Author's Note

This note wasn't originally supposed here, but I wanted to put in this edit to grab your attention for just a bit before going on with the story (or you could just click "next" if you really can't stand A/Ns). Now, I plan to write this story by beginning it at a slow pace. Contrary to popular belief, I don't believe that all stories should just go straight to the point. I don't just write fanfiction for the hell of it; I write because I love to let the words mold into the picture to create the setting and mood of a story. If you're one of those readers who fancy reading fanfiction just to read Hermione and Draco snog and get it on a.k.a. shag, then this is not your story.

Adaptation, I presume, will be a bloody long ride for all of you. As a creative writer (in real life), I must admit that the amount of detail I put into this story is based on thorough research and calculated risks applied on the page. This story loves to go into the lives of characters. For example, one of the future chapters will deal with Narcissa Malfoy, her frustrations as a mother, a possible lover she had let go of. The possibilities are countless and I believe that a story deserves detail and crafting. It will not shove cliché lines of Hermione's undying love for Draco nor will it give you some abominable plot twist that hasn't been calculated. My pet peeve is deus ex machina and I promise I will not give you that.

Lastly, I'd also like to say that this fanfiction is open to suggestions and constructive criticisms a.k.a. reviews. Who knows? I might even include them into the story. Adaptation loves to adapt after all. Cheerio!
