You guys know what this is about. If you don't, read the chapter title and it is pretty cut and dry.

I am putting this story on a hiatus, or rather as I like to put it, a discontinued state. At least until I can rewrite it.

The reasons for this are the following:

1. I am not happy with where this story is going.

I have had a pretty good picture of how the story should start, how it should feel when you read it, and how the story would end. And I think I kind of got how it should start right. But the last few chapters I wrote and published pushed the story into a direction it shouldn't have gone. And this brings me to the next reason.

2. Harry, as the main character, isn't acting as he should be in the intended story.

The way Harry is acting now isn't really the way he should be acting, and the way he is described to be like at the beginning of the story. He is kind of acting like a manipulative Tom Riddle would have when he was a teen. And that isn't how Harry is supposed to act. Yes, I want a parallel to Tom, but I want to show that he is just hurting from his childhood and that that plus years as a Slytherin has taught him that the way to survive in this world, is to hide and never show your emotions. And with the way he is right now, to suddenly make him that way, would be bad storytelling.

3. No motivation to continue.

So, why aren't I just rewriting it, when it comes to March and I have to write on this anyway? Well, let me tell you. I don't have time, nor patience in my head to do that. I am under a lot of pressure right now. School has started up again, I am on a strict diet, my dad is very sick and seems to be getting worse, and to top it off, I am going to a psychologist which also fills up a lot of time. Therefore, it is easier for me to stop this now and look back at it later.

I am sorry to disappoint you, but I have to be selfish and do what I think is best for not only me but also for this story.

Again, I am truly sorry,
