Dear Readers,

I don't know how long FF will allow this to be considered a chapter, but I am hoping the majority of you will be able to see it if it gets removed.

Anyway, the point of this note is to tell you that, obviously, I did not met my goal of finishing this fic before the release of DH. However, I WILL NOT BE ABANDONING IT. That is a promise; I really like this fic and my ideas and I want to finish it. But, with less than a week until the release of DH, the rumors and spoilers have been circulating and I have managed to stumbled across some and couldn't resist reading them. I regret it now, and don't want to see any more (especially since I didn't like any of them at all), so I have made the decision to take a hiatus until July 22nd. But, don't be upset-- I will continue to write this week and if I happen to finish and fine tune Chapter Three before Friday, I will get on to upload it for you. And, even after the 22nd, despite the outcome of DH, this story will go on as planned.

Once again, thank you ALL for the encouraging reviews. I am very glad to know that so many of you like it.

Well, until the posting of Chapter Three, I hope everyone enjoys DH!!!

Much love,

Sara (Hold-Your-Hippogriffs)

Coming Up in Chapter Three:

Hermione goes home and introduces her parents to her "fiancé".

Ron and Hermione see each other; Hermione forgets to mention Tyler.

Ron has a surprise for Hermione.

Harry and Ginny love.
