Important Author's Note:

I just finished writing my author's note to my other story, so this one will be very much similar to it, just in case you read both my stories and you think something funky is going on. In fact, much of this is copied and pasted. Well, some at least.

Alright, so, as many of you know, Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix officially came out yesterday. Well, I read it yesterday, and I couldn't fall asleep all night because I was so damn sad. I'm currently suffering from depression (well, okay, not really, but sort of). HOW COULD JK ROWLING KILL *THE PERSON*????????? I'm in denial. Okay, so, I'm seriously like a deflated balloon right now. Depressed.

So, I have no idea when the next chapter will be up (even though thankfully I survived my oral surgery) due to my sorrow over *the person*'s death. And what's worse, the stuff that happens in book five really kind of makes me have to change the plot of the story a bit. Ok, well, not just a bit. I'm going to have to change it quite a bit. The fifth book doesn't affect my other story (TSM) that much, but it will definitely affect this story a significant amount. There might be some holes left in the plot afterwards, but I'm trying my hardest to think of ways to make everything fit right. I might go back and edit the old chapters a bit (maybe) because it doesn't fit that well with book five.

I certainly hope that I will be done writing this story before the 6th book comes out, because it could create trouble again for me. And I love this story too much to abandon it before it's done, which I'd have to do if JK Rowling decided to kill a crucial character in book six. So I'll be trying to write faster to finish it before book six comes out and attempts to ruin my plans again. Sort of.

Also, just as a warning, from now on, my story will probably and most definitely contain spoilers for the fifth book. I hope that by the time I have posted the next chapter that most of you will have been done reading the book so that I don't spoil anything for you. In fact, you are all probably reading the book right now and haven't got a clue that this author's note is up. Well, it doesn't matter because I'm writing this note anyway and I'm going to post it whether or not people will read it.

It'll take me some time to get over *the person*s death. Hey, I really liked this person! He/She was really cool…and now, he/she is gone. Sad days. I hope I'll get over it soon and be in the mood to write my story again. Currently I'm trying to think of ways to fit the stuff that happens in book five in with the plot of the story, although it's kind of hard.

When the next chapter is done, I will take off this author's note and replace it with the next chapter. Hopefully it will show up as updated in ff.net. Well, have fun reading the new Harry Potter book! Till next time, ciao!
