Here is the betaed work of chapter 85 of The Odds were never in my favour, which will be posted soon on fanfiction.net. 

I worked a lot on the chapter after First Task this week, so the moment was perfect from my perspective for verifying the corrections and everything.

I have not yet begun a new writing session right now, but the story which will get my focus next week in all likelihood will be The End of Times.

Enjoy!

You know who Lyudmila Romanov reminds me of, especially in this chapter? Leo Black: they're both arrogant, spoiled brats, only she has the power to back her attitude and actions, at least thus far. I have a theory about how Alexandra might defeat her, but just in case I'm right, I won't post it here and potentially spoil anyone.

I have, I think, written enough posts about it, both by PM and by personal mail, to not answer this anymore...unless you mean the next chapter update...in this case, I can tell you the betas have not finished their work. Let them catch their breath, a 50000+ word-long chapter doesn't correct itself...

In appearance, they certainly seem to be. Deep inside...ahem...not really. Since I don't want to spoil anything, let just say Leo Black's life before the last year was truly the good life compared to the Dark Queen. As for your theory, if you want to ask, it's what PM are for.

Thanks for the chapter. After reading this chapter, and the teased chapter 86 I keep getting the bizarre feeling that in some ways Lyudmila is trying to be 'friends with Alex, but is really, really bad at it. I realise that it's unlikely, but it just struck me and refuses to vacate my mind and it amused me greatly. I do hope that we get to see that ritual room in the villa used at some point in the future (and Dumbledore's eventual explosion when he finds out about the rooms). Anyway, glad to hear your writing the chapter after the first task and making progress.

Hello Antony! As my curiosity is endless and cannot be sated I have yet more questions for you! As I am rereading the whole story these are sadly not related to this chapter but instead are for earlier chapters so sorry if this bothers you (I also have one complaint/suggestion as well) The first question is this: It is confirmed that, as of the 2nd year there are 8 potential lords and ladies among the students. I am not going to ask you who they are (well alright I am but I don’t expect you to tell) but I am going to ask if we have been introduced to all of them. Ginny and Alexandra are certainly Ladies of Magic and Neville might be a lord but that leaves 5 and I would like to know if we have been introduced to them or if some are not in the story yet. My second question is related to the first. Ginny is actually one of the more powerful characters in the story and possibly the second most powerful character in the Exiled but we have not been shown her power in action yet. Is that going to happen any time soon or will we be waiting along time? My third question is about Snape. What is he going to do in this story? In canon he joined Dumbledores side because of his love for Lily Evans but here she was (indirectly) killed by the Light and Voldy never had any great reason to kill her so why is he with Dumbledore here? What’s his relations with Alex going to be? Its shown that he admires her and views her as her mother daughter instead of her fathers and Lily is alive here so how will that affect things? Will Lily convince him to go turncoat for the Exchequer? Will he join or ally with the Exiled? What are you going to do with Snape? And lastly, my complaint/suggestion. In the early middle of the story there are several chapters that the Beta readers haven’t retroactively betaed and it honestly shows. The grammar is weird and confusing, having odd things like “negative nod” referring to shaking your head and other things that, while not strictly wrong grammar is very odd and kind of breaks the flow of the story a bit. I understand that these are your earlier works (your writing has improved a lot your unbetaed stuff read really smoothly and well and the betas only improve it) but I think that it is worth having the betas going over some of the unbetaed middle chapters when they have the time (or even doing it yourself if you feel like it) as I think it would really improve the quality of the work. Anyway, thank you for reading (and hopefully answering my questions) and sorry about the giant complaint section (I tried to be as polite as I can and I understand if you just want to dismiss it it’s your work) and have a good day/night/evening/whenever you’re reading this.

Sorry, but you have broken your alloted number of questions (grin). In all seriousness, I understand your enthusiasm, but there are things I'm not going to comment upon, not where every reader can see the information, and not when it will spoil quantities of surprises.
