The story has been edited and submitted for re-post. Lots of grammar changes an adjustment of Astrid's age but not her behavior with explanation of why. I can say that if a 50 page story took up most of my free time for 3 days I can't imagine how long it would take for one of my stories that is ten times that long. Good or bad news is most of them can be edited in the same way. So let me know what you think of the changes.
Happy Harry
