. WE sentence you to death by veil after all the trials today. For now you will stay put in case more of your testimony is needed later. Now let the record show that though the voting wasn't public it will be placed in the record as stated by Wizengamot charter. We will break for recess for 1 hour to get lunch and make ready for the next trial.
The teens were informed that their testimony for Sirius and against Wormtail were not needed and why, but were also told they might be needed later for Dumbledores. A junior Auror brought them all food to eat while they were kept separated.
After the recess Acting Chief witch Marchbanks called for the next accused to be brought in. The doors opened and Bartimus Couch sr was lead in wearing chain over a nice robe suit, he was pale and shuffled as he walked as his legs were also shackled, once he sat down the chains on the chair tightly wrapped around him.
"Bartimus Crouch! You are hereby charged with counts of illegal incarceration, 10 counts. Illegal incarceration of an Heir presumptive of an Ancient and Most noble house, 1 count. Illegal abuse of Power as a DMLE offical, 10 counts. Illegal witness tampering, 10 counts. Illegal manufacturing of evidence, 10 counts. And Unauthorized illegal use of an Unforgivable, the imperious, 10 counts." Marchbanks read of the official charges
" Yes Chief Witch." responded Crouch
"How do you plead?"
"Not guilty Chief Witch!"
"Very well, so noted."
"Chief Witch per the nature of the charges, the Prosecution demands the use of Veritaserum!"
" Objection!" Yelled the Defence. " My client is a Pureblood and therefore doesn't have to take that!"
"Overruled." stated the Chief Witch." As per legislation from 1982, that was instigated by Your defendant, Bartimus Crouch, himself. Any charges that include the use of an Unforgivable, the use of Veritaserum may be forced to used. Aurors administer the serum!"
Two Aurors stepped forward, one holding the serum while the other forced Crouch's mouth open when he showed that he wasn't going to cooperate, once open the Auror with the serum administered several drops of the potion into his mouth. The one holding his mouth proceeded to clamped his hand over it to make sure that Crouch didn't spit it out. After a few moments Crouch's eyes went glassy and he physically calmed down. The Prosecution the started asking questions.
" What is your name?"
"Bartimus Crouch Sr."
"What Positions have you held while employed by the Ministry?"
" Auror at first, then Head Auror, then Assistant head of the DMLE, Then head of the DMLE, then Junior in the Dept of Magical Cooperation, then Assistant head of the same and finally Head of that Dept."
"Why the change from Head of the DMLE to a Junior in Magical Co-Op?"
"Objection!" Yelled the Defence. "Relevance?"
" I am merely making sure the potion is working. Those 1st two questions, as per Protocal is to get them talking while the 3rd is to ensure that the serum is working Chief Witch."
"Overruled" stated Marchbanks. "I'll allow it. Mister Crouch answer the question."
" I was demoted after my son was found to be a Death Eater."
"Why did you send Heir Presumptive Black to Azkaban without investigating, questioning or Trying him?"
"The Dark Lord had just been defeated and the community wanted Normalancy. Albus was certain he, Black that is, was guilty, because Albus told me that he cast the Charm himself that made Black the secret keeper for the Potters. Late Minister Bagnold asked questions about the rumor of Black being the oath sworn Godfather of Young Potter. Albus said that he witnessed that event and that the Potters never used the oath and therefore Black could have betrayed Young Potter. After that discussion all 3 of us signed for Black to spend the rest of his life in prison. Though Dumbledore wanted to send Black through the veil for his betrayal."
"Mister Crouch you were charged with witness tampering. Explain who you intimidated and why." Asked the Prosecutor
" I knew my son was a death eater and I used my position in the DMLE to receive all complaints about my son and would then threaten anyone who came forward with that information to either change their stories or to have them blame mudbloods for the crime."
"And the manufacturing of evidence?"
"Anytime the witnesses switched to mudbloods I would then create the evidence to either jail or execute them!"
"So for the record that is the 10 counts of illegal incarceration proven. The 1 count of illegal incarceration of an Heir presumptive proven. The 10 counts of abuse of Power and authority proven. The 10 counts of evidence manufacturing proven. Now Mister crouch explain to the court the 10 counts of casting the imperious."
There was hesitation coming from Crouch as he tried to fight answering this question, but eventually answered.
