Chapter 2

The girl woke first.

The alerted Albus had decided to place both strangers in the hospital wing and not involve the Ministry for now. While Sirius had argued that this wasn’t safe - his friend was a tiny bit paranoid - Severus had agreed that two wandless, unconscious teenagers didn’t constitute a threat to Hogwarts. So Sirius had left to

Ooh, I wonder what Hermione whispered to Albus... Nice to see Severus with friends in this universe, and I look forward to seeing what the differences are in the Lestranges, Malfoys, Pettigrew, Regulus Black, Kreacher, and even Voldemort. I've never seen a story in which Snapey was less able at dueling than Sirius. Can you write faster? (heh! hadda ask...) Thanks for updating.

Actually, you're in luck with that! This is an edited repost of the story - the first 28 chapters (of about 31) are already up on my fanfiction.net account. So if you don't want to wait for the updates on livejournal (or ao3, where it's also being archived), you can just head here:

Happy reading, and thanks for the praise!

Wait.... you mean there are three more chapters but the ff.net story hasn't been updated in over a year?

[lioness_kayly]

No, I believe it's "Had I Known" you're thinking about. This is actually a different story, although "Had I Known" will hopefully be updated again, soon. But this one's up to chapter 29 by now, and will be finished over the next few weeks…

Omigosh.... I finally read the last post of 'Had I Known.' I am so sorry about your husband's death. I had no idea what you were going through. It is so difficult to face the loss of a loved one; I was in professional therapy for months after my mother died. That was years ago and I still miss her, still have a hole in my heart.

I cannot imagine how difficult it is for you to write these stories with characters dying, while you recover from your own grief. *HUGS* You just take care of your own needs first. If there is anything we can do, say something - post it here on LJ or send a private message through LJ.
