Please forgive me for my errors and help me correct them.

Chapter Five has been published! Chapter Six has been started. I don't know if I will be able to update on time this week. I have staff training this Sunday, and I don't know if I will have internet access!

So apparently this last chapter didn't go over so well, and some people are upset about the ages in this story. I apologize, but I needed the characters to be the ages they are. It isn't reasonable to have a young (18 or younger) Harry knowing what he needs to know and doing what he needs to do in this story. Would it be believable to have a person who is just out of school or should even still be in school working freelance and succeeding at it? I also needed Severus to be 21 due to the story's timeline. He was only 21 years old in 1981 when Voldemort fell for the first time.

I'm sorry if this stops some of you from enjoying this story, but in my mind, it is necessary. I will try to make it up to you all.

Updates will be made every Sunday by 8:00 p.m.

An Account of Cost and Reward has been planned out through chapter twelve.

On a side note, I have accepted a very demanding Summer job. I am required to work 12 hours a day and be on call for another 10. I will only have about two hours of internet access a day starting on June 16th and so I am doing my best to build up a stock of chapters so updates do not slow down. I hope you will all bear with me through this period. The job ends sometime in mid August. I have two weeks to write almost 16 week's worth of chapters.
