Hi, everyone! It's the author, not Ginny, but none of this is going to be in bold, because this chapter is just one long author's note. Sorry.

Time for … SPECIAL THANKS! Yayyy! Time for my friends to get credit.

Shout-out to … Erin! Sarah! Payal! Abbi!

Thanks to Erin for always being there and encouraging me to write more with her! Yay! And also for finally READING HARRY POTTER! Three cheers, everyone.

BIG thanks to Sarah! Sarah helped me set up my fanfiction account and got me back into writing. Without her, there would be no story! No twilighthp95! No me-as-I-am (which goes for all of my friends, FYI)! So goodie.

Now, for Payal! My Mugglecast buddy! My Harry Potter lifeline! You should hear us babble on for half an hour straight about Harry Potter nonstop … So thanks, Payal! (Also, she's the one who got me to update again, to an extent, so props for that.)

Abbi! Who doesn't read this fanfiction! So this is useless! But I'll say it anyway. Abbi's not really into Harry Potter, so she doesn't make me update or serve as an outlet for my Harry Potter energy, but everybody needs friends, right?!

Now. A huge-huge-huge thanks goes to you guys!! In particular those of you who allllways review. You are SO helpful and I love reading your reviews. I'm not exactly thrilled with my own writing, so it just shocks me some of the compliments I've gotten! I don't deserve them, but they sure do inspire me!

Okay. Now for some plugs. (Remind you of Arthur Weasley? But not that kind of plug.) For instance … watch RENT, listen to Mugglecast, and read the following fanfictions: "Sweet Merlin Get Away From Me," "Tremors" (a RENT fanfic), and "Tears In the Music" (a Twilight fanfic). ("SWGAFM" is a Harry Potter one.) They are all wonderful (though the Harry Potter one I would surely rate PG-13, but it's still so hysterical that I'm reading it).

Here's the plan. I was recently thinking of doing some oneshots, but I really don't feel like it, so, um, that's that. Within minutes of this post (so, probably by the time you read this) the sequel, titled "Life After Death," will be posted! The first chapter is going to be the funeral. It'll be the same as the one I posted in here (but maybe a few alterations at the beginning to make it make more sense for being the first chapter of a story). But don't get mad! Along with that chapter, the plan is for me to post a brand-new chapter about Ginny's journey to Hogwarts during her seventh year. I'd write about the summer, but it probably wouldn't be all that interesting! There are only so many things that can happen to a seventeen-year-old on summer break at her own house. The good part starts when she graduates Hogwarts. Read and review, please!
Over and out,

Twilighthp95
