A/N- Hi everybody....I wonder if any of the original readers are still following this story...I know it's been a long...long...long...long time. I'm really sorry about that. To be quite honest I had kinda given up on the story. I had received a lot of flames and comments from people regarding the characters, my writing, and the abruptness of it. All in all, it kind of discouraged me from writing any more chapters. I just write on here for fun, and in all honesty...I don't attempt to go through what I write and make it 'good.' I have to do that so much with my books that this is just a nice escape, lol :) And regarding the comments made about me not staying true to character's personalities (whatever you crazy people want to call it)...I'm writing a Dramione fanfiction...never in a million years would this ever happen. Thus, I find it completely plausible that Ron would be able to use an Unforgiveable Curse (and as evidence in the chapter-he didn't execute it successfully, so he's still the endearing, yet pathetic Ronald Weasley we all love). Well, that and the fact that he's an Auror. Anyways...I'm getting really off topic now. Sorry about the abruptness of everything but I just want to get into the juiciness :) and don't feel like divulging too much time into a fanfiction which won't make me any money :) I do hate when authors rush, but in fanfiction writing...I despise authors who write like Tolkien.

I'm in the process of putting together a website to post some of my writings-just my quick short stories- and that way I can interact with you guys. I write vastly different depending on my mood...you have only seem the sarcastic/funny side of me =) Maybe if you guys are really nice...I might even give you an excerpt of one of my unpublished books...*queue the dramatic music* but you have to be reeeeaaaalllly nice.

All in all, what I was saying...before I was sidetracked...OH LOOK! PURTY BUTTERFLY!...oh sorry, um...anyways. I will continue this story if you would like me to (I think me posting this author's note as a chapter is against the rules....) but on the condition that everybody understands that I am doing this for fun...so let me know.

Angel.....I am really sorry I stopped writing this story for so long...please stop threatening to maim me with a spoon.

Love,

Shadow
