Preface

Let me start off by thanking you for reading this. Chances are you found the summary interesting and decided to read, or you have read the prequel to this story -The Real Me.

If you have not read the prequel, no worries. You will still understand what happens in the story, though you will have a better understanding if you have, and may not get some of the jokes. This story takes place in Hermione and co's seventh year, but will have lots of flashbacks to sixth year.

A brief disclaimer:

Disclaimer: This story is based on characters and situations created and owned by J.K. Rowling, various publishers including but not limited to Bloomsbury Books, Scholastic Books, Raincoast Books, and Warner Bros., Inc. No money is being made and no copyright or trademark infringement is intended. The following characters are original characters made up by me, so please do not use them in your stories without my express permission: Amethyst Carlton, Emerald Carlton-O'Keefe, Calvin O'Keefe (though the name is borrowed from a series by Madeleine L'Engle), Victoria Carlton-O'Keefe, Jonathan Carlton-O'Keefe, Lila Malfoy, Sapphire Carlton, Ruby Carlton, Trinity Delotry and Satine Black.

It may seem like I have a lot of original characters, but I really don't. None of them are what I consider to be a Mary Sue, though some people might consider a few finely treading the line. Before you ask about my strange fascination of people with names of jewels - don't, it is part of my plot (strangely enough).

Now I'd like to thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon. Without further ado, click the button to go onto the next chapter, and I present, The Prologue!

Lots of love,

-Eliza
