Author's sister's note
Bad news, guys. My sister Ruth, who happens to be the author of this story, has gone and injured herself. The tragedy occurred as she was getting a ride to school on Thursday, March 11, 2004. As she closed the door, she neglected to move her hand in time. That's right, she broke her finger. No more typing for her. Well, typing, but slowly as she can only use about three fingers on her right hand, and, as she is right handed, it might take a while. In the meantime feel free to read MY stories. Yes, that was shameless, but fun.

Important note:
Chapter ten was previously posted. It stared out at Harry's surprise birthday party, and ended with Hermione crying and telling Dawn: "Ricky's dead." If this is the last chapter you read, you should know that I have taken it down. Ergo, it never happened. I decided to go in a different direction. The chapter ten, now posted is newly written. So, I suggest you read it. I'm working on chapter eleven now, but as above mention, it may take a while. It's taken me ten minutes to write this paragraph!
