A Quick Author's Note
Hello, and thank you to everyone who has bothered to read my fanfiction! The reviews I have gotten over the past month have continually given me happiness, so I simply want to thank each and every one of you who reviewed for making my day.
Here's my second note: I have just put up a new story, Memory of the Night. It concerns Phantom of the Opera, so all you Phans out there can head over there.
Third thing to say: When I said in chapter eight that the chapter was going to be long, I meant it. However, for those of you who dislike the fact that I stopped chapter 9 on a cliffhanger, you're really going to hate me for the next chapter… the cliffhanger will have you screaming at me, and the chapter containing said cliffhanger will be rather long. It's Voldie-poo's party, after all. There's a lot to get done.
Now, when I read over chapter 9, I noticed the comment about the car outside the department store at the beginning that "can't decide whether to reflect the lights or not," and it seemed a bit more obscure than intended. This was a play on the phrase, "You left your lights on," and was referring to the Ford Anglia that the Weasleys owned. Since the lights can't reflect the car when it's invisible, and since the invisibility switch on the car is faulty, I thought it made sense.
One last comment, then I shall allow you to go back to your daily lives. I reread chapters 8 and 9 again, and I noticed that, coinciding with a comment one of my lovely reviewers sent in, my character Kali did seem a tad "Mary-Sue"-ish. I'd like to apologize to my friend Salaam for this, but I did base Kali off of her, my amazing friend. I suppose I did overdo her a bit. Although the description of her looks is accurate, I just tried to flatter Salaam, which I probably shouldn't have done. She's going to be more human in future chapters, as opposed to some odd and slightly obnoxious little Miss Perfect and Sweet.
Okay, now you guys can go back to your daily lives!
Your obedient servant,
PW
