So I'll address the elephant in the room - I haven't updated in 5 years.

I could ramble on about how I've been busy and had so much to do that I never had a chance to update, but I won't lie to you all. I genuinely have no idea what to do with this story. I've re-read it and I don't think anyone can deny that its full of plot holes and is pretty poorly written. I won't knock my writing style at 14/15 years old too much, but since then I've learnt a lot, and if I were to update this now it wouldn't match the rest of the story at all. In all honesty, I could completely rewrite the whole thing to improve the quality of the writing and fix all the mistakes I made on the first go, but I don't actually think the storyline has much merit either and I cringed when I read it through recently. I think my only option now is to abandon this story. I understand that many of you really liked this fanfiction, but I just can't go forward with this when I don't like it myself.

I think with all the fanfiction I have read to this point, I would prefer to write about Harry's slow progression to the dark side, instead of making him plain evil from the beginning. I wouldn't bash characters to the extreme as I did in this story either.

I am really sorry that this is the update you're getting after 5 years of waiting, but it is how its got to be. If you do want me to try and write a new harrymort fanfiction that does delve into Harry's darker side in a more natural and progressive way, then please let me know and I'll try to give everyone a story that is worth reading.

Thank you for all your support and sticking with me even after all these years.

Love you all,
