~*~A NICE LITTLE AFTERTHOUGHT TO FINISH US OFF~*~

Okay, people. We've been through a lot in this fic. Thank you all for making this possible. I know this is sad, but this is my longest fic ever. I have a few things to address, and then I'm gone.

First of all, thank you to the three best friends in Indiana. I can sincerely say that this story would have been impossible without you.

Sierra Charm, thank you for your wonderful advice towards the beginning. I'm sure Harmony appreciated it, and I know I did. Thank you for being such a wonderful puppet in chapter six. That was by far my favorite chapter to write, and I love that conversation. Thanks for all of your help!

Star*dust, all things work out in the end. Your character was by far the most dramatic, and quite fun to play with. You had a sarcastic side, a knowing side, and a dramatic flare that pushed this into a separate genre. You were one of the first people I met here, and I'm sure I'd still be writing my one-chaptered fics if it weren't for you. Thank you, Ulema Sitara.

~*~Hermione~*~, thank you ever so much for dealing with me. I have a surprise for everyone, so ask me about it later. We've been through a ton. I'm sure that if the prat hadn't gotten sick, we wouldn't even be friends. Karma. I'm serious. Thanks for everything and get better quick! Until then, milk it for all it's worth.

Harmony Slytherin, I saved you for last. Do you know why? Because you were originally the only person I was going to have in the fic. I thank you so much for being the best character to make hyper. You're the best ghost on ff.net, and I'm sure you're the youngest ghost (Wait, Myrtle….we shall see). Thanks a zillion.

Now, to everyone. I do have a surprise for everyone(Harmony, keep your mouth shut) and you will find out later today(I hope). Thanks for all of your support, and now for some concerns/questions.

~*~The Bonding Charm~*~ Okay people, phoenix are rare. According to mythology, there is only one alive at a time. Phoenix also have so much power, it's incredible. They make very loyal pets, and so the Bonding Charm was put on Aisling. Callie felt pain when Aisling was in danger. That's how Remus knew to take her back.

~*~Callie's Father~*~ People, authors often vent through writing. That was my venting(and some of Harmony's too). Please, don't ask me why I made him the way that I did. Don't flame me for it. And DON'T patronize me. Okay. Now that we are in an understanding, you may proceed.

~*~The Limelight~*~ I know that this story wasn't focused on Lily and James. That's what makes it different. Other people have problems and relationships too. So therefore, you'll just have to let me work my magic and be mysterious until then.

~*~Titles~*~ The chapter titles tried to follow a certain pattern. The pattern was interrupted by the last chapter. I couldn't say anything without giving it away. So, I said nothing at all.

~*~My Recommendations~*~ There are so many good fics out there people. I know that my favorite stories list is short, but every single story on there has tons to offer. I love so many stories on ff.net. It's hard to choose, you know? I don't have a lot of my friends' stories on there for one reason. I talk about my friends so much that I figure one things. If you're so curious, you'd go and read them yourself. I mean, that's what I'd do. Also, I don't have a lot of the shorter stories on there. I love the occasional fluff, people, but I like the longer and more involved stories on my list.

I know that "The Aurumlupi Clan"(or whatever it goes by now) is on their. Case in point, that is a highly involved story. No joke, this author(Hi Cali!) brought us a whole new lore and recognition. Her story was highly outscoped(like mine) so that the canon characters were there, but not in the spotlight. I'm serious, it had me on the edge of my seat.

Also, there are some works by Auror5. Auror5 is an awesome authoress, you guys. I'm serious. Every story brings forth a different view of the elements, and some are just plain FUNNY.

~*~ME~*~

Lastly, I know everyone reading this has put up with me for a while. I'm a really flighty writer, so it takes me a while to get things done. I am very passionate and opinionated, but you know that too. Sometimes, I'm a real brat. Usually it's my own fault and I haven't had enough sleep, but sometimes the world has pissed me off and I don't want to talk. But when I want to talk, you can't shut me up. And all other times, I'm high on life(like, having just read the fluffiest fic and am SO in a romantic mood) or extremely hyper(case in point, the woolymunchers). You'll learn to get used to me or ignore me, and I hope I'll hear from you again soon!
