Epilogue/Author's Note:

I just wanted to write this to thank everybody a little more personally who reviewed this story. I have never gotten this many reviews for any one fanfiction before, so thank you guys SO much for all your help and comments throughout.

For those of you who have asked: yes, there will be a sequel. Actually the sequel was the idea I came up with first. This was just supposed to be a short story leading up to the sequel…heh heh…..so very often this is how my stories turn out… "it was SUPPOSED to be short ;)"

The sequel will indeed be set after the end of season 7 of Buffy and some of you (I won't say who) have already guessed some of the coming plot points, so you'll hopefully enjoy it. I won't unfortunately get a chance to write any of it until possibly June as I am going on vacation and won't have access to a computer. I will get a head start on it though so hopefully by the time I get back I will have a good chunk of it written. I've already plotted out some of the finer details and it looks like it might even be a trilogy so I guess we'll see what happens.

And now to get a little more specific, I wanted to spend out special thanks to:

MAndrews-You have been reading this and helping me throughout the whole story. Not to mention upping my review count just cause ya love me ;) he he! Seriously though thanks for reading my stuff and being patient with me when the updates are late. I look forward to the next chapter of your HP fic young lady :)
