Hello, everyone! Ohmygoodness, this is it, the final book! Holy smokes on short ribs! Can you believe we've made it this far? 7 books, 8 in total, a whole rewrite, breaks in between, and we're here... the last book in the Arabella Black journey. I still can't believe it. This series has been out since 2013 and in my head for much longer.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your support and love. Words can't even begin to describe how much you all mean to me. Every time you all favourite, follow, or review the chapters, my heart soars and I get so giggly. Thank you for those who have stuck with me since the very first chapter, those who came along the way, and those who just found me. You all complete my day.

So, this is the last book and this was capture everything (well, not everything...). I know I'm not the best at updates, but I will promise you, I won't abandon this story. It's been following me for ages, so I can't abandon it! I physically can't, lol.

Before we get into the first chapter, I want to give you guys a heads up on a couple things, in case you want to continue with this story or not:

-This story will not follow canon's epilogue or the Cursed Child. Though there might be similarities, I've had this story written down and planned for a while now (at least before CC came out), and I wanted to do my own original story from start to finish.

-There are a lot of OCs and OC/OC action going on.

-Ron and Hermione will have 4 kids.

-Scorpius will not get together with any of the established characters in canon-epilogue.

-Lavender Brown is alive and I've got a couple stories for her swirling around in my head.

-I've got a lot storylines planned out and I've got about 20 chapters planned so far. I might take a couple breaks in between to plan, but I'll always come back.

-I might or might not combine and mould Muggle medicine and wizard medicine together. That part is up in the air.

-Sometimes Arabella or Harry might not be featured in a chapter and it might be more focused on their kids for a while, but the core of the story is still based on them.

-You might not like the Houses I put the kids in, but I do hope you still stick out.

-People are going to die, I think that's a given.

I'm going to try and keep the story as real and organic as possible. I think I did better after rewriting the story and want to keep that going into this book. Sometimes the way a scene plays out might be frustrating (I even get frustrated with characters), but I hope the payoff in the end will be worth it.

Once again, thank you so much for sticking with me through all of this. I'm hoping to have the first official chapter up soon, though I'm not sure when...
