Sorry to make u all think I have a new chapter up… I've been SWAMPED with work and I am quite angry with myself that I haven't been able to update.. for those of you who like this story, do read my one-shot "waiting in solitude"… I will post another chapter I'm almost done writing it by December 11th. Thank you so much for your faithful reviews and all your patience.
I have finals in college that are abso-postively killing me. I've been sleep-deprived. I've gotten around 3 hrs of sleep every night for the past couple of weeks so no sleep makes me a grumpy author
So please do Forgive me!!
I owe it to wackyone for constantly reminding me to put up an author's note! Thank u sooo much!! :-D
A little sneak preview into what's coming up: this hopefully satisfies the curiosity surrounding the letter – do tell me if anyone expected this to be the case

Previously:
He handed her the letter and she read it, her face identical to that of her brother's. She dropped the parchment in surprise and let out a whoop of exhilaration.
The parchment fluttered to the floor slowly, landing on Hermione's feet.
"Dear Mr. Ronald Weasley…"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just as Hermione stooped to pick the letter up, three frantic taps sounded against the window of the common room. Grabbing the piece of paper, she straightened up only to find that Hedwig and two other owls were hooting impatiently against the closed window. Harry strode up to the window and opened it, letting the harassed birds into the warm common room.
Quickly unraveling Hedwig's letter, Harry's expression matched that of Ron's and Ginny's. Annoyed that she was the only one who had no idea as to what was happening, Hermione glanced down at the letter clutched in her hands.
Dear Mr. Ronald Weasley,
We are honored to inform that you, along with five other Hogwarts students, have been instated into the Order of the Phoenix as junior warlocks for the preservation of the wizarding world.
Other details shall be revealed to you at the inducting ceremony. We request your presence at 7:00 pm on December 24th. All your requests and needs will be satisfied at the ceremony. For any further clarification, contact Minerva McGonagall or Severus Snape.
Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore
P.S. As students from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons will be arriving the same day, formal muggle clothing is mandatory.
A horrified expression came over Hermione's features as she scanned the letter once…twice. And then once more…
