Title: Intermission

Author's Note: This has absolutely nothing to do with the story, though I feel that I should inform my readers about some news that's prevented me from updating as much as I'd like to. The characters are not mine, except the ones I developed for the story, so please nobody sue me! I have nothing except my laptop and very little money.

"Faith wait!" Buffy called, racing after the brunette.

"What's up, B?" Faith asked turning to face the blond.

"I just heard some interesting news."

"What?" Faith asked. "Did Black and Potter finally come out?"

Buffy rolled her eyes at Faith's sarcasm. "No, stupid." She sighed. "The author of this story hasn't been able to update and I fear that the readers have given up on her."

"Don't be so dramatic, B." Faith retorted. "Life is all about twists and turns. Stuff happens and we've got to go with the punches."

"Five-by-five." Buffy teased.

"Exactly." Faith smirked. "Don't fret B. The readers of this story are cool. I mean they're reading it aren't they."

"You've got a point."

"Of course I've got a point." Faith's smirk got bigger. "Anyways, we'd better get to class."

"Oh, right." Buffy muttered.

Faith16 steps into the scene. "Well there you have it, dear readers. There is a reason I haven't been posting and it's not because I'm dead." I reply looking down the empty hallways. "Basically, I was offered an excellent learning experience and decided to take it – though the bad thing is, is that I have hardly any time to write and post."

"Oh quit your jabbering woman!"

"Shut it Sirius, or I'll kill you off." Faith16 warned.

"Sorry."

"That's better." Faith16 smugly replied. "Now, where was I?" I inquired. "Oh yes, I will continue to try to post on the weekends, but there aren't any guarantees that I can get to a computer with the Internet."

"But she'll try." James Potter promised.

"That she will." Remus agreed.

"Well here's some things I wrote for the reviewers that had questions and comments for my story so here's to my readers."

Author's notes: Sorry for not responding to your reviews sooner, hopefully you are all still reading this story. These are responses from all the chapters, so hopefully you'll find your name. Some of you reviewed more than once (you rule) and I lumped your review responses together.

moonylover2000 - I'm glad you think it's interesting. Hope you keep reading and please continue to give me feedback.

Darklight - Thanks for the suggestion on making Faith an animagus, I don't think I'll be doing it but I'll definitely keep it in mind.

Morena Evensong - You know I guess I didn't realize that Faith was always hanging with the Gryffs., but hopefully I've been able to show that Buffy has hung out with the Slyths. but wasn't as well received. Hopefully I've also shown the interaction and the fact that they don't care about the rivalries. Any suggestions on how Spike's going to find them?

chicklepea - Thanks! I realize that Faith seems a bit OoC, but I don't think I could write her cannon wise. I hope you noticed that I did mention Dawn, but what can you say about her that wouldn't get to Voldie? She'd be a good weapon for the dark lord.

Miss Lesley - Thanks for reviewing, hope this helps. Buffy, Faith, Albus and Minerva are the only ones that know Buffy and Faith's age at the beginning. That's why they're treated like they're 17. You had a good idea about sneaking them into the muggle world, though the problem I have with changing Lucius/Narcissa/Severus' future is that they don't know what it is and who's Faith to tell them not to do something?

Spikes Girl 77 - Thanks! I'm glad you like it.

Goddessa39 - Thanks for reading and reviewing. As for a B/A ship, I'm not really a fan of B/A. As for right now there will be no pairings.

kms - Hope that you've continued to read it. Thanks for the review. Please continue to let me know what you think.

Pixie Flyer - Weird is good, right? If you want weird read 'Body Swap' or Three Mothers Two Fathers.

Cow as White as Milk - Thanks! Hope you're enjoying the course of the story.

zayra - Thanks for reviewing. Hope you like the story and that you still find it interesting. No pairings as of right now, but if you have any suggestions let me know and I'll see.

Stemaphie - Hyper Buffy is good. I thought it was fitting to have Faith be kind of 'uggg' and Buffy to be 'woo hoo'. As you can tell from later chapters, some of the students know about them being slayers, but only if Faith and Buffy tell them or if they actually heard their ramblings at the beginning. Any suggestions on Spike's appearance?

SlayerChick - Thanks! Hope you're still reading.

Allen Pitt - Sorry for not responding earlier, but it's the marauder's time (my bad for not responding sooner). I think the best way to explain it is that they're not in their world of demons anymore, whether or not it's a different dimension? Possibly. Suggestions?

Cilou - I liked the beginning too. Thanks for reviewing.

ztacel – Thanks! So glad you're enjoying reading my story and this chapter. Faith/Sirius kind of snuck up on me, I wasn't actually going to handle them like that, but I like the result.

Teen15 – Will they? Probably. I don't want to change the course of history too much. Hope you continue to read the story to find out what'll happen next.

Just Me – Thanks! I'm going to try (as you can tell from above) to continue posting as often as I can. Thanks for reading it to this point.
