Huntress' Haven

Ok here's the prologue of a story that just won't leave me alone... Chapter 1: Harry stepped excited into the sitting room in the newly renovated Grimmuald Place looking at his adopted sister with trepidation and more than a little bit of excitement . He starts once he has her complete attention, “Dee, you know how Remus and I have been going thru all the family records?” She looks at him curiously, “Yes, were you able to find out anything interesting?” Grinning and bouncing in his seat unable to stay still he answers, “I have to say yes. Yes I did and not just for myself either.” Smiling at his excitement she demands, “Ok then Harry spill! What did you discover that has you imitating a Mexican jumping bean on a hot tin roof?” “Well, and I have checked and double checked my facts so they are true, I have found that you and I both do have living family and I don’t mean the Dursley’s either. I have a second cousin living in America. His name is Caleb Potter. You have ...

I told Walmart where to get off.... so I am recently unemployeed. It actually did make me feel better of course the underlying problems are still there and I am working with my doctor to find out exactly what's going on. In case you've missed the info... I have been having severe 3 day migranes and periods of weekness. I get the flu or food poisioning about every other week.  Walmart toldme I could only be sick 3 days a year... and that I already had one foot out the door since I'd already been counciled about too many absences. 

Mom's funeral went well... I only broke down badly at the end. I was really glad that my uncle managed to get in from texas and that Aunt Dot and Aunt Millie were there and all the cousins too. It's good to know that so many people really loved Momma. I've even been able to sort through some of her things now...its still really hard even though I know it needs to be done. Now about my story... I think I know where the next step is going so keep your eyes open. If it doesn't fit there it will become a new story because this idea has been driving me nuts for a few days.

Mom gets buried tomorrow, I'm not sure if I am ready for it or not. Most of the time I can remain steady but some things... like my little grandson pounding on her bedroom door screaming for her set me to crying so fast. How do you explain to a 2 year old that his Nanny isn't in there any more and won't ever be again??? I see things on TV or at the store ( I had to go buy a freaking dress for the funeral) and they instantly make me thing I've got to tell Mom about that. I've been told that it gets better... I sure hope so but honestly I don't believe a word they say.

my Mother was hospitalized a little over a week ago... we thought it would be another pneumonia or something equally simple to deal with. Well it wasn't. It turned out to be Lung Cancer. Not a week after the diagnosis she's gone. Yes GONE as in never going to hold my hand or hugs. Not there to say good night or have a good day at work. Gone.

Disclaimer: I do not now nor have I ever owned any part of the Potterverse. I just occasionally play in J. K. Rowling’s playground. I have not and have never made any money from my efforts. A/N - Here is a short UNBeta'd update and I apoligize for it taking so long. Hopefully I will have another for you soon; unfortunately my Mother was just hospitalized and we still don't know her prognosis but I take the computer with me when i sit with her and write. Chapter 17 – Books, Translations and the Future Harry after handing his notes over to Rabastian sat down with another very large tome that would have had Hermione drooling had she seen it and started taking extensive notes. Rabastian went over Harry’s notes and translations looking for any discrepancies and found none. On the third day when they were suppose to give their report to the Dark Lord; Rabastian finally decides to ask Harry some personal questions. Impressed Rabastian states, “You’ve done an excellent ...

I ended up going over my managers head but I got my transfer out of chemicals... THANK YOU YAE GODS!!!!!! I went the entire weekend feeling great with no sniffles, sorethroat...very little headache. It was freaking wonderful to finally get in a full week!!!

I am having the hardest time writing the next chapter of Return... I know what I want to happen and have start but I honestly have no clue how to get it written. I guess it doesn't help that the tension here at home is so thick that you can cut it with a knife... I wish money flowed a little easier and that my job wasn't such a pain in the arse... although I did go over my managers head and talk to the store's Co-Manager and hopefully that department transfer is in the works... I have NOT abandoned my story... I just don't know how to say what I'd like to see happen give me time... maybe another interlude then school will likely start up again... I really need to push dumbledore into letting Tom Riddle (perhaps in a long term disguise) teach at Hogwarts.... HMMMMM

Chapter 16 – The Ever Changing World Tom watched Harry from the door… Harry was looking over some very old unique maps that he’d acquired from the True Elves. These maps were special in that they showed the magic lines (what some called ley lines) and power wells. It was interesting to him that Hogwarts was built not only on top of a power well but at the conjunction point of several ley lines. Harry feeling like he was being watched looked up and seeing Tom smiled, “Hey Tom, just the man I was hoping to see today. I’ve a couple of questions for you if you have the time.” “What’s on your mind Harry,” Tom says while taking a seat at the table. “Well I started noticing a change in the magic around Hogwarts at the end of term last semester and I think I’ve discovered part of why,” Harry states slowly almost unwilling to share this knowledge. “What’s changing the magic Harry?” Spreading several maps across the table (not the ones from the Elves) Harry start...

I apologize that it's actually not long enough to really be considered a complete chapter... Chapter 15 The Dumbledore’s plan… In a secret secluded family manor near the shore Dumbledore and a select group of people were deeply engrossed in a meeting… a group that includes not only Hermione Granger and her mother Janice D. Granger, but her grandmother Phoebe Jane Dumbledore, her great uncle Bryan Gaylord Kennedy as well as a few others… Hermione sits down at the long conference table as she inquires, “Grandpa Albus do I have to keep pretending to be Muggleborn? I am so tired of not being allowed to show my true heritage.” With a deceptive twinkle in his eye and a placating smile Dumbledore replies, “Now Hermione dear you know your part in this is very important you must keep being Hermione Granger Muggleborn student girlfriend to Ronald Weasley, son of the muggle loving fools Arthur and Molly Weasley.” With a complete change in demeanor and expression the happ...

Well I've been working on chapter 17 and though I haven't gotten very far I have got a couple pages done... but I don't know if I should keep going in this direction or go harrining off in a different one... Chapter 17 – Books, Translations and the Future Harry after handing his notes over to Rabastian sat down with another very large tome that would have had Hermione drooling had she seen it and started taking extensive notes. Rabastian went over Harry’s notes and translations looking for any discrepancies and found none. On the third day when they were suppose to give their report to the Dark Lord Rabastian finally decides to ask Harry some personal questions. Impressed Rabastian states, “You’ve done an excellent job on these transcriptions Harry, have you ever thought of doing this type of work when the war is over?” Harry grimaced as he answers, “I’ve never given much thought to an actual career once the war is over till recently; and while translations and research do...

Well life has been anything but fun for the last 6 months. Ever since i was transferred to chemical at work I can't seem to stay healthy for more than a few days... and lately it's taking forever to get over each consecutive illness. I've been warned that I am due a talk about my absences ( and maybe threathened as well... Wally world isn't as friendly as they claim to employees). I've determinded that I am allergic to the chemicals and if I could transfer to any other department I'd probably be fine again... Walmart isn't cooperating. I am going to try and start writing again soon so brace yourself for either the next installment of Return of the Black Rose or the beginning of a new fanfic... which ever grabs my muse first.
