Title: Book 2, Chapter 04

Posted Date: January 12 2025


It was official, Halloween was cursed for Harry Potter. That was what he was thinking while sitting in a room with the headmaster, his head of house, the ICW officers, Madam Bones and her Aurors, and finally his guardians.

How did this come about, you may be wondering?

That day, which was Halloween, started somewhat normally as he and his friends went about their day for lessons and doing their work in the Joint Room, with the only caveat being the school trying to warn him about something. It was extremely insistent on that day with the avatar doing a lot of hand gestures and illustrations to try and deliver the message to him. In anticipation of possible dangers to himself, Harry loaded himself up with rune clusters, barrier charms, shrunken potion vials, and the emergency box he had yet to use since the previous year.

He was just practising Constant Vigilance!

(Somewhere in the UK, a recently retired Auror had the urge to find the one who kept making his senses tingle about his favourite saying for the past year.)

Then came the evening where he was once again forced to come to the feast that was somewhat celebrating the deaths of his parents, although Filius was kind enough to organise a more private session for those who wish to pay their respects in privacy. So with that to look forward to, Harry tried to enjoy himself while politely rebuking those wondering his thoughts on the matter, at least until a loud shout from outside broke the mood followed by the sounds of something really big slamming against the walls. At first the students panicked and tried to leave the hall only for the doors to slam shut and the protections to be activated around the hall. One of the ghosts appeared to tell them that they were to remain in the Great Hall while the officers who were patrolling the school checked on the situation, all while ignoring Dumbledore's attempts to take over the situation.

Shortly after, the doors were open and the Aurors were inside to assure the students and to escort them back to the house dormitories. But halfway to the dorms, one of the Aurors stopped Harry to ask him a few questions regarding his whereabouts as someone had claimed that he was at the scene shortly before the feast. Harry immediately made sure that he would only answer with his guardian around.

It did not take long to figure out that Dumbledore was the one who singled him out and was trying to use this chance to get something out of Harry for the troubles. Thankfully, Sirius and Albert had arrived in good time and were in full "Lord" mode with no room for concessions or mercy as they entered the room where the headmaster and ICW officers were along with Amelia Bones and her guards who came shortly before them.

Was it wrong to see the surprise and displeasure on his face?

The old wizard decided to open up the conversation stating that Harry was last seen at the scene that had Ronald Weasley petrified and some words that were evidently painted on the wall. Harry made sure that he had his recording crystal showing he was nowhere near the place, and even had his witnesses, before Jeremiah asked who were the ones that the headmaster listened to. When saying it was the portraits, he then asked to talk to them only for the wizard to deny that, stating they did not need to bother them. That was when the ICW Aurors called him out and proceeded with Harry's permission to do a quick interrogation to ensure no one could accuse him.

And he did not have to care about Dumbledore's fake assurances of not needing this.

In any case, the ICW Aurors helped to clear his name and they were now discussing the situation on the possible causes of this case. They would be getting done quicker if not for Dumbledore trying to poke his nose into it and keep claiming Hogwarts was safe. Harry was thankful for Occlumency as Professor McGonagall reached out to twist his ear like he was an unruly child and berated him to stay silent.

They did clarify with the portraits and other Aurors in the castle that something big had moved through the hallways which explained the wrecked armour and floor being wet along with the sounds that interrupted their dinner. But someone with common sense pointed out that there had to be a person involved since animals cannot write unless they had hands. So after much debating and checking, they came to an agreement that the Aurors would be checking on the situation. For now, they were working under the assumption that someone was using a spell or potion to petrify the cat, and that was concerning so the Aurors would come to Hogwarts to ensure the place was safe.

And Harry was finally allowed to leave the office despite Dumbledore's obvious desire to keep him there for whatever reason.

"Thanks for the escort." Harry thanked the ICW Auror who accompanied him, his guardians and Professor Flitwick back to his dorm.

"No problem, Mister Potter." The Auror nodded to him. "You had to go through all that trouble for them. Least we could do is make sure you don't get harassed further."

"I should be getting those idiots sent to retraining." Sirius muttered under his breath.

"Or be fired." Albert added his own idea.

"Depending on the verdict from my boss, both options are on the table." The Auror shrugged at both of them. "In any case, your recording crystal and the testimony are very helpful. No one can accuse you at this point, although you might want to watch yourself. I was a kid once, and I still remember the times the kids love to tear down another for some idea of power. I do not know what it is like here in Hogwarts since I went to Spain, but it is likely the case as well."

