A/N: I am SO sorry that I haven't updated for so long. My computer has a virus and I have to either use the library computer or the one in my once-a-week computer class. Once my computer is fixed, I WILL try to update once a week, so you'll have to bear with me until then. Btw, I have almost finished Dear Diary – I just need 2-3 more chapters and an epilogue.

Another story is in progress. It has L/J, H/G, R/Hr, and Remus/Katie (but in a different universe), plus it includes a new character who I really like. Actually, there will first be a prequel, just so you'll understand what's going on. Thanks goes to one of my best friends, Debbie, for proofreading and commenting on that story, and to my sis, Anna, for nudging and nudging me to finish it. Thank you all and please REVIEW!

Interlude

In a darkened room, two men kneeled in front of a throne-like armchair.

"Soon, we will strike Hogwarts where it hurts," a voice hissed from the depths of the armchair. "And we will have the bonus of hurting the Head Boy."

"We're not going to attack the Potters, my Lord?" one man whispered.

"No, Lucius. We will not attack the Potters right now. They're too hard to take down. Besides, we have already hit them hard with Brian."

"My Lord, who will it be, then?" the other man asked.

"Yes, we will hit Hogwarts where it hurts, Nott," Lord Voldemort repeated in satisfaction. "The beauty of this is that this will hurt James Potter as well. He is besotted with this girl, I've heard."

"Which girl, my Lord?" Nott questioned.

"The Head Girl." To underscore the point, Voldemort added, "Lily Evans."

A/N 2: Yes, I hear you all wondering: Who is Brian?

You'll find out soon! :-P
