Evening all,
It's relatively early for me, which is good as I'm not feeling great and really need to go to bed shortly.
As promised before my holiday, this week sees the start of a major new story called Family. It includes a chapter I once posted on both FF.Net and Lumos under the title ‘The Children’ (now removed). It was a snippet of a much larger idea for a story I hadn’t yet written and wasn’t sure if I ever would. I have changed the chapter considerably, but it now forms part of this story; this is just a warning in case you read the original and get a sense of deja vu.
It starts in the school holidays between Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows and follows Hermione as she adjusts to life with a new family after Death Eaters kill her parents. But who is the mysterious person who saved her life and promised to look after her?
‘Don’t worry, my sweet, I’ll look after you.’ These words should have been a comfort to Hermione, grieving after the murder of her parents by Death Eaters. Instead, they signalled the start of a terror far worse.
WARNING: This story involves non-consensual behaviour and the consequences of such acts including self-harm, suicidal behaviour and alcoholism. Please do not read if this is likely to be a trigger or if you find such descriptions disturbing. Dx
I have taken a chance and posted this on FF.Net because although it deals with disturbing subject matter it isn't particularly graphic; most of the really nasty scenes are left to the imagination. I, therefore, believe that this sits under the site's 'M' rating, which I think means you can read it if you're over sixteen.
I very much hope you enjoy the story and would love to receive reviews, kudos and comments.
I'll see you next week for chapter two; by which time I hope I'm feeling significantly recovered.

Good evening everyone,
So we survived the election, although right now I'm not sure if it's better or worse than it was before - better, I think, at least hopefully in the long term (and I'm talking by the time of the second election that must surely be only a few months away).
Anyway, enough about all that let's get on to the important stuff, shall we?
This week in Legend of the Wolf, dastardly Lucius is really putting poor Hermione through it, but will she finally crumble and give in to his demands? Read on to find out.
There seem to be a fair number of people reading the story, despite it not being a traditional pairing, but sadly, as usual, I'm not receiving much feedback so I don't know if people are enjoying it or not.
Hopefully, the fact that I haven't received any critical reviews or trolls means they are. If you're enjoying the story I'd really love a comment or some kudos. That sort of thing keeps us writers going, you know, and really cheers our day.
After that shameful plea, I'm off to do a bit of writing before bed.
I'll see you next week when the outcome of Hermione's choice will be examined in greater detail.
Have a good week and enjoy reading.

Hi everyone,
Unfortunately, it appears there has been another terrorist attack on London this evening, and not wanting to dwell on yet more death and destruction or read comments from those determined to fan the flames even higher, I thought it was time to retreat here and post the latest chapter of Legend of the Wolf.
This week, Lucius continues to be suspiciously nice to Hermione, but you know she isn't going to be fooled by his behaviour, especially when it can't last forever. Lechery and sexual harassment abound but our girl is staying strong and resolute.
I hope you're enjoying the story so far. If so, a comment or kudos would be gratefully received. It's nice to know when people are enjoying your work.
On a separate an unrelated note, for those of you in the UK, this Thursday is election day. Please make sure you go out and vote (or even spoil your ballot paper if you really can't face choosing any of the parties open to you, and the Pirate Party isn't available in your area).
I'm not going to try to persuade you to vote one way or another, only you know what is likely to be best for your personal circumstances and the future the country has ahead of us, so only you can make that choice regardless of how everyone else around you feels.
But if you don't vote, then not only do you waste your voice and don't have the right to criticise when things go from bad to worse, but you are actually part of the problem.
You think your vote doesn't count - it does. In some areas, the voting is so close it would take very few people to completely swing it. But even in those areas that seem unbeatable, you are standing up to be counted. You are telling the Government that they need to take you and the policies you're interested in seriously. So please, go to the polling station on Thursday and make the Government take notice.
But whatever you do this week and wherever you are, stay safe and keep the faith.
Until next week.

Morning all,
There's a lovely storm building up here so I thought it was a good time to get on with posting the next chapter of my story because I'm never going to get to sleep with all the thunder and lightning.
This week we've moved into the past to see what happened to Hermione to cause her problems with Lucius, and ultimately with Fenrir.
I don't have much else to say as it's late (early) and I'm knackered, except reviews and kudos are always appreciated, particularly if you're enjoying the story (which I hope you are) - and yay, I got a review :)
Oh, also, have you seen the teaser trailer for the new Tom Riddle origin film called 'Voldemort: Origins of the Heir' that's in production yet? It looks pretty good and I can't wait to see more of it.
Until next week.

Hi all,
So here's the penultimate chapter of Guilty Secret.
I really don't know what to say except . . . Sorry.
See you tomorrow for the last chapter.
