Quick authors note: You people are absolutely crazy! Mad! Lunatics!! How could you have reviewed that… drivel and told me it was good? No, really, HOW? OMFG. You should have boycotted! You should have screamed from the top of your lungs that THAT IS CRAP and YOU DON’T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH IT. I’m appalled. You’re nuts!! You have to raise your standards! AUGH. Anyway. The last time I worked on this at all was four years ago (2oo7!!!) and in the first place, I have improved MASSIVELY as a writer. I’m just writing privately now instead of publically. In the second, this rewrite will have very little to do with that pile of scheisse that was the ‘original.’ Seriously. I deeply, deeply apologise for putting you through that, and I hope you find that this is a better story on every count. Also, if you have never read the original, DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND DO NOT. I wrote it, and I am utterly, utterly appalled at myself. I can’t believe I wrote it, much less POSTED IT ONLINE. I am very sorry. Please forgive me, and read this one instead.

Seating himself at the Gryffindor’s table in the Great Hall, Harry looked around and was faintly amused to see that nearly the entire Hall was empty. Hogsmeade weekends were the best, and most of the students had gone down early to avoid the incoming snow. Ron and Hermione left him behind by his own request – he figured they needed some time alone to work out whatever was going sour between them. He hoped. They were his best friends after all – they couldn’t break up. He didn’t want to be in the middle of them, like Hermione during fourth year, and with the Horcrux hunt looming up on them like a shadow, he needed them to be together, for moral support if nothing else.
He was distracted then by a commotion from the Slytherin table, and glanced up to see Malfoy with two empty cups held against the side of his head, evidently doing an impression of something that had the entire table in stitches. Harry smiled to himself, and was turning back to his breakfast when one of the younger students – a Hufflepuff by the look of her – accidentally tripped over her robes and splashed him with something she’d been carrying in a cauldron.
She screamed. “I’m so sorry!” She whipped out her wand, reminding Harry that he’d forgotten his in his room. “Please, I’m sorry,” she said again. “Let me try to clean it up, we just learned this –” and before he could protest, she’d cast a cleaning charm. Most of the potion vanished, and Harry awkwardly patted her on the head.
“There, there,” he said. “All gone, no harm done. Er.” The last because her eyes had begun to tear up.
She sniffled. “I can’t believe I just dumped my Potions project –” sniff. “All over Harry Potter!” Nearly hyperventilating, she dropped her cauldron and fled from the room. Harry snorted quietly, not sure whether to be appalled or amused by her reaction. The potion had been cleaned from his shirt, and he wanted to get to the library soon to begin researching the Horcruxes again, so he pushed the incident from his mind and turned back to his food. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Snape bearing down on him like the wrath of God and braced himself for an unpleasant confrontation.
Only he never found out what Snape was going to say, because his vision dipped and swirled crazily, and his hearing dimmed, and the last thing he was aware of was a growing crowd of students surrounding him, all shouting agitatedly, except he couldn’t hear them. The world went dark around him.

You guys really had some fantastic comments about the original. I’d track you all down and personally email you if I thought I could. I just wanted to apologise again, and thank those of you who encouraged the original. It redefined horrible, but the idea is pretty good (or at least, where I’m taking it now is. HAHAHAHAHAaaa…koff.) Anyway. I love writing for the H/D section, because you’re all fantastic. Any old readers (thrnbrooke, I’m waiting for your review) welcome back, please tell me what you think of the revised version, and any new readers, for the love of whatever you hold dear don’t read the original. Also, welcome. I hope you enjoy this. 8D

PS: I'll hopefully have the next chapter or two up today. I'm writing them as soon as I'm done with this, but I wanted to get this up just in case my internet goes out again, so ya'll know what's up with me.
