I am so sorry that it has been so long!
I don't think there's enough for me to apologize but I hope that I can start updating more and making up for all of my extremely late updates!
Also to any that do not know
I am absolutely honored to have been asked along with many other fanfiction authors to partake in writing a special for Charity. Many authors you probably love and cherish!
The Charity is for Leukemia in which, approximately every 4 minutes one person is diagnosed in the United States with a blood cancer. An estimated combined total of 137,260 people in the US will be diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma in 2011. New cases of leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma will account for 9.0 percent of the 1,529,560 new cancer cases diagnosed in the US this year.
They are going to be creating a compilation of one shots, outtakes, and new writing pieces from various fic authors from Twilight, Hunger Games, and Harry Potter to give to people who donate a minimum of $10 to the cause. Last year $7,000 was raised and for the first time, they are adding Harry Potter to the list of fanfictions, so I hope that maybe we can help raise it to the new goal of $15,000.
The Site is : on my profile
for any of those interesting in either donating or even writing a piece.
Will post again with more information as I find out more.
If you have any questions, I will try my best to answer them.
I have a shared twitter and tumblr now specifically for this if you want to follow myself or the charity

Nursing his drink, Draco related once more, this time to the doctor in charge, exactly what he did. Well him and Granger but it wasn't like as if he could tell the doctor that Granger had technically used transfiguration. Still the doctor before him was skeptical. They couldn't find his degree on any muggle medical records, and since he had told the waiter that he was a doctor, the hospital was treating him practically like some kind of crook. For saving a bloody person's life. Muggles.
"Sir, shouldn't you be checking up on the patient instead of grilling my… friend." Hermione interrupted the doctor's excessive questioning of Malfoy. However at "friend" both turned to look at her, all their attention on her. Both were looking rather apprehensively at her but for completely different reasons.
"Miss," The doctor paused.
"Granger." Hermione finished for him.
"Your," He once again paused making both Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger at this point, quite doubt his abilities.
"Friend," Hermione prompted this time.
"Is completely fine, despite the dire allergic reaction because of the quick actions taken, he is recovering well."
"Then, why are you still questioning my… friend when all he did was help, possibly saving my other friend's life?" Hermione asked in her utmost professional manner, though feeling slightly ridiculous at her repetition of friend.
"Well I, there are just many who think that because they read a few books or information on the internet and then believe they have the capability of taking medical actions without the training and"
At this point Draco stopped listening as he rubbed his temple. Why did he agree to come with the medic team? It wasn't like as if he had done some difficult procedure that they needed to question him on. Seriously. It wasn't like as if it wasn't awkward enough with seeing Granger on a date. "Excuse me but if the patient is recovering just fine, I believe that you no longer need me. And with that, I am sorry to say but I really must leave, my morning starts quite-" He said as eloquently as he could, all the while calling the so called doctor before him every synonym of idiot he knew, even in the three languages he was forced to learn when he was a child, only to be interrupted as two women came rushing towards them.
"Hermione, oh honey are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere? And Peter?" The dark haired woman hugged Granger before checking her all over.
"I'm fine Mum,"
And with them all being distracted, Draco Malfoy took that chance to toss his drink and make his escape. Getting out of the facility and away from any cameras, he finally apparated home.
!
Getting home, Draco was more than happy to take off his layers.
"Whoa man I don't want to see that much… not that I haven't seen all of it."
With that, Draco whirled around as he snatched his pants back on. "Bloody hell, Blaise, what are you doing here?"
"Actually I was here to get my jacket back from earlier this evening but then I was bored and realized all I had at home was a nice warm glass of firewhiskey so I decided to hang around and get the details from you."
"Details?" Draco questioned.
"Granger, duh Draco. Not about you. I don't need to know which Greengrass sister is to your fancy today. Half the time I wouldn't know who was who if it weren't for Daphne going to school with us. They both bloody look scarily alike. I don't know how you can tell them apart… well until they speak that is. Daphne's got some issues and Astoria I think must have some too, just not the same. No pureblood female is that docile without some kind of motive or hidden agenda. Ouch!" Blaise was cut off as Draco flung his tie at Blaise, hitting him smack in the face.
