Author's Last Note:
I know that I've categorised HSX under Harry and Ginny when it was in fact a H/Hr fanfiction. There are several reasons for that...
1) At first, I've intended this fanfiction to be short and sweet.. A one shot.. lol.. and somehow, I changed my mind. (Psst..Maybe that's why my 1st chapter was the best.LOL)Looking at the number of words in this entire fanfict,it's not exactly short and somehow, after reading some of the other fanfictions out there, somehow, my resolution on how this story should end changed along the way...So I'm really sorry to those who had been reading my story from the very beginning, expecting a Ginny/Harry pairing.
2) I kinda like the idea of fate and sacrifice. That's the motto and life lesson that have been taught to me since I was very young. I've ended the story this way coz I wanted Harry and Ginny to realize that fate is a very important thing..
I strongly believe in fate and I am one of those who believed that Harry and Ginny are fated to be together. That's why I had that bit about Ginny thinking about Harry when she saw the pair of them kissed.
I wanted her to think that it was not the end... Kinda like the real thing that occurred in the Harry Potter series. I don't know about you guys but the pairing between the both of them eventually was like a nice surprise for me.. .Showed me that you'll never know what life has in store for you when you knew you had already given up hope on something... I think that's what happened in the case of Ginny and Harry... :D
3) What about Ron and Hermione?
-This is the tricky bit. I'm not saying that Hermione will eventually break up with Harry,get it on with Ron, Harry eventually realises Ginny has a thing for him all this while and an immediate Harry and Ginny pairing is born... : P I sincerely wanted something different from the real stories, and I've always fancied Dan and Emma getting it on... So i guess you can put the blame on me for writing a Harry/Hermione pairing in the end... It's the end.. But duh.. it's not the kind of THE END one might expect right... Just a happy and fluffy ending...
As quoted by Jane(Angelina Jolie) in "Mr and Mrs Smith" movie, happy endings are stories which are not finished... so.. from where i've left...You can use your imaginations...lol...
If I were to use my imagination and continue the story from where I've left... I'll probably make it into a "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" kinda story. Where Harry gets both girls.. In very different situations/circumstances.. Watch this hindi movie on Youtube. It's the perfect Harry/Hermione/Ginny love triangle story...
Maybe i will write a "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" based Harry Potter fanfiction during my next semester break.. hmmm...
-I know guys are really competitive when it comes to girls, especially between best friends.. ( Based on personal experience) but in this case, I want Ron's trait of loyalty to really shine... He knew he was too late in showing Hermione that he had feelings for her,didn't deal it the right way, and thus, when he saw Hermione slowly slipping away from him.. He knew his chance was also slipping and he knew Harry was the reason.. Being the fiercely loyal friend that he is, I believed that in my story, this was what pushed him to do what he did in the end...
Being new to this thingy, i think my story should be classified under AU right? Or is it slightly AU? Hmmmm.. What do you think...
Lastly, thanks for reading my story. It was my first ever COMPLETE fanfict on and I gotta say, Im relieved... hehehe..
Take care, good luck and have a happy 2008!!!!
