Sins of the Father Chapter 1

    Has started the beta process.

    *******************

    If there was one thing that the 18-year-old Harry Potter had become used to in his life, it was being lied to. Even those who called him their friend or, Merlin forbid, his family, regularly kept vital information from him for, as they described it, his own good.

    And today, sadly, was no exception to that rule.

    As he sat in the faded, but comfortable, high backed red leather chair opposite his godfather, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this latest occurrence. Or better still, just get up and leave.

    The window behind his godfather was filled with the orange glow of the late summer sun slowly sinking behind the horizon. He watched the dust motes dance chaotically in the golden beams as he waited for Black to provide more details. He bit his tongue as all he received from Black was a rakish grin that reminded him as to why he never bought his wand into meetings like this.

    Oh, you have so much to explain...

    A blurb and a prologue, and already I'm champing at the bit. Would sending your beta some virtual chocolate speed the process?

    Given that that is the

    Given that that is the person with the chapter on his male, I would say the answer is no.

    It is worth noting that in common with And on the Eighth Day?, a lot of the back story does not get explained in full. You just have to accept that is how it is. For once in my life though, the story is fully plotted and if you were to take me down the pub and bribe me with copious quantities of ale he probably gets chapter and verse from me.