"We will take that in mind." Filius answered as he considered the scenario. The Auror nodded and went along his way to meet his partner. The professor then turned to the two. "Why don't we take this inside the common room? I still need to inform the students and set the permissions."

"This would be the first time I would see a common room in Hogwarts." Albert remarked as the statue stepped aside.

"This is perhaps my 18th visit to the Ravenclaw dormitory." Sirius answered as he walked in to view the room. "Hasn't changed much from the looks of it."

"How did you come into the dormitory?" Filius asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh, James and I were able to get past the guardian a few times with help from Remus who could answer the riddles, but we also got invited by our classmates back then." Sirius paused before looking sheepish, "And we may have found a way or two past the guardian as well."

"Do I need to go about plugging up holes in the security?" Filius hummed.

"To be honest professor, the guardian can be bypassed easily once you answer the riddles correctly. It is not really exclusive to Ravenclaws, anyone with sufficient reasoning and logic can answer them, otherwise someone could confound the guardian and walk through. There is no actual security to stop those from other houses or even adults from coming through." Harry noted the issues during his first year. Filius looked troubled at that admission.

"Perhaps I need to increase the security measures." He looked about the common room with narrow eyes.

"Just let me know if the lighting enhancements need to be delayed for that." Harry spoke.

"I doubt that is needed. You can go ahead with it." Filius answered while he approached the prefects and some of the students in the common room to alert them of the situation. That left him with Sirius and Albert who looked curious at their discussion.

"You know about the lighting lamps in my room? The professor has seen them and wanted them in the common room, so I have been working on the design. It is targeted to be installed before Christmas." Harry answered.

"Well, it would brighten up the room better." Albert looked at the darker colors around the room. "It is a bit dark even with the fireplace."

"People wanted to have better lighting for their reading, so now we can have it." Harry shrugged before they stayed quiet and watched the professor address the entire house on what had gone on and what was expected later. Questions were asked and answered, and a few wondered about Harry's involvement and why his guardians were around, and Harry could tell there was going to be some stupid leaps of logic when they heard about the Aurors and Ronald Weasley. Thankfully it was averted for the time being, giving Harry the chance to talk more with his guardians.

"Harry, I am thinking of withdrawing you from Hogwarts." Albert spoke out once they were in the privacy of his dorm room and had checked for listening charms on their bodies. He held out a hand to stop Harry and Sirius from speaking. "Think of it from my end. The school is now encountering a different problem that has a student petrified. That is not something that students can use, and this is the third invasion of Hogwarts that has me worried. You have already completed your OWLs and you can take your NEWTs later. And if you are concerned about education, the project for the building is to be completed by Christmas."

"I'm sure the real Aurors can handle this, Dumbledore cannot stop them, and Amelia is on the case." Sirius tried to reason with Albert only for the latter to give him a minor glare.

"Look, I know I am not a Hogwarts Graduate so I won't know the attachment you have to this place, but my experience has been negative thus far, and I don't care for any sentimental value of this place that is jeopardising my ward's safety and that of other students. Harry has done his OWLS and obtained control of his family vaults, and Dumbledore cannot stop us from withdrawing a ward to transfer."

"Except for the fact that the man is somewhat fixated on me." Harry had to cut in at this point. "Yes, leaving this place would keep me safe, but that also leaves others in danger. Not to mention that he still has a lot of pull with others as his proxy to make sure I will remain here. It is not ideal, but the more time he thinks he can gain some control over me here, the less attention he has for the things around him, and he will ignore them until they get too big for him to ignore. We have to do it."

"But why does it have to be you?" Albert had to ask.

"Because we have been tasked by her Royal Majesty herself to deal with the mess of the Wizarding World?" Harry shrugged with a sigh. "At least we are ahead in the time table, so with any luck, I will be done by the end of this school year once we start on the NEWTs. Dumbledore has already pushed a lot of buttons with that law to limit students from taking OWLs too early, and the ICW has been on his tail for a while now. I just need to go through without issue and legally speaking, nothing can stop me from transferring by that point."

Albert sighed while scratching his head before looking at him. "Fine, you can stay until the end of the school year, but anything resembling last year's incidents, I will take you out of Hogwarts even if I had to drag you out, got it?"

