Arthur’s note: Sorry about how long and possibly confusing this note will be, but I just have to explain a few things. (Warning: I will be rambling) Firstly, I am sorry about the wait between chapters. My life has suddenly become extremely hectic, leaving me little time to organize my story.
Second, and most importantly, this chapter isn’t exact in terms of the dates. I know that according to OotP, Professor McGonagall was teaching for 39 years, and that she started in December, so technically, the time does not fit together all that accurately…but considering the fact that Remus, Sirius and James were approx. 21 or 22, when Voldemort killed Lily and James...then Professor McGonagall had been teaching at Hogwarts about 28 years then; at least 17 years before Remus started Hogwarts; 7 years before he was born. This confused me, because according PoA, Dippet died after Remus was born, and before he attended school. My logic behind my story is based on the following facts and inferences: Professor Dumbledore was Professor of Transfiguration; Professor McGonagall started in December rather than September…the only explanation I could think of, was that Professor Dippet died in December, Professor Dumbledore became Headmaster, and Professor McGonagall took his place as Professor of Transfiguration. Unfortunately, this does not fit seamlessly with the calculations based on other information in the book…so I decided to sacrifice date accuracy to fit into detail accuracy. With the information I have, I figured it would make more sense to write the story as thus. If I really am off in any of my reasoning, please let me know, and I will attempt to fix it, regardless of how much I have to change. One thing I really want in my writing is accuracy according to JK Rowling’s actual work.
