Ok, so this is an Author's Note (I know, disappointing). But I promise I'll be updating soon! Anyways, I just wanted to make some comments, answer questions, that sort of thing. If you guys like this, feel free to review/comment/PM me more with whatever you have, and I'll be happy to answer any questions, concerns, or comments that your lovely minds come up with.

To maggy black: (I know this comment was from the first chapter, but I wanted to clear it up again, just in case other readers didn't get the previous message). I am fully aware that Igor Karkaroff died in the sixth book, but for all intents and purposes, for my story, he, along with other characters, did not die. Along the same lines, characters that did not die in the books written by the wonderful J.K. Rowling, might die here. Just a warning

To RuyahBel: like I said in my most recent post, I honestly am not that great at reading maps, and Google Maps on my laptop is sort of weird for some reason… Not to mention that all the foreign countries I use in the fanfic were chosen at random because they had interesting names and such. I thank you for correcting the facts for me though!

To C-Dizzle: I thought that by making Lucius and Narcissa a little OOC, it would bring more of the atmosphere that I was looking for into this fanfic. Also, I tried to keep up the attitude between Draco and Hermione that was present in the books during school as much as I could with my style and admittedly amateur writing. Thank you for the compliment though! They always encourage me to write more to what you guys want!

To theNotebookintheUSA: thank you for the compliment darlin', I look forward to writing the next few chapters just as much as you enjoy reading them

To Guest: I appreciate the decidedly excited compliment, and I will try my hardest not to let any of the chapters disappoint you And as for the end of the 5th chapter (6th on the fanfiction site), I loved writing it, and I'm so glad that you liked it!

To Erica:thank you for reviewing and letting me know how you felt about the story! I always appreciate it

To Guest: I'm glad that you enjoyed the chapter and are keeping with my story.

To Guest: As I said in my recent update, if it were not for your reminder of Draco's reaction to finding himself and Hermione sharing a bed once more, I would have completely forgotten to write one… So you see, my dear readers, your reviews keep me sane and on task when I write.

Well that's all for now, but I truly appreciate everyone that has bothered to review and leave me their thoughts after reading. I know that there are more than 8 people reading and following this story though, so if the other 12 of you could drop a comment, I would love you for all eternity!
