The Last Author's Note of this Story:
Yes, I know that technically this is frowned upon but people wanted to know when the next story came out and I couldn't imagine trying to answer all the final comments of this story on the next story.
So, we made it, my friends. This is the final A/N of this story and I've never finished a story this long or that had so many amazing followers, favorites, and reviews. You guys have stuck around for almost two years and that's incredible because you stuck it out through the long hiatuses and the awkwardness that was me trying to get my foothold in this story. I thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart.
That being said, it's time for the next one. Some people were surprised that this will be a trilogy. I think I touched on it once or twice, but I officially decided that it was easier breaking up the stories to kind of follow the final books versus me trying to fit over 100 chapters into one story. There's nothing wrong with that, but sometimes stories can drag out and I didn't want to bore anyone.
The next in the series is "The Princess of Darkness." I'm sticking to the theme of naming them, because it kind of makes sense, all things considered. Hermione isn't dark per-say but she is a gray character. She is too smart to jump to one side without figuring them both out. And it should be out as soon as it registers as a new story.
jesseburnette: Honestly I died a little when I saw the 666. I couldn't stop laughing about it.
kuriboh1233: If you're up for it, hell yeah! I know I miss stuff and sometimes bouncing ideas off is nice! I wasn't sure how I was going to make them work in the beginning, but I think they'd make a lot of sense together. I hope I can do them justice.
alishalovestigger: I'm so glad you had a good experience and that they're a favorite pairing. Thank YOU for reviewing and sticking around!
Guardian Delacour: yes on learning more about gay couples and some other important stuff! It is a trilogy and I hope you stick around and keep commenting because they always make me smile.
Mashiro09: Aww, well, I hope I can keep fulfilling your expectations and continue making a series you enjoy! I love them a couple (which, for a long time surprised me before I started this story) and I intend to do their characters justice.
Gemini NR: I appreciate your comments so much. They always make me grin. I promise the first chapter has PLENTY of interaction and should help make up for the lack of it. I sincerely hope I don't disappoint and that you continue reading and that, should I royally bone something up, you tell me! I always worry about my writing and knowing it doesn't suck balls is always nice.
jumpingninjo: I hope I didn't make you wait too long! I promised two weeks and I was just one day off and then again, it's only two hours past my deadline where I am so... Ginny and Tonks are endgame, I won't lie. There is always going to be drama and nothing good is ever easy, but they will end up together. It's a small spoiler but when I paired them, I decided it was going to end with them. Draco and Ginny wasn't a bad idea when someone suggested it but at the end of the day, they're better as rivals and friends versus romantically. Ginny is far too loyal, even if she doesn't understand entirely the situation and she will get all of her curiosities answered at some point. (Sorry for the long answer).
pclauink: There will be more Bellamione and Harry's future is questionable (that's my only hint, really). Gray Hermione is honestly one of my favorite things and I cannot imagine her jumping straight to one side or the other.
celtbhoy: I promise you'll get a lot of Bella in the first six(?) chapters and she will have a lot of story arch and attention in this upcoming story.
ZileRacer: Your comments make me happy. I enjoy commenting back on them. Nope, definitely not the end. Ginny and Tonks are 10/10 one of my favorite pairings even though they're obscure (I think I've only come across them once or twice). I actually haven't read the book but I probably should. Yaxley and Rod and Stan aren't gone. They will have an arch and throw in their own little wrenches in the story.
To all of the people I didn't reply to, I still love and appreciate your comments so much. I answered more than I usually do but it seemed like a good time to reply to more, but there's only so much time. If you're up to reading some of them, there are little hints so it might be worth your time and I hope to see your comments and follows and favorites! You've all been amazing.
Until next time, peace out!
