The True Meaning of Happily Ever After

by bingbing03

The marauders think they've got it all, being in the Quidditch team and having a huge fanclub, plus really good grades. But when Sirius chases away the best Keeper Gryffindor's Quidditch team ever had, it's up to Remus to get her back. And fall in love.

8. Letter

Dear faithful readers,

The recent release of the much-awaited Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the highly anticipated sixth installment of the brilliant Harry Potter series by the wonderful JK Rowling, has been a historical and joyous occasion for both the Harry Potter fanfiction community and the rest of the world. The book, no doubt, is a brilliant work of sheer talent that gives us a lot more insight into the meticulously crafted world of Harry Potter, particularly regarding the past of Harry¡¯s parent¡¯s and their friends (collectively known as MWPP). I am certain that this new information will spawn a new generation of Harry Potter fanfiction, this time with more accuracy than its predecessors. I can also be certain that my fanfiction counterparts on the Internet and I will hasten to make the suitable amendments to our stories with the help of this valuable information.

However, since I finished the fifth book, I have decided that I will be going on a five-month hiatus, so that I can properly absorb all the nuances of the series and return to the world of fanfiction with an even deeper understanding of Harry Potter (I think I¡¯ve been losing my touch). During that time, I will be rewriting The True Meaning of Happily Ever After, a MWPP story that urgently needs re-structuring. I can safely promise that by the end of this year, the completed story will be posted on fanfiction.net under the new name of Ancalima.

I would like to thank my wonderful beta reader, coolone007, for all his support (and also for putting up with my indecisiveness). Also, I would like to thank all my reviewers for their continued support. Without you people, I would never have been able to survive this long. And of course, I thank JK Rowling from the bottom of my heart for bringing to us such a beautiful, enchanting story that is so close to home.

Finally, I would like to remember the brave soul who died to save Harry in the fifth book. His death is a terrible loss, and it has been devastating to read the pages describing his demise. However, I am convinced that he will always be alive in our hearts. Rest in peace; we will always love you.

And once again, thanks for reading through my incoherent ramblings.
