02/01/2003 Update: I've gone over the whole fic! Yes! I wanted to make sure the whole thing was fine before I posted the last chapter. I know, I'm really picky. If you want, you can read the first few chapters again. I changed the end of chapter 3 just a teeny little bit. ;) Not going to say what happened here, it'll spoil it. But anyway, the last chapter is half done at the moment. School has started, and I'll have to go for OBS soon, so um... I don't really know when it'll be up. January, that's for sure. I just don't know the exact date. :D Well, a Happy 2003 to all readers and reviewers! :D
30/12/2002 Update: Chapter 1 has been revised! Phew. Finally. I'm going to revise chapter 2 soon, probably before chapter 8 or 9, depending whether you count this as a chapter. :D Kenna Hijja pointed out that they were too close to the book, and I agree totally, so I'm going to do it in the style of the third chapter onwards! There's not much of a change, just that I've added in more lines and... I don't really know how to describe it, but you'll see what I mean. :) Ahem, reviews are welcome, as always. :D Oh, and please don't kill me for not finishing the last chapter. I'm working on it, really, I am! :D
Hey. Okay, I just felt I had to clarify some stuff on the previous chapter 'cos there seemed to be a number of unclear points and I won't be posting the last chapter until who knows when, since school is starting and I have like three-quarters of my homework undone. Heh. That was a long sentence. :D Anyway. This... note thing will make the fic a weird 9 chapters long but whatever. You can actually just skip this if you don't have a problem with anything; it's just a clarification. Sorry if you expected this to be the last chapter!
1. The 'Perry/Percy' thing: Yes, it was deliberate. :) I was wondering if anyone would question it. :D It was just to show how... unimportant the Weasleys are to Draco. Not that I hate the Weasleys, I think they're really nice and everything, so don't flame me! Thanks to forfirith for asking! :)
2. Draco said 'It was even funnier than I had expected' because he knew the verse he wrote was funny, but when the dwarf sang it, it was like... Um. I usually don't use acronyms, but it was ROTFLMAO! Yes. :D When I first read it in the book, I really couldn't stop laughing for 10 minutes, so I'm supposing that having a harp-strumming dwarf sing it to Harry would probably kill me. :D
3. I think Ginny is the really shy type, from the way she behaved in front of Harry at the Burrow, so instead of defending herself, she ran into the classroom! It's what she would do, I think. Anyway, that's what happens in the book, so, well, it's not my position to change it. :)
4. This is unrelated, but I will not write a Frodo/Sam fic, EVER! They are not gay!
Yes. Actually, I decided to write this mainly because of darling Icicle. So be honoured! Heh. :D Oh and a million thanks to Tine for defending me in her review! Of course I wasn't weirded out/pissed at you! In fact, I was really happy. :D Thanks!
