Good evening everyone,
By some miracle I've made it before midnight again (this is becoming a bit of a habit!)
Anyway, it's time for another chapter in the ongoing saga of Hermione's depressing life that is called Family.
After last week's terrible conclusion I'm glad to say that things are finally looking up for Hermione . . . but will it last? Only time will tell.
It feels quite good not to have to post any warnings for a change.
I'm quite excited as one of my readers has asked if she can translate the story into Chinese, which would significantly widen the audience. Obviously, I agreed.
I'm also pleased to see that I'm getting quite a collection of reviews and comments about the story - please continue posting them, I always appreciate hearing about people's thoughts on it and any of my other works.

Family - Part Two - Chapter One
Good evening everyone.
I've managed to get posted early for once so hopefully I might get a decent night's sleep tonight, instead of my usual trick of trying to get my brain to work enough to post at three in the morning.
This week sees the start of the second part of Family and moves the story on about four years. Hermione is now working for the Ministry of Magic and is in a daily battle against depression following on from her captivity at Malfoy Manor.
*WARNING* This chapter contains references to alcoholism, self-harm and suicidal behaviour, so if this is likely to affect you please don’t read it.
I know this story has been relentlessly grim so far and seems to be getting worse but it does improve eventually, believe me. Hermione is suffering severe mental illness after her isolation and abuse and that doesn't go away overnight. Unfortunately, mental illness is a lifelong battle with ups and downs so this story is going to reflect that.
As always, reviews, comments and kudos are appreciated.
Have a good week.

Family - Part One - Chapter Six
Morning all,
Another quickie as I don't really have much to say.
In today's chapter of Family things finally get better for Hermione, but not until they have got worse. Surely, it can only improve from now on in, can't it?
I hope you're enjoying the story. If so, a review, comment or kudos would be appreciated.
Until next week.

Family - Part One - Chapter Five
Evening all,
It's that time again, the unveiling of the latest chapter of my story, Family. I did post a warning at the beginning of the story explaining that it wasn't going to be all rainbows and unicorns but it seems that I need to post a reminder.
*WARNING* This story contains non-consensual acts, alcoholism, severe depression, self-harm and suicide attempts among other things, so it's not suitable for anyone who finds this sort of writing a trigger.
Also, this story isn't suitable for those who don't like a nasty Death Eater Lucius (he really isn't a fluffy anti-hero in this story, he's exactly the sort of insane person you would expect after spending time locked away in Azkaban with the Dementors).
Anyway, enough of warnings and onto the story.
Can things possibly get any worse for poor old Hermione? The answer is yes, of course they can. It's time for Draco to make a stand.
As ever, reviews, Kudos, comments etc. are always appreciated particularly if you're finding the story interesting.
I hope you have a good week and enjoy reading whatever you're reading - please feel free to make recommendations. I'm always open to new stories (fanfic or not).
Keep safe and keep the faith.

Family - Part One - Chapter Four
Hi everyone,
I'm back from LeakyCon and completely shattered after an awesome weekend, but I have managed to update Family before I head off to bed. I'm keeping it short as my brain has packed up with tiredness.
This week things aren't getting any better for poor Hermione, and not even Draco can help her this time.
See you next weekend.