"After my son was imprisoned my wife got sick and on her death bed, She begged me to free him. So I did. Once I had him home again, I continuously placed him under the imperious to keep him under control."
"Let the record show the defendant has just admitted to breaking his son out of prison, so I would like to add the charge of manufacturing and implementing a prison break, 1 count, to the charges."
"Objection!, My client can't have charges added midtrial! The Defence hasn't had a chance to to prepare for this."
"OVERRULED! You were given the list of charges and should then have asked your client themselves to explain and therefore should have had the chance to prepare. Further presidence ,again implemented by your client himself, has clearly shown that charges can be added as new evidence comes up." responded Marchbanks. " Prosecutor continue with your questions."
"Mr. Crouch please explain to the court how you were able to free your son from Azkaban prison."
"As I said my wife was dying, and so was my son in Azkaban. I secured polyjuice and arranged a visit, under sympathy, to bring my wife to see my son. Once we were in the cell, I took hair from each of them and placed them each in a dose of potion, then gave each the others vial and then got them to drink taking each other's forms. I then left a suitable amount of polyjuice with my wife as well a chunk of hair from her son, so she could continue taking it until she died. The dementors sensed 1 healthy and 1 sick person entering and 1 healthy and 1 sick person leaving. Once we got home I immediately placed the boy under the imperious and hid him away. A short while later I told everyone that my wife died and held a private funeral. A day or so later I got word that the boy died and was buried on the island." Crouch replied.
"And then what happened to your son?"
"I kept him under the imperious for several years, unfortunately he was getting stronger and kept fighting me, I would have to renew it once a week or so, sometimes more. Then the last year or so He was behaving and not fighting me so I assumed I had broken him finally, my house elf convinced me to let him see the world cup as a reward for his behavior. I agreed and the worthless creature was supposed to watch him at the cup and tell anyone who asked that she was saving my seat. While the game was going on and I wasn't around, he fought the control and managed to steal a wand while the elf was hiding her face due to a fear of heights. Later that evening when the riot was happening he broke his control again and set off the dark mark, the ministry officials that appeared in, myself included, stunned the area and the elf was found. I knew that the boy had to be there as well so I searched for him and made sure he was covered in the invisibility cloak, then stunned him. Then to save face I freed my elf for being caught with a wand and took the boy home myself. A few days later he managed to free himself again and escaped once more. I haven't seen him since"
"Very well, that is all the charges proven to the court. I have no further questions."
As per the norm, the members were then able to ask questions through the prosecutor. The defense had no questions that could disprove anything under veritaserum.
The members then went to deliberate the verdict and eventually found Crouch guilty of everything. Crouch was sentenced to life in Azkaban, but like Pettigrew was held in court in case more of his testimony was needed.
"WE will now recess for an hour before we hear the next trial of Albus Dumbledor" stated Marchbanks. The court then cleared. Then resumed after the recess.
"Bring in the accused!" Demanded Marchbanks
The doors opened and in strolled Albus to many names Dumbledor. He was in clean fresh garments, unshackled, acting like he didn't have a care in the world. He strolled up to the prisoners chair and then proceeded to pull out his wand and transfigure it to a plush arm chair. Before he could sit however, Marchbanks shot another spell at it changing it back to the hard chain covered one that was there before.
"Aurors, why is the accused not in shackles? Why does the accused still have his wand?"
"Griselda is this really necessary?" asked Dumbledor
" I am Acting Chief witch to you right now, Mr. Dumbledor. And yes it is. WE need to follow protocol." Marchbanks stated." Aurors take the accused to the next room and search him and remove all magical items he may have on his person. The shackle him and bring him back."
"Griselda! Please be reasonable!"
Madame Bones intervened right then" Aurors if Mr. Dumbledor doesn't comply, you are ordered to stun him, place him in detainee robes and drag him back here. Do you understand?"
"Yes Madame Bones we understand" They replied as they placed a hand on Dumbledors shoulder.
Dumbeldor went to shake off the hand, when the older of the two got tired of him and followed Madame Bones orders and stunned him before levitating him out. All three exited the room 10 minutes later Dumbles was still being levitated by the older Auror and the younger one was carrying an evidence bag full of Magical items confiscated from the accused.
