Author Note Dec 2020: Welcome to The Lost Horcrux - The Author's Edition!
Happy New Year guys, and welcome to the 2021 update of Lost Horcrux!
Despite the divisive nature of this fic, I still feel it is one of my best works, but my recent Welsh translation on another site flagged up many areas in which it could be tidied up, rewritten and improved, so I have embarked on a mammoth re-work project for this story.
To start, I have decided to return the story to English with a new and improved structure and some pretty new cover art. My thanks to the highly talented Sima from the Harmony FB page, who came up with the initial design when I was still a member there. Some of the chapters of the original story were stupidly long, so I am chopping them up into smaller chunks to improve readability. To date, the first 8 original chapters have been extended into 15 ... and that trend is likely to continue. But the story will benefit from tighter focus, less density per chapter, and I can already see improvements myself. For anyone who read the original, you might find some newness in the updates, but overall the story will essentially be the same with no major deviations from the initial plot.
Now, if you are new to the story, please, PLEASE heed the disclaimers on each chapter. They are there for good reason and I will offer no apology for content if you continue beyond this point and take offence, as many have done in the past. This story has some VERY DARK moments and themes so please, PLEASE avoid if you are easily triggered, squeamish or of a delicate nature. If any of these apply to you, this story is not one you should read and you should click the close icon right now. This is my darkest work by a million miles, but I try not to repeat the same style over and over in my stories. I have some very light and fluffy fics in my portfolio as a contrast to this, so feel free to check those out if this is too heavy for you.
So, with that all said, lets get into The Lost Horcrux 2.0!

My apologies to anyone in the middle of reading as I post this update. I am sorry if I've confused you with the chapter changes mid-read, but the full, original version can still be found on my Archive of Our Own account, if you wish to continue the story there. I am working as fast as I can to edit and post the updates. Thanks for your patience
