In light of the recent events....

Because of the release of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, I 
feel like I should break my regular rule of not updating with only 
author's notes.

The reason for this is that I have finished OotP and noticed, 
strangely, that the story line Fleur and I came up with resembles 
somewhat book five. I would like to say now that we came up with our 
story line before the book was released, and intend to stick to it, 
regardless of what happened.

For those of you who have finished OofP, and know what I'm talking 
about, this fan fiction will not follow that story line. 
It was my favorite character that died, and I will not (and probably 
couldn't bring myself to do it, anyway) to follow through with 
something like that in my story.

But for any similarities you see between our story and book five, I 
promise that they were there before OotP was released and we are not 
trying to copy J.K. Rowling's work.

Thank you for understanding before hand, and not flaming our decision 
about not changing the story line we came up with months ago.