As Dumbledor was placed in the chair, the chains immediately bound him tightly in place before the stunning spell was removed.
Marchbanks quickly motioned to Madame Bones to carry on with the trial.
"Albus Dumbledor you are charged with the following: Interfering with an official interrogation, 1 count. Illegal incarceration of an Heir Apparrent, 1 count. Pury while under oath, 1 count. Tampering with a will back in 1981, 1 count. " At this Bones paused and looked at the Junior Auror and asked "Auror what items did the accused have on him?"
"5 portkeys that were set to work out of the Ministry and Azkaban. 4 items that are using blood tracking, 3 talismans that can bend wards and 2 back up wands."
Someone up in the gallery then shouted " and a partridge in a pear tree."
The observers laughed before the chief witch called for silence from the court, and Madame Bones continued.
" Abusing authority of portkey creation, 5 counts. Illegal blood tracking, 4 counts…" Bones was then interrupted by Dumbledor
"Amelia you'll find that the tracking isn't illegal as they are for someone I am magical guardian of."
"Silence Dumbledor" shouted Marchbanks
"Conspiracy to dismantle wards that aren't your own, 3 counts. Having restricted or banned items, 3 counts. And as usual we have the right to add charges based on any evidence given throughout the trial."
"How do you plead, Mr. Dumbledor?" Asked Marchbanks.
"Not Guilty to all charges!"
"Very well, with the charge of Perjury. I authorize the use of Veritaserum"
Dumbledor didn't protest, he only had a small smile in the corners of his mouth and a look of triumph in his eyes. Madam Bone saw this and immediately knew that the serum wouldn't work.
"Chief Witch," Bones interrupted. " We must remember the training and skills that the defendant has. I suggest we use the Unspeakables Alchemy produced serum." Dumbledors eyes opened wide with shock and then he paled dramatically.
After a moment of thought Marchbanks agreed and sent for the Unspeakable serum. A few minutes later The head Unspeakable himself, Unspeakable Croaker, walked into the courtroom.
"Madam Chief Witch Marchbanks, I've brought for the court 1 vial of Veritaserum produced by Alchemy by the Unspeakables' own Alchemists and then tweaked even further by renowned Alchemists Nicolas Flammel and his wife Perenelle." Stated Croaker. Dumbledore looked like he was about to faint at hearing the names of his former teachers, whose deaths he thought he had guaranteed 2 years earlier.
"Thank you Chief Croaker. Please administer your serum to the accused Albus Dumbledor." Replied the Chief Witch
"Before I do that Chief Witch I need it on record that this serum can't be taken orally, it must be injected directly into the bloodstream, and once injected I must cast a monitoring charm on the defendant to monitor his vitals and make sure he is no danger during the questioning. If I see such a danger I will halt the questions and immediately issue the antidote."
"So noted! Thank you Chief Croaker."
Croaker stepped forward and removed a syringe and needle from his bag and filled it with 20 cc's of serum and removed the air from the needle. Once this was done he found a vein on Dumbledors arm and injected the needle and pressed the plunger emptying the syringe. Once the needle was removed he placed a cotton swab and stuck it with a sticking spell, then proceeded to cast the aforementioned monitoring charm and stepped back and nodded to the Chief Witch to let her know he was done.
The court watched Dumbledor struggle against the serum for a few minutes before his whole body relaxed and he went calm as his eyes glazed over.
"Mr. Dumbledor, lets start with the charge of interfering with an official interrogation. Why did you draw your wand during the questioning of Peter Pettigrew?"
His voice spoke without emotion. " I didn't want him to implicate me any further."
"Explain that for the court please?"
"He said I knew he was the secret keeper, which is true, but that can be explained as he gave me the secret. When I was asked after the fact, I said that I was given the secret by Pettigrew, but that it was written down. Meaning people would assume that Peter was just delivering the parchment. Which isn't true I cast the secret with Peter as the keeper so I already knew the secret and didn't need to be told"
"I see. That is the count of interfering with an official interrogation and 1 count of perjury proven. Now explain why you wanted the Potters will sealed?'
