AN:  ok, I know this probably won't be appreciated, but I feel I need to put an author's note up.  I am *so* excited that I have gotten so many wonderful reviews and that is probably the only reason I decided on this AN.  I will continue with this story, but I can't continue it this week.  I have European History AP and English AP homework I need to be done with by Friday and writing something that is worth reading probably won't fit into the schedule until Friday afternoon/Saturday/this weekend.  So, hopefully it won't be too long, and again, I appreciate the reviews and the reviewers SO much.

So I will update in a few days, in the meantime, review all you want, that would be exciting, and for people who haven't read it before now, also review, that would also be exciting.

Oh look, I am updating an author's note…but I just checked the number of reviews I have and I am so happy.  I always used to read author's notes about how wonderful they felt about the reviews and the amount of reviews and whatnot, but I thought they were just making stuff up.  I was wrong (a rarity, I assure you.) and now I know the bliss and author feels when they get reviews.  I just had to update in order to respond to one reviewer in particular (I hope the others don't feel left out, I really love you all, keep reviewing). 

To Obsidian Blade:  PLEASE do not think that you were stepping on my toes with your review.  Please feel free to say whatever you want about what I write.  The fact is, I still don't really consider myself an author or at least not one who is experienced enough to know the tricks to writing a wonderful story.  In all honesty, I started out just making this a "practice fic" to get the feel of writing for an audience.  I also agree with you.  It is cliché, and maybe not so original, but that doesn't quite concern me right now.  Hopefully, I can take the character of Hermione in a direction that isn't so overdone.  I don't want to give too much away, but I think I have decided to continue this fic and make it into something  good.  PLEASE keep reviewing!
