I don't own anything JKR created.

A/N: giggles This was the only way I could think of contacting y'all. I thought it was rather ingenious on my part! Lol Hope you don't mind too much.

Chapter 11: The Letter

Hermione was sitting in Ginny's desk chair, gripping the arm rests so hard that her knuckles were turning white. Ginny was trying to do something, anything at all, with the mess of curls Hermione called hair.

"This is going to take ages," Ginny said, the brush getting stuck in Hermione's hair for the hundredth time.

"You sound like Ron," Hermione said, through gritted teeth.

Ginny started laughing, and replied between giggles, "Please Hermione, don't compare me to my brother…it's too…scary!"

All of a sudden there was a clicking sound at Ginny's window, and both girls turned to see a tawny barn owl waiting to be let in.

"Who's owl is that?" Hermione asked Ginny.

"I've no idea," Ginny answered, as she opened her window.

The owl gracefully stepped through the window and hopped to Ginny's desk, coming to rest in front of Hermione. Both girls looked at each other, and Ginny said, "Well, is there a letter?"

Hermione examined the owl for a second before seeing the piece of parchment rolled up so tight it was barely visible. She untied it from the owls leg and began to open it up. The owl, having accomplished it's task, took of with such a mad flurry of wings that it almost knocked the letter out of Hermione's hands.

Ginny quickly shut the window and ran over to Hermione. Resting her hands on the older girl's shoulders, she said, "Oh, hurry Hermione. Read it! I can't wait to see who it's from!"

Hermione completely opened the roll of parchment and began to read.

I know, I know…horrible way to make y'all think there was another chapter posted, but I had to do this. I did think it was a rather cunning way to contact y'all. I've been getting so many responses that y'all wish there was more. Sadly, there will be no more to Broken Boundaries…there is a but, though. I will be making this fic into a series.

I wrote in my profile, but as many of you don't check that out, I've decided to make this fic into a series. That may have been the last chapter of Broken Boundaries, but only the beginning to the series… I haven't come up with a name for my series yet, but I will eventually. I enjoyed writing this fic immensely, and was upset to see it end, myself. I have grand plans for these two. I had no idea how to connect the events in this fic with the rest of the important events I have planned, and not make it boring with lots of pointless filler content. So, I decided to end it here and pick it up later on certain key plots in the series. Following this fic, there will be a series of one-shots and chaptered fics. The importance of each event will determine whether it will be a one-shot or a chaptered fic. Also, breaking it up leaves time for me to pursue other fics that I've had ideas for, such as The Disappearance, and A Day in the Life of…Dudley Dursley?.

I'm also a member of Mugglenet Fanfiction, and trying to get these fics posted over there, as well. I've found a wonderful Beta reader and she is helping me to improve Broken Boundaries. MNFF holds their authors at a higher standard, and I have had to add to Broken Boundaries in certain places, so you may want to check it out over there, as well. I highly recommend that site to those of you who don't already know about it. Wonderful fics over there. They also have these things called drabbles that I've become entranced with. I'm going to start a little fic on this site consisting of any and all drabbles I've written. They are mostly challenges issued, so they won't connect in any way, but they are so much fun to write that I thought I would share them with y'all. If you have any challenges you would like to see me try to tackle…I would love to try. They also help when I'm trying to write something and I come to a road block in my mind. Creating a little drabble gets the creative juices flowing again.

So, as a last note, don't worry that Broken Boundaries is over…you haven't seen the last of Hermione and Ginny…together…in my mind's eye…

In goodbye for now, I ask y'all, my faithful readers, challenge me please! Anything you can think of. Want to see a certain pairing written a certain way, want a certain phrase written into the drabble, think I can't handle a guts and gore fic? My e-mail is posted in my profile, or leave your challenge in my reviews section. Give me your best shot, try and stump me…I dare you…

Oh snap, before I forget…I'm currently thinking up the next fic in my Ginny/Hermione series, so have fun with my other fics, and issue me some challenges in the mean time. Drabbles won't go over 500 words and take me no longer than an hour to write, so they won't interfere with the Broken Boundaries series. I thrive on author/reader interaction, so if you have any ideas of something you would like to see Ginny and Hermione tackle together, I'd love to hear them. If I think it's something I can fit in somewhere or even make into another sub-plot of my fic, I'll surely try!

Slowly putting the parchment down, Hermione looked at Ginny.

"What?" They both asked each other at the same time.

"Obviously some nutter sent it to the wrong house," Hermione concluded.

"Yeah, maybe. Why would it have had our names in it, though?" Ginny questioned.

"Coincidence maybe, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Even if it actually has something to do with us, it's just some poor soul who's got nothing better to do than make up stories about us. Assuming that's what 'fics' are," Hermione answered. She suddenly remembered the hairbrush hanging from the mess Ginny was creating in the back of her head. "Uh, Ginny love, would you mind?" she asked, pointing to the brush dangling for dear life in her hair. "It's beginning to hurt a little."

Ginny, face turning red, grabbed the hair brush and tried to untangle it. "Sorry," she stammered, both girls forgetting all about the mysterious letter.