"My lying of Black being the secret keeper would have been exposed. The will stated that not only was Black not the secret keeper but he was also Young Harry's Godfather. I couldn't have Harry growing up strong I needed him weak and malleable to be my weapon against The Dark Lord. If it wasn't for Lily Potter having a separate will, I could have kept the weapon away from any who would make him strong."
" There is the charge of Tampering with an Official will proven. Are we to assume Dumbledor that you had the Heir Black sent to Azkaban, just to ensure he couldn't raise Scion Potter?"
"Yes as I said I didn't want anyone who would raise the boy well, to have him."
"And why was that?"
"He who controls the Heir controls the fortune."
"So you sent the Heir Black to prison, why, just to control the Scion Potter and therefore his fortune? Are we to believe that this was all a scheme to get rich?"
"No, of course not, I need the money to fund my Order of the Phoenix. Voldemort is not dead and when he comes back I need money to outfit my group…"
On and on the trial of Albus Dumbledore went. Eventually he was found guilty of several charges, but was able to talk himself out of the serious ones and unfortunately avoided jail time. He did have to pay a very large fine and was removed from his position as Chief Warlock but remained in his other two.
Authors note( Don't hate me. The trial was taking way too long. I don't like writing trials at all. I'm trying to keep it entertaining but then it will either drag on way too long or it ends up ending abruptly. So I decided to do both lol. I wanted to present enough evidence to have you my readers understand that I really don't like Dumbles. But I couldn't continue his trial without it ending with him dead or in Azkaban, and as much as I hate him, I need him free and in a position to act later in the story. I have this story written in my head and my muse fills in the details. That is how we got Dumbles on trial right now anyways. Originally he wasn't supposed to be arrested but the muse stepped in and was like nope this must happen)
Wednesday October 26th 1994 Room of Requirement 4:30 p.m.
Neville and Harry sat in the projected Ancient wood, watching their Packs train their forms as well as playing like only canines can. Both boys are thinking about the trials that happened the day before.
"I still can't believe the old man escaped serving jail time." Said Neville. " He admitted his guilt with his testimony."
"I know Nev, but he has to many friends and too many people that he could call favors from in that chamber." Replied Harry." We will just have to wait and stay ahead of him, besides you know that he only held on to his position with the ICW because only that body can remove members. I'm pretty sure that they will do that next they meet."
"True I suppose… So when do you think Moony will show up? It's been a week and we can cure him now."
"Should be soon, it's just half past 4 now, he was supposed to get off work at 4:15, so he should be here soonish I would think."
Further talk was halted as the two Alphas caught the scent of The Wolf Lords in the woods, along with an unknown scent as well.
The two got up to investigate and greet their Alpha supremes, when all of a sudden the 3 visitors materialized in front of them.
"Apologizes our young Alphas, we wanted to give you time to know we brought a guest before showing up infront of you." Stated Filtiarn
The Alphas who lived nodded, appreciating that this powerful person wasn't just dropped on them.
"Allow us to introduce Kylar De Nocturnius Angelo, the creator of all Ancient Magic…"
Authors note( Thus endeth book one, literally I am currently writing this story down in a green spiral note book that has 120 pages and this is the final page. Chapter 11 will start in the brand new notebook I have waiting for me. From here on we will have more time jumps and the packs start in their magical training. Next up we get the introductions down and Remus gets cured, as well as the start of the tournament (probably). After that Hogwarts won't play much of a part as a location, some but not a lot. And I might have a surprise or 2 instore for the next few chapters)
Authors note #2( I am sorry for the very long delay between chapters. The past couple of years have been kicking my ass. My work at the time was busy because I was the only employee besides the boss and I had no time. Then last year that company closed down and I was unemployed for a bit and then got another job which is cool but I don't have the free time I had at my last job. And Ive had massive writers block for this story
I was originally going to not post until I had Chapter 10 and 11 ready to go in my computer. But I haven't finished writing chapter 11 yet let alone typing it up. I decided that it was unfair to keep you all waiting and those who have followed it have been very patient and I appreciate and love you all for that. I am once again going to promise that I will finish this story before starting any others. Like I mentioned before like a lot of writers I have plans for other stories but I'm not going to fall down the hole of oh I'll just write this other story until I get the inspiration for this one again. That doesn't work for me. The good news though I have found the inspiration to continue and I am hoping to have the next chapter up in the next 2 months.)
