Hey all it's me, Shadowed lives, or Mini i prefer the second. so i know its been MONTHS since my last update, but i am working hard and there is no way I'm giving up on this, but you know I'm a junior in high school, colleges look at this year in-particular, oh and i was directing a play since october, but its over now so i will be less busy, but my finals come up next week before winter break...but i will take my lap top to Mexico and work, i have been typing just not uploading, i might post before i leave (date isn't known). so for all of you who thought i gave up and didn't say anything, have faith and some hope i haven't nor is there a chance that i will.

those of you who have been patient with me, here is sort of a review of what i'm thinking for Harry's birthday party, the one the kids want to surprise him with.


"James I thought we all agreed that it would be just close friends and family!" Rosie whispered to her outrages cousin when she saw the list of people he was sending owls to.

"Calm down Rose, those are not invitations they were request to different businesses for the different things we agreed we needed." James said innocently to his rule abiding cousin, it's not like we was inviting that many more people, i mean inviting Oliver Wood and his Quiddaitch team wasn't many more, and Victor Krum is a friend of his fathers, and trying to get the Wierd Sisters to play at the party was such a long shot he didn't really think they would say yes, so he wasn't really up to anything.

Poor Rose was so frazzled she didn't even notice the mischievous gleam in James Potters eyes.


Alright so that's sort of what I'm thinking will happen, any way i apologize greatly for not updating but look forward to that this holiday season.

Yours truly,

Mini, or Shadowed lives :)

P.S this will be replaced with the actual chapter when its uploaded so...it wont be here for long i promise