"Got it, Albert." Harry turned to Sirius who looked conflicted. "And you?" Sirius looked at the two before sighing heavily.

"At this point, it is clear that Harry is in more danger than I would like, and I know that Lily is probably trying to break down the gates of Heaven to come back here to strangle Dumbledore." Sirius looked at Harry with a slightly forlorn look. "Hogwarts has certainly changed in the time I was stuck in Azkaban. I could barely recognize McGonagall, and the less said about Dumbledore, the better. I am supposed to be the godfather, so you should be safe."

"Well, now you know." Albert huffed at him. Harry hoped things would not get too tense between them; despite them getting along better, there were moments they would butt heads over his custody and protection, and Albert being someone who did not study at Hogwarts seemed to poke holes in Sirius's idea that the place was safe for Harry.

In the end, the two adults left the dormitory and Harry went back to his room with a mental sigh going on in his head.

Quite a way to kick off his second Halloween in Hogwarts.

~ooOOoo~

It was honestly a question of whether people have intelligence or common sense at times.

Some of the students had evidently tried to spread the word of him being a suspect, and there were a few unfriendly eyes directed at him. It helped Harry greatly that the ICW officer and Aurors were around to cut off any rumours and slander by the knees and made sure that everyone knew what was going on the next day in the afternoon. It was also quite obvious and somewhat annoying to see the headmaster attempting to brush over the matter, stating that since he knew that Harry was innocent, there was no need to announce it. The ICW officer publicly ranted at the man for his inaction and trying to smear Harry's name at the same time since he was the one who pointed the finger at Harry.

Harry also made sure to clear up any doubts by making another oath on the spot to dissuade the nay-sayers, before he announced that anyone attempting to slander him will be sued, ignoring the headmaster who tried to guilt trip him and then tried to give him detentions for "threatening his fellow students" only for the Ministry Inquisitor to take his turn to rant at the old wizard.

The Dumbledore supporters were seemingly flabbergasted at the disrespect, the flip side had plenty of older male students taking out parchments to write out his vocabulary.

Amelia Bones did not waste time in getting other Aurors to come to Hogwarts to boost security and to perform a surprise inspection for all students despite Dumbledore's protests. Harry had to grant her and a select few the access to the Joint Room, the ward room and his lab to show there were no illegal items or anything that could cause petrifications, although there were a few sticky fingers who tried to make off with his items only to be repelled, and when trying to force on the matter, got kicked out by the security.

Harry could mentally hear the avatar giving out a giggle when the Auror in question bounced about with those pinball machine sounds.

Once that was done and cleared, the dorms and classrooms were searched thoroughly while the students were stuck in a different room to empty out their pockets and have their wands checked. Some from the darker families had argued about the latter on grounds the Aurors had no authority, but the ICW officer and the Ministry Inquisitor pulled out the stamped documentation to show the proof, and they were then made to present the wands. Some of them were then pulled away on account of some spells found that warrant further questioning, and with the ICW involved, certain families found themselves under the very uncomfortable microscope of public opinion.

Too bad, so sad. At least that was how Sirius put it while laughing his head off after Harry told them later.

By the end of that, there was a lot of contraband found in all four houses, mostly from the third years onwards, with Hufflepuff sporting only ten items of minor infractions in total to Ravenclaws' knee high pile to what amounted as two hills of contraband that came from Gryffindor and Slytherin respectively. Said two piles reached Hagrid's stomach, and given he was a big guy that towered over others, that was a lot of contraband.

Harry did not know who was more likely to burst a blood vessel, the Aurors in charge, McGonagall or Snape. His bet was on the Transfiguration Professor, half of the items from Gryffindor belonged to the Weasley Twins alone, and three of the Aurors got tagged by the ones left around the castle!

In any event, security was increased with the guards moving about, and as a bonus, Harry was vindicated with his innocence and made sure to tell his solicitor to sue the headmaster for trying to slander him offhandedly. Jeremiah seemed almost gleeful for the chance and went about it with gusto, all while humming "All Hail Britannia" under his breath.

Ronald Weasley was back in school within the week (much to the private groaning of many who had hoped to eat in relative peace and quiet without the urge to puke at his "eating habits") and was trying to milk up the attention only to be deflated like a balloon when others pointed out that he could have died. He tried to gain momentum in blaming Harry only for the Aurors to already prove his innocence along with obtaining Ron's memories while they were bringing him back, which only resulted in him getting detention with Snape.

