Disclaimers
Any and all Harry Potter characters belong to the honorable J.K. Rowling, who breathes life into all us FF authors. May she live a long life and write lots and lots of books for her poor, sad, addicted audience. Wolfgang Boozier, the Minister of Magical law enforcement belongs to me, as does Jeffery the intern, whom I hope we will be able to hear from again later. I liked him.
Songs:

*I don't know who wrote it, it's from the soundtrack for the Broadway show. I just happened to like it, and Ginny agreed.
** Written and performed by Gordon Lightfoot in the original version (which I hate with a passion) The one I used is performed by Sarah McLachlan.
Acknowledgments
Thank you to everybody who left me either a good review (I live on those—who needs food and sleep?) or a flame with a rational explanation. Everyone needs a little constructive criticism.
Thank you to my friends who put up with my ranting about writers block and other such dilemmas and who clamored to read it when it was done (cheers, Mary!).
Thank you to Daddy, who listened to me when I told him the whole story, and only snored a little.
Thank you to all the beautiful people who sent me birthday cards!!!!!
And finally, though I highly doubt she'll ever read this, thanks to J.K. Rowling, for her hard work in creating such memorable characters and settings.
Announcements
My next story, when I finally get my S*** together and write it, will be titled You Don't know Jack, and the first chapter, "January" ought to be out some time soon. It will feature a few new characters, all of whom I love (they're soooooo fun to write!) as well as hints about future characters. Read it when I finally get it up and for Pete's sake, review!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, and goodnight.
