Hey guys! Thank you all for being so patient with me about this story. I'm pleased to announce that the first chapter of Countdown the sequel to this story is now posted. I know author's notes aren't supposed to be entire chapters, but I wanted to make sure that everyone that was so invested in the first short story would be able to learn about the sequel.

I would also like to address a plot point that someone pointed out. I had a moment of complete brain lapse and in Chapter 1 said Sirius was dead and then in Chapter 3 or 4 I included him as a character. I guess I just wanted to include his death as a well to tell that the story was set summer before sixth year, but I just enjoyed the jealous aspect that he could evoke from Severus. So I guess it's up to you, dear reader! I don't think I'll really be using Sirius in any of the remaining chapters, so I don't think that it matters much if he's dead or alive.

In any case, I'm rambling. From the absolute bottom of my heart, I think you all for your unending support with this story and I hope that you enjoy the sequel just as much as the first!
