Hey, guys and gals!

I just want to start this note by saying thank you. All of your kudos, reviews, and love have no joke kept me going for YEARS. I started this in 2016? That's so crazy, and I can honestly say I've grown so much as a writer. So thank you all, whether you recently started reading or have been with me from the beginning. I appreciate each and every one of you.

If you can't tell, this author note is kinda sad. I've decided to do a full rewrite of this story. Let's be real, the way I used to write is so different from the way I write now that chapter one seems like a totally different story! And I really don't think I did it justice. I'm not giving up, and I'm not deleting this one at all. I cherish y'all's reviews and comments too much for that! So I'm going to mark this one as complete, even though it's SO NOT, and I'm going to rewrite from the beginning. I think I rushed things between Draco and Hermione, left out a lot of key development moments, and it made the story feel rushed.

So, what now?

I'll be writing a whole lot apparently! And I'm going to let you guys know whenever I get the story going again, I won't forget you! It'll be posted under the same name (Beauty From Pain) so it can be found easily. And for those of you subscribed, I'll post an update here to let you know whenever that happens. Hopefully it won't be too far in the future, but I want to get at least a decent amount written so you guys don't have to suffer such long periods between chapters. (I really am the worst when it comes to that).

I love you all, and I can't thank you guys enough for your support over the years. Here's to a fresh start and (hopefully) a productive future!

Much love,

Grace