After that bit of excitement, people were now attempting to get more information about the Chamber of Secrets. All the history books in the library had been tagged with Madam Pince breathing down on all who were pursuing them, while some went the extra mile of asking their families about it. For Harry and his friends in the advancement program, the current history format involving the use of the Pensieve to see the professor's lecture was working against them a little since it was focusing on all history from all over the world, and not really a lot on Hogwarts, so they were forced to try other methods.

Which led to this moment in the Joint Room.

"We are going to need a better source of history." Padma spoke while almost slamming the book on the table with a grunt. "There is nothing about this chamber in Hogwarts Book of History."

"I have tried every other book, none of them have information on it." Hermione answered from behind her small pile of books showing every possible lead on it. "All they keep saying is that the Chamber of Secrets is likely a myth since no one has actually found it."

"Okay, so another tally on the board." Justin made a score on the checklist by the board. A checklist that had a lot of names scratched out from their searching, and no items for relevant entries.

"How about Binns, want to try our luck?" That suggestion got a few groaning at the idea of asking the droning ghost.

"Some of the seniors had tried it earlier. Binns actually told little about this chamber, but the answer is more or less what one expected. The old wizard had disagreements with the other Founders over the selection of students, threw a tantrum, and then left behind a guardian meant to purge Hogwarts of those he deemed not worthy." Terry answered, recalling Penny's attempt to get the ghost to talk of something else other than goblin rebellions to limited success.

"I may have something." Ernie came in at that point while dumping his bag down. "Overheard one of the older Aurors talking to his friend on the way. Seems like the chamber was actually opened before in the past but it got all hushed up because of some incident that happened during that period."

"Why?" Justin asked.

"From what I heard, at the time a student was killed and there had been talks about the school getting closed. And once the perpetrator was caught, the headmaster back then decided not to make a big deal about it." Ernie answered.

"What else?" Harry asked, noting Ernie's expression and tone. Ernie squirmed under their gaze but continued.

"Around that period, Hagrid was expelled for supposedly having a creature that may have killed the student back then." Ernie quickly raised his arms to stop the impending onslaught from the Gryffindors in the room. "Hey, I don't really believe it myself, but we all know that Hagrid's idea of cute does not match ours." The others winced at that reminder. The half giant was kind to a fault, and naive in thinking some of the creatures around the area would be harmless despite the fact they could render the students into pieces. There was the rumour about Hagrid supposedly getting his hands on an actual dragon's egg sometime last year but anyone with common sense would know it was a bad idea to hatch a dragon in a wood hut of all places.

(Back on the grounds, Hagrid sneezed and almost burned the rock hard brownies he was baking for the moment.)

"Think we can ask Blaise and the others?" Parvati looked around for state people.

"It would be hard. There is a fair amount of scrutiny on the house because of this." Harry spoke as they recalled the expressions of their Slytherin companions. They were getting caught in between the warring emotions of the other houses, not helped from the hard-headed Gryffindors who took this as a sign as the house members trying to begin their reign of terror on the populace and the Slytherins must all be expelled and sent to prison to save the students.

These were the nicer words from the likes of Ronald Weasley and hardcore Dumbledore supporters.

"We are not going to get anything for the moment from history and may have to wait for the others to get answers, so let's have lunch before continuing our search." Terry announced with a loud punctuation of his stomach growling. "Can we eat here? I don't feel like walking to the hall and eating the food there."

"Pop! Do young masters and mistresses want lunch right now?" Dudi the elf appeared and asked the people in the room.

"Yes, if that is possible, Dudi." Harry answered him.

"Okie Dokie!" The house elf gave a thumbs up and popped away. Right at that moment, someone knocked on the door. Harry checked the board near the door before opening it to find Amelia Bones and her usual guards.

"Auntie!" Susan seemed to teleport to the door and into her aunt's arms. The stern expression from the woman dropped briefly to give a smile at her niece trying to squeeze her tightly.

"Hello Susan." She greeted the young girl with her own hug before looking at Harry. "Mister Potter, may I have a quick word with you?"

"Okay." Harry brought her to the part of the room that was their relaxation corner, and activated the privacy ward to keep the likely private conversation safe. "What can I help you with?"

