*Joycie's Story* Author's Note

Hi! I'm Harry's Gemini aka Rinoa14 and to a very few other people... Joycie Lionheart. You might see me in this, if I say so myself, wonderful fic. Well... actually, I'm not. I really just like my name. However, I put some of my characteristics and personalities in *my* character, or rather, Joycie Leia D. Lionheart or, for a long while, Leia McGonagall-Snape.

I do not own anything except the plot and a couple of other "shoe-in" characters you might see in this fic. But, J.K Rowling is the owner of all of the Harry Potter characters and creatures I am about to mention... except a Butterfield... more on that in the later chapters.

I am going to say this, read... and if you like, review! I don't normally care about the reviews, but for this one, I would love to have the reviews I could recieve from wondeful readers. Thank you's are going to be posted every 3 chapters... or so. But, I plan to put every thing... with the other disclaimers at the end.

Thank you to Lissanne, Katy K, Belle Malloy (or as I had mistaken before: Belle Malfoy), Crayola (thank you for letting me borrow your poem... I actually can't thank you enough for that and the dream sequence... I still like the 'love you' part.), cyber gal, Colleen (or Moonbeam), Laura Bates and my online best friend: Ginny Malfoy or Lindsey H. I thank them for specific reasons... but I thank them all for doing one thing: Reading the story beforehand and editing them as they could. Thanks, you guys! I love you all...

So, without much further ado... on with the story.

~Joycie L.~

PS. Tell me if you like it! I might change the summary every now and then. If anybody else cares to find out the long summary... E-mail me. Or review or IM.
