Author's Note

Dear Reader,

This story takes place a few weeks after Ginevra Weasley's graduation from Hogwarts. The characters are probably a bit out of character, since it's been a while since I've read the books. I also apologize for any inconsistencies between my fanfiction and the events outlined in the books.

I have two warnings that I feel I should express here: First of all, I am a Ginny/Draco shipper. However, the second warning is that this is not a Ginny/Draco romance fanfiction.

If you enjoy this fanfic, I am planning a sequel to it that I may or may not write, depending on whether or not this one receives positive reviews. If you have questions, comments, suggestions, flames, etc., leave me a review and I will make an effort to respond to any and all (aside from flames, unless they're intelligent flames, which don't seem to crop up very often).

Yet another warning I feel I must issue is that I am American (woe is me), and since I have a limited knowledge of typical British slang, I've abandoned efforts to use it in this fanfic in favor of using what I know. Unfortunately that eliminates a little bit of the sense of authenticity, but it would be better for me to sacrifice that little bit of truth in favor of better writing.

One final note: I have long been in the process of attempting to write an original novel for publishing. If this fanfic gets reasonably good reviews, I may use parts of it as a base for my own book. Unfortunately for possible fans of this particular fic, I know from the fan's point of view that a publisher may force the deletion of it if parts of it are used in a published work (fans of Cassandra Clare's fanfiction series The Draco Trilogy will know what I mean, since her publisher asked her to remove that trilogy from the Internet when parts of it were used in the admittedly ingenious Mortal Instruments series, which, by the way, I highly recommend).

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy,

Adalia Peace