"First off, I should let you know the Aurors who had retained you without permission and not from my orders have been suspended and pending review, with the high likelihood of them having to find new jobs." Amelia had the look that showed how much she really thought about the fools who made her work harder without proper reasons. "It would appear they had taken the word of Dumbledore over mine despite the fact he no longer has any authority over them since losing his position as the Chief Warlock, and did not bother following procedures to the matter."

"At least you are handling it." Harry answered. Amelia merely nodded but it was clear that she would rather not have to do it in the first place. From what little he had gathered, the Aurors in question were from the last batch before the ICW came in, and they were somewhat entitled brats who got in by their family names and were the types that followed Dumbledore's every word without question.

"We have made sure the students are made aware of your circumstances. Even though it was done publicly with your oath and recordings, there are some who still believe you to be involved for some reason, so we made sure to dispel the rumors and cut them off before they take hold." Amelia continued. "At least Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw are in order. Slytherin seems to be somewhat fine, but Gryffindor appears to be the biggest dissenters."

"Most are still in denial about me not being in that house." Harry had to shrug at their reaction. "They seemed to really want to make me out as the carbon copy of my parents, or at least my father because of those blasted sorry books."

"Still having trouble stopping them all?" Amelia sighed with him a little, knowing all too well the issues of people dragging their heels to acknowledge issues.

"Most are willing to pay loyalties and make sure the books are classified as fiction. Some are claiming that they do have permission, and they do not want to sign the contract, so my solicitor is taking them to court." Harry answered, knowing that she was partially involved with this since two of the companies involved with those blasted story books had been making enough noise to attract the DMLE.

"Returning to the primary topic, we would like to request for your aid to check with Hogwarts if she could alert the Aurors here in the event of another attack, or an impending attack." Amelia spoke as she glanced in the direction of the ward room. "It would be great if we can get faster updates."

"I could ask her." He barely spoke when he felt the familiar pressure on his shoulders and the poking of his cheek, and then the feeling of someone messing with his hand. "Okay, she agrees."

"What was that?" Amelia shook a little from the pressure that descended on her.

"That would be Hogwarts, that is how she tries to get our attention." Harry answered.

"Is that so?" The older woman could not help shivering again at the sensation that came from that. She did not really notice it previously due to the incidents going on, but this time the weight that came down on her shoulders felt like she was an ant standing before a giant tsunami that threatened to swallow her, and she got the impression she was being judged when in regards to the Potter boy in front of her. "In any case, thank you. At least we can get some advance notice."

"Okay. Care to stick around for lunch?" Harry offered when Dudi appeared with some of the food for the others. Susan and Dudi looked hopeful while Amelia looked a little hesitant to accept.

"Please~"

Ah, the dreaded pleading of a niece. Harry and the Auror guards silently watched the inevitable breakdown of the older woman's resolve at Susan's tone.

"Maybe a cup of tea would do, and if possible some bites for my guards as well?" Dudi nodded and popped away, with said items appearing shortly after for them. Susan wasted no time to grab Amelia and dragged her to the others so that she could introduce her awesome aunt to her.

Harry went to a different door and walked through, finding himself inside the ward room where he had been beckoned to by Hogwarts. "Is something the matter?"

At this, he went into his mental landscape with the avatar waiting for him. She started to do her usual gesturing and displaying of images, only this time it included the shadowy form of something large and serpentine moving about them with glowing eyes. The sounds it gave out was something that sent shivers down his spine and set off alarms in his head. "Is this the creature attacking us?"

Hogwarts nodded before pointing to the familiar form of a book shrouded in shadows, and then a small figure holding it in their hands, but this time showing some type of cloud hovering above with lines attached to them like a puppet, and a face barely seen in the cloud with red eyes. From the same cloud, a long line reached out to connect with the serpent. "It is this object that is doing it. Can you tell me more?" The avatar frowned and shook her head, making him sigh.

"Well, at least we have a clue. Thank you, Hogwarts." Harry tried to assure the avatar. "It would be nice if you could come out in person, I'm sure the others would love to meet you." The last thing he saw before he left the space was the thoughtful pout directed at him as though she was thinking of something.

Enough of that though, he needed to tell Amelia Bones what Hogwarts was trying to warn him.

