Hello my dear fans.

Happy New Year to you all!

May we all have an amazing year and let wonderful things come our way:)

IT'S FINALLY 2010!! Yaay!

Ok, so now back to the point at hand. I know I promised a few of you that I would post up the next chapter during winter break, but it seems that time wasn't really on my side. So I would like to apologize, but I don't see that happening anytime this week –guiltily-

I knooowww! I'm sorry!

But I can promise you this, I AM STILL HERE :) lol I hope that reassures you all.

Hopefully, after the second week of January (we have exams) I'll be done and then I'll put up the new Chapter. Who knows, I might pull an all nighter to write one down ;)

Now, I'll just put up a little teaser here.

THINGS ARE GOING TO BECOME COMPLICATED....

That's all I'm saying :D

Ok, I'm joking, there's more to it. The following are points that might end up in later chapters.

Call it a badly, made-in-less-than-5-minutes "trailer-preview" if you will

Here goes

- "Hermione...WAIT."

- "I sense a great trouble ahead."

- "Must you really be so thick-headed Ronald?"

- "Oho, look at THAT. Who knew Slughorn had it IN him."

- "I think I might just go blind. I really think I'm going to hurl...Okay, I'm gonna go hurl now."

- "She said there was a storm coming. No joke there. I mean, there's a bloody BLIZZARD outside, what's she playing at.

- "We're headed towards dark times."

- "Hogwarts will always have a mystery to solve."

DUN DUN DUUNNN
