WARNING!!!
THIS CHAPTER IS, BASICALLY, JUST ONE BIG AUTHOR'S NOTE.
BUT-
EVEN IF YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE READING THE FIRST PART, PLEASE READ THE SECOND PART!!! IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT BACKROUND INFORMATION FOR THE UPCOMING CHAPTERS!!!!
PART 1: Okay! I'm baaaaack! I come, bearing a gift- another story, starring Remus and Ginny, everyone's favorite pairing -or my favorite paring, anyway. But since this is my story, I suppose that's what matters.
And this time, I'm not going to put a chapter limit on it- I have learned my lesson! I don't think it will be super long- my attention span is rather short- but who knows?
Not me! (scary thought)
In fact, I'm not even 100 percent sure exactly what's going to happen in this story. I have a beginning… and an end. The rest is just going to be an adventure- yay!
I happen to like adventures.
I don't really know how I came up with this idea- it just kind of struck me. You know how those things happen.
Alright. This Author's Note is getting monstrously long. On to part 2!
PART 2: Alright. There's a few things that you need to know before the story actually technically starts because, well, I'm lazy and don't feel like finding a creative way to include it in the story. It's just some background information about our beloved characters. So, here it is:
FIRST AND FOREMOST!
The war is over. And since I'm nice, everyone survived- well, except Voldemort. Sirius still died, but Dumbledore lives!
NOW, GINNY!
Ginny is 25. After Hogwarts, she was a struggling, starving young reporter, doing bit pieces for the Daily Prophet but, of course, dreaming of more. Then, five years ago, she was "discovered" by Madelina Giocomo, the owner of [insert snazzy magazine name here. I can't think of a name for it. It's like Cosmo, but for witches, alright? I'm just going to call it TM- The Magazine. I know, lame.
Anyways, Madelina immediately fell in love with Ginny's fresh style and look, and offered her the job of a lifetime- writing for and co-publishing and -editing TM in New York City.
Now, not only has sales of TM soared since the addition of Ginny to the staff, but now Ginny is, pretty much, the America's wizarding world's sweetheart. She's the "sexy, young face of TM", and her fun, fresh articles relate to everyone from young preteens to old biddies. She not only interviews celebrities; she's a celebrity in her own right.
At first she was thrilled, but she's not quite happy with this lifestyle anymore.
NOW, REMUS!
Remus is 48. (I don't care how old he "really" is- in my story, he's 48!!) He's still a werewolf. After the war, though, everyone loves him because he played a big role in the defeat of Voldemort. He's been the Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher for six years- now, parents who were causing a big stink before when he was a teacher at Hogwarts are now honored to have him teaching their children.
During the school year, of course, he lives at Hogwarts. But, during the summer he lives at 12 Grimmuald Place and oversees the upkeep of the house and all the people in it- since, not only is 12 Grimmuald Place headquarters for the Order, but it is also a temporary home for any traveling Order members or guests of the Order.
He dated Tonks for a while, but eventually they broke up. Things just weren't really working out- Tonks felt that Remus's heart wasn't really into having a relationship. They're still friends, though. Since Tonks, he's dated a few women, but- to his dismay- nothing serious.
AND NOW, EVERYONE ELSE!
Ron, an Auror, and Hermione, a record-keeper at the ministry, are married and have three boys- David, 5, Chris, 3, and Harold, 14 months. Harry, also an Auror, is engaged to a muggle librarian named Christine. Bill and Fleur have just one daughter, Bridgette, and she's 9. Fred's been married to Angelina Johnson for only a few months. George is a bachelor. Charlie's a bachelor. Percy's a prat, and doesn't exist, really, in this story.
Anyone I'm forgetting?
Luna! Luna's got a live-in boyfriend named Tony. He's a muggle. He's a stoner. He mistakes Luna's… Luna-ness for potheaded-ness. But, she loves him.
And there. I think that's everyone.
Now I can start the story!
