Well, hello faithful readers. It is I, Gryffindor Heiress, back from the dead...or wherever the hell I've been hiding. I've just been extremely busy, and I thought it fit to inform you all with what's going on with this story, and what might be in store for it's future.

As some of you might know, I began hastily working on a sequel, and even a prequel, since I finished writing "Bouncing off the Ceiling (Upside Down)". The whole plan for the sequel has been made up, it has a plot and everything, it's just that...I'm having such a tough time just putting everything to words. It's not easy. It took me almost a year to write BOTC, and I guess all writers have this problem. Ms. Rowling herself had this problem with "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", right? But it's just...I come up with an idea, I write it down, and then it turns out like crap. I rewrite it, and then it turns out worse. Not to mention I totally canned my first idea I had for the sequel. But luckily, the outcome turned out to be much better, and I really like the storyline.

You guys, I'm honestly not sure when this sequel will be out. I haven't even finished the third chapter. And although I have some of it done, I don't want to post it yet. I want to post something that you the readers will enjoy, no crappy pushover fan fic. I want it to be real good. Even better than BOTC.

I guess the point of this little Author's Note is to ask for your patience in me. When I first started out with BOTC, it was nothing like the way it is now. It was over the summer before freshman year. Everything was so easy. Now it's the summer before sophomore year. Things have changed. I'm so busy. I'm easily distracted with new ideas for different fics. I start a new one, and I can't even get it done because then I've started up another one. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I really, truly am. But I would love it so much to have you all there when the sequel finally does make it here on FanFiction.net. You guys made BOTC what it is, and for you to be there for the next installment of my little story... Golly, I'm beginning to sound like I wrote a best seller or something.

Okay, Gryff, stop this, it's getting to your head!

Hmm...I guess to keep you all happy, here is the summary for the sequel to BOTC. I hope it'll keep you all satisfied until the real thing comes along. I'll just leave everything else to the imagination. And if that doesn't help, we've always got OotP to keep us busy!

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I hope to catch you all soon. -Gryffindor Heiress

Title: "If I'm Not the One" Date of release: unknown

It ended with Harry Potter and Alina Halliwell being the "golden couple" of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, with Ron Weasley and Megan Adams, and Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy coming in at close second and third. Everything is perfect, right? WRONG! Ron and Megan need to learn how to control their hormones before something they'll both regret happens... Oops! Too late. Hermione and Draco are faced with the threat of discrimination because of their magical backgrounds, and the worst of it is only yet to come.

With all these lessons to be learned, and battles to be fought, Harry and Alina will surely triumph...? The road to Splitsville is paved when an appearance from Alina's estranged boyfriend from her days back at Wolfsbane causes her to test her feelings for him...and for Harry. But the rise of Lord Voldemort breaks them up completely with the attacks on people dear to them.

All this chaos and more is, in fact, not the obstacle Harry must face. The truth is, Harry's threat to winning Alina back is the revived, living memory of Tom Marvolo Riddle.
