hey kiddos!

So, last chapter, I said that I had a love-hate relationship with this story and I wouldn't be continuing it

.

.

Welp.

I've changed my mind.

.

Not about the love-hate thing, I still look back and have regreat on what's been written previously, but... there are also many moments I love. So many aspects of the story that were special to me. So many characters I don't want to let die. So many ideas I had for the future plot that I want to flesh out.

.

.

I want to start over.

.

.

Not completely, of course, but I want to start fresh with book 4. Books 1-3 were fun to write, but majorly copy-pasted and only adding half-assed character development, silly jokes, relationships that are honestly not very well written, and not to mention Evanna's messy personality, which was only a strange amalgamation of traits that didn't fit well together and honestly weren't consistent.

.

But I want to try again.

.

I've grown as a writer—I'm even working on my own original novel!—so I think I can do this story more justice. Not exactly the justice it deserves mind you; it's not a story I would even say deserves any justice. However, I do still have a heart for Evanna, her friends, and her adventures.

.

So, I'm gonna try again!

.

I can't promise a consistent updating schedule—in fact, I can't even promise a chapter a month—but this story is indeed continuing!

.

.

.

(perhaps against my better judgement)

(this'll be fine)

(it will)

Well, here's to hoping that 2019 brings good things to this trainwreck of a fanfiction! Love you all, I hope you're well, and have a lovely year! Much love! *hearts hearts hearts* ~Jayce