"Please that's pure cotton," Draco snorted at Blaise's dramatic cry. "And," Draco scowled at his best mate. "Leave so I can change in my own room. Or just leave period, there was nothing interesting to relate about Granger."
"There's always something interesting going on with Granger. She's like the person that somehow is always there even when we never expect it. All those times in Hogwarts, the Ministry. Even that trip we took to Prague and we saw her at the cafe when you got food poisoning. I mean of all the people, the millions of people that were there, we saw Granger and…" Blaise stopped though as he wasn't sure to bring it up or not. They ad agreed to never speak of it again but it wasn't something they could avoid forever… Still, for now. Blaise sighed. "And last night… it's like fate. Okay mate that's just too much." Blaise ducked out of the way of the flying shoe that Draco had aimed for him as he used the panel to change since Blaise was rather comfy and not leaving his spot.
"Then don't say bullshit like fate." Draco replied easily. "Especially with Granger." He gruffly added.

Walking down Agorian Way, Hermione sipped her drink as Ginny's chatter went in one ear and out the other. They were shopping now, a week after her disastrous date because when she had called to tell Ginny the whole story, Ginny had demanded to see her and hang out. Still Hermione wasn't into it but Ginny didn't care, just enjoying the female company when her house was literally full of males. There was only so much testosterone she could take before she exploded. So Harry had been more than happy to wish her well off with Hermione.
Hermione was fine with it, rather missing Ginny too and maybe some company that wasn't just Crookshanks or her parents. But now that she was home and planning to stay home… at least for a while, she began to wonder just what she was going to do now?
"Do you think that I'm stuck in limbo and just wasting my life?"
"Huh?" Ginny stopped in mid rant as Hermione finally spoke up. "What?" She clarified as she stopped to look at her friend.
Wincing slightly at her abrupt question and quite obvious lack of attention to her friend's chatter, Hermione rubbed her left temple. "Never mind Gin, it's okay I was just…" But she didn't really have the word for it. Maybe pity? Self pity that she had no idea what to do with her life at the moment when her mind kept reminding her that she was just here and there but with little purpose. Meanwhile… no she was not going to go there. Her self-pity could only go so far.
"No, Hermione Granger do not just never mind me. What brought this on?" Ginny stopped, her hands on her hips for an answer, not liking to be s imply brushed off.
Running her hand through her dark brown locks, Hermione sighed, her lips slightly parting in resign. "I just don't know what to do with myself Gin. I feel quite useless and stuck. Just stuck where I am meanwhile everyone," Including Malfoy, she thought but did not say. "Is moving on and doing all these things that I thought I was going to do. I feel like I'm watching the world move on while I'm stuck behind the window, a silent observer."
"Then why don't you get out and do more! This is the first time we've hung out in months! Months! You cannot just seclude yourself from the world and think that when you come back, nothing is going to change. But you can also change with it and do something so you aren't just stuck because the Hermione Granger I know doesn't do self pity, she is strong and fiercely intelligent. And I know she would just-"
Hermione looked up sharply.
"Get along with my friend if she would give him a chance." Ginny finished anyway, not stopping while she was ahead. She personally thought that Hermione was also stuck and not keeping in touch with them, instead always out somewhere else. Whether travelling or going to see her parents, or even in her lab and library shutting herself in with no way for them to get in to retrieve her. She couldn't help but note that this all began after Hermione and her brother broke up.
"Ginny no!"
!
Her great escape. That was what she called it in her head. For a little over a year she had been stuck in her lab trying to find the reverse potion for Obliviation. She had lost touch with so many of her friends and had broken up with Ron. Neither he nor she were putting in the effort anymore to make it work and it just seemed that both of them would be happier to be just friends.
When she thought she was about to crack, instead of facing the world, she chose to sneak out… her great escape. She told no one on purpose and just went. Ready to wing it. So unlike her that normally had lists prepared and daily planner with schedules very specifically made to maximize the day and the things to do.
But she didn't. Instead she had taken her purse with two days worth of clothes and had made her great escape… to Prague.