~ooOOoo~

Tracey Davis huffed as she got through the Slytherin Common Room and into the relative safety of the female dorms, a little irritated by the latest attempt from an older boy who did not understand the meaning of the word "No". She had to hex him a few times for him to get it, and then it took the special protections she had on her to finally push him off, literally in this case.

And then there were the attempts by those outside of Slytherin house who were looking at her like she was going to bite them or curse them, all because of the stupid mentality that all Slytherins were evil wizards hellbent on taking over the world and were starting some attack in the castle that saw Ronald Weasley petrified. Tracey looked at the bracelet she had on her and let out a sigh. She was really glad to have this on her since some of the spells thrown at her were clearly not the friendly types, and would have seen her in the hospital if not for the barrier activating to block or reflect them accordingly.

And she had Harry Potter to thank for this wonderful gift.

Meeting Harry the way she did was quite the unusual blessing. She recalled the story books about him over the years (one being in her house to her embarrassment), compared them to the real one, and found them wanting. He was not some prince charming that would come to save the day (and she would deny that she had ever fantasised about it growing up, especially after the actual saving, thank you!), and certainly not a reckless Gryffindor brought up on the words of Dumbledore to hate all Slytherins and dark houses. The proof was how he interacted with the different houses and particularly Draco Malfoy, and how he and his group created the Joint Room and Union Corridor. Harry was so much better in person, and she was not saying just because he had saved her from the troll attack.

He was interesting in a weird way, and it certainly made her life more interesting. And she would not mind wanting to know him better.

"You look cheerful, Davis."

Tracey blinked and turned to find her roommate who was seated on her bed, which made her feel a little conscious with the manner those storm blue eyes were looking at her. "Hi, Greengrass."

Daphne Greengrass, Heiress Primary for the Ancient and Noble House of Greengrass. A girl who was currently the top ranking student for her year in Slytherin and effectively in the top 10 overall for the current year group. She was also gaining the reputation of being the Ice Princess of Hogwarts because of her decidedly cold demeanour towards those trying to interact with her, and likely to be promoted to Ice Queen once the reigning student graduated this year. Many of the boys in Slytherin House learned very quickly not to antagonize her, and for those who pushed, well they would need to visit Madam Pomfrey to thaw out body parts.

Tracey's father was a business associate with Cynus Greengrass, Daphne's father, so they more or less knew each other growing up. That said, it was a little bit hard to converse with Daphne with the manner she spoke at times. Tracey was admittedly a little intimidated by Daphne because she seemed so cold, partially due to the girl having taken to Occlumency like a duck to water, and she used it to keep her emotions in check among people she was not used to. But having learned Occlumency so young meant the girl was almost logical with her thinking to the point of being dismissive, and that made conversations very awkward.

Tracey honestly had a better time conversing with Astoria over the years, and she was two years younger than them with a limited vocabulary before they came to Hogwarts.

Another thing that intimidated her was the girl's blossoming beauty. Daphne inherited the French and Italian genes from her mother's side of the family, who was often compared to Veelas with her natural beauty, and that showed how much she was already gaining attention from some of those seeking to have an "in" with the Greengrass family. Cyrus was currently running a tight ship around his two daughters, but it was clear that Daphne had the brains and the beauty to be the prime catch for any male Heir. Tracey was "cute" by some who had met her, but she was often compared to Daphne and it did give her a touch of inferiority complex about her appearance.

So yes, right now she was not sure how to properly interact with Daphne who got up from her bed and made her way to hers.

"I just got back from my study group, that's all." Tracey put on her usual peppy expression while answering. Daphne let out a soft hum as her eyes laid on the bracelet.

"That is the bracelet that Potter made for the Joint Room." She spoke as a fact. "The one that has the protections for the bearer and grants them access to the room."

"Yes." Tracey was wondering why she was confirming it. The Ice Princess and likely future Ice Queen looked up with her stormy blue eyes set on her.

"I would like to meet with Potter. Can you introduce us?"

Oh dear, why was she getting a bad feeling from this?


Author's Notes:

Happy New Year to you all! It took me longer than I wanted, but I got a new chapter for this story. No action for now but I am getting there.

2024 was a really messed up year for me, so things got a little crazy. I was also dealing with my MHA story in AO3 since my creative juices are getting active for that anime. I do hope to get more chapters out for this one and the other stories for FF.

Until then, take care.
