The Woes of Harry Potter
Chapter Four
The Dreaded Email
Disclaimer: Nothing you might recognise belongs to me
"Harry, hurry up!" said Ron, "Lunch is nearly over and we still haven't eaten anything!"
"Alright, alright," grumbled Harry, "I just wanted to check my emails. I'll catch up with you,"
"OK," said Ron and ran to his lunch.
Harry signed into his email account and clicked onto his inbox.
Ah, twelve new emails. Four from his friends, three reviews from his last chapter, four email alerts from some of his particular favorite fan fics and an email from the fan fiction administrator. Uh huh.
Quickly, Harry opened the administrator email and scanned down to it.
Dear user.
Weregret to inform you that your story 'Me, Myself and Ginny' has been removed from because it broke the below rule:
Any form of interactive entry: choose your adventure, second person/you based, Q&As, and etc
Your account has been frozen for one week- you are unable to post anymore fanfics until this period of time is over. If this happens a further two times, your account will be closed.
Thank you and please continue using this website.
"Ohno!" cried Harry, slamming his fist onto the desk in anger, "I don't believe it!"
He furiously signed off the computer and pounded into the Great Hall where Ron and Hermione were enjoying their lunch.
"What's wrong?" asked Hermione, immediately seeing Harry's angry face,
"Your favourite website has removed my story and has frozen my account for an entire week!" spat Harry,
"Oh no!" said Hermione, in dismay, "what rule did you break?"
"The interactive entry one," sighed Harry, his anger slowly started to disappear, "at the end of the last few chapters I've had two options that the reviewers can choose from and they show the way the story is going. It's been really successful…"
"It was a good idea," soothed Hermione,
"How did the administrators find out?" asked Ron, curiously,
"Someone must have blabbed to them," said Hermione, "they must have reported your story. I hate people that do that. Well, obviously it's okay if the story is atrocious or it's written like a porn piece but it's just spiteful to report for something as basic as interactive entries!"
Harry nodded, glumly.
"Did you save your story?" Hermione asked, a moment later,
"Luckily," said Harry, cutting a large piece of Apple Pie onto his plate as lunch time was nearly over,
"Good," said Hermione, "when the week is up and you can access your account again, you can re-post your story. Just remove the 'choose your own adventure' part of the story and you'll be fine!"
"OK, thanks Hermione," grinned Harry,
"No problem," Hermione said, grinning back,
"Oi Potter, grin at your own girlfriend!" said Ron.

Harry-discovers-slash chapter will be coming up shortly. I have a list of things to write about. It will be possibly chapter six. If anyone has anything that I could use in the story, then just tell me.
