Important AN! Rewrite!

I know I haven't updated this story in a long, long time, but there's a reason for it.

The story needed, and is currently getting, a rewrite. I am a little disappointed in it as it is now. It needs to be a lot better.

The first chapter is written and will be put up under the title A Familiar's Intuition(Rewrite). Please check it out and tell me what you think! I'll try to update chapters once a week/once every other week if I can. Once all current chapters of the old story are up in the rewrite, I'll take it down and the new version will replace it.

A Familiar's Intuition was my first Harry Potter story, and the first long story I've ever done, but I've come to see that it needs work. It needs fleshed out a lot more with both details and the development of characters as well as the background and past events to make the characters and plotline less one dimensional and so things make more sense. It still will be an Evil Dumbledore and Good Voldemort story and not a lot of the basic plot will change, but I need to flesh things out more, remove the scenes that are crap, and add new scenes and details that will make the story make more sense.

Another thing I'm going to change is Harry's characterization. He will still be timid and shy, and a sweet kid to those he cares about, and he still will be affected by the abuse and have panic attacks and nightmares, but he'll cry less and do more things. In the beginning, he'll be the same, but with Hercules's support, he will start to grow more confident and somewhat Slytherin-like much quicker in the story, though still with a Hufflepuff's heart when it comes to those he loves and trusts. He'll become more observant, and be very protective of Hercules to the point that he will do whatever it takes to keep his familiar safe, and both he and Hercules will figure out things together rather than Hercules figuring it all out by himself. I'm also going to work on developing the bond between the two so that it's even stronger, but also more like brothers rather than parent and child and so Harry does still need Hercules and loves and trusts his familiar more than anything, but is also not completely dependent on him like he is now. I really want Harry to develop more as a character than he has, and take a more active role in his own story.

Changes you can expect:

The format in the first three chapters being changed and them being longer and more detailed. Actually more detail in all chapters.

More into Hercules's past in chapter three and a longer conversation between him and Harry. Also, an annoying scene that I don't know why I made being removed.

Also, more moments when the two traveled together in the woods before being met by Hagrid. Harry will grow more confident during the two weeks.

Harry being more defensive and fighting alongside Hercules, hiding his fear when Hagrid appears.

More on Hagrid's backstory, also signs of obliviation and that he's starting to come out of it.

Harry still being friends with Draco, but being slightly less trusting of the adult Malfoys at first, though he will warm up to them.

Slight change in the scene where Harry meets Quirrell for the first time.

Hedwig appearing, though she'll probably won't be a familiar like Hercules is unless people want her to.

First chapter of the rewrite will be up soon after you see this note! Please review it, tell me what you think, and let me know if changes need to be made!
